Wynton Marsalis
The Afternoon Wrap: Tuesday
- Catastrophe in West Soho! Moondance Diner is being wiped away to make room for--here it comes--luxury condos. "There are not going to be any more diners," says traitorous owner Sunil "Sunny" Sharma (one of the condo's co-developers). [NY Sun, via Gothamist]
- Is the newly-renovated $320,000 prewar co-op at 478 West 158th Street the cheapest three-bedroom in Manhattan? The neighborhood could be "a colossal headache," but 100 grand (and change) per bedroom is a luscious price. [New York/D.I.]
- Curbed's montage [above] of Andre "Mr. Uma" Balazs' William Beaver House is frightening. And very sexy. And frightening. [Curbed]
- How much does designing a Park Avenue bachelor pad cost? Single-male homeowners spend $250,000 to $500,000 "customizing their pad," according to Forbes. On the other hand, Wynton Marsalis' interior decorator says his client's ear was so good there was no need for high-end stereos. [F.L.] - Max Abelson
