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 [email_link]

We received news from the two lovely sisters Faith and Ana that Ken’s new branch in Bryant Park was opening!!! That was why we went to Bryant Park 🙂 We were happy to be in New York at that time and glad to send good wishes Store front The guy behind Royce USA, Ken Romaniszyn! We were so glad to bump into him there! I was really hoping he would be there so I could take his photo 🙂 Pretty Store manager, Marica Lucia Santiago, who is Filipina! New to me 🙂 And right beside the Royce store is Lady M! So we walked next door Here he is again! Ken started out as an investor in Lady M and eventually now is in full control.
