Condos in this
eyesore building at 351 Bowery (also known as 52 E 4th St) have sold from $1.1 million to $3.6 million. The most astonishing sale is for unit PK1 which is 157 square feet for $2.1 million and must be a parking space. Looks like PK3 and PK4 are unsold. What a rare opportunity for a Bowery resident to snap up. I also wonder how Unit 5S feels about spending double what 4S spent for the same apartment but one story higher. I hope they don't stomp too much out of anger and shame.
I imagine what they tell their friends when they invite them over for their fancy cocktail parties: "Yes, we live on the Bowery. No, it is quite safe now, you now we have a museum just down the road. You can't miss it, it sticks up 13 stories higher than everything around us. Just enter through the door to the left of the 7-11. And bring up a
slurpee on your way in, they go so well with the pork belly dumplings."

When that building went up, it was supposed to be the most glamorous thing around...as much as I dislike 7-11, I had more than a few laughs when that was the business chosen to be the base of such a swanky address. This is what money buys these days...
