DEAR

“

NN MARIE ”

Question of the Month DEAR ANN MARIE, I’ve been hearing more buzz about Sutton Place lately—new listings, renewed interest, and even some younger buyers moving in. Is this just a moment, or is something real happening in the neighborhood?

Happy Mother's Day!

- CURIOUS ON THE EAST SIDE DEAR CURIOUS, You’re not imagining it—Sutton Place is having a moment, and it’s one grounded in substance, not hype.

For years, this pocket of the East Side has been one of Manhattan’s best-kept secrets: peaceful, refined, and rich in architectural character. What’s changed recently is that more buyers are beginning to recognize the unique value proposition here. In a market where space, light, and tranquility have become top priorities, Sutton Place quietly checks every box.

We’re seeing renewed demand across a range of buyers. Downsizers are drawn to the gracious layouts and established co-ops, while a younger generation is discovering that Sutton Place offers a level of serenity that’s increasingly rare—without sacrificing proximity to Midtown, the East River, and key transit.

Another factor is pricing. Compared to neighboring enclaves, Sutton Place has remained relatively approachable, which is attracting savvy buyers who see long-term upside. Add to that several well-executed renovations and improved amenities in classic buildings, and you have a neighborhood that feels both timeless and quietly evolving.

Perhaps most importantly, Sutton Place offers something that can’t be manufactured: a sense of calm. Tree-lined streets, river views, and a genuine neighborhood feel continue to set it apart in a fast-paced city.

Ann Marie Folan is a long-time Sutton Place resident and the top Sutton broker.

After serving as a residential and commercial real estate attorney at Stroock, Stroock & Lavan LLP, she joined Douglas Elliman where she quickly established herself as a top producer, and earned the prestigious “Deal of the Year” award from the Real Estate Board of New York. She has closed hundreds of sales in NYC. ASK ANN MARIE! Submit your questions to Ann Marie.

Léon, Mama & Aeson at The Livingston Hotel in downtown Brooklyn

Dearest Readers,

For the past couple years, I've gone from mentoring two children (my little ones seen here with me!) to a few more, happily. The difference is that I've brought on only four interns this time, instead of eleven like last.

My current seniors, you are rockstars. I congratulate each of you on your growing talents and plans for your promising futures, full rides and all!

This Mother's Day, we wish every mom, in all her forms, in the Sutton Place area and beyond, community, love and support — especially our cover star Sharon Feiereisen of The Mom Club. A fan of ours, and soon to be of yours, since 2024. And to reader and fellow mama Nicole Gross, shining a light on mothers everywhere, we celebrate you, too!

Gorgeous antipasto boards lined the bar, thoughtful bouquets by @venkidecor dressed the tables, bottles of wine from La Cienega Vineyard were poured, and attendees spoiledly enjoyed a beautiful salad each, family style appetizers, and a main — entirely gluten free from start to finish, even the fried calamari and meatballs. Requested in advance, and for parties, substitutions can be made.

BEHIND THE BRAND

Summer Space

STUDIO

Blooming Creativity, One Paper Flower at a Time

BY FEATURE WRITER MARGARET PFOHL

O

n a quiet street in Yorkville, Poy Granati would wander through Carl Schurz Park, watch the city move, and think about flowers. Not real ones, but paper. She started making them in 2018, filling her free hours with delicate folds and painted petals. What began as a hobby became a calling. When the pandemic ended her UX design job, she turned her full attention to Summer Space Studio, creating paper flowers for events, workshops, and brand activations.

The studio’s philosophy is simple: Bloom in your element. Poy used to aim for perfection, obsessing over the weight of the paper, the right shade of paint, and the exact shape. She learned to let go, embracing the uniqueness of every bloom.

In workshops, she encourages participants to trust their process and enjoy creating something that reflects their own style. Every flower becomes a snapshot of a moment, a decision, and a personal touch.

Her inspiration comes from the materials themselves and the people who commission her work. Poy loves experimenting with paper textures and colors, figuring out structures and forms for each type of flower. She is fascinated by vintage botanical illustration and often studies the form of real flowers, translating those details into the structure and design of her paper stems.

In the past five years running the studio full-time, Poy’s work has gained recognition. She has been featured on the "Today" show and has hosted workshops with Netflix, Maman, IBM, and Yelp. Her installations have been commissioned

by Bed Bath & Beyond and Mixed by Nasrin, and she has partnered with East Olivia. She is currently working on a partnership with Hermès, set to launch this month.

Poy has recently moved her life and studio to the Hudson Valley with her husband, 10-month-old daughter, a tuxedo cat, and a turtle. They relocated from Astoria, Queens, at the beginning of the year, which has required a lot of adjustment. Born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand, Poy spent 14 years living in New York City and loved the freedom of walking anywhere, accessing every type of cuisine, and meeting people from all backgrounds.

The Hudson Valley still keeps her close enough to the city to host workshops, attend events, and meet friends while exploring the slower pace and natural inspiration of her new home. She manages a small team that can handle corporate workshops in the city, and she is working to connect with local businesses in the Hudson Valley to expand her reach.

Motherhood has added a new dimension to her work. One memorable moment came just two days after giving birth, when she and her husband delivered a massive paper flower commission for a private yacht. “Every time I feel defeated, I think about that day,” she says. “It reminds me I can handle more than I think.”

Poy has also ventured into the art world. Last year she exhibited framed paper flower wall hangings at The Other Art Fair, Brooklyn, while 35 weeks pregnant. She hopes to connect with art collectors, interior designers, galleries, and fellow artists for future collaborations. Summer Space Studio continues to grow as a place to explore color, shape, and imagination, inviting everyone to bloom in their own way.

n 2017, John Donohue, a former editor and cartoonist at The New Yorker, started drawing restaurants in his hometown, New York City. A self-taught artist, he works in pen and ink from life, with no corrections, typically standing on a busy street in front of a place. Later, he adds his signature one-color detail for his signed, limitededition prints. He has drawn more than 1,500 restaurants in Paris, London, the Napa Valley, Philadelphia, and beyond. Sales of his artwork have aided the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Restaurant Workers’ Community Foundation’s emergency Covid-19 relief fund, City Harvest, and the Napa Valley Museum.

Abrams published three books of his work: “All the Restaurants in New York” (2019), “A Table in Paris” (2021), and “A Taste of London” (2023). In 2022, he had his first museum show at the Napa Valley Museum. He is also the editor of “Man with a Pan: Culinary Adventures of Fathers who Cook for their Families,” a 2011 best-selling anthology featuring contributions by Mark Bittman, Mark Kurlansky, Stephen King, Mario Batali, Jim Harrison, and many others.

I

love sitting in a local restaurant on a Saturday or Sunday having brunch, and the best place in New York for brunch is Madison on 1st and 53rd. No, I haven’t been to every brunch place in NYC, but once you’ve been to the best, as Madison is, you know nothing compares.

I’m a regular there, going almost every weekend. Madison’s brunch offering is a terrific deal. For $30.95 you get a choice of juice, Bloody Mary, Screwdriver or Mimosa, an appetizer of fresh fruit, a choice of about twenty different entrees, about a dozen desserts, and coffee or tea. The food is top quality and the portions are plenty; you must take food home.

Being a regular, my favorites are Spinach Pie with Greek Salad, Chocolate Chip Pancakes, Omelettes, Bagel with Lox and Cream Cheese, and French Toast! I am addicted to it, and it is served so many different ways. With bacon and eggs, fried chicken, cheese.

It is thickly sliced challah bread with syrup, and it is so good!

place like Madison, so go soon, and you will become a regular like I have. It is truly outstanding.

This time, because I was reviewing, I tried different things: Chicken Quesadillas and Huevos Rancheros. Both were excellent. Everything at Madison is excellent. As full as I was, I had to order dessert: Chocolate Blackout Cake, which I’ve had often and love, and Cheesecake Tiramisu, also to rave about.

The service was attentive, as always. Their two owners, Silvester and Nick, are so pleasant and go out of their way to make your meal and experience enjoyable. Madison opened in 1950 and is doing an excellent business and deservedly so. You will never find another 16

F

rom Sutton Place to the Upper East Side, life is defined by taste — on the plate and in the mirror. Jean‑Georges, whose restaurants set the standard for refined dining, is also a loyal Warren Tricomi client, choosing the same level of excellence in beauty that he demands in food.

Founded in 1990 by Edward Tricomi and Roxana Pintilie, Warren Tricomi mirrors the quiet luxury of these neighborhoods: thoughtful, precise, and always a step ahead. Just as Jean‑Georges crafts unforgettable experiences with every course, Warren Tricomi crafts confidence with every visit — making it the natural destination for Sutton–area residents who savor the best of both worlds.

Picture this: Jean-Georges Vongerichten, the visionary behind NYC’s finest kitchens, slips into Warren Tricomi at 969 Madison Avenue before a neighborhood soirée.

Edward, with his signature finesse honed since 1989, transforms JG’s strands into that effortless power-look — crisp, modern, ready for a Sutton Place Social event or Esplanade stroll. It’s no coincidence: Jean-Georges has trusted Warren Tricomi for years, from runway shows to red carpets, proving that true luxury starts with the details.

Here, amid our enclave’s global residents and art-deco charm, tastemakers like JeanGeorges recharge. Your next blowout? The one that turns a coffee run into a catwalk.

A TABLE SET WITH TRADITION

Saperavi

BY SUTTON PLACE RESIDENT YANINA LE CRISTAL

I

slip into Saperavi on a cool New York evening. The moment I step inside, I’m wrapped in the unmistakable soul of Georgian cooking. A bottle of Château Mukhrani at my wooden table catches the light, its pale gold shimmering in the glass. Georgian wine always grounds me. Perhaps it’s the knowledge that this is the birthplace of winemaking, a tradition stretching back over 8,000 years. Perhaps it’s the earthiness, the quiet confidence of a culture that has always known how to gather people around a table. Whatever the reason, that first sip feels like an invitation to sink deeper into the moment.

What strikes me most about Georgian cuisine is how vividly it carries the imprint of history. Georgia has never been a quiet or isolated place; it has always been a crossroads. For centuries, the Silk Road cut straight through this small but mighty country, carrying spices, travelers, merchants and ideas across continents. You can taste that legacy in every dish — the brightness of tarragon, the warmth of garlic, the unexpected notes of pomegranate, the way herbs and textures mingle with centuries of exchange. Even the wines feel touched by that lineage, shaped by qvevri buried in the earth and techniques passed down through generations.

The dishes arrive one by one, each carrying the soul of a country that cooks with memory. I begin with the Georgian salad — simple, bright, and honest, like something made at home but elevated by a practiced hand. Then comes the khachapuri, warm and fragrant, its molten cheese stretching in soft ribbons. It’s comfort in its purest form. The eggplant rolls follow; thin slices wrapped around a walnut‑garlic filling that is earthy, delicate, and quietly elegant.

Khinkali arrives next — plump, pleated dumplings that feel almost ceremonial. I hold one by the top knot, take a careful bite, and let the broth spill onto my tongue. Around me, the bar glows with red light, laughter rising and fading like a soft pulse.

As I taste my way through the menu, for my main course I decide to try Chicken Tabaka, pan fried, its crisp skin and Tkemali sauce offering a tart yet rich comfort.

For dessert, I chose Pelamushi, a traditional Georgian grape flan made entirely from pure pressed grapes, giving it a naturally deep sweetness. Silky and jewel‑toned, it’s one of Georgia’s most beloved desserts — simple, elemental, and unforgettable.

I feel the rhythm of Georgian cooking: bold yet balanced, rustic yet refined. Saperavi doesn’t try to reinvent Georgia — it brings it here, intact, generous, and alive.

GRAND OPENING

Ánimo! Returns

A FRESH TAKE ON MEXICAN FLAVORS IN SUTTON PLACE

BY FEATURE WRITER MARGARET PFOHL | MPFOHL@BESTVERSIONMEDIA.COM

W

hen Ánimo! reopened its doors on March 17 after months of renovations, the anticipation was palpable. From the moment you step inside, it is clear that this is not just a restaurant, but a craft-driven Mexican kitchen. A space that draws from culinary traditions across Mexico, where dishes are prepared in-house with care, precision and intention, all brought to life in a setting shaped by the energy of New York City.

The newly expanded space is a sight to behold. Mirrors cover the walls and ceilings, reflecting light and creating an airy, elevated feel. The dining room has been thoughtfully reworked to offer a more comfortable, full sit-down experience where dishes can be shared and enjoyed together. The bar is a showstopper, with colorful tiles and curated memorabilia that evoke the vibrancy of Mexico while feeling right at home just steps off Second Avenue.

The menu has evolved as well. Start with one of the standout cocktails, like the El Cinco, a bright mix of Pueblo Viejo tequila, strawberry, basil, agave, pineapple and lime that balances sweet, herbal, and citrusy notes with every sip. The floral and refreshing El Grito features sotol, hibiscus juice, lime juice, and lime foam, whose smooth, tangy texture evokes the creamy brightness of a key lime pie. For those who love a smoky twist, the Oaxacan Old Fashioned blends Vida mezcal, Jack Daniel’s, piloncillo syrup, grapefruit, and Angostura bitters, garnished with an orange peel, creating a complex cocktail with notes of caramel, smoke, and citrus.

Food at Ánimo! reflects a commitment to traditional Mexican flavors executed with precision and intention. The Tostaditas de Atún arrive as crisp corn tostadas topped with sushi-grade tuna, creamy avocado, fried leeks, sesame seeds, and chipotle mayo, offering a satisfying crunch and a balanced interplay of freshness and heat. The guacamole is rich and vibrant, with cilantro and serrano peppers adding a gentle kick that can be tailored to preference. The Crema de Elote, a sweet corn soup with fresh corn and roasted poblano, is velvety and comforting, with a subtle smoky depth.

For a heartier experience, the mains shine. The Carne a la Tampiqueña features marinated, pan-seared arrachera steak that is tender and deeply savory, accompanied by a cheese enchilada, rice, beans, and fresh guacamole. Seafood lovers will appreciate the Veracruzano Seafood Rice, a fragrant dish cooked in fish broth with clams, calamari, and red snapper, each bite layered with briny, oceanic flavor and aromatic nuance. Dessert is not to be missed,

especially the tres leches cake with strawberry jam: moist and indulgent, its sweetness balanced by the bright fruit notes.

Whether it is the cocktails, the food, or the thoughtfully redesigned space, Ánimo! has emerged from renovations with renewed clarity. It is a place to linger, to share, and to experience Mexican cooking rooted in tradition and executed with care.

Check out the space at 1004 2nd Avenue, at 53rd, and make a reservation online at animonyc.com. Follow along on Instagram @animo.nyc.

Sharon Feiereisen

BUILDS COMMUNITY, ONE MOM AT A TIME WRITTEN BY FEATURE WRITER MARGARET PFOHL | PHOTOGRAPHY BY MICHELLE ROSE

COVER STORY

T

here’s a certain rhythm to building a life between cities, especially when one of them is New York. For Sharon Feiereisen, that life has spanned continents, cultures, and now, motherhood, all while remaining deeply rooted in Sutton Place and the Upper East Side.

A born-and-raised New Yorker, Sharon grew up immersed in the neighborhood she now calls home again. She attended the Lycée Français de New York from kindergarten through twelfth grade, after starting at Park East Synagogue nursery school, a place that still feels like a time capsule of her childhood. Walking through its doors today, she is greeted by familiar faces, a rarity in a city that is constantly evolving.

Her path eventually took her to Cornell University, where she pursued her passion for fashion. At the time, it was the only Ivy League offering a fashion-focused program, making it an easy choice. But it was her early instinct to write that quietly shaped the trajectory of her career. While many freshmen were finding their footing, Sharon was already freelancing for Dan’s Papers, writing articles from her dorm room and getting paid to do it. Her first assignment, a guide to planning a Hamptons wedding, set the tone for what would become a nearly two-decade career covering lifestyle topics from wellness to beauty, parenting, and beyond.

“I worked in an office for about two seconds,” she laughs. Freelance life suited her far better. It allowed her to build a career that was both flexible and deeply connected to her interests, eventually leading to work with publications like Hamptons Magazine and a network of brands that would later become central to her next chapter.

That next chapter began thousands of miles away.

In her twenties, Sharon moved to Tel Aviv, where she would spend more than a decade and meet her husband, Shaul Amran. Their relationship began, fittingly, with a conversation about food.

Sharon, ever the New Yorker, was shocked to find that the babka in Israel didn’t live up to her standards. Shaul, unfamiliar with the distinctly New York take on Jewish staples, had no idea what she meant. The moment became a running joke, one that would eventually inspire their wedding cake, a three-tiered babka in chocolate, halva, and cheese.

Food remains a throughline in Sharon’s life, especially back in New York, where daily rituals often include stops at neighborhood favorites, and weekend brunch spreads filled with pastries and baked goods from Breads and Maman. It is in these small, consistent moments that her life feels most grounded, even as so much of it continues to move.

Today, Sharon lives on East 64th Street with Shaul and their two children, Max, 4, and Nell, 3, where they get the best of both Sutton Place and the Upper East Side. They frequent Agata & Valentina, Sant Ambroeus, and Ella’s, spend time along the East River Esplanade, and rarely miss the Sutton Place Parks Conservancy’s events for kids. Outings often include drop-ins at M AY 2 0 2 6 / S U TTO N P L ACE SOCIAL

THE MOM CLUB PILATES IN MATCHING SETS BY BEYOND YOGA

NY Preschool & Kids Club and the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, followed by a scoop at A La Mode, especially after a Juliette and Ella’s Playdate class. They’re also regulars at ColorPop Workshop, both in Manhattan and the Hamptons. A self-proclaimed workout enthusiast, Sharon moves daily between classes at Tracy Anderson and Barry’s, and when she has a moment to herself, she’ll head downtown for a session at Gotham Gym. She also has a long-standing connection to Sutton East Tennis Club, where she’s been playing since she was her children’s age, and remains a loyal regular at Mr. Chow, a favorite for decades.

Though her husband initially remained in Israel for work following their return to New York, the family has since made a permanent move stateside. Sharon credits the warm welcome and support of Chanie and Cheved Krasnjansky from Chabad Upper East Side as key to making the transition smooth for her children. Still, their lives remain global, with frequent travel between New York, Tel Aviv, Munich, and the Hamptons.

That sense of constant motion took on new meaning following October 7, when Sharon found herself back in New York alone with two very young children, uncertain of what would come next. Her son was in school for just a few hours a day. Her daughter was not yet enrolled anywhere. And in a city filled with opportunity, she felt an unexpected sense of isolation.

“I was surrounded by nannies in all the classes I was taking my kids to,” she recalls. “And I couldn’t even bring my kids to the gym.”

It was a small frustration that sparked a much larger idea.

On a whim, Sharon organized her first event, a workout class in the park where mothers could bring their children. It was casual, thoughtful, and immediately resonant. The women showed up in coordinated sets, creating an instant sense of camaraderie. What started as a single gathering quickly evolved into something far more expansive.

That something is now The Mom Club.

Part community, part event platform, The Mom Club has grown into a network of thousands of mothers, with events spanning New York City, the Hamptons, Miami, Greenwich, and virtual spaces. Sharon plans everything from fitness classes to expert-led discussions, often inspired by her own curiosities. A book she loves becomes a talk. A workout she enjoys becomes a class. A parenting question becomes a panel.

22

MAY 2026 / SUT TO N PL AC E SO C I A L

Her editorial background plays a crucial role. It informs not only the content of the events but also the brands she brings into the fold.

Partnerships with names like Carbon38, Beyond Yoga, and Barry’s are paired with thoughtfully curated gift bags featuring products from brands like Yoto, Slumberkins, and Frida. Even the snacks are intentional, reflecting the realities of feeding both mothers and children on the go. Many of the workout classes are now momonly, though Sharon also organizes family events where dads are encouraged to take part.

Beyond the events, The Mom Club has also built a digital community, including a WhatsApp network of nearly 2,000 members. It functions as a real-time resource for advice, recommendations, and support, something Sharon describes as even more valuable than any search engine.

Despite its growth, the heart of The Mom Club remains the same as that first park workout: connection.

That sense of connection extends to Sharon’s neighborhood as well. In a city where anonymity is often the norm, she describes her neighbors as unusually close. They hold spare keys, check her mail, and keep her updated when she’s traveling. It’s a level of trust and familiarity that feels almost suburban, set against the backdrop of Manhattan.

Her days, like those of many parents with young children, are full.

Mornings might begin with what her kids call “cappuccinos,” milk over ice, at Sant Ambroeus paired with their signature mini Prosciutto Cotto sandwich with Swiss cheese, followed by time at playgrounds in Central Park or at Urban Dunes, or at an Art Farm's Farm Foodie class, Tutu School, or Kids at Art.

Afternoons blend work and family, while evenings are often dictated by the unpredictable schedules of a toddler and preschooler. Weekends, when possible, are reserved for slow brunches at home, filled with baked goods and a bit of calm.

Travel, too, is a constant. Whether in Tel Aviv, where the family still maintains a home, or Munich, where her parents are based part of the year, Sharon has created a life that is both expansive and deeply personal. Still, she is quick to point out that nothing compares to New York.

For all its movement, her story ultimately circles back to where it began.

If there is a guiding principle behind it all, it is one she shares often with her children: health and safety above everything else.

It is a simple message, but one shaped by experience, by change, and by a life lived across borders.

And while her son may insist that his best friend changes from day to day, Sharon remains confident in her own place in his world.

“Mommy is your best friend today and forever,” she says, smiling.

In a life that spans cities and seasons, it is perhaps the most constant thing of all.

A

t The Greats of Craft, the idea was never just to open a bar.

It was to build something that feels like it belongs to the neighborhood, from morning coffee to late-night drinks, with as many opportunities as possible to bring people through the door.

That thinking has shaped everything since The Greats of Craft first opened on the corner of 1st and 54th in June 2019. Founder Joe Schinco, who spent years working in restaurants between New York and Philadelphia, envisioned a space that could function as a true community hub. The goal was simple: create enough reasons for people to come back that it starts to feel like their place. Early on, that meant giving people a place to gather.

WEDDING AT LIC WAREHOUSE, BY IHOR TIMANKOV

What began as a modest back room in the original Sutton Place location, hosting small gatherings of around 30 people, has grown into a defining part of the business. The Long Island City outpost, located just across the Queensboro Bridge, unlocked a new scale entirely. A sprawling, multi-room venue, the space includes a bright warehouse, a covered rooftop with skyline views, and Bar Enzo, an intimate cocktail bar tucked upstairs. Together, these spaces allow for everything from a 20-person dinner to a 400-guest full buyout, flowing seamlessly from one setting to the next.

Weddings, baby showers, wrap parties, corporate launches, film screenings. The through line is flexibility. There is no rigid formula.

A rooftop happy hour can turn into a multi-room celebration, a corporate meeting can feel like a cocktail party, and a seated dinner can expand into something far more dynamic. With in-house support for layout, catering, bar packages, and full AV capabilities, the team builds each event around what the host actually wants, not the other way around.

That openness has led to unexpected partnerships, including one that now extends beyond the city.

1970

ounded in 1936, The High School of Art & Design has since been dedicated to nurturing young and gifted minds into professional artists in the industry. When it was originally founded, it began as the School of Industrial Arts. In 1941, co-founder John B. Kenny was appointed principal. Networks of artists, designers, and photographers were formed under his administration. The school’s name was changed in 1960 to its current title, and its location moved to a modern building in Midtown East, on 56th Street.

Today, eight varying art majors are offered: Photography, Fashion, Film, Architecture, Animation, Cartooning, Graphic Design, and Illustration. Each major is given abundant resources to hone their skills as well as professional experience in their fields. The school has birthed many celebrated artists who have made a lasting impact on the art industry, some of whom will be celebrated in our continued series from last semester, Famous Graduates of Art & Design!

AMY HECKERLING, WRITER/DIRECTOR/PRODUCER (CLASS OF 1970) Growing up in the Bronx, Amy Heckerling’s admiration for film sparked as she moved between her grandparents, one living in the Bronx and another Brooklyn, entertaining herself with dated movies. She advanced into the arts when she attended Art & Design high school as a photography major, appreciating the film department from afar. The more she heard about boys in the film department casually making independent films, her seemingly farfetched dream to develop one herself became possible.

Heckerling graduated in 1970 and went on to study TV and film at NYU, where she further explored creative short films. In her junior year, a film Heckerling made about kids saving their school (loosely based on NYU’s situation at the time) won at a festival, which contributed to her admission into the American Film Institute. Despite her rough adjustment to AFI’s Los Angeles surroundings, Heckerling’s skills helped her build networks with Universal Studios and Warner Bros, contributing to the development of her breakthrough film "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" in 1982, which honestly portrayed coming of age as a teenager.

Following "Fast Times," Heckerling went on to write and direct "Clueless," a classic coming-of-age film that birthed a genre of movies centered around girlhood: "10 Things I Hate About You," "Bring It On," and "Mean Girls," to name a few. Her work in "Clueless" served as a shift for fashion, pop culture, and how young women were represented in film.

Using her experience as a New York native with too much freedom, Heckerling continued to attract a teen audience that was misrepresented. Cher ("Clueless") and Spicoli ("Fast Times"), both opposites in their characters, share a sense of freedom that teenagers naturally explore with a lack of care. However, the carelessness that both characters possess is understood by the teen audience, therefore identifying with it. Today, Amy Heckerling is celebrated for her timeless projects that highlight the ugly truths of the teenage experience, shining a light on the potential within younger generations.

To look forward to, a “Clueless” show on Peacock is on the way, as is another "Look Who's Talking" movie.

REAL SUPPORT FOR MOTHERS During Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month

BY SUTTON PLACE RESIDENT NICOLE GROSS

M

ay is Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month — a time to gently remind mothers everywhere of something they may not hear enough: you are not alone, and what you’re feeling matters.

Motherhood is often painted as joyful and instinctive. But the truth is more complex. Up to 1 in 5 mothers experience perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, including depression, anxiety, and more. These feelings can begin during pregnancy or anytime in the first year postpartum, and they are not a reflection of your strength or love for your child — they are human.

The postpartum period, often called the “fourth trimester,” is one of the most physically and emotionally demanding transitions a person can go through. It is also, historically, one of the most under-supported phases of care. But support does exist — and it is growing in powerful, meaningful ways.

This month, and every month, let’s continue to shift the narrative — from silent struggle to supported motherhood.

Because when mothers are supported, they don’t just survive — they heal, connect, and thrive.

If you or someone you know is in need of immediate free and confidential support 24/7, call or text the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA (1-833-852-6262).

At The Motherhood Center, mothers can access specialized, evidence-based mental health care designed specifically for the perinatal period. Their programs treat the full spectrum of maternal mental health challenges while offering something equally important: community. Many women describe the experience as finally feeling seen, understood, and held in a space where the hard parts of motherhood are allowed to exist without judgment. www.themotherhoodcenter.com For those needing deeper physical and emotional recovery after birth, Boram Postnatal Care offers a different kind of support — one rooted in rest, nourishment, and hands-on care.

Their postnatal retreat model provides 24/7 support from nurses and doulas, along with meals, therapies, and guidance during those early, overwhelming days. It reflects a growing understanding that when mothers are cared for, families thrive. www.boramcare.com And support doesn’t always have to be clinical or immersive. Sometimes, it starts with something small but deeply meaningful — like being thought of. Your Post Party offers curated care packages designed to support mothers in the early postpartum days. These packages bring together practical essentials and comforting touches, reminding mothers that their healing matters too. Even simple gestures of care can help a new mom feel less alone during a time that can feel isolating. www.yourpostparty.com The common thread across all of these resources is this: mothers deserve care, not just during pregnancy, but long after the baby arrives.

If you’re in the thick of it — exhausted, overwhelmed, unsure — know this: there is nothing wrong with you. Motherhood is not meant to be done in isolation. Whether it’s reaching out for professional support, investing in recovery, or accepting help in any form, you are allowed to need care too.

SOMETIMES ART IMITATES LIFE. OTHER TIMES, ART IS LIFE. In my debut novel, "Recipe for Joy," I turned a bit of life into art…of a bookish sort. A story about cherished family recipes, letters sent by a mysterious hand, and two sisters who need directions back to one another, "Recipe for Joy" lands at the intersection of fractured family ties, food, and memory. It takes place in New York City, a small town in Cleveland, and beyond, but the throughline is Sutton.

Literally.

AS SEEN ON FOX NEWS!

un & Family R d Owne

Belle is the protagonist in "Recipe for Joy." Her last name? Sutton. I did that as an homage to this neighborhood I adore.

It’s nearly two decades now that my husband, John, and I have called the Sutton area home.

We've always had a shih tzu, first Kona, and now, tiny Poirot. Walking my pups is how I've met the loveliest people in the neighborhood.

FOLLOW US @crumblynyc

"Recipe for Joy" marks the beginning of a second career for me. After moving to the city from Cleveland in 1994 for graduate school, I was a journalist for a decade, then a financial editor and ghostwriter. But fiction has always been my first love. In 2022, still reeling from the passing of my mother, Patty, I found the words to a kernel of a story I'd long mulled over. The result is a love letter to a time and places that remain dear.

While a quaint town in Cleveland cradled me during the most tender time of my life, New York City infused spirit back into me. There’s a balance in the novel between small town tenderness and big city energy. Both are necessary for the plot as both proved vital for me. I've lived in small-town Ohio as well as big-city New York and walked a road of grief between the two — a road that, surprisingly, was paved with gifts.

Life with

Max & Brooks

BY SUTTON PLACE RESIDENT JENNIFER RISI

My name is Max, and I was born on December 28, 2024, in Woodstock, New York. I’m a Havanese, and I've been told that my doggie mother could have been a show dog; I come from good genes. I soon met my brother, Brooks, also a Havanese but from a different family, traveling a long way from Indiana to meet our human mom in a random parking lot in New Jersey after a long trip cross country. We are an unlikely pair, but we became fast best friends. We are family. It was touch and go for Brooks for a while, but our amazing family (and Sutton Animal Hospital’s Dr. Kent Miller) loved him so much that he became a strong and healthy boy.

Brooks and I reside in Southgate. When I first moved in, I had a lot to learn — it was a lot noisier than my country life, but I am fearless. We soon started to go out, exploring Sutton Place, Beekman, Turtle Bay and more. But we do have some bad habits — who doesn’t? We often bark at strangers (big dogs, humans, children) but we are learning, and we promise we are trying to be better. Our dog trainer Chandra is helping us and says we are a work in progress.

Some might say I am charming, friendly, smart, and handsome (well, I am). One thing about me, though: I don’t like to be alone for a second.

My mom has a busy life, so she has some help in taking care of Brooks and me — we love Aunt Melissa!

My brother and I love it here and have become boys about town, from spending our days at Camp Canine to visiting our grandma who lives nearby, to riding in yellow taxi cabs and hangin’ with our favorite dog walker Sergio — we make friends everywhere we go.

Brooks and I are happy Sutton Place dogs. Who has it better than us? @LIFEWITHMAXRISI

The

BIG Oyster

BY LOCAL RESIDENT HELLEN HELLO

I

had the opportunity to chat with Peter Malinowsky, CEO of the Billion Oyster Project (BOP) who, 17 years ago, began this monumental project at the Harbor High School on Governor’s Island. I urge you all to view “Wild Hope: The Big Oyster” (www.wildhope.tv/episode/the-big-oyster) on YouTube. The show that will change your perspective of our city and introduce you to the work of a real visionary.

The five boroughs comprise 200,000 square acres, equal to the size of New York Harbor. Our land mass is densely used, but our waterways and shorelines are underutilized. We islanders don’t interact or think much about our rivers except to look at them, cross them, and occasionally wonder if a storm surge will flood our streets.

Step in the “keystone species,” the oyster. Let’s sing the praises of this amazing mollusk. A single oyster filters 12.5 gallons of water a day. Oyster reefs form storm barriers that deflect and diffuse waves, protecting the shoreline and land. Underwater life, fish, seahorses, crabs, all live in the habitat created by oysters.

To help New York Harbor combat the ongoing plight of pollution, the BOP leads the way, helped by volunteers, government agencies, state and local politicians, foundations, and businesses. Still, funding is always an issue, and, darlings, if you can spare some change, or work for a company that matches funds, this is a worthy cause for all New Yorkers. Time is money, too, and if you can, take the Governor’s Island ferry at the tip of Manhattan and volunteer.

The biggest challenge is building the reefs. The DEP loves it when things are taken out of the water but becomes very stringent about what goes in, even the oyster beds. Peter Malinowky’s vision is to have oysters on every piling, bulkhead, and shoreline in the city. At this writing, there are beds up and down the East River, on the Hudson up to the Mario Cuomo Bridge, and in Soundview at the mouth of the Bronx River, the only freshwater river in the city.

The goal of one billion oysters living in New York Harbor will be met in 2030; that’s five years ahead of the 2035 goal, says Malinowsky. We may live to see the return of seals, dolphins, whales, and huge flocks of birds in and around our waterways.
