Quality, Perfection (and perhaps a terrace!) This gorgeous renovated home exudes style and is perfectly located in the hippest part of the East Village only 1 1/2 blocks from Tompkins Square Park. Meticulously designed by Tetsu O'Hara, this home boasts subtle carefully placed angles that invoke intrigue as you examine the space more closely. The sleek hand crafted wall cabinet provides a clear focal point and is backlight for evening ambience. The exposed brick adds warmth and the three exposures add natural light. The beautiful kitchen features maple cabinets, Corian counters, a Miele cooktop and a showpiece Grohe faucet. The windowed bathroom is classic white with a green glass tile border and there is a walk in closet in the master bedroom. This is an exceptional opportunity to possibly acquire rights to build a private deck on an adjacent 10x12 ft outdoor space (subject to board approval).
Babeland is partnering with the Young Survival Coalition, a non-profit dedicated to helping breast cancer survivors, to raise money for their programs throughout the month of October. Over a quarter of a million women under the age of 40 have breast cancer and they face higher mortality rates, fertility issues and the possibility of early menopause.
During Pink October, Babeland is dedicating 10% of the sales of a select group of products to the Young Survival Coalition. Among the toys featured are the popular Form 2 and Rabbit Pearl vibrators, the Rose G-spotter, and a Candy G-string. The makers of our most popular personal lubricant, Sliquid, created a new flavored lube, Pink Lemonade just for this fundraiser. As an added incentive, customers receive a FREE Babeland Buzz mini-vibe with the purchase of any of these toys. A full list of the toys can be seen here.
Babeland’s Come for a Cause program is our way of giving back and letting our customers help support organizations with missions that are compatible with Babeland’s mission and values. So far in 2010, Babeland raised more than $10,000 for grist.org, a “beacon in the smog” environmental news website, and more than $17,000 for SIECUS, the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States, among other things.

With this latest expansion, N.Y.U. is trying harder than ever before to present a friendly face to a neighborhood that for decades has rallied against its development projects. The anger about N.Y.U.’s expansion focuses on the insistence of the university — an entity whose profile is increasingly global, and corporate — that it belongs in the Village, one of the few places in Manhattan, as long-time Villagers say, where you can still see the sky.
Hurley is N.Y.U.’s primary ambassador to its neighbors, and when she descends from the 12th floor of Bobst, she carries that chilly corporatism with her, in the form of a coterie of lawyers, sharp PowerPoint presentations, and bland, purposeful phrases to describe plans that will mean, in some cases, tearing down homes.
