Three properties sold for over $30 million in March, and Harvey Weinstein‘s West Village townhouse sold for nearly $26 million.

Out of this world.

The Neighbors are Renovating. The End Date Is Never.

For a New York apartment to be successfully updated, the neighbors must suffer.

We would be looking at a double bed in a dorm room.

The new restaurant in the Ace Hotel focuses on big flavors, from salty to sweet.

As convenient.

Spare nails, a Fendi tote and candy lips (it’s the sugar).

Cute bag.

How Majora Carter, South Bronx Booster, Spends Her Sundays

Ms. Carter, who lives in Hunts Point, stays in her neighborhood for church, cycling class and coffee shop hang time.

I still don't like the South Bronx.  I know it is different than it was when grandmother Dean lived there in 1908.  I would pass through on the way to City Island.
I remember the odor of bug killer in cheap quarters.

Three bottles of Rosso di Montalcino, delicious sangiovese wines from Tuscany, each illustrate a different notion of ripeness.

I always want to drink more when the wine is good.
I try hard not to start.
