I lived in an incredible apartment in the West Village of New York City.
It was documented in some photographs that I want to share here.

I miss that spot. It was so nice. It was home for many years. Here are some memories of it in this article.
Nick’s note: I wrote up a bunch of my favorite spots in this neighborhood on my New York City tips and tricks article that you can view here.

Artwork
My apartment wasn’t just a place I could call home at the end of the day—it was a canvas for unique artwork that reflected my personality and interests. Three pieces, in particular, stood out:
- Pixelated Mona Lisa: A modern twist on da Vinci’s masterpiece. I commissioned this from a local artist friend based on something I saw online.
- An Island in Maine: My friend Noah Kalina took this photo from a bachelor party that I hosted here for Zach Klein.
- Above the Bed: A reproduction of one of my favorite paintings. I had this made in China and framed in NYC.
These pieces not only decorated the space but also served as great conversation starters during gatherings. Now they’re sitting in storage at my friend Adam’s house in New Jersey. I miss them.

It’s the one with the red door – on the left. Located at 27 West 10th Street, New York, NY 10011, this apartment was my home base in the busy Greenwich Village neighborhood. I loved it.

When I first moved in, the apartment was a blank slate—bare walls and minimal furniture. It was featured in New York Magazine, where journalist Wendy Goodman captured its stark beginnings. I was roasted in the comments.
Conclusion
My apartment at 27 West 10th Street was more than just a living space—it was a backdrop for creativity, connection, and city life. I hosted a ton of parties here, too.

- Location is everything: Greenwich Village provided the perfect setting for urban living. I loved living near Washington Square Park.
- Art tells a story: Carefully chosen pieces can transform a space and spark conversations.

- Personalization takes time: From bare walls to a curated space, making a house a home is a journey. Thank you to the many interior designers and friends who each added input.
I hope this short read gave you a glimpse into the charm of Manhattan living. It’s not all bad! There are gems among the skyscrapers.
