Sinatra’s Big Apple Penthouse!
Who knew – or remembered – that Frank Sinatra owned a stunning New York penthouse that was way ahead of its time? Judging by his other glamorous digs over the years, his only-the-best-will-do taste and flair for the dramatic certainly shows in this co-op where he lived while his short term marriage to Mia Farrow played out.
Frank and pixie-faced Mia met on the set of Sinatra’s film Von Ryan’s Express in 1965. They were married in 1966; lived in this stunning glass-walled penthouse in New York and were divorced by 1968. When Mia’s movie Rosemary’s Baby production time ran over and she refused to quit the film to be in Sinatra’s film The Detective, The mega-star was very upset which began the break in their marriage.  Sinatra,  handed Farrow her the divorce papers in front of her cast and crew of Rosemary’s Baby.
If you love to entertain, this is the place for it. The 18’ ceilings with glass walls overlooking the river add drama and setting while you tell your guests that Ol’ Blue Eyes designed the space when it was under construction in 1961, and how his pal Sammy Davis Jr. enjoyed tossing champagne glasses down on FDR Drive from the apartment’s terraces. With a modernization undertaken by the current owner after she bought it in 2008, the 3,200 square foot apartment has 4 bedrooms, 6 baths and an additional 2,000 square feet in two wrap-around terraces overlooking the East River.

NEW -Issyra Gallery – The Hoboken African Art Gallery opens its doors to the public this week
“Issyra Gallery, is wonderful addition to the  Hudson County  Art Scene”- The River View Observer
After several months of preparation, the Issyra Gallery situated 313 First Street in the Jefferson Trust Historical Building in Hoboken is now ready to welcome visitors.
The Sow family, a mixed family from Africa and the USA, have lived in Europe for the majority of their lives. They decided to move to Hoboken when Rebecca, Issa Sow’s wife, was asked to relocate for her career. They literally fell in love with the charm of Hoboken and therefore decided to open up a gallery in this town in order to share their passion for African art and culture. They have a strong desire to contribute actively in Hoboken’s rich cultural life.
Their aim is to promote talented contemporary African artists in order to fight against a tendency in the art world to only value antique African art. Indeed, the Sow family believe that this attitude stifles the growth of African Art that is in fact a “living artâ€. These artists have learned their technique and style as it was passed down from generation to generation.

CD Release for David W. Jacobsen’s Newest Album -Not What I Meant at Lampost Bar & Grille, Jersey City
Singer/songwriter David W. Jacobsen’s CD release for his newest album, Not What I Meant, will be on August 25th at the Lamp Post in Jersey City. The album contains humorous and reflective songs about failing to communicate. It deals with misunderstandings and their lighthearted or heartbreaking repercussions.
Lyrics play on miscommunications where one party and the other are on different pages and sometimes at least one of the two is unaware of this discrepancy.
Musically, it is predominated by melodic acoustic guitars accompanied by a rhythm section and occasional mandolin.
