New Yorkers love to think they know everything about their city—where to find the best street-meat cart, how to avoid paying full price at museums, what route to take to skip traffic down Broadway. But New York City can reveal new treasures to even its most grizzled veterans. Beyond the city where we work, eat, play and commute every day lies a hidden New York: mysterious, forgotten, abandoned or just overlooked. I’ve compiled a list of New York City’s coolest secret spots, ones you’re not likely to read about in any guidebooks. Get out there and discover them (well, those that are accessible anyway) for yourself.
I had the pleasure this week of closing on an apartment that I have come to love. The 4th floor at 47 Murray combines the elegance of a prewar loft with the epitome of modern luxury living. Set in an exclusive, four-unit condominium building in the heart of Tribeca, the apartment features soaring 13-foot ceilings, exquisite finishes, and expansive space for living and entertaining.
I am so grateful to be working with Town Residential which, in addition to commanding a powerful brand, gives its agents the freedom to think outside of the box and infuse their marketing initiatives with creativity and innovation.

With Thanksgiving coming up this month, I wanted to highlight some great ways NYC kids and their parents can help give back to those in need. Here are a range of opportunities for children of all ages so everyone can participate. While kids may not be able to work in a soup kitchen, they can certainly help the homeless and hungry in other meaningful ways.
A newly budding interest I’ve taken is in all of the fantastic artwork on display…
