Home is Where?

 
The attitude of a New Yorker toward New York City, like the city itself, evolves over time.
When I first moved to the city in the nineties, I was a hungry young artist, eager to add my name to the endless list of bohemian aspirants who have come to New York to work on their dreams.

425 Fifth Avenue: Property of the Day

There’s something to be said about a building that marries a perfect location and an amazing architectural design. Such is the case at 425 Fifth Avenue, which is located in the heart of Murray Hill, just a stone’s throw from Bryant Park and the New York Public Library and designed by postmodern architect Michael Graves. 425 Fifth Avenue, which adds some serious height to the Midtown skyline, stands at a towering 617 feet, making it the 73rd tallest building in New York City.
425 Fifth Avenue has 173 luxury condos, 16 …
