HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM ALL OF US IN NEW YORK CITY!
An iconic Times Square New Year’s Eve celebration is not only a New York tradition, it’s a global phenomenon. About 2 million people spent their New Year's Eve in the Times Square area, with millions more watching at home on TV. Some notable performances included LL Cool J, Sam Hunt, and Post Malone. Add this to your Bucket List!
TIPS FOR A POSITIVE NEW YEAR!
1. Stay positive. You can listen to the cynics and believe that success is impossible, or you can trust that with faith and an optimistic attitude all things are possible
2. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants, and less foods manufactured in plants
3. Get more sleep. You can't replace sleep with a double latte (We’re talking to you New Yorkers.)
In the sixth episode of The Real Deal’s “Brokers In Cabs” series, Douglas Elliman broker and ‘Million Dollar Listing New York’ star Ronita Kalra reveals how she got into the real estate business, her philosophy on the most important piece of making real estate deals (it’s all about the relationships, people!), and why motherhood has made her totally unflappable. “I mean, you can’t offend me if you tried...” she said.
Watch the full video above to see Kalra share her philosophy on her NYC real estate work, how she and fellow Million Dollar Listing NY star Luis Ortiz scored business from a Plaza Hotel doorman, and more!

This new American farm-to-table restaurant is located at the Standard Hotel in The East Village, Manhattan. Although it’s a hotel restaurant it’s not stuffy or presumptuous. Instead, with a ton of vegetables on the menu and a comfortable ambiance it was a very enjoyable dinner. If you get one appetizer, the Japanese sweet potato should be it! Mashed on the inside they are topped with creamy pesto and chili to add a kick.
We also shared the stracciatella & cool mint which comes with Calabrian chili, black lime, and some bread. As well as, the wild mushrooms over green tahini and sesame oil. The fava dip was also a crowd-pleaser. The icing on the cake- while I was there with my girlfriends, David Schwimmer aka Ross from Friends was eating directly in sight of us! Only in New York!
