It's been a very busy week here in Planet Pauline. But, in all the kerfuffle, I found two great deals.

First, the big guy: A real three bedroom in a lovely, pre-war doorman building on Madison and 36th Street in Historic Murray Hill. Huge living area, enormous bedrooms and a kitchen that would make any chef happy. Working fireplace as well.



If $6,000 a month isn't in the budget, (it happens) then this little guy on East 88th Street is the deal of the day. It's a real one bedroom with a new kitchen and an enormous backyard. It even comes with patio furniture and a grill. $1795 for outdoor space in Manhattan. Full specs here.
