Finding our new home. Weeks after we lost the apartment of our dreams in a bidding war, that we were told involved about 15 people, we saw another similar apartment on Streeteasy.

We passed the new, “coming soon”, ice cream shop at 204 Sackett and snapped this picture. It’s called Hay Rosie and will serve scoops as well as to-go pints of homemade ice cream.
