Want To Maximize Your Sun Exposure This Winter? Move Into One Of These Luxury Homes In New York City

Winter in the Northeast means two things: It’s cold and dark. The sun rises around 7 am and sets around 4:30 pm, leaving us in the dark (literally) for more than 14 hours every day. To keep our spirits up, making the most of those precious hours of sunlight every day is crucial. And New York City buyers love natural light. Compass agent Augusto Bittencourt says that natural light is “one of the most important criteria for New York City buyers.” In an ideal world, we would get rays of sunshine from sunrise to sunset. 

Luckily, that ideal world exists — at least in the following apartments, handpicked for those sun-chasers who want to maximize their exposure to natural light every day. Enjoy the sunshine from the comfort of your own home in these luxury New York City apartments.

Frankly, These are The Best Hot Dogs in New York City

New Yorkers know their hot dogs. From the annual Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest to “Dirty Water” dogs served from push carts around the city, it’s a dog-eat-dog city. Below are the best wieners we’ve tried.

Frankly by Snap-O-Razzo

Just in time for the New Year, acclaimed Chef Ralph Perrazzo (AKA the Hot Dog King of Las Vegas, and probably even the world) brought his beloved hot dog brand Snap-O-Razzo to New York City with the opening of his first brick-and-mortar concept, Frankly by Snap-O-Razzo, inside CITZENS Manhattan West. Inspired by his grandmother’s Italian sausages, Chef Perrazzo began making homemade Italian sausages as a teenager and honed in on his meat skills while at the Culinary Institute of America. Chef Ralph’s whole menu is elevated and artisanal, but some of the must-order items include Ralphie's Favorite Dog, which is a choice of Beef and Pork Hot Dog or an All Beef Hot Dog topped with Ralph's Hot Dog Sauce, Sauerkraut, & Spicy Brown Mustard, a Chicago-ish Dog, Chili Cheese Dog, a Corn Dog and Pickle Corn Dog. There is also a “build your own dog” perfect for customization.

e’s Bar

e's Bar may be a neighborhood joint filled with fun, games and laughs, but they are serious about one thing – their food and drinks! In particular, a must-try is their Spicy Hot Dog – a Kosher dog with house-made spicy slaw. The dog pairs great with one of the many beers on tap and is easy to eat as you play a game of Connect Four, Jenga or cards.

Crif Dogs

A speakeasy and a hot dog stand meet in the East Village. Sounds like a weird joke but it’s not! Crif Dogs serves creative dogs each with personalities as unique as those ordering. Signature menu items include the “Chihuahua,” a bacon-wrapped Crif dog with sour cream and avocado; The “Spicy Redneck”, a bacon-wrapped Crif dog, chili, cole slaw, pickled jalapeños and the “Everything Dog,” a Crif dog, cream cheese, scallions, everything bagel seasoning. Spot the telephone booth inside the hot dog stand and you may get lucky enough to enter into Please Don’t Tell (PDT) speakeasy.

Katz’s Delicatessen

A legendary Lower East Side deli counter known for its mountainous pastrami sandwiches, Katz’s is also playing in the hot dog arena with its all-beef frankfurter. The natural casing provides an extra "snap" and can be finished off with accouterments like Sauerkraut and deli mustard. Unlike the gargantuous sandwiches, you can probably fit a few of these in your belly without exploding.

Schaller & Weber

Schaller & Weber takes you back in time to when stopping by the butcher and deli counter was like seeing family. They have been supplying Yorkville with German meats and sausages since 1937. Head inside the shop for the full experience if you have the time, or pop by the street-facing, quick-serve window Schaller’s Stube’s to order a juicy sausage that has stayed true to the recipes of the founder Ferdinand Schaller but with twists. Choose from bratwursts, cheddar brats, chicken brats, smoked sausage, knackwursts and beef wieners. Inventive creations include the Currywurst topped with curry ketchup and powder, The Saigon Special with daikon-carrot slaw and sriracha aioli, and the Bougie Brat with truffle, prosciutto, and crumbled goat cheese.   

Papaya King

Papaya King is the creator of tropical drinks and franks since 1932 and a staple of the Upper East Side. It’s a fast-food style joint founded by Gus Poulos, a Greek immigrant, that combines the spirit of the Caribbean spirit with simple yet succulent franks.

Rudy’s Bar and Grill

Rudy’s Bar and Grill is a no-frill bar that has been serving up a free hot dog with every drink you buy since 1933. The iconic life-size pig and worn red booths (now mainly held together with duct tape) are as much of a staple of the plump hot dog. Enjoy your dog in the speakeasy-like atmosphere or on the back patio.

3 Reasons Why Your Real Estate Listing Isn't Getting Traction

New York City is notorious for its hot real estate market, which makes it odd when your real estate listing doesn't get as much traction as you would expect. If your listing isn't picking up as many eyes as you think it should, there could be something wrong. Here are a few things that could be preventing your listing from heating up.

1. Your Server Is Experiencing DDoS Attacks

DDoS attacks have been on the rise. Layer 7 DDoS attacks increased in frequency by 573% quarter-by-quarter in 2021 alone. These attacks are targeting several different industries. The real estate market is no different. A denial-of-service attack is a type of cyberattack that happens when a cybercriminal wants to make your website unavailable to users by disrupting the server host. The attack spams the server with fake requests to access a website, making it difficult or even impossible for potential renters or buyers to see your listing. Make sure that the website you're using to host your listing has a secure web server host to protect your listing from DDoS attacks.

2. You're Using the Wrong Website Content

Content is everything. With hundreds of rental and real estate websites out there, you need to stand apart. Here's where creativity comes in. One realtor made national headlines for listing a home in New Hampshire in a Michael Myers costume from the 'Halloween' franchise. His photos not only drew attention but his creativity also helped create the sale.

While not everyone has that level of creativity, there are plenty of ways to spice up your listing. People want to envision themselves in a space. When they're looking for a house, they want it to speak to them and their personal style. The first step is to take great images. You wanted images that were of higher quality. Depending on your market, staging the interior of your listing before selling it can increase even more interest.

SEO and a well-worded listing will stand out as well. When looking at listings, describing properties in a way that tells a story is more interesting and they're less likely to scroll past the boring 'four-bedroom, two-bath, single-family.'

3. Your Listing Is in an Unfavorable Neighborhood

There are going to be times when there is a listing in a neighborhood that is less than desirable. So, how do you turn around and sell a property that nobody wants to picture themselves in?

Increasing curb value can do wonders. Curb value is one of those investments that pay off. Having new features such as windows can significantly increase the value of the property. The great thing about increasing the curb value of one building - the properties around it will either need to follow suit or see the value of their own properties drop.

Doing minor remodeling and staging on the inside of the property can do wonders as well. Again, it's like the initial photographs that you take with any new listing. It needs to look like something that someone could picture growing in. You can do small remodels such as lighting, painting, or flooring. If there are areas of the property that are more run-down, two of the most popular remodels are the kitchen and the bathroom. If your real estate listing isn't getting enough attention, try correcting any of the potential issues above. There could be a chance that the problem is the website, the content, or the way you're advertising the listing.

New Year, New Real Estate Outlook

If 2021 was a crazy year, 2022 was downright schizophrenic.  We started the year at an unprecedented rate – each well-priced and properly-positioned property garnered market interest and enthusiasm and contracts were signed as quickly as they could be written. Third quarter brought the juxtaposition of real estate headlines warning of instability, a looming recession and increasing interest rates. Through it all, demand met limited supply, albeit at a slowing pace.  

Buyers are adjusting to the new norm of interest rates by seeking creative financing options and value in their purchases. Sellers are beginning to adjust as well with pricing that is more in-line with buyer expectations. 

Looking ahead to 2023, I anticipate continued stabilization to emerge from this transitional time.  I offer the following tips for buyers and sellers. 

Buyers

• Get excited! Nearly every listing still on the market is owned by a real seller; there are great deals to be had.  

• Start now and see properties and even make offers.  There is far less competition and many buyers still waiting on the sideline.  

Sellers

• Price your property to the market, and you'll get interest and offers. There is less uncertainty than there was a few months ago.  

• Buyers' excitement is directly correlated to their comfort with mortgage rates.  With a rate environment that appears to be softening right now -- and low levels of inventory -- buyers seems to be adjusting.  Therefore, there's no point in waiting for housing prices to recover to 2021 pricing.  Take advantage of buyer interest now.  

• Pay close attention to rate drops -- and stock market upward moves -- as a cue to "catch the wave" of buyers.  Go to market on the heels of one, or both, and you'll see more buyer interest.

These Wines Are The Perfect Bottle To Any Holiday Party

You have 4 holiday parties in 3 days and are unsure what to bring anyone. The perfect gift is one that can be shared together and something you may be able to enjoy yourself, none other than wine! Not sure what to bring for such an occasion, we’ve rounded up the perfect wines for holiday giving.

Yellow Label Fridge Gift Box

The Veuve Clicquot Fridge is an audacious chill box inspired by the refrigerators of the 1950s. Re-edited in collaboration with the pioneering industrial designer SMEG, the Clicquot Fridge is now plastic-free and constructed in recyclable tin, with a removable wedge made from 100% sugarcane waste so that it can be upcycled as a designer box. The Clicquot Fridge keeps any bottle chilled for up to two hours and is infinitely recyclable.

Tenuta Luce, Luce Toscana IGT 2019

Tenuta Luce, Luce Toscana IGT 2019 ($130), is the flagship wine of the Luce estate in Montalcino, Italy. An iconic Super Tuscan wine born in 1993 from the partnership between Napa legend Robert Mondavi and Vittorio Frescobaldi of the historic Marchese de Frescobaldi family empire of Tuscany. Translating to “Light” this powerful, bold blend of Sangiovese and Merlot will delight everyone with its velvety mouthfeel and a deep, complex flavor profile that displays everything from vanilla and cocoa to a fresh cigar box.

The Merry Meiomi Reds

The Merry Meiomi Reds bundle includes three delicious reds from our California-wine portfolio: Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Red Blend. The Cabernet Sauvignon boasts flavors of blackberry, minty herbs, and boysenberry to name a few. The full flavors are highlighted by a plush, velvety mouthfeel with a long finish. Our Pinot Noir is aged for six months in French oak barrels, resulting in an expressive and juicy strawberry flavor with notes of dark berries and toasted mocha. And the newest, the Red Blend, draws you in with its strong flavors of berries, currants, and dark roast mocha, which are accompanied by aromas of toasty oak + vanilla.

Sonoma-Cutrer Rose of Pinot Noir 2021

The 2021 Rosé of Pinot Noir is a beautiful and delicate example of why Russian River Valley Pinot Noir makes a wonderful rosé. The beautiful, light salmon color of the wine catches the light in the glass and opens up with aromas of tangerine, pink grapefruit, strawberry, raspberry and a light hint of rose petal. A crisp, refreshing mouthfeel accentuates the fresh fruit flavors of citrus, red berry fruit with a tropical twist that leads to a long, juicy and tangy finish. It is the perfect warm weather wine to sip on all summer long.

Castello del Terriccio Lupicaia Toscana IGT 2016

Castello del Terriccio Lupicaia Toscana IGT 2016 (SRP $150) is a classic Super Tuscan and one of the most iconic Italian wine bottle labels in history. This blend of mainly Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot debuted in 1993 and has since then received numerous international awards. It is a full-bodied, complex wine, with fine aromas of tobacco, dark fruit, chocolate, and spices. With its elegant tannins and a persistent finish, Lupicaia will age beautifully for a very long time.

San Felice’s Poggio Rosso

This holiday season, you can’t go wrong with an earthy Chianti Classico on your dinner table! San Felice’s Poggio Rosso is the perfect Tuscan choice to serve to your guests all season long. 

This ruby red wine has a nose that releases scents of dried plum, blackberry, and raspberry. With velvety tannins and a judicious acidity on the palate, it is a wine of extraordinary longevity. It pairs well with grills and barbecues, wild game, and aged pecorino cheese.

Not only is this the perfect wine to serve your friends and family, but it also makes a great gift for any wine lover in your life! 

San Felice Vigorello 2018

2018 has began with an early sprouting due to high temperatures in March and April, followed by a fairly rainy May. Temperatures have started to rise again since June; summer temperatures in the norm with scattered rains. The month of September in particular saw a succession of sunny days but with a great thermal excursion between day and night, which allowed the grapes a proper phenolic and aromatic maturation

2021 Edna Valley Pinot Noir

The Pinot Noir grapes come from a highly-coveted vineyard block in Edna Valley, where cooling Pacific night winds create a unique microclimate ideal for ripening. We use low intervention methods championed in old-world regions like Burgundy, resulting in a nuanced and balanced wine that reflects its terroir. Each Juliet Eco-Magnum™ contains two bottles’ worth of wine that stays fresh for six weeks once opened.

Top Hamptons Broker, Kieran M. Brew, Joins the SERHANT. Hamptons Division

Kieran M. Brew

Adding to its team at SERHANT. House Hamptons in Water Mill, the brokerage is proud to announce that Kieran M. Brew, a local, top-producing broker with over $60M in sales and rentals in each of the past several years and more than 15 years of experience has officially joined the SERHANT. Hamptons division. He joins the multidimensional real estate and media company after most recently serving at Saunders & Associates for over six years.

“The real estate business has entered a new era. It is fluid and fast moving; conditions change on a dime. And keeping on top of market conditions requires constant data analysis and wide-ranging market research,” Brew said in a statement. “This is where SERHANT. comes in. I was highly impressed with its well-developed solutions to match every need. It’s a natural fit for me and I expect it’s going to be a lot of fun to help develop this innovative luxury brand even more in the Hamptons.”

Founder and CEO of the brokerage, Ryan Serhant adds, “We are excited to have Kieran join SERHANT. as we continue to grow our footprint out East. As a proven Hamptons and luxury market expert and a trusted advisor in the luxury sector, we are proud to have him aboard.”

This summer, Ryan Serhant’s eponymous real estate brokerage established a bigger presence in the Hamptons with the opening of its Hamptons office location, known as SERHANT. House Hamptons, in Water Mill. SERHANT. brings its Signature division to the Hamptons, which specializes in serving high net worth clients and focuses on properties priced over $10 million with “premium white-glove services, bespoke marketing initiatives and a team of property experts that work exclusively in the high-end luxury market,” the brokerage says.

Brew grew up riding bikes and horses through the backyards, fields and woods out East. He's a volunteer firefighter, a little league coach, and supports many local causes. A solidified Long Islander, he lives in Amagansett and vacations in Montauk. Brew is so ingrained in the Hamptons community, he is the host of the podcast, Brew’s Cafe. Brew notes that the podcast gives him a chance to connect with people and hear about their lives. He’s had the opportunity to interview guests ranging from the East Hampton Chief of Police, to the Superintendent of Schools, the owner/editor of The East Hampton Star, to many others. This venture is also embedded in his career in real estate.

Brew adds, “One of the aspects that I truly cherish is listening to buyer’s stories. People’s homes, even their second and third homes, are not only among their most valuable assets, but their most personal belongings. It becomes not just a pleasure to work with someone selling a summer home where they’ve raised generations, but a privilege. Homeowners bring us into their lives in ways that few other professionals get to appreciate. It’s important that we don’t take that for granted and maintaining these relationships after the sale has closed is an advantage that cannot be overstated.”

SERHANT. is growing its presence not just in the Hamptons, but across Long Island with the Michael Sadis Team and the Rachel King Team.

How To Celebrate National Espresso Day

Annabella Pardo

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. This delicious libation is a best-seller for a reason.
