I almost forgot to offer my eye candy of the month! This week I’ll review two eye-poppers, 30 Park Place and the Puck Penthouses. They are both incredible and geared to the tippy top of the market. A lot of press went out this past week about 432 Park topping out, at 1396 feet. 30

Hello! Looking for some inspiration? Our run of the month isn’t happening until November 2nd…the TCS NYC Marathon! Come out and cheer for the 50,000 crazy people hitting the streets in Staten Island – I’ll be one of them. I thought I’d point out a bit about the course, in case you’re thinking about where

Since we committed, many years ago, to sending out our newsletter mid-month rather than on the 1st of the month, it will sometimes go out the same day that taxes are due, or the day of the Boston Marathon bombing, or, in this case, about a month since the most recent stock market peak. Let’s

August has been a slower New Development month, so I’ll give shouts out to two very different developments I visited: 135 West 52nd Street and 1110 Park Avenue.
