		<title>Upper West Side Openings &amp; Closings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Looks like 2427 Broadway (between 89th &#38; 90th) is turning over again.
In 2009, Accademia di Vino moved in to what had previously been home to Dock&#8217;s Oyster Bar, and eventually that transformed into Trattoria di Vino.
TDV recently closed to make way for yet another new restaurant: Candle Cafe West &#8212; an offshoot of the popular [...]]]></description>

		<title>Upper West Side Seeing &#8220;Unprecedented&#8221; Rise In Townhouses Over $10 Million</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The national real estate market may be struggling, but apparently high-end townhouses on the Upper West Side are doing just fine.
The neighborhood is seeing an &#8220;unprecedented&#8221; rise in townhouses with asking prices over $10 million.

Crain&#8217;s (sometimes loads, sometimes is says &#8220;subscription requires&#8221;) and Curbed recently had coverage on the phenomenon. Curbed notes:

		<description><![CDATA[
Yes, I know &#8212; the Apollo Theater is in Harlem. But as I&#8217;ve mentioned before, the northern border of the Upper West Side  varies depending on who you talk to and this is close enough that I thought it was worth mentioning.
The Apollo is having a free &#8220;Open House Weekend&#8221; tomorrow and Sunday, featuring dance, [...]]]></description>

Posted in December (here &#38; here) that the Subway Sandwich shop at 2595 Broadway (between 97th &#38; 98th) closed rather suddenly with no explanation.
Looks like they were bought out by the Westside Market slated to open next door at 2589 Broadway.

		<title>Informative NYT Article On Zoning Proposal That Could &#8220;Reshape&#8221; UWS Commerce</title>

Two weeks ago I posted about a public hearing on a city proposal to significantly alter Upper West Side commercial zoning laws. The goal is to curb the proliferation of banks and chain-stores while protecting smaller businesses and mom-&#38;-pop stores.
Today, the New York Times delved into the subject &#8212; it&#8217;s an informative piece and I [...]]]></description>

He recently sold his 35th floor condo at The Rushmore (80 Riverside Boulevard, at 64th) for a &#8220;significant profit.&#8221; A-Rod purchased the apartment for [...]]]></description>
