Nearly three years ago and through a rather serendipitous set of circumstances, I wrote my first article for the magazine. One could say it was love at first sight, a fairytale romance. I fell in love not only with writing the articles but with the finished product as well – happily losing myself for hours, immersed in page after glossy page rife with luxury. Now, as I approach my third anniversary with the magazine that love affair has reached a new level of commitment. It is with pride and a great deal of gratitude that I present to you the Summer, 2016 edition of Private Air New York – and my first as Editor in Chief. We hope you'll agree that there's a lot to fall in love with in this issue. From the new apaiser collection at Pirch's SoHo showroom to a peek at how Leica and the Chatwal Hotel have summer guests channeling their inner Ansel Adams to one of the most dramatically distinctive homes on the market today; we've curated an issue that brings you what we think is the best that summer has to offer. Summer. It only comes once a year, let's savor every delicious moment. Cheers, Gina Samarotto Editor in Chief A rare opportunity to own this iconic property is yours today. Page 32
