The S.O. and I stayed at the NY Standard over New Years during their "soft launch" (yes, I live in Manhattan, but it was fun to be one of the first guests and check out the design)and I can attest...

Hi-I recognize this spot; it is actually a cigar bar, not a restaurant. I imagine there are people interested in sitting outside for a smoke for a few minutes.

You could make some extra space around the bed by exchanging the bedside tables for reading lights mounted on the wall above the headboard and perhaps a shelf running between them.

I was having breakfast with my dad in his rental condo near the UN. He was visiting me in NYC for the first time since I had moved here years before. My mother had passed away and it was a long tim...

Another example of why AT DC needs its own site - this topic is ages old to NYC people...

I don't know why all the negativity. FSBO postings have been on AT for a couple of years. They are not supposed to be "aspirational" nor necessarily examples of good design. They are available to e...

I just had a new white porcelain kitchen sink installed, and the guys left little globs of clear acrylic adhesive on the sink and countertop. Does anyone know how to remove this stuff without scrat...

Hi- Love the idea, but more details, please! what kind of lighting fixture did you use? (long-tubed undercounter types or something with several little lights scattered around)? Is it hard wired or...

One thought - Maybe it doesn't bother anyone else, but the appliances all have "IKEA" logos on them in visible places.

I recently sold my sofa on CL to a funny, wacky young woman who then added me to her general email list (she is an actress/performer). Just this week I received an email that she was on "This Ameri...

For even more sun protection, I have often seen "shade sails" (large triangular pieces) made with Sunbrella material available on overstock.com for very affordable prices. I think for about $50...

Hey NYC'ers - there are two high-end kitchens on auction for HUGE savings on the "Built it Green" website. They include Bulthaup cabinets, Gaggennau ovens/range and a Bosch dishwasher all for under...

Hi - I used Chelsea Movers to move from Murray Hill to -what do you know- Chelsea. They were great and the best deal compared to Moishe's and a couple of others. They were on time, didn't break any...
