WHAT ANDREW CARMELLINI CAN\u2019T LIVE WITHOUT<\/strong>
The Strategist at New York magazine<\/a> asked Locanda Verde (and lots more) chef Andrew Carmellini what he can\u2019t live without, and it includes oregano on a branch, black T-shirts and a synthesizer. This is his Spotlight feature<\/a> from 2024, when the restaurant turned 15.<\/p>\n

7 PLATT IS NEAR COMPLETION<\/strong>
Yimby has an update<\/a> on the construction of 7 Platt (at John Street), a 464-foot-tall mixed-use building in Fidi. That is my picture from May 2024!!

HEDGE FUNDER SELLING FOR $16 MILLION<\/strong>
Crain\u2019s has a story<\/a> that Hedge fund billionaire Tom Hill is selling his 4400-square-foot condo in River Lofts, aka 92 Laight \/ 424 Washington, for $16 million and included this tidbit: \u201cThe Tribeca unit comes to market as the luxury market is booming. Between Dec. 1 and Dec. 7, buyers signed contracts for 29 condos, co-ops and townhouses priced for $4 million or more in Manhattan, 10 more deals than in the previous week, according to data from Olshan Realty. The median asking price for last week\u2019s deals was $6.5 million, the firm said.\u201d<\/p>\n

BLAST FROM THE PAST: GORSART CLOTHES<\/strong>
Not sure how, but I came across this Times story<\/a> from 2001, when Gorsart Clothes, which ones had 30 tailors working there, closed its doors on Murray and Broadway. I wanted to store it here for reference. From The Times: \u201cIt was a place for Wall Street executives to go for three-piece suits. Or for F.B.I. agents to have jackets tailored with shoulder holsters in mind. For a short time, it even sold women\u2019s clothing. Beginning in 1921, Gorsart Clothes was a uniform store for the suit-wearing legions of Manhattan\u2019s financial district. The store, which was tucked into a second-floor loft space on Murray Street between Broadway and Church Street, quietly maintained a steady stream of male customers like bankers, lawyers and judges who wanted a certain level of personalized service, and communicated with them only by direct mail and word of mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WHAT ANDREW CARMELLINI CAN\u2019T LIVE WITHOUTThe Strategist at New York magazine asked Locanda Verde (and lots more) chef…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":494614,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-494613","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-new-york","10":"tag-new-york-city","11":"tag-newyork","12":"tag-newyorkcity","13":"tag-ny","14":"tag-nyc","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-united-states-of-america","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115843836567455157","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=494613"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494613\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/494614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=494613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=494613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=494613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
