My friend is on assignment in NYC, and she sent this shot of Central Park taken from an office window.

Beautiful! I always wondered what Central Park looked like. I have heard a lot about it but had no idea how pretty it is.

great shot of the skyline. I don't know if I would want to be up that high! I see they still have some snow there! We just got rid of ours this week, thanks to an unusual few warm days.(Chicago area)

Best store for purchase/install Miele in New York City
Q
Comments (4)
Appliances Connection (appliancesconnection.com) sells Miele. The Miele wtv 502 stacking kit is not compatible with the T8003. You can buy the WWF060WCS 24" Washer, TWF160WP 24" Electric Dryer and WTV502 Stacking Kit as a set but you don't save any money. You can use these appliances with a 220 volt 4-wire outlet using this adapter: https://www.designerappliances.com/miele-nemaadapter.html. The Miele compact washer and dryer are top-rated by CR. I bought a LG dryer from Appliances Connection and delivery to DC went fine (I installed it myself).

PTAC replacement in New York City
Q
Comments (5)
I have no experience with PTAC or this company. I found them and offered it as a suggestion. The equipment you have is made by Trane. I am not sure what equipment they sell. This type of equipment somewhat specialized. Therefore it is important you find an installer who has experience installing PTACs. Perhaps they would be willing to provide a reference of someone who lives in your building. Here is another PTAC installer in NYC if you want a second quote.

HOUSE TOUR: Modern Gentleman's Charming New York City Apartment
Q
Comments (14)
He’s delightful and so gracious. I want to be a guest at one of his parties. Love his definition of ’modern gentleman’. I’m with him on the step down living room, I’ve always wanted one. We had one in a house when I was a kid, so it feels nostalgic. :) Since the building is a pre-war, I was hoping to see a bathroom. Wonder if it has any original features. I really enjoy the family heirloom aspect of these videos. Thanks, Gizmo!

Great picture....we were there in December but there was no snow.
We are going back in May so I will take lots of pics to share. Our new grandson lives in Manhattan with his parents....not far from Central Park.

Central Park is one of the Great American Spaces. It's huge, beautiful, perfectly planned out by Olmsted, and used by millions of people for a wide variety of activities. My brother in law lived in Manhattan and we always visited the park when we were there.

Actually, I don't think there's a formal list of great American spaces, but there should be. Might be a good topic for a posting...
Central Park.
Grand Canyon.
Chicago - where the big fountain is by the lake.
Las Vegas strip - whether you think it's ugly or beautiful, you can't deny that it's a gathering place for America.
Probably Times Square.
New Orleans - once and future, hopefully.

What else?

Excellent picture! NYC is my hometown, but I've lived in the country for a long time now. I look at that shot and think that Central Park is the only part that makes any sense. :-)
