Sometimes less is more, and that seems to be the case with this cozy little nook of a home office at 27 Prospect Park West.
A streamlined extension of the kitchen, it features beautiful built-ins for books and supplies that make us feel more organized and productive just by looking at it.
Dear Recent Grads,
I'm proud that you have decided to take the plunge and move to NYC so soon after graduation. Rest assured, the summer is young, the Madison Square Park free concerts will soon begin (Bryant Park movies already have), and you will have the time of your life in the city that never sleeps.
First, though, you need to find an apartment.
This sleek and modern kitchen at 420 East 51st Street is a diamond in the rough of NYC apartment hunting.
Sip an early morning coffee or a late-night margarita on the expansive private roof-deck of this UES co-op on 78th between 1st and 2nd Avenues. Recently lowered to just under $1 million, this two-bedroom, 1.5 bathroom property seems like a steal at this almost-summertime time of year.
I originally moved to NYC for a magazine internship, but now that it’s over and my sublet will be over in a matter of months, I need to start thinking about my next move.
I essentially have five options: buy a cheap apartment and make monthly payments on a 7-year mortgage, rent a cheap place by myself, commit to another sublet situation, explore the possibility of becoming a live-in nanny with rent covered, or move away.
Obviously I want to stay, but I need to figure out the most cost-effective way to do so.

Scrape your pennies together for this 9,000 square-foot, 5-story Greenwich Village townhouse on West 9th Street,'cause it'll cost you $75,000 a month to rent.
