23 Park Avenue on the corner of East 35th Street in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City was built in 1888-92 and was designed in the Italian Renaissance revival style by McKim, Mead & White, with Stanford White as the partner-in-charge. The town house was constructed as the residence of James Hampden Robb, a retired businessman and civic leader, and his wife Cornelia Van Rensselaer Robb. In 1923 it was bought by the Advertising Club to be its clubhouse, and was converted to apartments in 1977. The building was designated a NYC landmark in 1979

R41 I’ve never understood how someone would pay millions to live in that buildings. It’s literally at the mouth of the Holland Tunnel spewing pollution, cars, noise, combined with huge traffic jams of cars trying to get into the tunnel. Why that area - specifically on Hudson and around the tunnel -has so many super expensive apartments makes no sense. Give me the West Village any day - especially if I’m paying $15 million.
| by Ruth Madoff: Living on $1.9 M in Connecticut | reply 42 | 09/18/2019 |
Again, I've only visited New York about 4 or 5 times, R42. I've never been a resident so all of this speculation. In fact, I've never visited SoHo, the West Village and Tribeca.
I noticed that Meryl Streep's former apartment at 92 Laight Street is quite close to Jon Stewart's old apartment at 161 Hudson Street. My guess is that this part of town appeals to celebrities because it's out of the way and doesn't attract many tourists. I can't imagine a tourist spending much time wandering around this neighborhood unless he is obsessed with early 20th century commercial architecture. There don't seem to be many people walking on the sidewalk in this part of town if you look at Google street view. And yet SoHo and the West Village aren't that far away. The latter two have art galleries, restaurants, bars and shops and probably attract a lot more out of town tourists and the bridge and tunnel crowd. I remember Alec Baldwin jokingly complaining that when he moved to the West Village, he would hear people who had one too many drinks arguing late at night, ie. a much busier nightlife.
I agree that much of the West Village is more charming and built to a more human scale than the big hulking warehouses and commercial buildings in Tribeca.
I really wonder what Jon Stewart's life was like when he lived on Hudson Street. I'm sure much of his day was taken up with work but when he had time off, would he go for walks in his immediate neighbourhood? Or would he spend a lot of time hiring cars and getting dropped off exactly where he wanted to go because he's a celebrity and would get hassled too much if he went for a walk. I wonder if the immediate neighborhood has everything a person needs, eg. grocery stores, or if all that stuff has to be picked up or ordered in from further away. I wonder if his wife would do the shopping or if they had a cook or assistants to take care of that.
I can understand celebrities preferring to live in big buildings with many apartments because of the better security. If you're a celebrity living in a townhouse in the West Village, any crazy obsessed fan who figures out your address can walk up to your front door and knock, or wait around your house until you show up.
| by Ruth Madoff: Living on $1.9 M in Connecticut | reply 43 | 09/18/2019 |
Good point R43. It is a relatively tourist free area. Also not a lot of services or as many restaurants - but I guess they get driven there and have everything delivered.
The other reason is the apartments in TriBeCa tend to be uniformly large lofts. So everyone is homogenously wealthy. Unlike the Village where there are still some cheap(er) studios in old walk ups. And the nightlife does attest crowds - somTribeca is good for avoiding both.

A poster from the original thread, now subscription-only, mentioned there must be a long line for the Rockefeller Center observation deck. You actually go to the website to pre-pay and reserve a specific time. Then just show up at that time and, from the throng standing outside the entrance on 50th, struggle to hear which time is being let inside now. They scan the QR code in your email on your phone. There are three levels with stairs, after you go up in the elevator. The uppermost deck is the best for photos. I had been to NYC a few times before I did this, but I would have been happy to have done this on my first visit, I think. I thought it was worth the money.

[quote]I enjoyed the tv show White Collar - which really showed off New York City. Anybody know where June's house was?
I didn't watch "White Collar" but Imdb says that the filming location for June Ellington's manor was 351 Riverside Drive, which is the Morris Schinasi House at 107th Street. It was built in 1907.
| by Ruth Madoff: Living on $1.9 M in Connecticut | reply 68 | 09/28/2019 |
The Schinasi House is another example of the skyrocketing cost of Manhattan real estate. It was bought by Columbia law professor Hans Smit in 1979 for $325,000 and sold in 2013 for $14 million.
I assume the person in the linked article knows what she's talking about. Matt Bomer's character, Neal Caffrey, moves into the attic apartment of June's mansion. The apartment is a studio set. The terrace of Neal's apartment was shot at 5 Tudor City Place for the pilot but was recreated in studio in a much smaller version for later episodes.

Brooklyn Heights Promenade
This pedestrian walkway offers spectacular views of Downtown Manhattan, the East River and the Brooklyn Bridge. It’s a favorite destination for joggers, walkers and Rollerbladers, but it also offers a quiet atmosphere for those who prefer to just sit, chat and enjoy the view. The Promenade is lined with grand town houses and mansions, and is part of Brooklyn’s first Historic Preservation District.

Jane St Hotel
In 1912, the Jane St Hotel was the place where the survivors and surviving crew members of the Titanic stayed. The Jane Hotel was also the place where the crew held a special memorial service to honor all of those that died on that tragic night. While they stayed in the hotel, many of the crew and survivors still waited to see if by some miracle, some others had survived the sinking, but word never came, and even today it is believed that the Titanic crew members are still waiting for news and have taken up residence in the halls of the old hotel.

Well, R350, the wikipedia article says that the Gaiety Theater used to be at 201 W 46th Street and the building was eventually demolished.
The Lunt-Fontanne Theatre is at 205 W 46th Street so if you look at google street view, it looks like there's a building with an American Eagle Outfitters store on the former site of the Gaiety.

Base of One World Trade Center. I've only seen pics from a distance of this building so I assumed it was all smooth glass. In fact, the base has angled glass fins that protrude from stainless steel panels. I don't know if the glass is purely decorative to reflect the light during the day or if they have another purpose.

Thanks for the interesting info. I guess Brooklyn then was a different place, ie. pre gentrification. It's amazing how many artists have lived in Brooklyn Heights and the surrounding neighborhoods. I was reading a bit about the struggles of H.P. Lovecraft and Carson McCullers. Now I guess the only artists there are very successful ones with millions, though I assume the townhouses next to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade have always been relatively expensive.

According to the New York Post (Feb. 2018), Taylor Swift has spent $47.7 million buying up real estate at 153 and 155 Franklin Street in Tribeca.
She bought a second-floor 3,540-square-foot apartment at 155 Franklin Street from financier Jeremy Phillips for $9.75 million. Swift already owns two top-floor units in this building. She combined them to create a penthouse duplex measuring 8,000 square feet. She paid $19.95 million for the penthouse properties, which were formerly owned by “Lord of the Rings” director Peter Jackson, in 2014.
Other former celebrity residents at 155 Franklin include Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh, Steven Soderbergh and Orlando Bloom.
Swift also owns an $18 million townhouse next door, at 153 Franklin St., which comes with its own paparazzi-proof garage.
