Where are the best places to buy light fixtures?


We need several fixtures for formal and informal spaces in a 1880s brownstone. Period to modern. Any recommendations in BK or Manhattan? Txs!

Does anyone know where to buy moving boxes in BK


We need new moving boxes. Manhattan OK, but rather buy them locally if possible. Driving no problem.

ISO Room to Rent


My mother is in search of a room to rent in Ft. Greene/Clinton HIll for 3 or 4 weeks (beginning next Wednesday) while some work is completed in her apartment. She’s 65, really nice and quiet, completely responsible. A room in a private house or a studio sublet would work well. Please contact me at ajd32@columbia.edu with any leads. Thanks! April

Smelly New Radiators


We bought two new radiators (Governale – gov-free) back in October but have kept the valves closed because they smell so bad when on. It’s a sort of a chemical smell, hard to describe. We’ve tried to “burn it off” with no luck. We plan to call the manufacturer but are wondering if anyone’s had a similar experience or knows what the smell is and how to correct. The radiators have not been painted if that’s relevant. Thanks.
