There is a lot of stuff going on the City, and we can't write about it all. Here are some interesting things some of our friends have written up lately.

Interior Lives: New Web Series From New York Magazine Reveals Insides of New Yorker's Homes

Interior Lives with Wendy Goodman is an interesting new series from New York Magazine and The Cut that reveals the interiors of New Yorker's homes. Similar to MTV Cribs but for normal New Yorkers, the series gives you a revealing peek into just what might be hiding behind your neighbor's walls. In this inaugural episode, visit the Park Slope home of fashion director James Aguiar and his husband Mark Haldeman.

In our debut episode of Interior Lives, our design editor Wendy Goodman takes us inside and throughout each floor of the couple’s reconceived and hyper-personal space, where we learn not only the backstory to the couple’s incredible library (where Gucci and Target peacefully coexist under a malachite-wallpapered ceiling) but also the reason why they engage in a pastime few New Yorkers still make time for.
