The Montage

The Montage closed on their first penthouse last week! The final price, $450,000 for a unit over 2,000 square feet in size. That makes 148 sales with 6 more in escrow. The Montage is on fire!

Z-Pie

Z-Pie, located on West Street inside West Street Market is now open! If homemade pot pies sound tempting to you, then head on down to Z-pie and trythem out. Z-Pie's story extends beyond simply making pot pies though, there's an underlying cause and benefit powering this business. Z-Pie will help aged-out foster children become accustomed with a workplace environment and gain work experience, while other aspects of the Black Bear Project provide housing and direction for aged-out foster kids.

    The folks at Midtown Eats can't be thrilled about a gourmet burger shop. Nor am I. I was hoping for a traditional falafel shop like the ones found throughout the streets which make up the NYU campus.

    OOH NOO. No falafel? Guess not too many NYU grads made it to Midtown. How can any redeveloping trashy neighborhood survive without a Cinci style restaurant like Skyline Chili (Scilini's to the locals with class)?

    Your sarcasm has not gone undetected Pink. FYI Mamoun's Falafel is not to be fvcked with! And the price point suits our community, ie, it's inexpensive! http://www.yelp.com/biz/mamouns-falafel-new-york-2

    That is a pretty sweet deal on a penthouse!

    Agreed Matthew! If I wasn't upside-down in all of my property investments I would jump on that! lol . . . maybe the next lifetime.
