The Mark Hotel

Do you have an extra $60MM lying around and your looking to invest? Possibly in real estate? The penthouse at The Mark may be the perfect option for you. The Mark Hotel is a true institution in the City of New York. It has been housed in the landmark building on 77th Street And Madison Avenue since 1927 and remains surrounded by the most famous museums, art galleries, boutiques, shopping and restaurants. What more could you ask for? I guess for $60MM you should be asking for a lot! Here's a sneak peak inside some of the lavish offerings at the refurbished residential and commercial property. Enjoy!

In Love With The Bloom

I find such great inspiration in flowers. They make me so happy and fill a home with such warmth. Living in Manhattan and feeling at home are two things that tend to not go together that is unless you have a lavish design budget and an enormous floor plan to play with. If you are like the rest of us, transient and non-commital New Yorkers you probably find yourself adding store bought window treatments, throwing a rug here and adding a light there. Just once, take it a step further. Fall's around the corner and is crisp for welcoming weekends spent touring the flower market with a warm latte and your lovely. If you aren't feeling adventurous but are sensing a staleness to the 600sqft you call home, take a trip to your local bodega and grab a few stems of whatever inspires you. It could be the fragrance of a fresh casablanca lily or the overwhelming volume of a hydranga, the simplicity of a rose or the elegance of a calla lily. No vase? Find an old wine bottle, jam jar or serving bowl, and throw in a few hydrangea stems for a rustic looking arrangement. VOILÀ
