when i die, joel can have all my flams

this UES drama queen left all kinds of flams to her manicurist, the guy who kept her car alarm from going off, her doorman, the coat check lady at the salon, the Met, etc.

my benefactors would include:
- the manager at the Steinway Salvation Army
- my beloved coffee guy on the corner of 6th and 22nd
- the gay grocery store clerk at Associated
- the halal guy on 34th ave with the glasses

who would you bequeath your flams to?

happy birthday to the NYC street baby born on the crosswalk at 68th and 3rd yesterday

Southern Hospitality is Dead

I mean, the Justin Timberlake owned terrible restaurant on the Upper East Side has closed. There are people on facebook that just can't believe it, but that place was the definition of over priced and mediocre.

madonna's new house

81st + lexington. gRoSs!

Madge has signed a contract to buy a four-story, Georgian-style townhouse on East 81st Street for about $40 million, sources said. That's some $5 million less than the original asking price.

"The townhouse is perfect for Madonna," according to one source. "She's trying to recreate London in New York City, and this is in the style of a London townhouse."

But her new home in what brokers call the "Far East" does not appear to be all that much of a bargain. No residence in that area "has ever sold for $20 million, let alone $30 million -- or ever will again," said one broker who asked not to be identified. (nypost)
