Visiting Jerome in New York

By | Homes and Interiors, Travel | 2 Comments

 We were so happy we had time to spend with Jerome!  And I made sure we visited his new flat which he is renting in the meantime he is looking for his permanent flat. On one side of the building Jerome told me that they have outdoor movies for the residents

Before throwing your garbage you have to push some buttons so it goes to the right chute

West Side Highway

By | Real Estate, Travel | No Comments

Driving down from New Jersey back to Manhattan, our driver passed the West Side Highway and I am glad I was able to capture some interesting buildings.  It was a nice drive seeing all these structures.  I later on told Jerome about it and I asked his help to tell me what buildings they were

An apartment complex on Riverside Boulevard in the Upper West Side that Donald Trump and a few others developed for Luxury Condo sales and rentals

100 11th Avenue (a luxury apartment building designed by French starchitect, Jean Novel) on the left and the IAC headquarters on the right (designed by another starchitect, Frank Gehry).

The Standard Hotel in the Meatpacking district. It’s notorious because of the big and very transparent windows that have provided many free peep shows to any passerby.

The James Hotel in Soho.  It has a nice rooftop bar

The Perry Street Towers designed by Starchitect, Richard Meier.  Jean Georges Vongerichten, Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman all have units here.  It also houses Jean Georges’ restaurant- Perry Street
