When I see a prime corner parcel in Manhattan that hasn't been developed, I know there's gotta be a story behind it. Who do I call when I want the backstory of any parcel in Manhattan? The great @BobKnakal of course! Bob, what's the deal with 49th and 10th Ave?? Strip mall? 😍

Sometimes, the most rewarding deals aren’t the biggest! When I first started canvassing in 1984, I called Vincent Guinee who owned a small mixed-use building at 230 East 63rd Street.

Cheers!!!! 🍾 So I am at my country house in Connecticut this week as I am taking a bit of downtime with my wife and daughter for the 4th of July holiday. One of the things I did over the past few days is a bit of “spring house cleaning” even though we are in the summer. I was
