Prime Property | NY | 22 Central Park South - 3rd Floor
Direct Central Park views from this full-floor, luxurious residence with two bedrooms, an office, three baths and direct elevator access, which is offered fully furnished for lease. The focal point of the 3rd Floor (approximately 2,021 square feet) at 22 Central Park South is the oversized picture window, flanked by two casement windows with Juliette balconies, facing Central Park. The expansive living and dining room features a nine-foot, coffered ceiling, walnut herringbone hardwood floors with intarsia detailing, recessed lighting and a decorative, mosaic-tiled fireplace.

Central Park South's unique property between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, 22 Central Park South offers its residents discretion and privacy that is exceedingly rare within the heart of Manhattan. The brief journey from the building entrance to the 3rd Floor is also elegant and seamless: Pass through the marble-clad lobby, with full-time concierge service, to the elevator directly to the 3rd Floor entry foyer. Originally built in 1907, 22 Central Park South was redesigned by Goldstein Hill and West Architects in 2014 to meet the requirements of contemporary living while retaining its landmarked status.

Surrounded by the cultural destinations of MoMA (Museum of Modern Art), the Museum of Arts and Design and Carnegie Hall and by boutique shopping along Madison Avenue, Fifth Avenue and at Columbus Circle, neighborhood Michelin-starred dining includes Masa, Marea, Caviar Russe, The Modern and Aquavit. Whole Foods and the 57th Street Greenmarket on Wednesdays and Saturdays source fresh, organic and seasonal produce. Spa, wellness and fitness options on Central Park South include Exhale, Pure Barre, Guerlain Spa, Equinox and the New York Athletic Club.
Prime Property | NY | Turtle Bay | Beekman | 1928 Studio
Southwestern exposure, windows in every room and a polished stone, Art Deco, wood-burning fireplace make for a charming city residence in this prewar (1928) studio in historic, tree-lined Beekman within the serene Turtle Bay neighborhood.

Completed in 1928 in the Renaissance Revival style, Stewart Hall, a pet-friendly community, offers residents an elegant lobby with full-time door staff, a laundry room, bike storage and additional storage. The splendid, landscaped rooftop, enjoyed by Henri Matisse and other residents and visitors over the years, offers 360-degree picture postcard views of the East River, the United Nations, the Chrysler Building and the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge. Carefully tended floral and herbal gardens are interspersed with seating areas and offer quietude in the heart of the city.
Recipe | Italy | Cassata Siciliana
The queen of Sicilian pastry making, the name Cassata probably comes from Arabic qas’at, “basin”, maybe for its round shape, or from Latin caseum, cheese, because it is filled with ricotta cheese. Cassata siciliana is able to pay homage to so many of the best ingredients of the island in just one bite--sweetened ricotta (sheep’s milk, by tradition), sponge cake, marzipan and candied fruit.

For those who do not like the sumptuous decorations and the very sweet taste of this dessert, garnished with icing and colorful candied fruits, there is an older, even more original version. The baked cassata, mostly widespread in Palermo, is a shortcrust pastry and sponge cake dessert with a filling of ricotta, sugar and chocolate drops and baked in the oven.

NY | Fourth of July | Macy's Fireworks on the East River
On Sunday, July 4, beginning at 9:25pm, over 65,000 shells will be launched off five different barges on the East River. The extravaganza will last 25 minutes and feature, according to Macy's itself, "dozens of colors and shapes, creating dramatic effects a mile across the river and from 1,000 feet in the air to the water's edge. 

The happening will also be broadcast on NBC between 8-10pm and will also feature some super-exciting opening acts, including Black Pumas, Coldplay, OneRepublic and Reba McEntire. Although it's not yet clear whether the artists will actually be performing live from New York, we do know that Tori Kelly is scheduled to sing "You'll Never Walk Alone" from the musical Carousel and that the Broadway Inspirational Voices will treat us to their own version of "Lift Every Voice and Sing."  
DC | Fourth of July | Fireworks on the National Mall
The National Park Service will once again host the annual Independence Day fireworks celebration on the National Mall, the nation’s most important civic space and home to more than a dozen memorials that commemorate great Americans and significant events in our nation’s history. The 17-minute display will be held on Sunday, July 4, starting at 9:09pm and will be launched from both sides of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
