SUING OVER A VIRTUAL DOORMAN
Crain’s reports that a buyer for the $19 million penthouse at 37 Warren is suing her broker, whom she says misled her about the doorman. The building has a part-time one on the weekdays, and a virtual doorman on the weekends, while it was “her belief that the building had a full-time flesh-and-blood doorman, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday in state Supreme Court in Manhattan.”
MODERN LIVING IN THE WOODS
The Times features the very cool weekend home of Tribecans Javier Morales and Alex Morris, which the couple had designed and built from scratch in Litchfield County in CT. The two own Proxyco, a Lower East Side gallery focused on Latin American art.
WALKABLE IN THE HAMPTONS
And more luxe weekend digs: The Times also features the East Hampton home of Tribecans Dimitry and Yelena Goncharov, who spent four years looking in the Hamptons before settling on a large shingled spec house within walking distance of town. They are both doctors, and Dimitry is the founder of Pure OBGYN, a women’s health-care provider.
LE GRATIN IS HOT
Eater puts Le Gratin on this month’s Heatmap for the best restaurants to try in the city. “Plan on ordering a regional specialty like the quenelle, a quivering pike dumpling with gruyere-mushroom bechamel. The desserts are excellent, too, from the peach melba to the roasted cherries cream puff.”

And I hope she wins her lawsuit. Doormans are essential nowadays, and usually a HUGE deal breaker. So to have been mislead that there was one provided 24 hours is a big NO NO! You need doormans especially during the weekends as this neighborhood does not have as much street traffic. And I hope the money she wins she can offer her building relief of a doorman, or out of her contract.
