I wasn't happy with the doorway being so close to the future stairway, it looked awkward. The entrance to "the study" (or "the TV room") should be centered between […]

It’s Better To Have Loft And Lost Than Never To Have Loft At All
No, the room isn't leaning, just the camera. We can't all be a Brownstoner renoblogger. When I bought my "Junior 1 Bedroom" apartment, one of the more interesting aspects of it was the "Junior Bedroom". As you can see, the walls don't reach the ceiling, and the space inside barely fits a bed. Since the […]

An Open Letter: Brooklyn Heights Residents
Dear Brooklyn Heights Residents, You don't know me, but I moved into your lovely neighborhood some months ago. I hope it isn't too much trouble, but can you please stop eating at Noodle Pudding and Henry's End so much? I have heard a great deal, all of it good, about these restaurants, and I would […]
The Lameness of Montague Street Garners Attention
Via Curbed, the NY Observer asks "Montague Street R.I.P.?": If not for the iconic promenade overlooking the East River at Montague Street’s westernmost end, the average visitor strolling past Chipotle, Banana Republic, Häagen-Dazs, Nine West and Starbucks wouldn’t know these hallowed Heights from, say, Shaker Heights, Ohio. … Even on the relatively warm Saturday night […]
