HERE COMES THE SUN
WE ARE delighted to introduce the Spring/Summer issue of Elliman magazine. These blissful, sun-drenched months are the ideal time of year to follow Ralph Waldo Emerson’s advice and “Live in the sunshine. Swim in the sea. Drink in the wild air.” Enjoying the great outdoors does more than make us happy. Studies show that spending time basking in the warm spring breezes and soaking up the summer sunshine fuels our creativity and makes us more open to new ideas and growth in our own lives. In that spirit, we have filled this issue with potential sources of inspiration for you. We invite you to explore today’s most exciting new lifestyle trends. Find out about the new fashion for high-end hotel living. In the grand tradition of Coco Chanel, Eloise, and Cole Porter, you can check into a legendary icon such as the Waldorf Astoria—and never have to check out again (“Permanent Vacation,” p. 18). Or discover the romantic appeal of owning a private island.
