Huge Chilewich Sample Sale in Midtown, this Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday ONLY
There are always a dozen or so first-rate New York sample sales going on at any given moment in this town; the only real challenge to getting designer goods–usually clothing, but also accessories and such–at ridiculously low prices is keeping on top of all the offerings, and finding the time to wait on the often […]
New Upper East Side Fairway Supermarket on 86th Street
We cruised through the new Fairway Market grocery store the other night, and it is a beautiful sight to behold in Upper East Side Manhattan on 86th Street.
Entertaining at Home: Food, Wine, Friends and Family

A Private Pool in Manhattan: Private Swimming Pools are a Surprisingly Rare Luxury
They are marketed prominently by many of New York City’s newest breed of rental and condo towers, and with good reason: swimming pools in residential buildings remain an exceptionally rare luxury, especially in Manhattan.

East River Esplanade: Stunning New York Waterfront Views
The East River Esplanade–or, check that: the first two-block waterfront stretch of the $165.9 million East River Esplanade–was officially opened last week (and unofficially a couple of weeks before that), and it is, in a word, fantastic.

IKEA Hacks: The Best & Most Creative Designs
Ah, IKEA. Who among us hasn't succumbed to its temptations? Those lovely, clean, and contemporary designs?

Don't get us wrong, we love IKEA, for all of those reasons and more, but sometimes we get their […]
Five of the Best Home Design and Architecture Blogs
We spend waaaaaay too many hours on the internet each week poring over top design and architecture blogs, imagining what our home might look like if we had unlimited time, money, and energy, as well as a willingness to get rid of all the stuff we already own, and love. Anyway, here are a few […]
