View Full Caption Landmarks Preservation Commission MANHATTAN —  Millennials, be forewarned before moving to the Big Apple: You'll need a roommate, you'll likely pay at least $1,000 a month, and don't bet on settling in Manhattan. Nearly 72 percent of Millennials shared their home with someone other than their partner in 2016, according to a report from New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer . And now is the time of year that many of these young New Yorkers are searching for new digs. The third week of August tends to the busiest single week for renters because of the flood of college students coming to New York and recent grads starting new jobs in September, according to the roommate- search app SpareRoom . The city’s streets around universities such as NYU, Columbia and Barnard will soon be cordoned off on Aug. 27 for the annual rite of “move-in day,” wh...

Joan Rivers earned a fortune from her QVC business and non-stop, stand-up performances - and it's all going to her only daughter Melissa, the grandson she 'worshiped' - as well as her pet dogs. The outspoken star, who died at age 81 last Thursday, is believed to have amassed a $ 150 million fortune , earning $40 million a year - and reportedly raked in over $1 billion in sales of clothing and jewelry in her partnership with home shopping network QVC over the last 24 years. Her lavish apartment on Manhattan's Upper East side - bought through a family trust - was recently valued at $35 million. And, as Joan publicly stated , everything goes to Melissa Rivers . However, the comedienne's goddaughter Tracie Hotchner has revealed that Joan also left  'clear provision' for her rescue dogs, Samantha and Teegan, who lived with her in New York, as well as a Jack Russell Terrier and a Border Collie in California.  Scroll down for video  goddaughter Tracie Hotchne...

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — If you've ever wanted to live in the old Brooklyn home of a notorious gangster, you've got a chance to do it. The Park Slope home where Al Capone used to live is up for sale, and it will only cost you a cool $2.5 million to move in. Capone grew up in a nearby building on Garfield Place, according to realtor.com, and moved into this listing in the early 1900s. "If he had lived here today, he wouldn’t have to go into the rum-running business," listing agent Bren Salamon told Patch . That's because Capone could make some serious dough from the two rental units attached to the condo, which could bring in a pretty penny in 2017 Park Slope . Anyone who moves in, though, won't be looking at any old relics of Brooklyn gone by. The home, as many are in the borough these days, was completely renovated by an investor about a year ago. The main townhouse is 2, 980 square feet spread over two levels. Along with three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, t...

There's no end to the unrealistic NYC apartments on the small and silver screen, but Piper Perabo's Chinatown apartment in the classic 2000 film Coyote Ugly is a noteworthy offender. For those of you who are unlucky enough to have missed Coyote Ugly , or who need a refresher, here is the gist—Perabo plays Violet, a starry-eyed songwriter from a far away land called New Jersey who moves to the Big City to find her break, but ends up making ends meet by bartending at Coyote Ugly, a popular establishment where ladies dance on tables and pour ice on people. There's a lot of High Drama in this film—Perabo starts a relationship with super hot Australian Adam Garcia , alienates dad John Goodman , has love/hate tension with boss Maria Bello , and tries to get famous people to sing her songs. Throughout this, though, she somehow manages to live ALONE in a MASSIVE apartment in Chinatown, a feat far less realistic than getting LeAnn Rimes to perform "Can't Fight the Moonl...

The deal closed earlier this week for the asking price of $28 million. The apartment, on the Upper East Side , was listed in February of this year. Rivers died unexpectedly while undergoing an endoscopy in September of 2014. Read More Joan Rivers' penthouse up for $28M: No joke Sources declined to reveal the identity of the buyers and where they reside in the Middle East. The four-bedroom, 4 ½- bathroom condominium spans the top three floors of the building at 1 E. 62nd St. Its ornate décor, soaring ceilings and gilded balcony prompted Rivers to joke, "It's what Marie Antoinette would have done, if she had money." The home was sold by Rivers' daughter Melissa, who had her own apartment within the triplex. The buyers, who closed on the deal unusually quickly , li...
