The Wall Street Journal, in this handy little graphic that originally ran in print yesterday, proves that you'll soon be able to accomplish most important expensive things in life around the same street that gives the paper its name: Make your i-bank million(s), move into a luxury condo, go on some dates at the local sushi joint, woo him/her with gifts from Hermes, seal the deal with a Tiffany's ring, have the reception at Cipriani's, and then drive away in a new BMW with platinum-plated tin cans rattling off the back. Who could ask for anything more?

KELLER SHELTER
PER Se owner/chef Thomas Keller now has a place in New York to hang his toque. California-based Keller just plunked down $1.5 million in the Armani Casa-designed building 20 Pine St. downtown. He's now neighbors with Nancy and Sid Ganis, head of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, who paid $2.1 million for a two-bedroom apartment and half that for a one-bedroom in the same building (for guests). Meanwhile, radio psychiatrist Joy Browne paid a whopping $4.5 million for the penthouse.

There's less and less cheap places for us working stiffs to eat down here.
Screw it.
I was made fun of a few days ago for speaking with a NY accent. Jealousy.

I guess this will bolster those yahoos who keep claiming that the Financial District will become tne next Soho...assuming people will enjoy paying $1300+ maintenance each and every month.

Oh, you know the saying about Wall Street, there's a church at one end and a cemetery at the other.

Or something like that.

I forget my point.
