In reply to the discussion: Chelsea Clinton Buys A $10.5 Million Apartment On Madison Square Park [View all]KurtNYC
(14,549 posts)This is a 5-story building in lower midtown, next to Little India. If they need wholesale toys, printed graphics, Indian buffets or a taxi this is a good location. To me this location lacks a distinct personality and is the intersection of several fragmented neighborhoods. A 5 story building isn't tall enough to escape street noise or people looking in. Seems kind of an odd choice but it is central and therefore, for someone who probably uses nothing but private car service, very convenient.
I worked briefly with Chelsea Clinton in 2005 when she worked for McKinsey and they were also consultants for a mutual client. I was in my office one morning and saw someone walk by the door and I remember thinking 'wow that person looks a lot like Chelsea Clinton.' She had no attitude, was approachable and did her job. I really wanted to talk to her about growing up in the Whitehouse and how she put up with national media crap and criticism but the opportunity never presented itself so it was all business.
