In an effort to level up and make your experience more personalized, I switched email platforms. Unfortunately, we ran into some tech hiccups along the way, and now all my emails are being sent to spam. Now Iâm in inbox jail, slowly rebuilding my sender reputationâone awesome reader at a time.

I greatly appreciate your support and wanted to personally thank you for being a core part of this community! The silver lining? Iâm learning, evolving, and committed to making The Edit better than ever.
Now, without further ado, letâs get back to regular programming, serving your weekly dose of real estate, culture, and wisdomâall in three minutes or less. Letâs dive in.
Real Estate RemixÂ
NYCâs priciest home has hit the market. The âquadplexâ penthouse at 111 West 57th St is listed for $110M; itâs the skinniest skyscraper on the planet and the second-tallest residential building in the U.S. (the first is Central Park Tower). Every unit inside Steinway Tower takes up one full floor, but Penthouse 80 takes up the top four floors, earning it the unique title of a quadplexâa rarity in NYC. The five-bed residence spans a whopping 11,480 SF plus 618 SF of terrace space, which teeters 1,000 feet above the sidewalk! Thereâs an entertainment suite, sunset lounge, private internal elevator, and crown suite with a screening room, space for billiards, and a full bar. Iâm not gonna lie, the terrace doesnât exactly sound appealing to me, but wow, this home is fly!Â
NYC Insider: Whatâs Happening This WeekÂ
This new art exhibit in DUMBO looks so dope! Titled âKeff Joonsâ (an obvious play on Jeff Koonsâ and a nod to the artistsâ iconic balloon sculptures), artist CJ Hendry invites anyone with a sense of humor and play to interact with her massive balloon knot installation. Featuring 50 oversized balloons, the gallery space has been transformed into a whimsical playground. Who said only kids got to play? The exhibit only runs until April 20th, so Iâd try to get there ASAP! Open from 10 AM-5 PM at 50 Gold Street.Â

Be âBout That Action!
Itâs easy to get stuck in research modeâdownloading information, watching videos, and reading everything you can. We do this when we want to understand something better, gather intel, or simply to dig deeper. Itâs so easy to get into a rabbit hole of informationâŠbut at some point, youâve got to move and actually apply what youâve learned. Donât get stuck in the learning loop! Start applying, start refining. Remember: progress lives in action! Be âbout that action!Â
