In the News: A hunt for the perfect $2M apartment

THE HUNT, TRIBECA STYLE
The Times’ real estate search column took a couple from California (kids in college, new job in the city) with $2 million to spend on a Tribeca scavenger hunt — trying to replace their three-bedroom house in LA (with pool) for the two of them and their golden retriever. They went from 49 Chambers (the recent conversion of the Beaux Arts building) to 30 Warren on the corner of Church (not yet finished) to a coop at 138 Duane. You have to click on a two-question survey to get the answer to see what they chose so I won’t spoil it here. I guessed wrong!

IN THE DARWIN AWARD DEPARTMENT…
Two 18-year-olds jumped into the Hudson near the North Cove Marina to get their volleyball, and of course, the NYPD had to fish them out. Why that volleyball was so precious, or why it would take two of them to get it, is something only an 18-year-old mind can answer. CBS News reports: “They got the ball… They also got a whole lot of police to help them get the ball!” an NYPD sergeant said right after that.

NYPD OFFICERS ADDED TO MEMORIAL
The names of 47 police officers who died from 9/11-related illnesses were added to the Fallen Heroes Memorial in Battery Park City on Friday. –The Post

EQUITABLE BUILDING RENO IS COMPLETE
New York YIMBY reports that restoration work on the Equitable Building, aka 120 Broadway, is complete. The historic 104-year-old Beaux Arts skyscraper underwent a two-year, $50 million renovation and recently celebrated the opening of the Bankers Club – a private bar reserved for tenants of the building (still, I want to see it).

CUOMO AND SANDRA LEE SPLIT

  1. 49 Chambers isn’t really Tribeca.
