Calvin Klein -- scandalizing NYC one neighborhood at a time

Calvin Klein has brought their scandalous billboards uptown to the Madison Ave. — Racked has pictures of the well-oiled, naked men gracing the UES storefront windows. Hopefully we’ll have some of our own to post by the end of today. Has anyone seen the display, and if so, do you have pictures?

Fairway Staking a Claim on the Upper East Side

Fairway Market’s expansion plans for the Big Apple are heating up. The popular grocer is negotiating to lease a space on the Upper East Side, according to real estate sources, bringing its Manhattan store count to three.

The nearly 60,000-square-foot retail space at 240 E. 86th St., between Second and Third avenues, formerly housed an outlet of the now-bankrupt Circuit City and a Barnes & Noble that moved elsewhere in the neighborhood. Sources say competition for the space was heated, with retailers including Whole Foods and Nordstrom Rack vying for a deal. The lease—still under negotiation, the sources caution—is expected to be completed within the next 40 days.

From New York Magazine:
A front-page piece in today’s Times tackles “de-barking,” an elective surgical procedure wherein the dog’s voice box is modified, leaving a raspy, wheezy sound in place of a full-throated bark. Featured is a dachshund-terrier mix called Nestlé, whose “vocal cords were cut by a veterinary surgeon after a neighbor in the family’s apartment building on the Upper East Side threatened to complain to the co-op board about the noisy dog.”

Ah, the world of Upper East Side co-ops. Has anyone dealt with a similar experience?
