Do you like Asian fusion? If so, then you should definitely check out Amber, located on the corner of 3rd Avenue and 80th Street. Described by most as an uptown restaurant with a downtown feel, Amber serves a great combination of sushi, Japanese and Thai cuisine. Tall bamboo shoots and walls of polished stones create a zen atmosphere and leads to a unique dining experience.

Since its opening, Amber has become an area favorite - definitely in part to its creative drink menu including a ginger mojito, green tea frozen margarita, and pomegranate martini. Amber has 11 original specialty rolls on the menu including an Upper East Side roll, lobster salad avocado roll topped with fresh kiwi and mango sauce (only available at the Upper East Side location); a snow white roll, sake-miso flavored white asparagus roll with super white tuna & wasabi caviar on top; and a Dragon’s bride roll, spicy shrimp tempura & cucumber roll topped with black and red caviar. For the less adventurous eater, there are over 150 other options on the menu and if asked politely they will happily make alterations to any dish making Amber a great place for any occasion.

If you can’t make it to the Upper East Side, check out one of Amber’s other 3 locations on the Upper West Side, Murray Hill or their newest location in the West Village.

1510 Lex is NYC’s first non-smoking/green rental building, with an anticipated Grand Opening in March 2010. It will be a totally energy efficient, kind-to-the- environment, luxury rental residence.

The building is located just one block from the 6 train between 96th and 97th Street on Lexington Avenue. Sure, you may say, that is way to far uptown for me, but don’t knock it till you try it. It’s a 10 minute train ride to Grand Central since you can switch to the 4/5 express train and be downtown in minutes.

No matter what you are looking for, this place has it. If you like to be near a park, Central Park is only three blocks away. Or if amenities are your thing this is a sure bet.

1510 Lexington has:
-24/7 concierge-attended lobby
-Fitness Center with 4-station Kinesis Wall
-Direct access to on-site garage with valet parking
-Landscaped Roof Park
-Roof top tenant club with billiards/fireplaces/media center
-Children’s playroom
-Hotel-style lobby with adjoining café & Garden

I think you will be impressed with the condominium style finishes in this rent-stabilized conversion. Keeping with the LEED certifications, the residences have been equipped with Energy Star stainless steel kitchens, Bosch washer/dryers, thermally-insulated, triple pane windows, water conserving dual flush toilets as well as faucets and shower heads in all residences.

For such a complete package, the pricing is also attractive. For more thoughts on this building please feel free to call me @ 917-743-0731. I will be happy to show you what the Upper East Side has to offer!

Apartments: Each apartment has a very spacious lay out. If you are looking for space, you should definitely add this building to your apartment search. Also, if you are able to live on the 11th or 12th floor, these apartments have higher ceilings. The C, D, E and F lines face second avenue, the J, H and G lines face 80th Street. If you are looking for peace and quiet, look at the B, A and K lines which face the back of the building and, yes, there is still great natural light. My favorite apartment in this building is the “C” line – a one-bedroom which has a very unique floor through layout, definitely a must see.

The building has one and two bedroom layouts and each apartment is equipped with a wood burning fireplace and herringbone floors.
