Need a break from the rigors of the contemporary New York real estate market? Once again, we have just the thing to ease your jangled nerves – a look at what real estate was like during assorted golden ages of our city’s glorious past.
How would you like to live in a three-room bungalow on a roof garden, on the west side of midtown Manhattan? But wait – the place has bath, steam, and hot water, and it’s partly furnished. And not only that – it’s also 1923, which is the …
The cautious word about town is that the New York City real estate market may be revitalized. “No, it’s not like the wild days of 2007,” admits Katherine Dykstra of the New York Post, “when dozens of new-construction buildings dotted much of the city.” And it cannot be denied that many of the buildings resulting from that boom remain largely vacant. But available units are now beginning to sell, and new development, stagnant for the last few years, seems to be swinging back into action.

It is along about four in the morning, and The Brain is walking me up and down Broadway in front of Mindy’s restaurant. The Brain is talking with great importance about something, but I wish to confess I am only somewhat listening, although The Brain believes he has my full scope, on account of I am nodding my head most pleasantly. Truthfully I want no truck at the moment with walking up and down Broadway in front of Mindy’s, as I am newly loaded with lettuce and eager for some …
Every so often, we receive breaking news of a so-called “new New York City neighborhood.” In recent decades, we’ve been asked to add TriBeCa (the “triangle below Canal Street”), NoHo (“north of Houston Street,” modeled on the forty-year-old designation of SoHo, “south of Houston Street”), and even DUMBO (“down under the Manhattan Bridge overpass,” believe it or not) to our local lexicons. Even more recently, there have been attempts to brand NoLita (“north of Little Italy”), CanDo (“Canal Street downtown”), and BoHo (“Bowery south of Houston Street,” whose nickname at …
It was another snow day here in New York City, and I don’t know if you noticed but the day was a perfect for heading to New York public parks for some fun in the snow. Minus the transit troubles, the city was beautiful. Just check out my friend Gillian’s view outside her balcony on East 89th Street, a tree line shot right to Central Park:
If you are a new comer to New York, or you are planning to buy a new condo in the area, here are some tips …
Given the wintry mixes with which our city has been battered in recent weeks, it seems a good time to discuss heat, both literal and figurative.
First: Is there any area of New York that is not at least occasionally referred to as one of “New York’s hottest neighborhoods?” Google that phrase, and among copious results you’ll be told that the city’s hottest include Alphabet City, Astoria, Allerton, Arden Heights, and Annadale — and that’s just the As. Some neighborhoods, like Greenwich Village, Soho, and Tribeca, have been referred to as “one …
Sales in Manhattan are on the rise according to a recent Wall Street Journal article by Shelly Banjo. Ms. Banjo reports that condo prices have increased in the month of August a whole 1.8% from the month of July. Let’s hope for the sake our businesses and the economy that sales keep increasing as the months go on. It is nice to no longer hear about the double-dip that everyone was planning on. Let’s not get to excited, obviously we are still no where near what we were before the …
The New York Times recently reported that twenty-somethings moving to New York for the first few years are doing everything they can do to survive in this expensive city during this horrible economic slump. Being a twenty-something myself, going on my fourth year in the big apple, I understand all these baby New Yorker woes.
Living in a city where you have to start out residing in a windowless box, sleeping on a twin bed with your feet hanging off one end is not the ideal situation for any young adult …
