Month: March 2021

Spring is in the air, and after a year spent sheltering indoors, New Yorkers are itching to get back into the swing of outdoor activities. Residents at Sessanta, the no-fee apartments in Manhattan from Algin Management, have access to a suite of private indoor and outdoor amenities centered around a professional-grade tennis court, a rare offering in the heart of NYC. Come with us on a comprehensive tour of the fitness, wellness, and recreation amenities that Sessanta residents can enjoy every day!

Sessanta’s amenity package* begins with its full-sized tennis court, which features a US Open-style finish and is surrounded by a charming English garden, transporting players temporarily away from the hustle and bustle of the Upper West Side. Experienced players will love having access to a private court just an elevator ride away, while novices and those who need a little help with their backhand are able to reserve court time and private lessons via Tennis Innovators, which connects tennis pros with learners of all ages and skill levels and brings them together at the Sessanta court.

Of course, residents who prefer other forms of exercise won’t be left out of the loop. Sessanta is home to a suite of health and wellness amenities, including a 40-foot, temperature-controlled indoor lap pool, a fully equipped fitness center with 30,000 square feet worth of cardio machines and weights, and a dedicated yoga and Pilates studio. Within these spaces, residents have their choice of web-enabled spin classes via Peloton bikes, peaceful meditation in the quiet yoga studio, and intense lap swimming, all without leaving the comfort of their building.

However, spring is about more than keeping your New Year’s resolution to hit the gym. At Sessanta, residents have access to a range of outdoor spaces designed to help make the most of balmy weather. In addition to the English garden, where the pop-pop of nearby tennis play creates a sophisticated ambiance, residents have access to the courtyard garden, a spacious, peaceful oasis, where perennial plantings create an atmosphere that’s perfect for some quiet reading time or a picnic with friends and family.

In addition to unmatched amenities, the building’s concierge and staff are ready to help with everything from a last-minute dinner reservation to a long-term parking solution. Just beyond the front door await the many attractions and conveniences of Manhattan’s Upper West Side. With all of this in mind, why not spend this spring making the most of life at Sessanta?

March is Women’s History Month, which gives us a chance to reflect on those who have changed our lives personally and transformed the world. Since 1987, March has been a time to highlight innovative, creative, and revolutionary women. Throughout the year, Algin Management seeks to appreciate, commemorate, and amplify the voices of all the fearless women on our team, in our social circles, and in our families. 

In fact, the founder of Algin, Albert Ginsberg, was so affected and inspired by the women in his family that he chose to name some of the most enchanting and alluring NYC no-fee rentals buildings in our portfolio after them. An unabashed family man, Ginsberg celebrated his daughters with two apartment buildings, The Liane and Hilary Gardens, and gave their mother’s name to The Pearl. Let’s see why these buildings are notable enough for Ginsberg to honor the most important women in his life. 

The Liane

Gramercy is one of Manhattan’s toniest enclaves with tree-lined streets, easy access to Midtown East, Madison Square Park, and all points Downtown, and, of course, the eponymous Gramercy Park that is the centerpiece of this old-school neighborhood. On quiet 21st Street, The Liane stands out as a convenience-filled respite from the bustle of the city. Here, you’ll find homes with all the amenities you’ll ever need, including state-of-the-art appliances, laundry, a live-in superintendent. Let the elevator whisk you from the immaculately renovated lobby to your studio or one-bedroom home where you can experience the ultimate in Gramercy living. 

Hilary Gardens

This soaring high-rise right in the heart of iconic Greenwich Village is one of the city’s most desirable locations. At Hilary Gardens, you have access to the culture and cuisine that Downtown living affords in a modern and well-appointment home. These sun-flooded studios, one- and two-bedroom homes are the perfect place for you and your family to experience it all. But you don’t have to look too far to find fun. Just head to the rooftop sky deck and swim in a heated pool* as you take in truly breathtaking panoramic views of the entire city. 

The Pearl 

The Pearl towers 23 stories above the Upper East Side, affording residents world-class vistas from their luxury homes in the sky through floor-to-ceiling windows. There’s a lot of shopping and dining to be had on the UES, but with gorgeous hardwood floors, custom kitchens, terraces, and sumptuous bathrooms, you might never want to leave, whether you’re in a one-, two-, or three-bedroom abode.

Murray Hill combines the quaint with a center-of-it-all location, which means its local shops and restaurants offer the best of the best with a personal twist. It’s easy to bring a little spark into your life and to make those days and nights romantic and fun via a plethora of shops and restaurants with pickup and delivery options for delicious meals or those ‘little things’ that transform times of day into precious moments.

There is nothing that lifts a mood like a masterfully crafted bouquet of flowers—or that more radiantly foregrounds a window filled with dusk’s glow. AAA Flowers is a family-run Murray Hill gem that provides free delivery service, even for a last-minute surprise for a friend, colleague, or loved one. For a burst of color and a sweet gesture of love or friendship, send the Heavenly Hues Bouquet, a delicate combination of hydrangea, roses, carnations, and asters that plays with varieties of yellow and powdery blues. If you want to make a statement, or even create a tropical paradise in a corner of your home, try the Tropical Flight, a tall and striking glass vase of Birds of Paradise as transporting as it is architectural. Whichever arrangement you choose, know that the expert crafters at AAA Flowers will select the freshest, most abundant blooms for your arrangement, 

With a backdrop of natural beauty, the stage is set for a meal at home that becomes a celebration when there are so many exciting and innovative local restaurants to choose from. Hill and Bay is a neighborhood favorite, which, according to Time Out New York, offers “relaxed brasserie fare” and “comfort food aplenty, including a variety of burgers, warming entrees like chicken mash kale and a range of pasta dishes.” They also offer the kinds of cocktails that combine innovative flavors with a sense of play, like the Ferris Mule’ers Day Off, which features vodka, ginger beer, and fresh lime juice. 

Tiberias is a completely kosher Murray Hill restaurant that draws crowds, whether they keep kosher or not, due to its commitment to the finest, freshest ingredients. A splash of the Mediterranean via the Middle East, Tiberias offers pizzas that feature the best of these regions, such as Greek feta cheese, halloumi cheese, and wild mushrooms. They also offer a wide range of seafood entrees with elegant touches, like the baked sea bass with a white wine reduction, and a full sushi menu featuring some of the freshest fish around, which you can order a la carte or in a combo platter. This is also the kind of place where you won’t want to skimp on dessert. Try the Oreos on Fire, which features fried Oreos atop a savoiardi cake doused in espresso, and your celebration in the heart of Manhattan will be complete. 

Embrace the coming of spring with a romantic evening in Murray Hill! Looking to begin a new life in this esteemed neighborhood? Contact the Algin leasing team and discover your new home on Murray Hill today!
