Christmas is a time of joy and happiness, and being surrounded by those you cherish and love. But, maybe this is the year that you feel enticed to do something out of the ordinary. Say, something like exploring another country and its culture, basking in a little R&R on a detox retreat, or Christmas-ing in a Chalet on the slopes. Whether it’s a getaway for Christmas or New Year’s, alone or with family or friends, these exquisite retreats are sure to spark holiday inspiration and many memories…
It’s an exciting time for new Miami condominium developments. Attention-grabbing projects are rising in every community from Aventura to South Beach, Downtown Miami to North Bay Village, Brickell Avenue to Miami Arts District. Whether you are in Miami this week for Art Basel, or planning a visit in the next few months, I encourage you to check them out!
Art Basel is one of the most stellar annual events in the Art World, and this year’s festivities run December 2 through 7 in Miami Beach, FL. The event draws in over 70,000 visitors – curators and gawkers alike – from around the world every year, making it one of the most global art events in existence. This event features displays by numerous esteemed artisans of Modern and Contemporary art as well as many rising stars. Many of these installations will be showcased in the main exhibit, while other earnest artworks and performances become one with the seascape, Collins Park and SoundScape Park specifically. Here we’ve mapped out a list of what to do this year…
The {Foodie} Life: French Cuisine

Author Michael Gross’s new book, “House of Outrageous Fortune: Fifteen Central Park West, the World’s Most Powerful Address”, takes lucky reader’s on a walk down “Billionaire’s Belt”. Located in the Columbus Circle area, on West 57th Street, this area is home to New York City’s most expensive condos, including 15 Central Park West. He shares anecdotes about how the famous residence came to be, from the rent controlled tenant that would not leave, to a mysterious theft, and everything in between.
Whether you choose to head out East to the Hamptons, or stay in the city, there are so many things to do this holiday weekend! One of my favorite activities to do over 4th of July weekend is watch fireworks with my friends and family, so I’ve put together a list of the best places to see them, from Manhattan to Eastern Long Island- the {new york} life has your 4th plans covered!
the {real estate} life: New Developments in Tribeca
The summer is certainly heating up, but the hottest part about NYC right now are the new developments from some of my favorite architects popping up in Tribeca. Here are 8 buildings to watch, and I’m sure you won’t be able to miss them.
There are endless things to do in New York, especially in the summer. This season is the perfect time to explore everything the {new york} life has to offer outside of Manhattan with some fabulous local trips!
One of the newest additions to fabulous Chelsea is the champagne garden at the High Line Hotel, Champagne Charlie. This chic pop-up restaurant just opened in the very European looking front garden of The High Line Hotel on Tenth Avenue. From legendary Australian restaurateur Lincoln Pilcher, known for Moby Dick’s in Montauk and Gilligan’s at the Soho Grand.

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.”
Summer may be on it’s way out be there are still plenty of exciting things to do around the City this weekend. Enjoy an exciting lobster bake, get in touch with your creative side, or catch a flick in the park. With help from the talented Luxury Attache concierge team here at Town Residential, here are some weekend activities to put look forward to:
With the 4th of July weekend behind us, summer is in full force and (if this weekend’s weather was any indication) the temperature is only going to rise. While sitting indoors with the air conditioner cranked up to capacity may be an easy solution, it’s impossible–and almost silly–to spend your entire summer inside. Check out these rooftop pools for a quick, cool getaway from the city’s upcoming heat waves.
Independence Day in Gotham means fun, food and frivolity across the boroughs. Instead of lining up along the Hudson River to see the Macy’s fireworks like the rests of the crowds, why not secure your own perch in the sky? The Macy’s show will boast over 40,000 fireworks starting at 9:00 this Thursday evening and will last approximately 45 minutes. There are many spectacular rooftop bars throughout the city to get an up-close view of the show here are my recommendations:
Access, convenience and luxury at it’s finest; here at TOWN, that’s what we’ve become accustomed…
I am thrilled to announce the one year anniversary of The {New York} Life! What I’ve been able to share with you over the last year has been both fun and moving. The greatest reward though has been the opportunity to develop incredible relationships with amazing, inspiring friends that have enriched my career and have given me an insider’s view on all the different ways people express life in Manhattan – with their homes, through food, with fitness, in being mommies. I am so grateful to live in this amazing city that has always had so many doors of opportunity for growth for me.
Estefania Lacayo is the founder of one of my favorite online shopping sites, Edition01.com. Edition01 is the destination for innovative and exclusive product collaborations across fashion, lifestyle and art. Estefania and her team work with the best international fashion and accessories designers, artists and creatives to bring the chicest of shoppers rare talent pairings and original style pieces. Estefania’s business savvy isn’t the only thing that drew me to her. She also captivated me with her great taste: in home decor (her own home displays a beautiful mix of organic pieces with sterling silver accents), in restaurants (read about her favorites below!) and the way she approaches life in New York as a celebration of creativity.
I chatted with Estefania recently over lunch at The Nomad and got to know what makes her New York Life so unique…
The best thing about eating healthy isn’t as much the affect it has on the outside as the benefits you can gain on the inside. Heath is more important than size, and these immune boosting superfoods will keep you healthy and able to enjoy your busy work days, workouts, family time, and all that makes up your New York life!
Keep these foods prevalent in your diet for multiple immune system benefits…
TOWN Residential’s new marketing campaign, “Look Up New York” is beyond inspiring. How often do you look up throughout your day, between business and iPhones and all of our daily distractions, and notice the beauty of this city in the history and architecture? Being a New Yorker, we are surrounded by so much beauty that’s easily missed. I love TOWN’s encouragement to take time to Look Up and truly appreciate the city…
I love the balance of my friend Marni Salup’s New York lifestyle! A neighborhood she loves, a walk-up apartment with tons of character, a PR company she founded herself, and the healthy discipline and strength of a triathlete. Through her PR work she secured a recent feature for Maria Brito in Elle Magazine – an example of how women can help each other succeed, adding value to each other’s lives by celebrating and empowering each other and sharing in our journey of parenting, careers and being our strongest selves!
Marni is inspiring in so many ways! Naturally, I had to ask her to sit down and talk with me about her exciting life in Chelsea and what she loves most about living in New York…
It was an honor to be part of this month’s AVENUE Magazine! If you don’t know AVENUE yet, it’s a must-read among the city’s most stylish and savvy audiences. By celebrating the blend of affluence and influence…
Being a city mommy has its own challenges and rewards. There are days I claim a “total success” when I can drop my kids off to school, pick them up and do homework with them and contribute towards playtime while negotiating deals for my clients and showing the hottest properties in the city, and fit in a workout. However, not every day is the perfect city mommy or real estate life day…
Happy Valentine’s Day! Fall in love with Bianca Pratt in a special Valentine’s Day Q&A!
I met my friend Bianca Pratt first as a workout buddy at Tracy Anderson’s studio, and I’ve been lusting after her jewelry ever since. The simplicity of her pieces creates a very classic style that looks great on any woman and would make a perfect Valentine’s gift, even if for yourself! They are also great pieces to wear in business, for they’re not ostentatious. I sat down with Bianca at her Tribeca loft, which mirrors the classic beauty of her work, to talk about the New York life, mommyhood, and how she creates a “balancing act” in her life…
Spend your snow day in Manhattan sledding with the kids at one of these parks, known for their sledding hills in winter, or take the family (or a date!) ice skating at the Standard Hotel rink. Meeting the girls? Sip afternoon tea at the Plaza Hotel.
Here’s a quick guide to the best things to do when it’s snowy in New York!
Can’t you just feel the buzz in the air? Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week kicks off today, and it’s not just the tents and the shows but the events and the hottest bars and restaurants in town that all get taken over by fashion’s elite…
This week I took a bold step in my life and was reminded how important healthy eating is to our overall health: physically, mentally and emotionally. When you’re kicking things up in your life, be it big career changes, a new fitness routine, new relationships, it’s always important to rejuvenate, recharge and replenish your good energy by putting good things into your body. What better timing than to explore some of my tips for eating healthy for yourself and the whole family…
The new year has brought about so much new inspiration, but also some reminders of the things that have been inspiring me for a long time. We’ve just added a new page to The {New York} Life specifically celebrating my 12 years as an agent and 10 years as a Co-Founder and COO at Mark David & Company. I am extremely grateful for everyone…

I am thrilled to have had the opportunity this year to create The {New York} Life! What I’ve been able to share with you over the last 6 months has been both fun and moving.
I waited 40 years to go to Paris. It had been a long-standing dream of mine and finally I got to visit the amazing city for my 40th birthday with the love of my life! I can’t think of a better way to travel to such a romantic and culture-packed place. The food (we lived on crepes), the art (the Louvre alone is days and days worth of iconic paintings and statures!) and the fashion (Dior, Isabel Marant, the inspiring street style!) are just some of what make Paris so unique. The city itself is beautiful too…

There’s something about the start of a new season that gives me a bit of the travel itch. And, thanks to Crystal Meers, who I met while working out this summer, I have a new way to plot out the next stop on my jet set schedule! Crystal is a part of the team behind Fathom, a travel site that does more than just point to a destination…it gives you every possible detail you could ever hope for. There’s a section for everything, including dedicated posts on what you like to travel for…

Jason Binn is at it again. And I am oh-so-excited he is!
You may know him as the CEO of the Gilt Groupe, but today, let’s all know him for bringing the latest chic glossy, DuJour, to our city’s magazine stands.
I love bold colors and pop art by all kinds of artists. Of course, the man who started it all, Andy Warhol, is a definitely favorite. That’s why I’m looking forward to this fall at the Met, as they pay tribute to the legacy of Andy Warhol with Regarding Warhol: Sixty Artists, Fifty Years. The exhibition examines The Factory founder’s influence on art and culture by juxtaposing nearly 45 of his paintings, sculptures and films alongside works from contemporary artists who have reinterpreted or been influenced by his pop art sensibility. You’d think they curated this one just for me!
It’s fall in New York, and that statement comes with an automatic sensory overload. Art openings (check back Monday for my choice of must-see exhibit), the most perfect walks on the High-Line, the best fashion to be had in the city, and an outpouring of new restaurants to expand your tastes! This fall, I am thrilled to see the new batch of great restaurants opening their doors and feeding our bellies (and, for we foodies, our souls).
Being a real estate agent in New York City allows me to view some of the city’s most gorgeous and amazing buildings. I’ve seen hundreds of places to live throughout the city, but there are a few that really stand out to me due to their location, amenities and other other offerings. I’ve put together a list of my favorite buildings in Manhattan for you to explore.
It’s my birthday week, and I promise you there’s no shortage of celebrations. We kicked things off with a garden barbecue at Sonya Chodry’s gorgeous house. She grows so much of her own food, and everything was delicious, from the salad to the vegetables to the burgers on the grill. There’s nothing better than sharing delicious and healthy food with amazing friends! I’m feeling so blessed.
I mentioned it last week, but it deserves a post all of it’s own. If you haven’t checked out leibal.com yet, it’s time to peruse and be inspired by these modern, space saving accessories just begging to revamp your home.
August and September are my favorite months to shop – when all the new fall styles hit the stores. Nothing makes me happier than a new leather jacket, a classic Chanel bag (a must-have for every girl’s wardrobe), some fresh tees and skinny pants. Then of course I top it all off with some stand-out jewelry, whether some stacked bracelets or a memorable necklace. There’s something so inspiring about fall fashion; the edge, the layering, the mystery…
Elana Brynes and I met at Tracy Anderson Method’s Detox Week in the Hamptons, where she had come to do a trunk show for her Kings of Cole brand, and I was immediately impressed both with Elana’s energy and the creativity in her work! Of course, I ordered two of her Kings of Cole sweatshirts, which are flattering, unique, and comfortable, and I’ve been wearing them nonstop!
I asked Elana, a native New Yorker, to chat with me about her life on the Upper East Side and the inspiration behind Kings of Cole.
These are some of my favorite pieces to wear right now – both what I find myself drawn to in the morning when I’m getting dressed for the day, and the first things I toss in my suitcase when we’re headed out of town, for both short and long trips. You’ll probably recognize a lot of these pieces from my recent pictures. Now you’ll know where they’re from so you can snag them for your own summer wardrobe. Happy shopping!
There’s something special about summer in New York… It’s like the busy city takes a deep breath and relaxes just a little. The styles on the street are lighter and brighter, windows are open, the parks are dotted with picnickers, and everyone is looking for the nearest beach or pool!
