After months of rumors, H&H Bagels' West Side location has been closed. Not that H&H wanted to—the Daily News reports, "A New York City Marshal has moved to take possession of the fabled bagel maker from its last existing site on W. 46th." more ›

The yuppie goyim are TAKING OVER Crown Heights, turning the once idyllic neighborhood into a wicked G-dless hellhole known among interlopers as "ProCro," a veritable Sodom where they party half-naked on rooftops and corrupt the area youth! So says one local landlord, who has fired off an open letter begging fellow property owners not to rent to these licentious libertines. In a desperate missive titled "Take Back Our Neighborhood," the anonymous landlord writes: more ›

It's 2009 again. Because of potential difficulty with finding a tenant for Tower 3 at the redeveloped World Trade Center, developer Larry Silverstein may cut the 80-story skyscraper by 73 stories and transform is into a seven-story structure instead. more ›

You know how the city pushed the Hudson Yards mega-development plan, saying it would be good because it would, besides creating retail, commercial and residential space, bring in tons of construction jobs? Well, now it turns out that Related, the development company who is building it all (including a 51-story skyscraper), has hired a huge California firm as the main contractor. As the Post reports from a Crain's article, "An outfit the size of Tutor Perini doesn’t need to subcontract work to third parties because it owns companies that can perform tasks such as concrete placement and electrical work, while local developers have to outsource the business." more ›

Jealous of neighbors who get to live on streets called Sutton Place and Beekman Place, the residents of the Southgate co-op on 52nd Street would like to class up their block's name. According to the NY Times, some shareholders at the co-op—which stands between Sutton Place South at 53rd street and Beekman Place on 51st—want to ditch the number 52 and rename their block something a bit more elegant. Rich people! more ›

When Huguette Clark died at the age of 104 last year, all eyes were on her estate, and specifically her massive 5th Avenue apartments that have long been shrouded in mystery. Curbed now points to the 17,000 square foot mansion's floor plans, which the Real Deal got a hold of recently. The space is separated into three apartments, but the reclusive Clark was the only inhabitant of all three... unless you count her dolls. That's right, there was a creepy doll collection, which the cleaning staff (the only people allowed inside the hospitalized heiress's digs) attended to. Appraiser and real estate broker Barbara Fox declared, "There were dolls everywhere"—she is one of the only realtors allowed inside of the space, which the site offers a little history on: more ›

Did you know that the Tenenbaum family summered in the Bronx? Their home on Eagle's Island was, in real life, at 21 Tier Street on City Island. That's right, just about 12 miles from their home on 339 Convent Avenue is where little Chazzy got that BB lodged in between his knuckles. more ›

If you're a billionaire who bought your 22-year-old daughter an $88 million "weekend" apartment on Central Park West, it makes sense to buy her security detail an $8.35 million apartment in the same building. If you're Dmitry Rybolovlev, that is. more ›

Today, the NY Times delved into the world of a mystical rabbi, his celebrity followers, high-power publicists, and, not least of all, the rabbi's charity's missing millions as it reported on Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto: "The rabbi’s close followers are disclosing what they say is the source of many of his troubles. They said they told federal investigators that the rabbi had been the victim of a bizarre embezzlement and extortion plot that was carried out by two former members of his inner circle, who stole his congregation’s money and tried to frame him." more ›

The lavish 15 Central Park West apartment that former Citigroup chairman Sanford Weill put on the market for $88 million—with proceeds going to charity—was purchased by Russian fertilizer billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev. And now it seems that the four-bedroom, 6,437-square foot apartment is for his 22-year-old daughter. more ›

Skincare and fitness enthusiast Christie Brinkley apparently owes the IRS $531,720, as the agency recently placed a lien for the same amount on Brinkley's $30 million home in Bridgehampton. "Financially, her accounts are in good shape. This must be some kind of accounting screw up," a source close to Brinkley tells the Post. We've all been there: Whoops! We forgot to pay $500K in taxes, and we haven't watered our ficus in weeks. more ›

Well, this could be a game changer for one developing neighborhood! Though a deal isn't finalized yet, the Wall Street Journal today reports that, after almost 100 years as a stand-alone store on the Lower East Side, appetizing legend Russ & Daughters may soon open a second location in the neighborhood north of Madison Square that developers keep insisting we call "NoMad." First that area gets Eataly (and the original Shake Shack), now this? more ›

Jimmy McMillan may have captured the hearts and minds of New Yorkers with his "Rent Is Too Damn High" platform during last year's gubernatorial election, but his rent for a one-bedroom in the East Village is actually a Damn Sweet $872/month, thanks to rent stabilization. Now, the colorful candidate may be evicted, because his landlord wants to make the rent DAMN HIGH. more ›

Yesterday the Occupy Wall Street protesters held mass demonstrations against America's outrageously inequitable wealth distribution and highly dysfunctional banking system. In response to the protests, Wall Street firms immediately implemented strict new trading regulations, and wealthiest 1% voluntarily agreed to substantial tax increases! But it seems that some people still didn't get the message, because over in the West Village, the CEO of a private investment firm dropped $17.5 million on an apartment he's only going to use occasionally—presumably for wild, drug-fueled orgies we wouldn't attend even if he got down on his fat knees and begged us. more ›

Sanford Weill, the former chairman of Citigroup, bought a 6,437-square foot apartment at ultra-luxury building 15 Central Park West for over $43 million in 2007. Now, he's selling the full-floor home, which has sweeping views of the park, for $88 million. He tells the Wall Street Journal that he and his wife "don't need as big an apartment as we did. We are downsizing a little bit." Also, right now is "a pretty good time" for the 1% "to be quiet"—and he's going to donate the proceeds of the apartment sale to charity. more ›

Recently, we took a look inside of some Brooklyn apartments circa 1978—all of which made us envious (and curious about who lived in our apartment back in the day). Now, we're making it all worse by taking a look at the outdoor spaces these Brooklyn residents had—click through for 14 photos of courtyards, backyards, porches, and lawns. At least they're all in black and white? more ›

Caffe Vivaldi on Jones Street is a throwback to a retro era in New York dining—the Italian-leaning restaurant serves live jazz with its ravioli, and has played host to a myriad of artistic Village boho types over the past 30 years. It looks like it has been and will be around forever, but it won't be, if new landlord Steve Croman gets what he wants—unless the restaurant fights its way back. more ›

You know what Manhattan needs? More commercial office space! Thankfully, Mayor Bloomberg and some big shot developers are committed to building a 51 story tower on West 30th Street, creating 1.7 million square feet of new commercial office space. Today they announced that they've already locked in the first tenant: Coach, Inc., which will occupy the lower third of the building. It'll be so tall you'll be able to see it from your office in Jersey City! Here's what's happening: more ›
