The Deal & The Real Estate are different. LINK Henderson, Nevada. It's a thing, y'all. A tax-haven, it’s warm, in a growing pocket near Las Vegas, close to the airport. This development is so good. LINK Online search traffic for Homebuilders. LINK Las Vegas but in Hudson Yards? I endorse. LINK Great thread on mortgage apps, sales, & rate impact on buyer/seller behavior. Data-driven always. LINK A very cool link: Customizable graph to see permits issued per year based on location. “What we have here in NYC is a failure to permit”. LINK |

Greenpoint’s evolution over the years. A thread in images. LINK Palm Springs Modernism tour. Top down. Sun shining. Then you hit Melvyn's for a night capper. LINK No Hudson Yards nominees? I spy an M.Kahler Home of the Year building. LINK 1940's NYC colorized. LINK An exhibit for Frank Gehry Fish Sculptures… I am a Pisces after all. LINK Always a dotted line to The Streets. LINK Long lunches are on the horizon. LINK Happy Belated Birthday, Django. LINK |

"EVERYONE NEEDS A MIDTOWN SPOT" |
|
WHERE: Midtown, Manhattan, Park Avenue, between 53rd and 54th. Casa Lever sits on the ground floor of the seminal international-style skyscraper, Lever House, of which the AIA Guide to New York City says, “This is where the glass curtain wall began.” WHAT: Well-designed, iconic, AIA, Milanese Italian, elevated, art, historic, refined but not stuffy, slick/sexy bar, good food & serene scene. Even the carpet was spot on. SIT SCORE: 8.4/10 |
|
- Why Here: Everyone needs a Midtown spot. Power lunch/post-work or pre-event dinner. It's mod y'all. The curved walls inch towards the molded ceiling’s hexagonal patterns with splashes of colorful blue chip art. You sit in the bar area and they're attentive. Discerning. Details are dialed. Or, you sit in a retro, nightclub-style black leather–lined alcove booths and feel like you run the city. The marble counter is mesmerizing. In better weather, the outdoor patio with big white umbrellas, is the quintessential Midtown al fresco moment.
- Design: Modern with mid-century odes. Think iconic. Big substantive art, warm fabrics, curves, marbles, solid woods, and finishes with soft lighting.
- Longevity of Sit: 2-4+ hour dinner or a quick drink but you won't want to leave.
- What You'll Hear: Deals, Air Rights, IPOs, Midtown things but also great music.
- What Could Happen Next?: Have a nightcap at Monkey Bar, hit a show, preferably Hadestown, or saunter over to Cartier and try on one of these.
*Side Note: It was raining when I left, so they offered me a custom Casa Lever umbrella. Not only is the umbrella cool, big, red, chrome handle, but this, is the attention to detail and service that cements an incredible experience. Reference: "A Grace Note". |
