LOFT PEEPING: AUSTRALIAN EXPATS
Australia’s Est magazine featured a Tribeca loft by Melbourne-based Nexus Designs, which was charged with creating a sense of Australia. Hence, the use of “wattle-tree green.”

DANCE WITH MISS RACHEL: WINTER/SPRING CLASSES OPEN FOR ENROLLMENT DEC. 2!
Find out why our first season in Tribeca was a near sellout.

Led by professional performer “Miss Rachel” Cantor, at Dance with Miss Rachel, kids ages 18 months to 7 years can let their creativity blossom in Ballet, Musical Theatre, Boys-Only Dance, Birthday Parties, and more, taught by professional Broadway instructors who sing along with a live pianist. See for yourself what makes us different. Enrollment begins Monday, Dec. 2 at www.dancewithmissrachel.com. For more info, email info@dancewithmissrachel.com or call 646-434-8150. Sponsored.

FOR THE MAN WHO HAS EVERYTHING—EXCEPT SHIRTS THAT FIT
Once you start wearing made-to-measure shirts, you won’t go back to off the rack—just ask the many stylish Tribeca men who have come to rely on ManuelRacim since it opened last summer on Hudson, across from Duane Park. Stylists guide clients through the painless design process, and the shirts are made in France from Italian fabrics. With prices ranging from $125 to $295, ManuelRacim’s shirts are a terrific gift idea, especially for men who might not do made-to-measure on their own: The elegant gift-card boxes include a linen pocket square, for a taste of what’s to come. Order now at 44 Hudson, by calling 212-233-0417, or at manuelracim.com. Sponsored.

REAL ESTATE SALES REPORT
Who bought where, from whom—and for how much. Including: A fitness guru buys big and a liquor store looks like its future is hazy.

PHOTO SAFARI!
Fun for everyone, or at least people who don’t mind random pictures with snarky captions.
