A Look At Brooklyn's Newest Boutique Condo, The Symon

Sarah Finkel

The Symon, Brooklyn Height’s newest ground-up, full-service boutique luxury condominium, is slated to open in the fall, boasting private outdoor spaces and three penthouses in a mix of one-to-four bedroom homes. Offering contemporary residences with an elevated design sensibility and an acute attention to detail, the historic and tasteful 12-story building with 59 residences is destined to grace the picturesque streets and beautiful townhouse blocks of the borough.

It’s located at 76 Schermerhorn Street between Court Street and Boerum Place, near Downtown Brooklyn's numerous educational institutions, 13 subway lines, premiere retailers and a plethora of culinary and nightlife options.

Steeped in history, The Symon is a nod to the patriarch of the Schermerhorn family, whose aristocratic mercantile legacy dates back to the 1600s. The family is known for their sense of civic duty and philanthropy as a patron of the arts and of the educational institutions of New York, namely Columbia University. Thus, The Symon celebrates the confluence of both history and culture, and commerce and education.

Studio DB, the New York-based design firm led by husband and wife Damian and Britt Zunino, known for their custom home portfolio and high-end interiors work, has been tapped to design The Symon's interiors (including amenities) and its captivating facade. Lonicera Partners, Orange Management and The Davis Companies are handling its development, while Stribling Marketing Associates is exclusively handling sales and marketing for the building. Pricing has yet to be revealed.

Paris always has a certain charm for me. This city is always pictured as a romantic place, rich with culture and delicious foods. Judging from what I've read from INSIDR, I dare to say that it was all true! From the infamous Eiffel Tower to the less known off-beaten path museums around town, you will get to do whatever you'd love to with the guides from INSIDR. A river and canal cruise along the Seine admiring the full view of beautiful bridges in Paris could be a nice start. You can also enjoy the afternoon by simply taking a stroll in one of the beautiful parks all around Paris. Paris is a big city with many parks within, and it can bring us to a relaxing atmosphere for a moment after bustling with so many people visiting the main attraction of this city.

One of the most interesting articles that I found is one about the best shows in Paris. I didn’t realize how many different kinds of shows there are in the city. From cabaret shows at the Moulin Rouge to comedy shows in English, it seems like there’s truly something for everyone. It was also cool to read about some of the amazing venues that the city has. I like how the article not only introduced some of the best shows in the city but they also included the surrounding restaurants and bars, and also other things that you can do to enjoy the night in Paris.

5 Health Check-Ups You're Missing Out On

It doesn't matter what age you are; you're always going to worry about your health. Those in their teens and Twenties worry a little less about it, but if you're noticing that you've hit 30 and you're suddenly concerned about your health, you're not alone. Younger people worry less because they believe that they're invincible - it's a mortality thing. However, if you find that you're really wondering how healthy you really are, perhaps it's time to see the doctor and get a checkup.

Making sure you have the appropriate healthcare coverage can ensure that when you do need any checkups or tests, you have the correct insurance to cover the cost. It can be hard to know exactly what type of coverage you may need or exactly what is and isn’t included along with your copays. Look at medicare benefits to find out what plans are available for you to ensure you are getting the appropriate cover for your needs.

There is a range of health tests that we all need from time to time, from hearing tests as standard to the eye tests that we all need to take when our eyesight gets bad. In fact, everyone should get a hearing test regularly to ensure their auditory health is maintained, just as they would with vision and dental check-ups.

Blood Pressure Tests

There is a difference between high blood pressure and low blood pressure, and it's ideal for your blood pressure to remain in the normal range so that you don't encounter subsequent health issues. A blood pressure test is painless, with a cuff fitted to your upper arm, inflated until tight and then released. This allows your doc to know whether there is another issue going on - and be ready just in case!

Bowel Cancer Screening

While screening for bowel cancer doesn't always lead to a diagnosis, it can detect possible issues before the symptoms begin. You'll need to use a testing kit called a Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBt), and this can collect stool samples over a few days, and then they are sent off for testing. Mostly, screening is done for those over the age of 60, but if you are concerned, speak to the doctor.

Breast Screening

Most experts agree that regular breast screening is an essential part of life for a woman, and the earlier an issue is found in the breast, the better chance of overcoming it. You'll have a mammogram performed, where each breast is x-rayed. It's an essential screening because 1 in 8 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Regular screenings should take place from the age of 50.

Smear Tests

Another one for the women! Cervical screening is another way to check for abnormalities that could develop later on. It's an important test that needs to take place, especially as women all over the country are diagnosed with cervical cancer every day. Women should ask their doctor about cervical screening when they become sexually active.

Cholesterol Test

Cholesterol is fat that is carried around the body via the blood. When cholesterol levels are too high, the build up in the arteries can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, and with testing, the doctors can ensure that you are on the right diet and taking regular exercise. It's essential to take note of any issues you may be experiencing so that you can let your doctor know.
