Soho was once a thriving art district known for it’s galleries but now the neighborhood showcases a different kind of art: the city’s best fashion. All the chicest clothing, shoes, and jewelry can be found among Soho’s busy sidewalks and cobblestone streets. Soho has also become known as one of Manhattan’s best Real Estate neighborhoods. (Sandra Bullock, Meg Ryan, Femke Jensen, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos agree!) Plus there’s still plenty of culture to be found. Here are some highlights of the {soho} life!

I recently discovered the most inspiring furniture store in Sag Harbor! Located at 40 Madison Street in Sag Harbor, MONC XIII, has something for everyone. Whether your taste is classic or more modern, this shop is unique and fabulous. Curated by LA interior designer, (and Sag Harbor transplant and devotee), Natasha Esch describes her vision for MONC XIII as, “Elegant, personally curated, antique and vintage furniture and accents for the home. We want to inspire our customers with a beautiful environment and most importantly unique, spectacular, hand-picked selections from 18th Century to Mid Century. All backed up by impeccable service and knowledge”.
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.

Valley Tribeca
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.
If you are planning to stay local for the holidays and don’t want to bother with all of the prep and clean up that comes with a standard Thanksgiving feast, here are some great restaurants to consider. Contact me at claudia@townrealestate.com to take advantage of our incredible concierge service, Luxury Attache, and gobble up these great Thanksgiving reservations before it’s too late. These spots will go fast and they’re available on a first come, first served basis!
Cold weather may be on the way but that shouldn’t stop you from having a great weekend. Here are some fun suggestions to get the most out of Friday, Saturday and Sunday!…
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.
Have you picked out a costume yet? No? Then read on, friends. The stores listed below are the best costume stores in NYC. Browse their aisles, and become something scary, sexy, silly, or something wholly unique.
As most of you know by now, I’m a big advocate of the Tracy Anderson Method and all of her supporting programs. I thoroughly enjoyed her detox program both this summer and the summer before, her leggings for Edition01 are fabulous, and we had a blast on Good Morning America. NOW, I am very excited to share that the Tracy Anderson Method is available to men.
Every October, New York City hosts a terrifying number of Halloween activities. In fact, there are so many great ways to celebrate, you may need a magic eight ball to decide where to go. Here a few options to consider:
One of my favorite past times is taking my children out and experiencing the wonder of our enchanting City through their eyes. Yesterday, Sofia and I had fun strolling along the High Line and cozying up in the charming High Line Hotel.
TGIF, everyone! We’ve made it through another week and there are plenty of fun things to reward yourself for a job well-done. Make sure to visit an open house this weekend or try your hand at perfecting the perfect pizza pie. If pizza isn’t on your menu these days and you have an exciting Halloween costume you’re trying to fit into, then check out a chic yoga class in Little Italy or try a CrossFit class along the East River – if you dare.
A new store has opened in Tribeca that every fashionista MUST put at the top of her shopping list. Named after co-owners Kimmy Carton’s and Jackie Brookstein’s hometown – Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania – Valley offers a compelling alternative to Soho boutiques.
Fall of 2013 is turning into THE season for new developments in New York City. With inventory at an all-time low, I’m thrilled to see these projects drawing closer and closer to opening. There are dozes of great new development projects taking place throughout the city. Here are three more to keep at the top of your list.
Happy Friday, everyone! Last week, I enjoyed sharing some hot spots with you so much, that I’ve decided to share more with you every Friday. I had an incredible meal at Carbone this week – I definitely suggest you add it to your list if you’ve not already been. If you’re in the mood for a ritzy night out, try the SL nightclub. Feel like getting pampered? -Stop by Pas de Deux Salon for an invigorating scalp treatment. And if you’re looking for something to keep you (and perhaps even the kids) occupied, The New Yorker Festival and the James Beard House both have some exciting events in store for the weekend.
Last week I had the great fortune to travel to Paris, the City of Light, with a handful of women who, in addition to being incredible mothers and fitness buddies at Tracy Anderson Method, are some of the best friends I could ever ask for. Traveling to Paris with them was a completely different experience than traveling alone or with family – we didn’t want to go home, so we went BIG! The restaurants were world-class, the museums took my breath away, and the shopping …oh my gosh, the shopping! Here are the highlights of a week in Paris to give you the travel bug too!
If you ask me, fall starts when the pumpkin spiced lattes start rolling out but the official first day of the season was last Sunday, the 22nd so now there is no denying it – Summer is over and fall is here! Before the sky darkens and the weather gets too frigid, take your sweetheart out on the town for a fun night of great food, exciting shows and sumptuous cocktails. Here are a few spots on the top of my list:
You were probably able to surmise from my last post that I am deeply invested in my children’s education and well-being. I would imagine most parents are! Here are an assortment of…
As one of the founding families at Avenues: The World School, we took a leap of faith and trusted that this establishment would be the best choice for our family. After a full year with Avenues, I can say with confidence that it was everything we had hoped for – and then some! We’re so excited to have such an amazing private school downtown. It has been a blessing my daughter’s growth and development while attending the school and I cannot wait to see what is in store for her this year!
As the new admission season begins, I’d like to introduce you to the incredible Avenues community. The happiness and positive energy is truly contagious and I am enthusiastic to endorse this school to all New York parents and beyond. This fall, Avenues will have weekly grade- and division-specific Parent Information Events. I sincerely recommend these events to anyone that is curious about the school.
Whether we like it or not, we live in an age where much of what goes on in our daily lives is monitored, collected and sold to interested parties — our driving records, our medical history, our Internet traffic and, most importantly, our credit information.
A mistake on your credit report can cost you money. It can increase the interest you pay on loans, prevent you from getting a mortgage or buying a car, landing a job or getting a security clearance. It’s not uncommon. A new government study indicates as many as 40 million Americans have a mistake on their credit report. Twenty million have significant mistakes. Those mistakes can be nearly impossible to get removed from your record.

Once, living in a building with celebrity residents or prewar pedigree was the goal of every high-spending New Yorker. Now, the City’s nouveau riche have slightly different aspirations: “starchitect developments.” A recently coined word capturing the latest craze for celebrity architects, starchitecture has proven to bring real value to new developments, Crain’s reports. Developers around the world have proven eager to sign up “top talent” in hopes of convincing reluctant municipalities to approve large developments, of obtaining financing or of increasing the value of their buildings. A key characteristic is that the architect’s designs are almost always iconic and highly visible within the site or context.
Summer may be on it’s way out be there are still plenty of exciting things to do around the City this weekend.

August is a busy month in the City and in the Hamptons as well. Here are a few events that I’m looking forward to in the next few weeks:
The Tracy Anderson detox week that I participated in last year was incredible and this summer was just as unforgettable as the last! What an amazing group of motivated, inspiring women I was honored to share the experience with. Here, I’ll share with you a little bit of my Detox Week experience.
Last year, I had an amazing experience participating in Tracy Anderson’s Detox Week. Tomorrow is kicking off the 2013 detox and I couldn’t be more excited! I’ll be sharing this week’s adventure with you soon but here are some fond memories of last year:
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.
This weekend is a particularly exciting one as ArtHamptons teams up to celebrate Hamptons Magazine’s 35th anniversary and then tomorrow is “Dan’s Taste of Two Forks” event hosted by Bobby Flay with emcee Alex Guarnaschelli.
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:

Last week, the latest Trunk Show was hosted at a gorgeous penthouse at 55 Warren, in the heart of TriBeCa. Guests sipped on wine and summer rosé while perusing a myriad of chic couture provided by Edition 01 – a creative agency focusing on commerce and product development.
Summer is almost upon us and I’m so excited to get out enjoy all of the exciting things to do in the sun. As many of you probably already know, I’m a Tracy Anderson devotee – I even dropped ten pounds on her detox program in the Hamptons last summer and danced my butt off doing it. I also enjoyed several classes at Barry’s Bootcamp with my husband. It was one of the most unique and challenging workouts I’ve ever had in one hour. – It will leave you breathless! This year, I’m dying to try yoga paddleboards.
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.
Whether you’re making a quick trip to the coast for Memorial Day Weekend or traveling abroad for an adventurous holiday, be sure you celebrate what this first big summer weekend is all about: sun, good food, friends or family, and fun! Here is a guide to my favorite summer spots, near and far.

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…

And 2. Spring is here! In honor of the bright new season, I’ve put together a gift package that includes my favorite things of the season and will help you start some new healthy habits…
Dining out in New York is one of the things that make this the greatest city to live in! No matter the occasion or the company, there is always a new place to try with your friends, family or date. It always excites New Yorkers to have the best experiences in dining – and such variety – at our fingertips.
Here are my top 5 picks for the month…
Recently we celebrated my son Tyler’s 7th birthday in the park with cake from Ruthy’s Bakery, a piñata, and lots of friends! Some of the greatest things about New York are the many ways in which you can celebrate life’s best moments.
Here’s how we made Tyler’s Birthday fun and a success and you can do it your favorite New York City park…
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…
One of the best things in having a real estate career is having access to present some of the city’s most amazing properties to my clients. Landscaped balconies, breath-taking views, gorgeous chef…
This week I was so thrilled to celebrate the release of Out There with my lovely friend Maria Brito.

Jumpsuits take me back to the 70’s, when I started wearing them at the age of 5! This year, be sure to add at least one jumpsuit to your wardrobe. They are so versatile: I wore my Isabel Marant jumpsuit to my son’s 7th birthday party this past weekend. I would also pair one with a sharp, tailored suit jacket to meet clients…
It seems that Spring has finally arrived, and what better time to enjoy its debut than Easter Weekend – especially in Manhattan where there are so many options for how to celebrate! An Easter Egg Hunt in Central Park, or at a museum? Family brunch, or your kids can learn to be junior chefs! The {New York} Life and Luxury Attache put together a list of the city’s best kid-friendly events for your Easter Weekend!
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…
Living in NYC is a never ending discovery of new hot spots, but along with that there are “old New York” spots where you can truly enjoy a night out and step back in time. As my dear friend Bianca Pratt would say, “Don’t you enjoy experiencing old New York at this bar?” Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle Hotel is a cozy old New York…
There is so much about style that’s inspiring me this spring: my passion, in the new lines that make me feel powerful at work; my gratefulness to be a mommy in fun twists on city mommy looks for spending time with my kids; my creativity, in fun ways to layer these fresh pieces… style infiltrates every part of our lives! This season, I’ll post a new style board each week, sharing some of my favorite pieces with you, from the casual to the formal…
Last night I had an amazing dinner at a new favorite spot, Tribeca Canvas. Directed by Iron Chef Morimoto, the well-priced menu features American cuisine with an Asian twist. My favorites were the shrimp nachos, the insanely delicious sea bass, and my friend Rogeria had the steak! We also shared a bottle of my favorite Malbec (Riglos Gran Malnec 2010). The decor is beautiful and I love having a place like this in Tribeca! That’s just what I told Chef Morimoto during our brief chat…
I love Spring in Manhattan! The streets start to thaw and the best of the city’s events appear on my calendar. One of my favorites of the year is The Armory Show, a showcase of the world’s very best artists. Saint Patrick’s Day and Easter also add to the month plenty of chances for family fun. Here are the events that should be on your agenda this month…
Recent trends in style and Real Estate show that The Meatpacking District, still a popular destination for brunch, shopping and clubs, is losing its appeal to the high fashion designers. Starting with the opening of Jeffery in 1999, then Pastis, a few clubs and swanky lounges like APT, the Meatpacking District had quickly become the talk of the town. Soon high-end designers like Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, Moschino, Matthew Williamson and La Perla were opening large downtown-cool boutiques to cater to downtown chic shoppers.
The first of many The {New York} Life events took place at one of the most stunning lofts in Tribeca, 55 North Moore, which is my exclusive at Town Residential. Here’s where all our 5 categories meet from The {New York} Life: a hot NYC property, many fitness devotees from Tracy Anderson Method, the most glam mommies in the city, Flycakes’ custom decorated homemade cookies (for us foodies!), chic Manhattan style from the fabulous Bianca Pratt’s jewelry…
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…
Food Chain is a film by Eric Schlosser (Food, Inc., Fast Food Nation) and director Sanjay Rawal (Challenging Impossibility) that explores the exploitation of farm workers in the agriculture industry in the United States, the complicity of government and corporations in perpetuating human rights abuses and the role consumers can play in ending some of the most egregious human rights violations within our borders. Our fruits and vegetables are grown and gathered by workers who are underpaid (wages equal cents on the dollar!) and who are bought and sold like slaves…
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…
Life has its own design. You have a choice but it’s up to you to go with it, to walk through the open doors of opportunity. Sometimes an opportunity you never expected or weren’t looking for will present itself to you, and you have to recognize that it could elevate your life. This quote from Oprah says it all for me…
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…
This month we will be picking some of our favorite fitness and loungewear pieces to inspire your work out style and keep you moving into the new year!

This Saturday is New York’s Shame On Sandy event featuring food from the city’s most fabulous chefs and variety show performances from actors likes of Anthony Bourdain, Abigail Breslin and Tracy Anderson! The event was put together by Melanie Dunea, the creator and photographer of “My Last Supper.” I’m really excited for what should be a fun and unique event as well as an opportunity to contribute to the continued recovery from Hurricane Sandy.
What a great start to 2013, joining Tracy Anderson on Good Morning America with all my inspiring friends from the Tracy Anderson Method studio. Being a wife, a mom and an entrepreneur has its many daily challenges, however if it wasn’t for my amazing support team and great work outs at Tracy Anderson studios I would not be able to do it all…
If you’re anything like me, you are in great need of a detox after the big meals and constant little snacks of the holidays. How convenient that New Years and its resolutions are coming up this week, giving us the perfect opportunity for a fresh start at revising our own personal goals and daily habits. Speaking of habits, how you start your day can determine the rest of your day, both in what you give to your body and how you feed your mind…
Happy New Year! Feliz año nuevo! Bonne année! Feliz Ano Novo! З Новим роком! 新年快樂! С Новым Годом! boldog új évet! gott nytt år! godt nytår! 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.
It has been such an honor to get to know Stephanie Hirsch lately. I was initially wowed by her genius work branding Soul Cycle, making cycling so cool, but even more so am I in love with her colorful, vibrant and chic artwork and inspired by her spirit! We sat down this week to talk about Stephanie’s work, her New York lifestyle, and what 2013 holds for her…
I can’t think of anything better than long, leisurely meals and warm, soul-filled cuisine on these winter days ahead of us, and no one does leisurely and warm better than the French! Check out these New York restaurants with French flair, from the critically acclaimed to the hidden gems.
Trying to finish up your shopping this weekend? I’ve put together a list of gifts your kids will love, from the fun and adventurous to the scientific and artistic, to the most stylish, here are the best gifts this season for kids in New York City and elsewhere!
There are some hot properties on the market in Chelsea right now! With all of the growing families in New York City and the great private schools in Downtown Manhattan (like Avenues), it’s become hard to find new properties to own or invest in for under $2.75M – but not impossible! These 3 bedroom listings are all under $2,750,000, are West of 5th Avenue and are going to go fast.
Recently I had the opportunity to try what is being described as many as the “Best Juice Cleanse,” BluePrintCleanse, as a gift from my friends at Manhattan Magazine! There are three options for cleanses
I am a raving fan of Dannijo, a jewelry line created by sisters Jodi and Danielle Snyder. They’ve taken the fashion world (and my accessories collection) by storm, and now their holiday pop-up shop is taking SoHo by storm as well!
The tree in Rockefeller Center is lit, there are ice skaters in Bryant Park, and I’m feeling a little extra magic in the air. The holidays are here! With the holidays come the puzzle of what to get for all the loved ones on your list. I put together a Gift Guide of some of my favorite things that will help you find the perfect gifts for the women you need to buy for this year. Happy Shopping!
The New York Academy of Art has hosted some of the best events this year in New York, and I’m very much looking forward to their Deck the Walls event next Friday, December 7th. The most festive and art-filled holiday party in NYC features hundreds of small and affordable works by the Academy’s exceptionally talented community of artists! You’ll have the chance to find original and unique Christmas gifts for friends and family, start or add to your own collection, dress up to celebrate the holidays and support a great cause…
I’m so excited to have this incredible, stylish, SoHo building available for our clients to call home! 55 Mercer Street is a dream space in SoHo that combines luxury living with original charm – the best of New York!
It’s so true that the city can be your gym, but in the winter months it’s much harder to convince yourself to walk those extra blocks or layer up to go for a run. If you are looking for something new to keep you moving and excited, here are some of the city’s best classes and programs!
This past weekend Mark and I attended the Venezuelan American Endowment for the Arts’ annual black tie event! My search for a gown got me to thinking about all of the holiday events coming up, and all of the fabulous formal wear that I (and you!) will need for our holiday, office, cocktail, fundraising and new years eve soirees!
If you’re visiting New York or if you’re not planning to cook for the whole family this year, you might look into dining at one of New York’s incredible restaurants for an effortless and enjoyable Thanksgiving feast . Here are some of the city’s best Thanksgiving dinner spots…
If the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is something you prefer to watch from the comfort of your home while the turkey’s in the oven, I don’t blame you! But consider this fun family event the day before Thanksgiving: Take the kids, or your love, or your friends up to Central Park West and Columbus Avenue (around the Museum of Natural History) to see the balloons for the parade come to life!
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…
New York is a city like no other place on earth! We have had our fare share of storms, literal and metaphorical, and always come out on top. That’s one of many things that makes me so proud to be a New Yorker. This week has been a challenge for us all. In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, many of us lost power and have to stay with friends or in hotels. Our businesses are closed or maybe we can’t get to work. Some people’s homes were flooded and they lost everything.
Coming from a Real Estate perspective, my heart is extra heavy…
A couple of weeks ago I had a few amazing dinners with some incredible people: a couple that Mark and I relocated from London, the advertising director at Manhattan Magazine, and my sweet high school girlfriends celebrating our birthdays together. All three of restaurants were so exceptional in service, and the food was beyond delicious!
Here’s a recap of these great New York spots and the best dishes to try…
When I received the invite from a dear old friend for the New York Acadamy of Art’s “Take Home a Nude” event at NYAA I was beyond excited! Especially because it was in honor of Francesco Clemente who is one of my favorite artists.
I had the pleasure of meeting Greg Solometo, the CEO and Founder of Nannies of New York, recently and was so moved by the story of what sparked him to found Nannies of New York. Even more, remembering my experience interviewing…
I’m looking forward to celebrating the launch of Pink Bow Tie, a new way for men to show their support in the fight against breast cancer, in New York next week! Come out to the Yotel Hotel , or you can show your support by shopping online…
So many of the shoes at Barney’s right now have my attention! From new booties and pumps for the chicest fall looks to high boots to wear every chilly day this…
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…
I spent my Friday afternoon at the top of The Standard Hotel with Tracy Anderson and Christy Turlington (and many of my lovely TAM girlfriends) at the Every Mother Counts lunch event. Addressing an important global issue, Christy Turlington founded Every Mother Counts in 2010 with the mission to make pregnancy and childbirth safe for moms worldwide.
New York mommies are busy, hardworking and amazing, and we all know how precious our pampering time can be! Whether having Vogue-worthy lashes, glowing skin, or fresh highlights is on your list, visit these spots for the best in making a city mommy beautiful.
I cannot tell you how many city Mommys have made the Isabel Marant wedge sneakers a staple to their wardrobe. Here are some favorite Instagram photos of dressing up and down with our favorite Isabel Marant Sneakers!

What happens when you take a historic-rail-yard-turned-public-park and add in a bit of shockingly healthy dishes to eat?
You get Cooking Light’s food festival at the High Line, naturally…
This is a juicy novel from an amazing woman, author Allie Kingsley, who had the smarts to turn her experiences working as a photorapher’s assistant into a fun and entertaining read! Here’s the summary from GoodReads.com…

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).
It’s Fashion’s Night Out in New York! Here’s The {New York} Life’s guide to the evening, what to wear, what to buy and what to do!
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…
Has there ever been a better book for a little girl?! The Super Adventures of Sophie and the City follows Sophie as she travels to different worlds in her daddy’s office building. The book teaches kids about fashion, design, weddings, and the glamorous life inside magazine publishing.
It’s amazing how one new piece – whether art, furniture, a pillow, a curtain – can freshen up the look of a whole room and make your home feel bright! The talented Sonya Chodry created the custom Brigitte Bardot art piece for me, below, and I can’t wait to hang it in our Chelsea home! I’ve also stopped into Sebastian + Barquet (601 west 26th street in Chelsea) a few times to be inspired by their unique designs in gorgeously printed fabrics.
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.
Inspired by all the questions about my fitness wear, I thought I’d share with you some of my favorite pieces to wear to workout, as well as loungewear for casual days at the beach or the movies with my kids.
It’s no secret that the Chelsea neighborhood is one of the great loves of my life. There is nowhere else I’d rather live, and witnessing first-hand the evolution of West Chelsea is exciting and extraordinary. Real Estate Weekly just posted this letter regarding the expansion of the Chelsea Market, and of course I had to share.
Yesterday my friend Sonya Chodry took me to an art class at The Art Barge with artist Linda Capello as our instructor. Linda was really good with me as a beginner and it was amazing to see so much talent there! Linda has a background in fashion, which is why she’s excellent at figure drawing. It was great for the mind too, to get away to such a beautiful space and focus on something new and creative.
I own the same pair and love them!
Art has always fascinated me and living in New York City, we are surrounded by it! My friend Maria Brito is my art buddy – she and I share passion for Brazilian photographers with vivid photography of beaches of Brazil, Vic Munoz of Wasteland, and we both like the pop art of Andy Warhol and others of that era. {Read about Maria Brito} I love the portraits for Great Expectations with Gwyneth Paltrow and Ethan Hawke (drawings with painting over them). My dream would be to have portraits of our Tyler and Sofia done like that one day!
What an unforgettable week! I just finished Detox Week at Tracy Anderson Method’s Water Mill Studio in the Hamptons, during which I was challenged like never before! What an amazing group of motivated, inspiring women I was honored to share the experience with. Here, I’ll share with you a little bit of my Detox Week experience.
Being a Mommy in New York City means you have to be a lot more creative when finding spots for you and your kids to go play for the day. If you’ve been living in New York for a while, you’ve already been to the typical spots, and like us, might appreciate something new and fresh to explore as a family. I’ve put together a list of some unique places for you and your kids to visit and have a day full of fun.
I’m so blessed to have a career and a company that I love being a part of every single day. The agents at Mark David & Company are like family, and I so enjoy the trust they put in both Mark and me to shape their careers. There’s a lot of hard work at MDNY, and also a lot of fun, but most importantly we build relationships: with each other and with each client that walks through our door. Not only do we give our agents the tools and hone their skills to help clients find just the right home, but we instill in them the value of continuing those relationships past the clients’ moving-day, and the stories our agents have to tell are beyond inspiring.
Here’s a little look into the {real estate} life!
Despite all of the beaches close by, or the summer vacations you may have planned, there are some days you just can’t get out of the city. Find relief from the heat – and from the daily grind – at some of New York’s best hotel rooftop pools! I’ve put together a list of the hottest cooling-off spots in the city, for your swimming pleasure!
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!
Last week, my friend Sonya and our family decided to venture from our Southhamtpon homes to the beaches of Montauk with the kids. After dancing at the Tracy Anderson Watermill studio we took a drive of about 45 minutes to have lunch at Navy Beach Restaurant and had a delicious meal there with our kids.
One of our agents at Mark David & Company is starting a new adventure in life and I can’t wait to see the result! Buena Batiste, along with her sister Kenniece Webber, have written a smart and fun children’s book called The Chicken and The Egg.
The characters in The Chicken and The Egg debate which one should go first by pleading not their own, but each other’s cases.
We are already enjoying our holiday in the Hamptons, but no matter what you’re doing this week, we hope it’s full of great summer memories for your whole family! Here are some photos of what we’ve been up to since we arrived here. One of my favorite things so far has been our relaxing visit to Wölffer Estate Vineyard.
Mark and I were fortunate to be invited to Manhattan Magazine’s Six Degrees Dinner Series in June. The intimate dinner party was hosted by the magazine’s Senior Vice President and Group Publisher, Matt Caroll, at Midtown’s newest restaurant Brasserie Pushkin, celebrating the June edition of MANHATTAN’s monthly Six Degrees dinner series.
Yesterday I stopped by the West Chelsea home of my client-turned-friend Sandra Alvim, an astrologer, writer, and beauty expert. Her book, Yes I’m 58, is evidence of the healthy and fit lifestyle that Sandra lives. And, as she told me while we chatted, West Chelsea is the perfect neighborhood for such a lifestyle.
What a weekend! Summer is in full swing and now every weekend feels like a mini-vacation. We spent last weekend in the Hamptons; splashing in the pool, visiting with friends, celebrating a birthday, and of course I made a stop at Tracy Anderson’s Water Mill location for a dance class.
Besides being really passionate for real estate, another one of my big loves in life is fashion. This quote by Gianni Versace sums it up: “Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live.” One of my absolute favorite designers is Isabel Marant, largely in part because her line is both fashionable and practical.
A favorite lunch spot for sparking creativity, Imperial No. 9 is settled just off the lobby of the dreamy Mondrian SoHo hotel at 9 Crosby Street. I took my creative team there yesterday for a little Friday lunch and some brainstorming. Known for bringing sustainable seafood to downtown New York, and for its greenhouse-and-chandalier atmosphere, the restaurant was the perfect place to escape the heat (and then watch the rain!).
The July issue of Manhattan Magazine will be hitting the stands in the next few days, but I wanted you all to be the first to see our new ad!
I met Maria Brito three years ago when she was first launching her “Lifestyling” business to help people become more knowledgeable on buying art for their homes, as well as creating a lifestyle in their home that they couldn’t achieve on their own. Maria is the quintessential Chelsea woman: creative, driven, dedicated to improving the happiness of others, a wonderful mommy, and extraordinarily cultured with impeccable taste.
This listing is just stunning, and has so much character! Owned and styled by a lifestyle, personalties and real estate editor, this place is a realtor – and a New Yorker’s – dream. 16 Mercer St, an Artist Loft in the Historic 1863 SoHo loft building, was originally built in 1863 to house Union troops. On a cobblestone street with vintage lighting, this historic structure is one of the last remaining SoHo gems.
It is no secret that I love hats. Love, love, love. And there is no better time to add to your assortment of hats than now. The perfect easy summer accessory, a guard against too much sun on your face, and, of course, hats give you that little boost in sass. (Carly Simon, anyone?)
Here’s my take on the best hat trends this summer!
Mercer Kitchen is a classic Soho staple where you can always count on favorites like steamed shrimp salad with avocado, mushrooms, tomato, and champagne vinaigrette, and I love the roasted chicken with french beans, carrots and mashed potatoes.
There’s a small street level cafe and then a larger dining room one floor below; each room is diverse but all are shadowy and warm, with original brick and cozy booths. The crown jewel is the open kitchen.

If you’re a Pinner, a shopper, or a style blog reader, you’ve surely noticed that neons are everywhere this year! Chic summer pants, hot bags, and neon jewelry are everywhere. But how about neons for kids? I love these ideas for neon modern home decor in your kids rooms, or neon party themes for a bright and playful summer birthday.

The most colorful 5K you’ve ever seen is coming to New York! The Color Run will be painting the town, and you, on August 25th and 26th. The only rule at The Color Run is that you pass the start line in a clean white tshirt and cross the finish line covered head to toe in color.

If perfection could be defined by apartments, this penthouse would be the definition. Cathedral high ceilings, stunning river-views, a terrace that can fit tables, chairs, guests, and an evening dinner under the stars, and immaculate finishes that put a smile on your face. The chef’s kitchen includes Caesar-stone counter-tops, a Viking Stove, and Leiber Refridgerator. You can see gorgeous city views from your very own soaking tub. The layout allows for more than ample space to entertain and live in.
I hope you’re all back into the swing of things after the long weekend! We spent Memorial Day relaxing in the Hamptons. As simple as some time with friends at the pool…
Speaking of Summer, nothing says summer in New York like rooftop drinks at Hôtel Americano in Chelsea. They also have a fabulous brunch. One spot with several options: The Grill at La Piscine…
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!
Hello! Thank you for visiting my new website! I’m excited to share with you my favorite things about life in New York, from the properties to the food, keeping fit to fun…
