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.

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 throughout Manhattan. From the countless inspired galleries peppered throughout Chelsea, to the major museums like The Guggenheim…
I am so excited to see the first listings emerging for The Greenwich Lane in West Village. Named for one of Manhattan’s first roads, The Greenwich Lane is a 200-unit condo project in the West Village that’s hoping to do a few big things: revitalize the block between 11th and 12th streets off of Seventh Avenue, be environmentally friendly, combine historic structures with new construction, and offer “an unheard-of level of character and service.”
New York City, the largest in the U.S. in terms of population, is a gastronomical paradise with every type, quantity, style and price range of food available. There are so many restaurants within the five boroughs of New York City that you could eat at a different one every day and still not have tried them all 12 years later. That doesn’t stop most New Yorkers from trying the more than 4,200 restaurants in the city. If that many options seems a bit daunting here are a few to put at the top of your list.
Earlier this week I had the pleasure of visiting a building that will be a game-changer for the real estate industry everywhere. 66 East 11th Street, coined “The Delos,” is a remarkable example of a shift that is happening in real estate – a shift toward a more holistic, wellness-centered approach to development.
