Filed under: Estates, Sports

michael strahanFormer Giants superstar Michael Strahan has been spending a lot of time in Los Angeles over the past year while working on his now-cancelled sitcom "Brothers." Last fall he listed his New York City loft for $1.5 million. But now it is back on the market at an increased price. His 2,000-square-foot loft at 25 Murray St. in TriBeCa is listed for $1.85 million.

The NY Post reports that he bought the home in 2006 for $1.6 million. Strahan's two-bedroom unit is a full service pre-war condominium with exposed brick, shiny wood floors and an eat-in kitchen. The 15-foot ceilings gave the 6'5" Strahan plenty of head room. The decor has obviously been staged in this one, Strahan has long ago decamped for greener pastures. He is engaged to Nicole Murphy, Eddie Murphy's ex-wife, a woman with some substantial real estate of her own.

Filed under: Estates

venice loft
Today's loft-like house in Venice, California is almost too chilly. The listing refers to it as being Zen-like and it is definitely spare, bare and suited for entertaining if not so much for living. The home's ground floor is open space which could be an office or business. The five-bedroom home has a large open area with a kitchen, dining area and a massive sunken sectional couch facing a huge projection screen. Outside there is a small rooftop pool and a barbecue area. While the main entertaining area is gorgeous, the listing pic of a bedroom looks a bit like a college dorm room. This home is listed at $5.495 million.

LOFT Organic Liqueurs

Filed under: Spirits, Green

Liqueurs from LOFT Liqueurs appear to have it going on from all angles: they come in decadent and unique flavors (i.e. Lavender, Lemongrass, and Spicy Ginger), they're handcrafted in small batches, and they're the first liqueurs in the country to be 100% certified organic.

Just two years ago LOFT Liqueurs was started by two women, Lisa Averbuch and Sabrina Moreno-Dolan, and was originally born through Lisa's experimentation with a random limoncello recipe. Besides the 3 standard flavors LOFT is looking to expand, starting with seasonal flavors like Tangerine and Blueberry. Look for LOFT Liqueurs in restaurants in California and you can buy them online here for $29.99/bottle.

The Nicollet to Slice, Not Scrape

Filed under: Estates

While over-zealous condo developers backpedal a bit all around urban America, the forces behind The Nicollet are still confident that their ultra-modern "sky-slicer" will entice you deep pocketed hipsters to fork over $300k for a one-bedroom 700 sq. ft. mini-loft in downtown Minneapolis. The building certainly plans to succeed in said wooing, having already committed upscale restaurants and posh shops to its street-level real estate. And if you're after one of the building's signature "Summit" penthouses you'd better come with your thinking cap; the $3 mill+ price tags include a personal architect to help you customize your very own 6,000 ft floor plan.
