After much anticipation, Rishtedar opened its doors in its first U.S location in the heart of Miami’s arts district in Wynwood at 232 NW 24th St. Miami, FL 33127. Rishtedar boasts an exotic menu of masalas and kebabs all created with traditional spices boasting an authentic introduction to Indian delicacy. As far as foodie history goes, few come close to the five-thousand-year-old history Indian dishes boast; making most recipes extremely difficult to recreate at home with layered and precise techniques.

Guests can look forward to an authentic Indian experience upon walking in, starting with the placing of a bindi applied between the eyebrows on the forehead inviting guests to embrace the culture for a fully immersive experience to ending with a “finger bowl” for hand washing at the table with lemon, cardamom and rose water – to cleanse the oil away from your hands.

The menu features a section of starters and shared plates separated on the menu into sections for vegetarian, chicken, kebabs and tandoor, seafood, lamb and of course, accompaniments of naan, rice and sweet traditional desserts to top it off. The dishware comes embellished with gold accents and interactive table-side presentations. 

Examples of signature dishes include:

Designed by Mico Design & Co. with Gino Falcone, their aim was to represent the rich culture of India through the ambiance of the space creating an environment that transports guests into Indian culture, enhancing the experience of dining with friends and family. They focused on highlighting the most emblematic elements of the culture, such as vibrant colors and textures. The lamps were inspired by the attire of Indian women, the VIP area recreates the classic image of the Holi celebration, using tulle to represent the colorful powder. A modern take on traditional facades of Indian architecture boasts mirrors and arches carefully integrated into the design. Rishtedar currently spans over 2,600 square feet including the patio, main dining room and VIP area upstairs comfortably accommodating 88 seats, with plans to open a full bar totaling to 4,360 square feet with 168 seats.

At the helm of Rishtedar’s authentic Indian cuisine experience is Vikram Thadani, who was born Chilean to Indian parents. What started as an import business soon developed into a mission to bring authentic Indian cuisine to Chile, where most of the population is unfamiliar with true Indian flavor. “Creating an experience that captures my heritage and can serve as an introduction to Indian culture was our aim behind Rishtedar. Rishtedar means “family,” and as soon as our diners step foot in here we like to expose them to as many traditions giving a piece of our culture paired with scrumptious tastings of bona fide Indian cuisine.”

Rishtedar’s operating hours will be open for lunch service from 12 p.m. - 3 p.m. and dinner service from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and open for lunch from 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. and dinner 5 p.m. - 11 p.m. Friday through Sunday.

This combo unit deal is believed to be amongst the most expensive transactions ever recorded above 59th Street on the Upper East Side and broke the record for the highest PPSF in this part of the city, with a blended sellout of over $4,000 per square foot. The impressive quadruplex penthouse is the first residence to close at The Bellemont.

Located on the corner of Madison Avenue and 86th Street and just one block from Central Park, the 13-story, Robert A.M. Stern Architects-designed building creates a new architectural legacy on the Upper East Side. Reminiscent of the neighborhood’s distinct elegance, The Bellemont features a stately hand-laid Indiana limestone and iron-work façade and welcomes its residences through intricate metalwork doors. Inside, it boasts a collection of 11 elegant homes ranging from half-floor, full-floor, duplex and penthouse residences.

The Bellemont marks internationally acclaimed interior designer Achille Salvagni’s first full-building residential project inclusive of the residences and shared amenity spaces. Having also designed the jewel box lobby and cinema at Naftali’s condominium on Madison Avenue, The Benson, Salvagni – who is known for his work on super-luxury yachts and high-end private residential projects around the world – graced The Bellemont with exquisite details and contemporary conveniences throughout. The Bellemont features balanced interiors that play up the grand scale of residences and create special moments within each of the curated amenity spaces.

Complementing the building’s classical masonry façade, the residences’ grand proportions, soaring ceiling heights and views of Central Park through monumental windows, make these vast homes a notable addition to the city’s architectural history. Select residences feature private entry foyers, custom-designed limestone fireplaces and generous private outdoor spaces with custom-designed railings and detailing.

Residents of The Bellemont enjoy a generous array of amenities for wellness, leisure and entertainment. The offering includes a state-of-the-art fitness center, a private cinema with a wet bar, an inspired children’s playroom, a regulation squash court and a rooftop lounge with expansive Central Park views. The exquisite lobby at The Bellemont, which features custom-designed terrazzo floors with white marble leaf inlays, a beautiful ceiling with integrated lighting and a custom chandelier along with bespoke furnishings by Salvagni, will be attended 24 hours with a doorman and concierge.

Situated in one of the most highly coveted and pristine enclaves of the Upper East Side, The Bellemont is surrounded by picturesque streets and beautiful townhouse blocks, with New York’s iconic Central Park just moments away. Manhattan’s famed cultural institutions such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Guggenheim and The Frick Collection are also nearby, as well as Madison and Fifth Avenue shopping destinations.

The Bellemont also features prime retail space located on the ground floor of the luxury condominium with incredible ceiling heights. Beth Rosen and Emily Kripitz Simmonds of RIPCO Real Estate are currently handling the leasing and sale efforts.

A Guide to Renters Insurance Coverage in New York City

Renting a home or apartment can be a practical and affordable housing option, especially in New York City, where owning a home is not always feasible. However, many renters need to pay more attention to the importance of renters insurance coverage, assuming that the landlord's insurance policy covers their belongings. 

Unfortunately, such policies do not cover renters' personal belongings, making it crucial for renters to have their own renters insurance coverage. This guide aims to provide an overview of renters insurance coverage in New York City.

What Is Renters Insurance Coverage?

Renters insurance coverage is a type of insurance policy that protects a renter's personal property against damage or loss. It covers the cost of replacing or repairing the renter's belongings in the event of theft, fire, or other covered perils. 

Additionally, it covers personal liability in case someone is injured on the renter's property. Renters insurance coverage is not mandatory in New York City but is highly recommended.

Importance of Renters Insurance Coverage

It protects the renter's personal belongings, including furniture, electronics, clothing, and other valuable items. 

Moreover, it covers personal liability if someone is injured on the renter's property or if the renter causes damage to someone else's property. 

Finally, it provides additional living expenses if the renter is forced to move out temporarily due to a covered peril. Renters insurance coverage is affordable, with policies starting at as little as $10 per month.

What Does Renters Insurance Coverage Cover?

1. Personal Property

This includes furniture, electronics, clothing, jewelry, and other personal belongings. Coverage is provided against damage or loss due to theft, fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, vandalism, smoke, and water damage.

2. Liability

This covers the renter's legal responsibility for bodily injury or property damage to others. For example, if a guest slips and falls in the renter's apartment, the renter's liability coverage would pay for the guest's medical bills.

3. Additional Living Expenses

This covers the renter's additional living expenses if they are forced to move out temporarily due to a covered peril. This may include hotel bills, meals, and other related costs.

What Renters Insurance Coverage Does Not Cover?

• Flood

• Earthquake

• Intentional Damage

Filing a Claim

When filing a claim for renters insurance coverage, renters should follow the following steps:

1. Contact the insurance provider immediately after the loss or damage occurs.

2. Provide the insurance provider with a detailed description of the loss or damage and any supporting documents, such as receipts or photos.

3. Cooperate with the insurance provider's investigation of the claim.

4. Keep track of all expenses related to the claim.

5. Follow up with the insurance provider to ensure the claim is processed promptly.

Conclusion

Renters insurance coverage is essential for renters in New York City. It protects personal belongings, liability, and provides additional living expenses in case of a covered peril. Renters should choose an insurance provider with adequate coverage, good customer service, and affordable rates. 

In case of loss or damage, renters should file a claim promptly and provide all necessary information to the insurance provider. With renters insurance coverage, renters can have peace of mind knowing that their personal belongings are protected.

Chef Shaun Hergatt, the executive chef and owner behind some of New York’s most famed Michelin-starred restaurants both public and private, including Vestry in Soho and 432 Park Avenue respectively, is renowned for his technically precise cooking and painterly presentations. Nota at The Perigon will be Hergatt’s first-ever Mediterranean concept, while FiftyThree, a speakeasy cocktail lounge, will have a bold, playful style.

“We are designing more than a condominium at The Perigon, it is a private, highly serviced five- star resort exclusively for the owners,” said Camilo Miguel, Jr., CEO of Mast Capital. “The Perigon is offering Miami Beach’s first-ever resident-only Michelin-starred chef dining concept, where residents can enjoy their privacy or mix and mingle with their neighbors. Additionally, our partnership with such a notable chef as Shaun Hergatt further solidifies the commitment to the quality of luxury, The Perigon will offer to its residents.”

Taking advantage of the oceanfront location and abundance of rich, local ingredients, Nota at The Perigon is centered around a clean, crisp palate. With seafood anchoring the Mediterranean- inspired menu, Chef Hergatt plans to use woodfire grilling techniques to create dishes that are elevated yet approachable, with health and wellness at the forefront.

“Food brings people together and through this partnership with Mast Capital, I’m thrilled and honored to further elevate the experience for the residents at The Perigon,” said Chef Shaun Hergatt. “Paying homage to the regional flavors and ingredients, our rotating seasonal menus will offer an elevated yet approachable cuisine, exclusive to residents and their guests.”

The interiors of Nota were designed by Tara Bernerd to blend into the larger residential concept at The Perigon. The design will incorporate rich materials from intricate stones to linens. The furniture will integrate a unique combination of organic materials with subtle hues that cohesively blend to the environment of coastal living on the sands of Miami Beach. The oceanfront restaurant will accommodate up to 70 guests, with service extending to the pool deck.

The speakeasy, FiftyThree, will experiment with bold colors and patterns, embracing a whiskey- themed palate. Darker browns and greens will set a more intimate mood, featuring bronze fixtures and accents creating the perfect nighttime setting. The cocktails will also embody the more playful aesthetic, while focusing on fresh ingredients and creative curations.

Photo via The Boundary and @theperigonmiamibeach

The Perigon’s food and beverage concept represents Chef Hergatt’s triumphant return to South Florida. Chef Hergatt first debuted in Miami in 2005 when he was the executive chef at The Setai Miami Beach. Hailing from Australia but having worked at restaurants around the world garnering international accolades for culinary craftsmanship, Chef Hergatt is known for two of his Michelin- star restaurants, Juni and Vestry, and previously SHO Shaun Hergatt, which garnered acclaim for its geographically inspired dishes. Today, one of Chef Hergatt’s many restaurants is the Caviar Bar in Las Vegas. Many of his most famed dishes are inspired by his travels and surroundings, an approach he will bring to The Perigon.

Completing the culinary experience at The Perigon will be several additional private amenity spaces for dining and lounging. An indoor-outdoor conservatory doubling as a breakfast lounge and terrace will host residents for their early morning coffee. Here, a barista will be available upon request to serve hot or iced coffee to a resident’s liking. Residents can also request meals be delivered directly to their private residence or to their poolside cabana.

Further elevating the experience at The Perigon is a new private concierge partnership with BHB Private Concierge, a premium provider servicing private properties and clients. In addition to offering residents seamless experiences tailored to their individual wants and needs, the concierge at The Perigon will further enhance the programming throughout the amenity suites.

Buying a Home in NYC: Move-In Ready or Fixer Upper?

When it comes to buying a home in New York City, there are many factors to consider, including location, size, and price. But one of the most important decisions you'll need to make is whether to go for a move-in ready property or a fixer-upper. 

Both options have their pros and cons, and the right choice for you will depend on your personal preferences, budget, and lifestyle. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the advantages and disadvantages of each option to help you make an informed decision.

Move-In Ready: Pros and Cons

A move-in ready property is one that requires little to no renovation or repairs. These homes are typically in good condition and are ready for you to move in and start enjoying right away. Here are some of the pros and cons of buying a move-in ready home in NYC:

Pros:

1. Convenience: You don't have to worry about the hassle and stress of renovating a property before you can move in.

2. Time-saving: With a move-in ready home, you can move in right away, without waiting for renovations to be completed.

3. Predictable Costs: Since the property is already in good condition, you'll know exactly what you're getting into in terms of costs and won't have to worry about unexpected expenses.

Cons:

1. Higher Cost: Move-in ready homes generally come with a higher price tag, as you're paying for the convenience of not having to renovate the property yourself.

2. Less Customization: With a move-in ready home, you may have to settle for someone else's design choices and may not be able to make the changes you want without costly renovations.

Fixer Upper: Pros and Cons

A fixer-upper is a property that requires renovation or repairs. These homes are typically priced lower than move-in ready properties but require more time and money to get them into a livable condition. Here are some of the pros and cons of buying a fixer-upper home in NYC:

Pros:

1. Lower cost: Fixer-upper properties are typically priced lower than move-in-ready homes, making them more affordable for first-time buyers.

2. Customization: With a fixer-upper, you have the opportunity to make the home your own by choosing your own design elements and making the changes you want.

3. Potential for Profit: If you're willing to put in the time and effort to renovate a fixer-upper, you may be able to sell it for a profit in the future.

Cons:

1. Time-consuming: Renovating a fixer-upper can be time-consuming, as you'll need to coordinate with contractors and oversee the work being done.

2. Uncertainty: With a fixer-upper, you never know what surprises may lurk behind the walls, leading to unexpected expenses and delays.

3. Stressful: Renovating a fixer-upper can be a stressful process, as you'll need to make a lot of decisions and deal with the inevitable setbacks that come with any renovation project.

Which Option is Right for You?

Ultimately, deciding between a move-in ready property and a fixer-upper comes down to your personal preferences, budget, and lifestyle. If you're looking for a home that's ready to move into right away and you're willing to pay a higher price tag for that convenience, a move-in ready property may be the right choice for you. On the other hand, if you're willing to put in the time and effort to renovate a property and you're looking for a more affordable option, a fixer-upper may be the way to go.

It's also important to consider your lifestyle and how much time and energy you're willing to put into renovating a property. If you have a busy schedule and don't want to deal with the stress and uncertainty of a renovation project, a move-in ready home may be the best choice for you. But if you enjoy DIY projects and have the time and energy to invest in a fixer-upper, it could be a rewarding experience that results in a home you truly love.

Conclusion

Whether you choose a move-in ready property or a fixer-upper, buying a home in New York City is a big decision that requires careful consideration. By weighing the pros and cons of each option and considering your personal preferences and lifestyle, you can make an informed decision that will result in a home you'll love for years to come.
