Harbour Sets Sail In NYC

Filed under: Dining

Want a taste of the sea without ever leaving land? Harbour, a restaurant located on 290 Hudson Street in West Soho in New York City opened today. The restaurant is being run by restaurateur Richard Schaeffer, former chairman of NYMEX Holdings, Inc., and Michelin star chef Joe Isidori. The 80-seat restaurant has a nautical look that isn't lobster traps and buoys, instead the dining room looks like the interior of a luxury yacht with porthole windows and gleaming wood.

As you might expect, the menu is heavy on the seafood with items like ceviche, mussels, butter clams and Artic char. Eater reveals that the set lunch is $25 and a set four-course dinner is $45. During the first month of service, 10% of proceeds from select seafood dishes will be donated to Monterey Bay Aquarium, Chefs Collaborative, and Blue Ocean Institute.

Atelier Minyon 22kt gold mesh cuff with ruby and diamond accents

World renowned Turkish jewelry designer Atelier Minyon is finally in the United States, having opened a classy little shop in Soho, New York City, at 155 Spring Street.

Enchanted by their window, I stopped into their Soho shop one morning last week while they were still spritzing the sparkling glass cases. I was enthralled by the variety I found -- everything from elegant, bejeweled floral brooches to very exotic, bright yellow gold cuffs.

Their jewelry is bold and inventive, while maintaining an elegant, family relic feel. These pieces call up the grandeur of vintage design -- these are the kind of pieces that become heirlooms. Check out some of the exotic and dazzling designs below, and visit the Atelier Minyon website here.

Iradj Moini in Soho

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry

Iradj Moini, a former couture designer for Oscar de la Renta, makes some of the most exquisite and unusual jewelry we've seen this millennium.

As you shop in NYC's Soho neighborhood this holiday season, be sure and stop by the Spring Street boutique (198 Spring, near Sullivan). The boutique has been open since Spring 2007, and feels like an art gallery. You won't believe you're looking at new pieces, released seasonally, and not well-kept relics of the 1920's.

If you're not in NY, you can also browse a number of Iradj Moini's items at Domont Jewelry, a West Hollywood, CA jewelry dealer with an exceptional selection of Iradj Moini on display their website.

Almost every piece is stunning, and worth a look if only for inspiration.

City Winery, New York's First Private Label Winery

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Wine

City Winery is scheduled to open this fall in an unlikely place: right in the middle of Soho, New York. It will not only be the first winery in New York City but it's the first in any major urban area. City Winery will be a combination members-only winery and public nightclub -- only members will have access to where and how the wine is made. Three membership options will be offered starting at $5,000 and going as high as $15,000 annually, with membership owners getting the title of "barrel owner" with their own 50 gallon American oak barrel, 4 classes each year with wine makers, and a special venue to swap their vintages with other members.

Pop-Up Store Sells $2500 Genetic Testing

by Laura Malesich (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Services

Starting on April 8th and continuing for ten days, Navigenics will pop-up on a well-known block in SoHo to market their genetic testing kits as well as hosting panel discussions on genetics and other health related programs. These genetic testing kits are designed to screen your DNA for seventeen diseases and conditions including Alzheimer's, breast cancer and Type II diabetes, in order to share with customers the likelihood of them developing these diseases later in life. No pin-prick needed -- just a swab of your saliva will do the trick. Sent off to a laboratory your risk assessment results are returned to you via email, with password protection for privacy, within weeks. It certainly is pricey but for some individuals, their health and knowing the possibilities is worth the $2,500.

We've spent a lot of time in this code for estate of the day features in the past because it is a celebrity magnet and home to some of New York's most attractive real estate. Recently we covered one of the most expensive condos in the area, an apartment at 76 Crosby, a building that is home to Kelly Ripa and Mark Conseulos.

Today's estate is in the New Museum Building on Broadway. The 4,678-square-foot loft has maple finishes throughout for a cohesive look. The space was designed by architect Alison Spear and uses the hallways as library and children's play space. There is a large kitchen and a maple-lined central media room with a wet bar. The master bedroom has large south-facing windows, a walk-in closet and an all-marble bath with whirlpool, separate shower and heated floors. There are three additional bedrooms and another full bath. The rest of the home includes a powder room and laundry room and the home has central air and an audio system.

Rent Harry Potter's Apartment

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

A few days ago I mentioned the real estate dealings of Frankie Muniz. Another young star getting his start in the real estate business is Daniel Radcliffe. The Harry Potter star has bought a Manhattan apartment for just under $4.3 million in the 40 Mercer building in SoHo. The property is now listed for rent at $20,000 a month through Halstead. The 1,843 sq ft fifth-floor apartment has two bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms and floor to ceiling windows. Amenities in the building include a swimming pool, steam room and concierge services. The purchase was made by Gilmore Jacobs Ltd., the company set up by Radcliffe's parents when he was just 11. The Sun reports that the company is now worth more around $40 million. Now that he is 18, Radcliffe has control of his own funds but hasn't been seen living too much of an extravagant lifestyle yet.

Trump's New Apprentice Gets To Choose Between New York and Hawaii

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Estates

Braden Keil at the NY Post reports that Donald Trump, daughter Ivanka and son Donald Trump Jr. are creating a new co-tel in Soho. The 45-floor tower will be built at 246 Spring and will be one of the projects offered to the winner of tonight's "The Apprentice" finale. The Trump International Hotel & Tower SoHo will have more than 400 hotel condo rooms and suites, a spa and a high-end restaurant as well as retail space. The hotel will have 360-degree views from the 12th floor and up.

The winner of "The Apprentice" will get to choose between this tower and a project in Waikiki, a five-star $400 million co-tel complex that will have 460 units, restaurants and bars. Hmm, a year in Hawaii or a year in New York...I love NYC but I'd go for the Aloha option.
