Amanda,

New york is so freakin cool. People are cool - even the moms at the playground down the street, restaurants are cool - like the tiny coffee shop that might go unnoticed if it weren't for its following, and the houses are cool - all these beautiful brick buildings with loads of character.

I keep tripping over my feet glaring at the brownstones all over West Village. Here's one nearby that's for sale. It's listed at a mere $14,000,000 because every inch of space in NYC is precious. Worth every penny?

Love the black and white art and the herringbone floors.
