Moore St.—whose identity was the subject of wild speculation for months—are Manhattan money man Mark Zittman and his wife, Noelle, The Post has learned. They haven’t yet closed, but they expect to soon move into the six-story mansion, which they snagged for a relatively bargain-basement price—about $11 million off what was originally asked. Zittman, 44, is a managing director of Guggenheim Associates, a financial services company. His wife is a former marketing manager at Elle Magazine.” Maybe I can borrow a cup of benjamins sugar? (New York Post)
