The 234 Apartment

June Jacobs has been in the beauty and wellness business for over 30 years, and a New Yorker for more than 50. Jacobs is the creator of the June Jacobs Spa Collection , offered to guests in Grand Hyatt hotels and also found at spas, resorts, and in stores.  We caught up with June to talk about her Upper East Side neighborhood , her love of wraparound terraces , and why she craves a little bit of the old New York City and a little bit of the new. Is this your dream neighborhood, or is there someplace else in NYC you’d prefer to settle? I wouldn't say that it is my dream neighborhood, but it is by far the best neighborhood for me to live in. It’s very accessible to all of the parts of the city that I want to be near, and I don’t picture myself moving elsewhere. Do you own or rent? Rent. How’d you find it? One of my close friends was renting the apartment I live in now and I was always envious of it. She got engaged and was going to move in with her fiancé, so I knew it was going for...

By Jean Cherni, Special to the Register Published 4:08 pm, Friday, August 18, 2017 This has been, and continues to be, one of the most pleasant summers in my memory. Because I am now living in an apartment building without the previously accustomed instant access to the outdoors via a porch or patio, I make a special effort on weekends to spend as much time as possible outside in the fresh air. Since I am no longer able to take long walks, ride a bike or spend hours at the beach, I have searched out and enjoy restaurants offering dinning that is “ en plein air ” as the French would call it. We are fortunate to have quite a few local places that offer outdoor dining during the summer months, and I would encourage you to enjoy some of them before this fast-moving month is over. • BRANFORD: One of the oldest and best-known outdoor venues is Lenny’s. Clam chowder and franks with an outdoor deck; reasonable but noisy and crowded. A more-extensive menu with well-priced specials for senio...

Renovations are complete on 113 units at the sprawling Billings Forge complex , where tenants returned to find fresh paint , new appliances and soaring windows. The monthslong effort to upgrade the apartments, hallways and lobby in the former mill building on Broad Street concluded this year. Residents who had relocated temporarily were able to move back home last winter. Some who occupied older units moved into new ones. New kitchens, bathrooms, doors and windows were installed in the apartments, and modern appliances were added. New flooring was laid in the hallways, and the lobby received a face-lift. The $19. 8 million project , backed by a mix of state funds, federal and state tax credits , low income historic tax credits and aid from the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority , took about 19 months to finish. The mixed- income complex is 95 percent full, officials said, and is in the process of accepting new tenants. One hundred and two of its units are deemed “affordable hou...

The best restaurant cookbooks are like time capsules, preserving a moment, a feeling. That’s what this year’s stack of restaurant- focused books achieves — with variable levels of success. Don’t miss chef Wylie Dufresne ’s look back at wd~50 or the new two-volume set from NYC’s highly lauded experiential dining room Eleven Madison Park . Casual restaurants, from the Publican in Chicago to Juhu Beach Club in Oakland, also got the book treatment this year. Each collection stands alone as a testament to the hard work of a team pushing for one pristine goal. Cheers to the Publican: Recipes and Ramblings from an American Beer Hall Paul Kahan, Cosmo Goss, Rachel Holtzman Lorena Jones Books, September 19 Starting with the first time I ate at there, shortly after its opening in 2008, the Publican has been my favorite restaurant. It was an instantaneous love — the room, the food, a swirling feeling of commensality and broad-shouldered abundance. So for me, the promise of this book, Cheers t...
