Carnegie Hill elite venture "downtown" for meatballs
Spotted at Elio's for spaghetti and meatball night:
Ralph, Ricki and Dylan Lauran w/ her bfriend!
And the Forbes family dining with the Phillips family. Our spy says the Forbes and Phillips families shared multiple orders of meatballs for the table.

Meat your local butcher
Holland Court Meat Market Interview
The small town feel that many people cite as one of the reasons for their devotion to Carnegie Hill (and certainly mine) is strengthened and in many ways created by the retailers who line our streets. We favor The Corner Bookstore over Barnes & Noble, Raising Rover over PETCO, and my friends at The Holland Court Meat Market for meat, poultry and fish.
I've been buying exclusively at Holland Court since the day I moved in to Carnegie Hill. They pound thin (to order) my boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut a beautiful top round for my winter pot roasts and always have an assortment of fantastic cuts of steak. For my first time hosting Thanksgiving last year, I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else for my turkey, which came cleaned tied and ready to brine.
Anything their customers want is prepared perfectly and if you call ahead, will be waiting for pick up or delivered to your door. They are great guys, and I sat down with them for the first ever Our Carnegie Hill interview to learn more:
OCH: What are your names?
HCMM: Evan Kemp and Joe Dimaggio
OCH: Joe Dimaggio?
Joe: Yes, people don't believe me, some name to have in NY...
OCH: Are you two related?
Evan: No. Joe and my father-in-law, Frank, were partners. I used to work for them, then bought my father-in-law's half of the business in 1995.
OCH: How long have you been butchers?
Joe: Since the Early '60's
Evan: Since the Early '80's
OCH: How long have you had this space, on the S.E. corner of Lexington & 93rd?
HCMM: April of 1995. Before that we were on Madison Avenue & 92nd Street. We were there since the 1930's.
OCH: What do you get in terms of products and services that separates Holland Court from what you can get at a supermarket?
HCMM: Top Quality Meats & Seafood. Our meats are all either Prime or Choice grade and are all aged on premises. Our fish are always the freshest available. Plus you get us and our combined experience of over 75yrs.
OCH: Who is your clientele?
HCMM: Mostly Carnegie Hill families. We also have a large following of people that used to live in Carnegie Hill but have since moved out of the neighborhood. They come back to see us.
OCH: How has the business changed over the years?
HCMM: Years ago people didn't go out to eat nearly as much as they do today, so there were many more butcher shops. Also, rents weren't out of control. Today, not many of us are left.
OCH: What is the most popular order today?
HCMM: These days Salmon & Chicken. People watch what they eat more these days.
OCH: What do you sell that people don't know about?
HCMM: We cut everything to order, so nothing is displayed in the show case. Some people don't even know that we carry meat!
OCH: Was the Superbowl weekend big business for you? What were people making for the big game?
HCMM: We are closed on Sundays. The Saturday before the game was a normal day. A lot of people made chili, so we did lots of ground meats.

Crumbs Bake Shop
Crumbs Bake Shop, on the South West corner of Lexington & 93rd has been a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. Cupcakes in various sizes, shapes and colors are available at a beautifully renovated shop. Coffee, hot chocolate, cakes and other goodies are available, but really there's only one reason to walk in the door.
Here are a few pix from their display window. Go eat a red velvet cupcake, its good for you!
Happy Superbowl Sunday.

Carnegie Hill in Brokers Weekly
Carnegie Hill was recently featured in Brokers Weekly's Neighborhood watch:
Monday, February 18, 2008
Carnegie Hill Security Town Forum
Thursday, February 28, 2008 7 - 9pm
Hunter Auditorium - 71 East 94th Street
- An update on crime and prevention facts from Carnegie Hill 19th Precinct NYPD officers
- Hear about improved security including foot patrols
- Preview new projects to ensure Carnegie Hill remains a most desired neighborhood
- An opportunity to discuss important issues and new initiatives that concern Carnegie Hill
Refreshments will be served
Sponsored by Carnegie Hill Neighbors 212.996.5520 chn@carnegiehillneighbors.org
What's next?
The signficant improvement of the retail shops on Lexington Avenue between 90th - 94th Streets continues.
The northwest corner of 94th & Lex, which housed Asia 94 Laundromat & Dry Cleaners has recently closed their doors.
Hopefully the trend of high-end owner operated retail that makes Carnegie Hill unique will continue. Over the last few years, the overhaul of this retail stretch has been spectacular: Sfoglia, edit, Raising Rover and many others have come into the neighborhood and flourished.
Please post here if you have any inside scoop on the next tenant.

Carnegie Hill Living - post #1
Living in Carnegie Hill
Welcome to Carnegie Hill Living. I began this blog as an avenue to discuss the community events, development, real estate, zoning, restaurants and architecture of Carnegie Hill. My goal is to create a deeper sense of community in our neighborhood and create a vehicle to open discussion on topics that matter to Carnegie Hill residents. I hope to cover relevant topics that will encourage you to post your comments and thoughts - both positive and negative.
Hopefully I'll provide some valuable information and generate some interesting conversation.
A bit about me; I am an Executive Vice President at Gumley Haft Kleier, my family-owned boutique residential brokerage firm. I live in Carnegie Hill with my wife Sabrina and 2 year old Shitzu Dixie. I am a member of the Central Park Conservancy and Carnegie Hill Neighbors association.
