LOFT PEEPING: SASHA BIKOFF
The 25-year-old interior designer’s Tribeca triplex maisonette is “the ultimate bachelorette pad,” according to Sketch42. This is your best chance to see it, unless you’re on the guest list for one of her “epic” parties.

PIER 26 UPDATE
Good news about the boathouse, bad news about the restaurant.

THE LIVE WELL COMPANY TAKES PERSONALIZED TRAINING TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Trainers in Tribeca for 10 years now, Anne Marie and Darryl Bennick are thrilled to announce that their new Live Well Company gym is open! “We help people get the body they want by training the body they have,” says Anne Marie. “We don’t just plug them into a workout.” You need not be a member to train with a Live Well trainer, and you can be a member without hiring a trainer. Explains Darryl: “We want you to get the most out of your workout whether you’re with us or elsewhere, while also protecting your body.” And there’s no sneaky sales pitch—the website lists all pricing options. For more info, call 212-431-5752, stop by 256 West St. (between Vestry and Laight), or visit thelivewellcompany.com. Sponsored.
