The New York Times ventures outside NYC, documenting the spread of Trump-ish luxury in New Jersey. Plus, there are some mammoth plans for Yonkers: $3.6 billion will buy 1,900 feet of the Saw Mill River, and a development nearly the size of the Atlantic Yards. (NYT)
Keeping with his colorful history of hatefulness, Jay McInerney brags about getting into the Spotted Pig, talks parenthetically about his hangovers, and then puts down Corner Bistro. (House + Garden)
A new Architect Magazine website has been launched! Party time. Our multi-month wait has been rewarded with three new blogs, included a doozy named "A Day in the Life of an Architect." (Architect Online)
Remember the mysterious mansion at 11 Spring Street? It seems Lachlan Murdoch's old 14,000-square-foot digs is about to get a makeover from Soho's coolest street-art group. (Click for more pictures). (Wooster Collective, via Gothamist)
Speaking of memories, today's Times piece on the Upper West Side's doomed P&G bar is quite reminiscent of a piece written by our very own Chris Shott. Oh well. (NYT)
