MY NEW YORKWendy Maitland & Ginger Brokaw
Brought to you by the Atelier team, MY NEW YORK is your insider take on the happenings of New York. Welcome to your most relevant and fun information guide to the New York City real estate market.
We feature off-market and luxury properties, special blogs by and about iconic New Yorkers we know and love, and interviews with emerging and established cultural icons. We integrate architecture, art, music, fashion, food, technology, history, events and more.
Established in 2017 by NYC real estate industry veterans, Atelier/Brown Harris Stevens is a luxury new division with a brand vision stemming from first-hand experience and a multi-generational local, national and international client base. We have a deep understanding of who and what drives markets, and which market niches are positioned for growth, expansion and increasing value. Our market is driven by constantly shifting demographics and cultures. Therefore, we are in the business of people as much as real estate. Our focus is not on what’s happening today, but on what’s coming tomorrow, next month, next quarter and annual changes that indicate trends that enable us to best guide our clients to maximize happiness and profitability. This is achieved through careful analysis of each of NYC’s micro-markets and by experience-driven interpretation of the impact of emerging and future real estate, global and local economic forces, and cultural trends, combined with astute awareness of YOUR priorities.

"I do not regard a broker as a member of the human race." -Honore de Balzac
Does Balzac’s sentiment resonate with you? If you buy or sell real estate, whether for yourself, as an investment, or if you’re a developer and reading this, and you’ve questioned the value of a great broker’s representation, you’re about to become enlightened.

ANTICA PESA- In 1922, the Panella family opened a restaurant in the a small Roman neighborhood, Trastevere, and named it Antica Pesa (The Old Scales) in support of the generosity of their fellow countrymen. Generations later, in 2012, the family opened an outpost in Williamsburg Brooklyn, located at 115 Berry Street, paying homage to their Roman home. The ambiance in this Brooklyn gem is unmatched and is one of our favorite restaurants in the world.

ANDO- Restaurateur David Chang opened up delivery-only restaurant last year, Ando. This week, however, the restaurant is getting a fast-casual storefront downtown. Located at 31 West 14th St. (bw. 5th and 6th ave), CEO Andy Taylor describes his new restaurant as a Pret-style restaurant. You can grab-and-go for cold food, or order hot food at the counter. Knowing David Chang, and the consitent quality he puts out, this will surely not disappoint.
