A new nightmare born of luxury real estate: tours for adults. New York Post rEPORTS sailing trips and apple orchard outings are considered hot amenities for New Yorkers who “may still find it difficult to mix and mingle in real life,” but also have about $3,000 to spend on a studio on the ground floor in Midtown East. The activities envisioned by developers like Brodsky seem to be moving fast: Tours offered in the past year to residents of those buildings — such as wine tasting with 50 strangers who happen to be your neighbors — have sold out immediately.

One Park Point in Windsor Terrace and Maven in Mott Haven also organize tours for their residents, including horseback riding in Prospect Park and food tours in the Bronx. An executive from Focus Property Group, which developed One Park Point, said Post that they planned to expand the menu of options to include scavenger hunts, sleigh rides and running clubs. So if you start seeing groups of adults running around Prospect Park looking for Easter eggs filled with clues written by a management company employee, at least you know what’s up.

Call me old fashioned, but back in my day, we ignored our neighbors until we suddenly got mad at the building management about the heat going off, at which point we became friendly enough to talk nonsense in the elevator and water the plants each other when we got wet. you are out of town If the building management invited us to go apple picking, we would think it was a trick! And it turns out it’s kind of a trick! A broker told him Post that the exits were a way for developers to try to “remain competitive” rather than “price-cutting” rents. And the outings aren’t even free—an apple-picking trip to Pennings Orchard cost residents $70.
