You might be having a rough morning, but it can’t be as bad as whatever the finance guys who agreed to be photographed for Interview are going through this morning. My first thought when I saw the headline: I don’t think the finest men in finance are agreeing to be photographed on the stairs of Delmonico’s. My second thought: I don’t think the finest men in finance are complaining to the press about how expensive New York is. Regardless I am proud of these men for putting themselves out there, and I hope their comms teams are gentle with them today.
Today’s letter includes: Los Angeles is getting a 55,000-square-foot bathhouse, Anna Delvey’s former proposed members club is back on the market, and Feed Me’s Anonymous Transit Expert emerged from hibernation to report on the pipe dream bridge from Connecticut to Long Island.
- On March 19th, Equinox members will be able to indulge in Le Labo-scented showers.
- What a fantastic Reddit thread debating the front row at IMAX Lincoln Square. One person said, “It’s literally against the Geneva convention.”
- I went down a 281 Park Ave South hole this morning. The historic Beaux-Arts building is back on the market for $100 million (down from $135 million), and includes the now-closed Stephen Starr restaurant Veronika gallery spaces, and Chapel Bar. I didn’t realize the building was commissioned by J. P. Morgan and Cornelius Vanderbilt. I did know that in New York Magazine’s 2018 story about Anna Delvey, the address was floated as the potential headquarters for the Anna Delvey Foundation.
