The Momasphere-hosted reading by Prospect Park West author Amy Sohn at the Richard Meier building went down last night to mixed real-estate reviews from Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn and Effed In Park Slope.
Louise from OTBKB, who didn’t like Sohn’s book, actually liked the apartment. The reading was held in a third floor, four-bedroom apartment that “can comfortably seat 100 people,” she wrote, adding that “the kitchen had an enormous counter/island with some gorgeous looking appliances that sort of disappear seamlessly into the walls.”
Then there’s Erica from Fucked in Park Slope, who looooved Sohn’s book, but hated the apartment.
“It was basically one of those all white numbers where you can’t quite tell what’s a cabinet or what’s a refrigerator because everything is just white lacquer and looks the same.” Her list of complaints was lengthy; she disliked the oddly-placed load-bearing elements, overly trendy “leaded glass peekaboo shower wall[s],” the lack of interesting door knobs and faucets, and the unappealing “reverse railroad” layout of the place, among other things. A unit, by the way, cost up to $5 million.
Neither left with a buyers contract, but both left with a swag bag that included “mojito-flavored lickable oil” from Babeland.
