Could you sound more snobbish and oh I don't know....racist! Harlem has more history and culture in one block then most of the Mcmansion, upper-crust enclaves that your normally showcase on here. I would try for more tact next time. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Veronica]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 23rd 2007 2:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Skinny in Harlem, Estate of the Day]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/23/skinny-in-harlem-estate-of-the-day/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/23/skinny-in-harlem-estate-of-the-day/</guid><description><![CDATA[Deidre,<br><br>I think the word "skinny" is somewhat inappropriate. Most townhouses in NYC aren't that wide to begin with. That said, at least based on the photos, the house looks a lot wider than the 16 feet that you suggest. <br><br>Also, since this house is built around the turn of the century, it would have been originally built with dark mahogany as was the style and typical of the period. <br><br>If what you are saying is that this house seems very bright and cheerful, then I agree with you - it looks great! And, what a steal at $3.2M for a Manhattan townhouse in the most culturally diverse part of NYC. From the photos, the house looks more consistent with townhouses that are priced at over $10M.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ben]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 23rd 2007 3:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Skinny in Harlem, Estate of the Day]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/23/skinny-in-harlem-estate-of-the-day/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/23/skinny-in-harlem-estate-of-the-day/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why is it an insult to say it IS in Harlem? Harlem is the cheapest part of Manhattan (the further up, the cheaper) and it's no different than saying, "This house is only $90,000, but it IS in Detroit." Houses that seem like bargains aren't really if they're in low-rent areas.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[james]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 23rd 2007 3:32PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Skinny in Harlem, Estate of the Day]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/23/skinny-in-harlem-estate-of-the-day/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/23/skinny-in-harlem-estate-of-the-day/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well, I have been to several fabulous parties in this home. First of all, it is almost 17ft wide and it truly feels like a 20 footer inside because of the 12ft ceilings and incredible mahogany framed mirrors and sunlight.Take it from me, this one is a winner! ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[debby]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 23rd 2007 3:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Skinny in Harlem, Estate of the Day]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/23/skinny-in-harlem-estate-of-the-day/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/23/skinny-in-harlem-estate-of-the-day/</guid><description><![CDATA[Thanks, after the jump..

That said, I didn't read any emphasis in the word "IS." I just read it as "Don't get too excited -- it's in Harlem, not Mahattan" (meaning an undesireable area).<br><br>Harlem is rich in beauty and history.  The house is not gloomy.  It's quite lovely and a bargain and I'd love having it.  Even though it IS in Harlem.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[K]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 23rd 2007 6:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Skinny in Harlem, Estate of the Day]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/23/skinny-in-harlem-estate-of-the-day/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/23/skinny-in-harlem-estate-of-the-day/</guid><description><![CDATA[first time commenter, long time viewer...<br><br>don't get excited....its in Harlem..."<br><br>@#1 poster: you are so correct, what a back handed insult..<br><br>Harlem has so much history, character and artistic influence as community, but you would never know, because it is unlikely you ever visited.<br><br>Harlem has some of the best architecture in the country and people that live there love it and welcome people from all over the world~<br><br>if you ever get chance to visit, email me and i will be glad to show you around.<br><br>Hopefully your bigotry and ignorance can be cured~good luck to you]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[harlem resident]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 23rd 2007 7:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Skinny in Harlem, Estate of the Day]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/23/skinny-in-harlem-estate-of-the-day/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/23/skinny-in-harlem-estate-of-the-day/</guid><description><![CDATA[i read this blog everyday...this has to be my first comment... gotta agree with comment #1....it's black history month]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[goke]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 24th 2007 1:35AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Skinny in Harlem, Estate of the Day]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/23/skinny-in-harlem-estate-of-the-day/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/23/skinny-in-harlem-estate-of-the-day/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hi Deidre Woollard<br>I decided to google you,<br>not impressed at all...macaroni and cheese photos on flickr?<br>this is what you do with a MFA in writing no less?<br>sorry you are the last person that should cast judgement on Harlem<br><br>have you ever been to NYC?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[hat3r]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 24th 2007 1:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Skinny in Harlem, Estate of the Day]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/23/skinny-in-harlem-estate-of-the-day/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/23/skinny-in-harlem-estate-of-the-day/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm with the rest of the posters... perhaps if the "writer" had ever been to Harlem, she'd know what a wonderful place it is to live and that's why everyone is flocking to gobble up property here.  If she had any taste, she'd recognize the amazing beauty of this building's interior.  New Yorkers don't write about LA, so why do they think they are qualified to write about NY?  Stick to what you know: celebutards and suntanning.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[another Harlemite]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 24th 2007 12:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Skinny in Harlem, Estate of the Day]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/23/skinny-in-harlem-estate-of-the-day/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/23/skinny-in-harlem-estate-of-the-day/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have been to harlem many times, and while I have never had any particularly negative experiences - It never appealed to me in the least. If this poorly aged, heavilly dated dwelling were located anywhere else, they would be lucky to get 1million for it. I understand you pay a hefty premium for living downtown, but jesus christ, id feel like a complete sucker paying 3.2 for that abomination. The kitchen is the only room in the house that doesnt make me want to gag - you'd spend another million without blinking just trying to modernize the house and inbibe it with some semblence of taste. My townhouse in Toronto is a brand new, tastefully furnished 4 floor 21 footer that cost less than half of this and isnt located in the fucking ghetto. Oh well, some sucker.....errrr buyer...is going to get one hell of a "good deal" on this piece... You'd be better off buying in the suburbs and using the 2+ million you saved to buy fractional ownership of a helicopter and a maseratti for when you have to commute...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[terayon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 24th 2007 8:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Skinny in Harlem, Estate of the Day]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/23/skinny-in-harlem-estate-of-the-day/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/23/skinny-in-harlem-estate-of-the-day/</guid><description><![CDATA[Actually, poster #7, Harlem is in fact part of Manhattan... in my opinion, only those who attempt to segregate and devalue it would make such a distinction.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Douglas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 26th 2007 2:59AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
