Happy National Espresso Day! Can you imagine a world without such a glorious and uplifting drink, we certainly wouldn’t want to. The origin of the word 'espresso' came from the espresso machine. This name was given by two men, Luigi Bezzera & Desiderio Pavoni, in Venice, Italy, who after years of tweaking their coffee making machine came up with a newer model in 1903. They called the coffee made with a newer machine - cafee espresso.
Remember to always start off with Un Espresso Per Favore!

Perc of Art
By Craft Mixologist Chelsea Solkowski on behalf of Saxtons River Distillery
1oz Perc Coffee Liqueur by Saxtons River Distillery (Available on TotalWine)
.5oz Saxtons Maple Liqueur
1oz Shot of Espresso (roughly 1 oz)
2oz Vanilla Vodka
Grated Cinnamon
—Martini Glass
(Build this recipe in a cocktail shaker)
Add 1 oz Perc Coffee Liqueur, .5 Saxtons Maple Liqueur, 2 oz of Vanilla Vodka of your choosing, and one shot of Espresso.
To obtain the desired foam on top of martini, shake it more than you think you should, and then some!
Immediately strain into a martini glass and garnish with a sprinkle of grated cinnamon
** Optional, add a dollop of *homemade maple whip cream!
Chelsea’s Tips:
-To make the Maple whipped cream — in a shaker or a mason jar, add 6 oz of heavy whipping cream and 1 oz of maple syrup. Shake this until desired consistency! Be careful not to shake past the point of whipped cream, as you will begin to make butter.. (not the worst accident you’ll ever have!)
-Consider creating your own vanilla vodka! Simply choose an unflavored vodka and add 1 vanilla bean per liter. Let sit in a cool dry place. Results will be noticeable within 24 hours, however the longer you wait, the more flavor you’ll get.

As popular as an espresso martini is, Chicago’s River North hotel The Godfrey’s rooftop bar, I|O Godfrey, wanted to make sure their Espresso Martini stood out, but not affect the flavor of it. Instead of making the martini with the staple ingredient, vodka, they decided substitute the vodka for Don Julio Anejo, only to elevate the flavor of everyone’s favorite martini. It is made with a tequila twist with Invigorating Brew of Don Julio Anejo, Mr. Black Coffee Liqueur, Amaro Montenegro, & Fresh Espresso. By making the Espresso Martini with Don Julio Anejo, instead of using vodka, strikes the perfect balance of rich agave notes and a subtle bitterness from the coffee, all with just the right amount of sweetness.

JDS Development Group and Property Markets Group today celebrate a major milestone for 111 West 57th Street, by fully unveiling its new interiors, which herald the completion of the monumental ultra-luxury residential development. Award-winning Studio Sofield, led by William Sofield, designed the interior architecture for the history-making development which is comprised of two adjacent structures: the landmarked Steinway Hall, once home to the Steinway & Sons piano company, and the newly constructed 1,428-foot tower designed by SHoP Architects — the second tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere. Perfectly centered over Central Park, 111 West 57th Street sets a new standard for bespoke luxury living.
There are a total of 60 residences within 111 West 57th Street, 14 in the landmarked Steinway Hall building and 46 full-floor and duplex residences within the 91-story tower, which has redefined the Manhattan skyline with its bold yet slender silhouette. Originally crafted in 1925 by Warren & Wetmore, the famed architecture firm behind New York landmarks such as Grand Central Terminal, Steinway Hall has been comprehensively reimagined to create gracious, light-filled residences and refined amenity spaces that honor the spirit of the original design. As part of the development, the neoclassical building’s ornate historic rotunda and Indiana limestone façade were painstakingly restored in collaboration with the Landmarks Preservation Commission of New York.
“The completion of 111 West 57th Street is a testament to the design and ingenuity that can only be achieved by collaborating with today’s most extraordinary designers, artisans, construction, and sales teams. Every aspect of this development has been meticulously conceived to achieve a delicate balance that pays homage to the classic skyscrapers of Manhattan's past while also setting a new standard for the future,” stated Michael Stern, Founder and CEO of JDS Development Group, a developer and builder of the project. “The interior architecture created by Studio Sofield is nothing short of breathtaking, and we are proud to fully unveil it for the first time.”
“With 111 West 57th Street, I set out to create interior architecture that was unmistakably and quintessentially New York. While celebrating the vibrancy of today, I am a historian by nature and sought to honor and evoke the splendor of our city’s gilded age,” said William Sofield. “One hallmark of my work has always been the Studio’s collaborations with the most renowned artists and artisans of our time. Steinway Hall offered endless possibilities, for my imagination.”
Through the use of subtle detailing, luxurious finishes and superb craftsmanship, Studio Sofield has created something truly spectacular that offers residents understated elegance that is simply not available anywhere else. The interior architecture takes inspiration from the original Warren and Wetmore designed building to create the monumental lobbies and residential interiors and a stunning collection of amenities.
The 82-foot swimming pool is housed within an elegant paneled double height room with full length windows and abundant natural light, Kentia palms, cabanas, and an arched ceiling that altogether evoke the grandeur of a ballroom. The his and hers spa suites were influenced by the European Art Deco style with upholstery inspired by the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Numerous inhouse service options include a barber shop, hair salon, treatment room, and shoe-shine station. The triple-height fitness center offers state-of-the-art equipment and abundant natural light.
Inside the tower are 46 full-floor and duplex residences with soaring ceiling heights and breathtaking views of Central Park and Manhattan’s skyline. With only one residence per floor, each home is organized around a central entrance gallery with horizon-deep views north and south that leads to a signature Great Hall, which often spans the full width of the tower. Studio Sofield’s perfectly tailored interior architecture accentuates the homes’ impressive ceiling heights, which measure up to 14 feet. Floors are paved in smoke-gray solid oak as well as macauba stone, while 9-foot-tall macassar and lacquer doors are fitted with bronze handles and hinges by the P.E. Guerin, the country’s oldest architectural hardware firm. Bespoke kitchens by Studio Sofield feature custom cabinetry, stepped Crystallo white quartzite countertop and backsplashes, along with top-of-the-line appliances by Gaggenau. Richly veined white onyx covers the walls and floors of the bathrooms, which come with an antique polished metal freestanding tub by William Holland, as well as custom bronze fixtures cast by P.E. Guerin.
“111 West 57th is a skyscraper designed for the future while being historically rooted in New York City in the timelessness of its refined detail and robust form,” said Dana Getman, Principal, SHoP Architects. “The building was conceived of and shaped through light and shadow, as seen in its feathered setbacks and the sun’s reflection in the glazed terracotta curves and textured bronze detailing. Its design is completely unique on the skyline yet immediately recognizable as a part of the city.”
Available residences range in price from $7,750,000 to $66,000,000. The Corcoran Group is the exclusive sales and marketing representative for 111 West 57th Street.

It's important to make your home as energy-efficient as possible, given the state of both the environment and the economy. There are measures that you can take to this end, and it's important to find a way of making them work out for your home and needs. Read on to see some of these ways and start working on improving your home's energy efficiency.
Since your roof is a massive element in your home, it goes without saying that you stand to save a lot of energy by replacing it with a more durable one. Keep in mind that durability, in a consumer survey, was the main factor that influenced the decision of which new roof to buy. This was for 81% of respondents, followed closely by those who said longevity was important at 83%. Make sure that the durable roof is also great for the climate in which your home is and you can save even more money in terms of heating and cooling.
Rather than dry your clothes in the dryer, take advantage of the weather if you live in a place with good temperatures. This is not only going to help you keep your energy bills low, but it will also help you to keep your clothes in a great state for a longer time. While ditching the dryer, run the washer with cold water. This is going to generally be effective enough to clean your clothes and keep wear and tear to a minimum.
If you have an old garage door, it's a great idea to upgrade it. There are currently many garage doors on the market that can help you to use less energy while getting better service. Note that you can save up to 25% on your monthly energy bill by upgrading to a garage door model that's more energy-efficient. This fact makes it worth it to shop around for a new garage door as soon as possible. You'll also boost your home's value and safety when you get a new garage door. Make sure to have it installed by an expert, and find out if it comes with any warranty so you can get maximum value.
While the bulbs you have in your home may seem like an insignificant part of the energy consumed in your house, this isn't accurate. You'll see the truth of this when you make the switch to LED bulbs, which are going to be a lot more efficient as they need less energy to burn. They also last for a longer time than regular bulbs and so it's clear that you'll make savings by not having to replace them regularly. This means that there will be less material heading to the landfill from your home to boot, always a plus.
Last but not least, you should consider replacing old appliances around your home with newer ones. This will help you to enjoy more efficiency with less energy consumption because technology has changed a lot over the past decade or so. Keep in mind that something like a water heater has a life expectancy of between eight and 12 years. When you know that a given appliance in your home has reached the end of its lifespan, you should upgrade it as soon as possible.
Using these tips is bound to help you improve your home's energy efficiency. You'll get a lot more efficiency when you do this and you'll be happy as a result of the fact that you'll leave a smaller carbon footprint!

Today we dive into Jess Stempel's NYC apartment filled with endless amounts of her beautiful art. This is an artist's dream apartment! In the heart of Manhattan's Financial District, Jess' brightly colored home is one you need to take inspiration from! Even her view of the New York Harbor is stunning.
Just launched 300 West 30th Street, the first new development condos located directly in The Penn District launches sales right as Meta moves into their offices next door at the Farley Building at Moynihan Hall. It’s a test to see if the area can evolve into a true residential neighborhood - and the sales team is willing to bet yes… they’ve already done a number of deals before officially launching sales!
The area surrounding 30th to 34th Streets and Seventh Ave to the River has felt disjointed from the rest of the city for years. Even after Hudson Yards created a new neighborhood of its own, it existed without a real connection to the rest of Midtown. Now, there is a sense of change, as The Penn District bridges the gap between Hudson Yards and Midtown West, creating for the first time a cohesive flow of elevated residential, office, retail, dining, and lifestyle experiences.
Residents have access to a chic and modern amenities package with a focus on seamlessly integrated outdoor space, perfect for co-working by day and entertaining by evening. Designed with natural materials in mind, 300 West 30th Street provides multiple outdoor amenities spaces. Residents can choose between an enchanting outdoor courtyard on the second floor with seating and lounge areas, a grill and outdoor kitchen for entertaining, and a fire pit, or the sophisticated open-air Sky Terrace on the 12th floor, with dramatic views of the Empire State Building, Hudson Yards, and the midtown skyline. The amenities also include a sleek gym with bountiful natural light and a residence lounge and co-working space with rooms that can be separated for privacy or expanded for entertaining, featuring an 8-person dining table with catering kitchenette for private events that opens directly to the terrace.
“300 West 30th Street is the newest addition to Manhattan’s most connected neighborhood and technology hub, as the Penn District evolves into a true live, work, play, destination,” said Aleksey Gavrilov and Joseph Grosso of the Gavrilov-Grosso Team at The Corcoran Group, handling sales on behalf of Corcoran New Development. "Everyone would love to live in a condominium that feels like a boutique hotel, and with high design by Workshop/APD and amenities in the center of everything, 300 West 30th Street is a unique offering for a primary home or pied-a-terre.”
Corcoran New Development and The Gavrilov-Grosso Team at Corcoran are exclusively handling the sales and marketing for 300 West 30th Street.

An Inspiring Collaboration by Cuban Rooted Founder Janet Diaz-Bonilla, Master Blender Francisco José “Don Pancho” Fernández Pérez and Artist, Mr. Humberto Benitez.

La Marielita Rum is thrilled to announce the launch of the inaugural blend of the premium hand-crafted blended Panamanian rum.
Led by Janet Diaz-Bonilla, the first Cuban-American immigrant woman to found and own a rum brand, La Marielita Rum is a proud collaboration of Janet Diaz-Bonilla and fellow Cuban rooted masterminds Francisco José “Don Pancho” Fernández Pérez, also known as the Godfather of Rum and artist Humberto Benitez.
Photo via @lamarielitarum
La Marielita Rum is inspired by the 1980 Mariel Boatlift, an exodus initiated by a political movement where thousands of Cubans sought refuge at the Peruvian embassy. At six-years-old, Janet Diaz-Bonilla, alongside her parents, embarked on a journey from Mariel, Cuba to Key West, Florida, only to be transferred upon arrival to a holding camp for 53 days before being awarded their freedom. Janet embarked on this journey to craft La Marielita Rum to honor and celebrate hard work, dedication to family, and gratitude for freedom.

As CEO and founder, Janet brought together a team that defines and embodies Cuban heritage. Together Janet and world-renowned Cuban Master of Rum, Francisco José “Don Pancho” Fernández Pérez, skillfully formulated a rum with a distinctly unique bouquet of aromatic flavors distilled in Las Cabras de Pesé, Panama.

“I am fortunate to have the opportunity to collaborate with one of the world’s most gifted and respected master blenders and artists to tell my story through a genuinely delicious tasting experience,” says Janet Diaz-Bonilla. “We take great pride in the final result of our premium rum and are excited to share La Marielita Rum with the world.”

Acclaimed Cuban-American artist, Humberto Benitez, shares the founder’s roots and understood the importance of illustrating an image that encompassed the sentiments and authenticity of La Marielita’s story for the bottle’s label. “The painting I created for the label art of La Marielita Rum is a story of hope, determination, boundless spirit against the odds, and the beauty of those who carry that spirit over the horizon,” says Humberto Benitez. La Marielita Rum is aged in Bourbon curated American white oak casks for at least 18 Years with no additives or artificial flavorings. With a burnt toffee and oak aroma, the rum gradually transitions into cacao flavors as it grazes the palate; with layers of vanilla, coffee bean and orange blossom lingering, it then evolves into tenors of hazelnut and chocolate and ends with a smooth and balanced finish.

La Marielita Rum (SRP: $59.99) is currently available in Florida, California, and New York and also available nationwide at https://lamarielita.com/shop/.

450 Washington is the latest residential project in New York City designed by Roger Ferris + Partners, the world-renowned architects behind some of the most significant modern residences in the United States. Roger Ferris + Partners designed both the exterior, featuring a new French limestone plastered façade and oversized bronze-framed picture and casement windows, as well as the interior, a complete reconstruction with contemporary layouts and sophisticated residential interiors.
“Our design strategy was to expand all the views in an effort to open up vistas, in all directions, towards this incredible waterfront amenity,” said Roger Ferris, Founding Principal of Roger Ferris + Partners.
All residences at 450 Washington feature kitchens with a top-of-the-line Miele appliance package, custom cabinetry in a white lacquer finish, and opalescent Brazilian Naica Quartzite countertops and backsplashes.

The nearly 8,000 square-foot garden features lush plantings and a covered walkway path leading to the grand lobby with custom furnishings and lighting by MAWD, where residents are welcomed by a 24-hour doorman.

New York City's luxury real estate market is known for show-stopping homes with hefty price tags. Below are three spectacular on-the-market penthouses that take living in Manhattan to new heights (literally!). I thought you might be interested in a round-up of one-of-a-kind spaces.
All three of these unbelievable penthouses give you the best NYC views and lifestyle — with floor-to-ceiling windows showing off the iconic skyline from every angle and amenities that give you everything you need without even leaving home. Plus: they're all on the market right now with closings underway, so you can drop everything and move in immediately.
A birds-eye view of Central Park, a white spiral staircase and a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle are the elements that make Penthouse 34 the prime listing at 200 East 59th Street, the sister building of 432 Park Avenue, one of the tallest (and most successful) residential towers in the Western Hemisphere. The penthouse shines for its soaring 14-foot ceilings and incredible floor-to-ceiling windows that place residents high above the intersection of the vibrant Upper East Side and Midtown East neighborhoods. The grand spaces are made all the more unique by their column-free interiors, an engineering feat accomplished by architecture firm CetraRuddy by pushing the interior support structures out to the exterior. The columns now proudly epitomize the building’s crisp, ultra-modern architecture and give it its iconic Manhattan-meets-Miami look. This particular listing also has massive private outdoor space, with a wraparound terrace as well as a covered rooftop deck offering plenty of room for a summertime lounge overlooking Central Park.

An iconic residential development in NYC, Waterline Square is more than 95% sold and this is the last opportunity to own a penthouse this impressive community that has housed celebs like Tom Holland and Zendaya and was the filming location for hit shows like And Just Like That... and Billions. Located in One Waterline Square, the stunning full-floor penthouse spans over 6,500 square feet and houses five beds and 6.5 baths. Sweeping views of Manhattan landmarks from the Empire State Building to Freedom Tower can be enjoyed through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as from a private terrace, complete with an outdoor kitchen and fireplace—perfect for entertaining. Rounding out the elegant residence is a truly spectacular amenities package unlike anything offered in NYC, which includes a tennis court, indoor gardening studio, recording studio, basketball court and skate park.
Fans of the Upper East Side will swoon over this one-of-a-kind triplex penthouse at the crown of 180 East 88th Street, the striking Carnegie Hill tower developed and designed by Joe McMillan's DDG. Currently on the market for $33 million, this amazing penthouse spans 5,508 square feet with an additional 3,500 square feet of private terrace space across all levels, including an expansive rooftop terrace overlooking Central Park at an elevation of 467 feet — the highest elevation on the UES. The home features panoramic views in all directions, two living room spaces — including one with a gas fireplace and wet-bar — a large dining area, eat-in kitchen, five bedrooms plus den, four full and two half baths, and an eye-catching sculptural spiral staircase leading to the upper-floor bedrooms and third-level roof terrace. The penthouse has been staged by IMG and can be purchased fully furnished.

Perfectly positioned on 200 linear feet of pristine oceanfront, The Perigon, a diamond-shaped building designed by international architecture firm OMA, has released a first look at its hotel-style amenities private to owners, offering an unprecedented level of service and experiences in Miami Beach. Blurring the line between condominium and resort, the inspiring spaces were thoughtfully designed by Tara Bernerd, one of the most sought-after hospitality designers in the world, to deliver a palatial lifestyle evocative of a five-star hotel. Bernerd leveraged her decades of experience designing iconic properties from Belgravia to Vienna to create over 20,000 square feet of amenities that provide both exclusivity and an idyllic setting for connection and socializing.

“When we first launched The Perigon, our buyers were struck by the tower’s remarkable design that is seemingly afloat above lush gardens,” said Camilo Miguel, Jr., CEO of Mast Capital. “The architecture’s slender columns, soaring lines and wraparound terraces maximize the indoor-outdoor experience, and we had a clear vision to use this additional space to bring resort amenities and experiences into the condominium setting. With reservations successfully converted to contracts, and incredible demand for the limited remaining inventory, we’re proud to reveal how The Perigon’s amenities are as impressive as the residences themselves, and a true extension of one’s home. The amenity collection will cultivate a community for private owners to enjoy this enriched everyday lifestyle together; with every need being met by a team of butlers and expert concierges ready to make any request a reality.”
For the design of The Perigon’s amenities, Bernerd looked to the building’s masterful architecture. Residents arrive through a grand yet inviting lobby featuring honed white travertine flooring in a diamond pattern, a nod to the building’s distinctive shape, and finished in an Italian stone trim to connect to Miami’s natural textures. Warm, organic and bright, the interiors evoke the same sophistication as the European Riviera, a design choice inspired by the many seaside travels of The Perigon’s future residents.

“We envisaged the residents at The Perigon to be well travelled, design-savvy and highly cultured,” said Tara Bernerd. “We have created interiors that speak to the architecture of the building, with a conversation between interior and exterior design, that would appeal to this individual and their penchant for an international design sophistication. The amenity collection epitomizes this ethos, with finishes and furnishings chosen to evoke a refined relaxation, so that it truly is a destination in and of itself.
The amenities in this initial reveal are located on two levels and include a highly anticipated spa, featuring a mixture of materials and fabrics selected both for their authenticity to the area and their connection to sought-after natural environments. A billiards room was designed by Bernerd as a refreshing, mature approach to a game room. The warmly lit space is located just off the lobby and features a floor-to-ceiling glass interior wall to invite participation and spectatorship. The building’s signature diamond pattern is repeated here via its clever wood flooring. The sunrise lounge and hospitality kitchen stay consistent with the building’s soft and natural color palette, with light wood paneling and a dramatic stone bar for entertaining and private events.

An awe-inspiring indoor-outdoor conservatory doubling as a breakfast lounge and terrace stands apart as one of the most hotel-like amenities at The Perigon. Residents will start their days in the serene, dedicated space, where a barista will be available upon request to serve hot or iced coffee to a resident’s liking. The staff at The Perigon will always ensure that every owner’s ideal daily morning routine, from reading the local paper to enjoying sunny-side-up eggs, will be realized.
“The conservatory on the north side of The Perigon will be a dreamy, light-filled space encased in glass with lush garden views,” Bernerd said. “We were influenced by the notion of a shared breakfast area, which is an amenity you rarely see in condominiums, incorporating a wood floor inlaid with diamond-shaped white travertine inserts, as a contemporary take on iconic country house floors.”

The wine room and garden on the building’s south side is another unique space inspired by serenity, with views overlooking the property’s waterfall garden. The space will keep nearly 450 bottles of the most refined wine selections in stock and will offer storage services to residents with their own prized collections. A top sommelier will be on hand to host private tastings both at the bar and in the garden, while a celebrated chef will design a variety of pairing menus depending on the season. Bernerd continued, “We envisioned a room where the world’s finest wines will be enjoyed and stored and designed interiors that evoke this level of exclusivity.”
The Perigon features an expansive collection of amenities in addition to the spaces newly revealed. This includes a resident-only oceanfront restaurant, speakeasy bar, oceanfront swimming pool, poolside cabanas and sunbeds, a terraced fitness center with ocean views, children’s playroom, private salon and a screening room.

Starting at $4.15 million, The Perigon offers 72 two- to four-bedroom condominiums ranging from 2,100 to 6,700 square feet, with eight private guest suites offered to residents only. The project is expected to break ground in early 2023.
The Perigon is a joint venture between Mast Capital, one of South Florida’s most active real estate development and investment firms, and Starwood Capital Group, a leading global private investment firm. Sales and marketing are exclusively handled by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing.
