Instead of walking to Newtown Creek to catch dinner with a condom, wouldn't it be nice to hop into the car and glide down to the street in a private elevator? Glauco Lolli-Ghetti, a Manhattan real estate developer, lives this dream from the 11th floor of his $7 million Chelsea condo. “This is about as close to a suburban home that you can achieve in an urban area like New York,” Lolli-Ghetti tells the Times. Does anyone remember that cool car elevator that the Cleavers had in their glass-bound condo on Leave It To Beaver? more ›

Waaaay back in 2005 East Villagers and New Yorkers alike were horrified to learn that not only were Catherine and Alistair Economakis planning to evict all the tenants in their apartment building at 47 East Third Street in order to create an 11,575 square foot mansion, but that they got away with it, too for a mere $75,000. Fast-forward six years and it is happening again. But this time it is in the district of City Council Speaker and Mayoral hopeful Christine Quinn, so naturally SOMETHING MUST BE DONE. more ›

A New Jersey teenager who seriously injured his leg after jumping down to the street from a fence around High Line is suing the city for $2.5 million, claiming that he was locked in the park and had no choice. "I crushed my knee, rupturing my ACL, and hurt my back. It really messed me up," 18-year-old Kirk Rasnick told the Daily News. Rasnick claims that the injuries he sustained on June 13 have prevented him from playing football during his senior year at Dickinson High School in Jersey City, and "you can't put a price on that." Except in this case: the price is $2.5 million, which works out to be around $700K per missed pep rally. more ›

At the beginning of the year statistics came out that showed New York has a 40 percent abortion rate, statistics which many (especially the clergy) were not happy to see. Bus ads regarding the stats were put up, people doubted and backed up the numbers, a racially charged billboard was put up in SoHo (and then taken down for "safety") and then the whole issue kind of went away for a bit. Until now. At the request of Chiaroscuro Foundation, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has broken down their 2009 abortion statistics by zip code, and the results may surprise you. more ›

Prompted by the cycling death of Marilyn Dershowitz, who was killed last month on West 29th Street in a below-ground corridor by a 7-ton truck, the Department of Transportation is proposing a system of bike lanes in Chelsea that would run east to west on 29th and 30th streets. Members of CB 4 asked the agency for a "safe bike route west of Eighth Avenue," but the DOT specifically wanted to use West 29th and 30th streets, DNAinfo reports. CB 4's transportation co-chair says, "The safety of the bicyclists is our primary concern." more ›

It's tough living right next to the crime-free, world-renowned slice of greenspace known as the High Line. So says a few grumpy Chelsea residents whose apartments abut the walkway, and thus the thousands of gawkers every day that traipse along, snapping photos every 10 feet. "It's absolutely horrible!" one woman tells the Post, presumably without a trace of irony given that she lives within walking distance of a brand-new $115 million park. "People take pictures and wave at you when you're alone in your home. We have to keep shades up all the time. It's voyeuristic, and there's zero privacy." Surely this must be the only place on the quaint island of Manhattan where such squalid living conditions exist. more ›

Police were able to arrest a man who broke into a Chelsea apartment in 2009 because he took a swig of orange juice.

There are some things, when you move to New York, that you give up hope for: silence, dignity, and indoor pools, to name a few. But not everyone has! Some people, very rich people with names like Evelyn McMurray Van-Zeller, have been making at least one of those dreams a reality, what with the 30-foot pool in the middle of her Chelsea living room. And it too can be yours, for the small price of $10.955 million. more ›

There's stepping, junk-grabbing, and surreal little inflatables on the High Line, but the idyllic stretch of grass in the sky lacks an essential New York City element: crime. According to the Times, there has not been a single report of a serious crime on the High Line since its opening. The Parks Enforcement Patrol have written 362 summonses for "quality-of-life infractions" such as having dogs or bicycles, and the most common is for drinking. Since it's almost impossible to get a smoking ticket on the High Line, can we replace smoking infractions with tickets for excessive PDA? more ›
