Checking Out a New Upper West Sider; NYC Livability Summit

UPPER WEST SIDE?We've seen plenty of renders of 208 West 96th Street, the newish Upper West Side building that looks a bit like a subway station and serves a mean frittata. Photog Will Femia wandered by the building recently and snapped this photo. There are $11,000/month apartments inside. [CurbedWire Staff]

NEW YORK CITY?Easing us into Open House New York weekend is another event this Thursday and Friday, the Municipal Art Society's Summit for NYC. There are 75 speakers on topics like NYC's livability, rebuilding aging public spaces, and the preservation of public housing. Go forth and sit through panels! [CurbedWire Inbox]
