Inatteso.
From one of my clients: &#8220;Hubby and I loved Inatteso when we finally went a couple months ago.  It had great atmosphere, food and wine, with a nice bar area.  It was reasonably priced too.  Everything else coming to mind in South BPC is very ho-hum.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[
If you&#8217;re still employed, walkaways because of price drops don&#8217;t make any sense to me.
If the price had gone up 10% or 20% or 30% you wouldn&#8217;t be beating the developer&#8217;s door down to pay him more money.

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to streeteasy for this one. Usually the lease overrides but does not preclude the sale &#8212; so yes, the owner can sell, but then the new owner has to wait for the tenant&#8217;s lease to expire before moving in.

When you buy into a co-op, you buy shares of stock in the corporation that controls the building. The corporation has a right to know who&#8217;s holding their stock, so if you pledge it to a bank for a mortgage, the bank makes the co-op sign a [...]]]></description>
