WE met Michael on a walk in the West Village during one of those long, warm summer evenings.  He and Skylar were chilling and skating a makeshift ramp in an empty lot.  We stopped to ask Michael about his idea of the Good Life.

MUSIC PRODUCER/PAINTER

WHAT’S YOUR CONCEPT OF THE GOOD LIFE?

“Stability.  I want to be successful at something.  Having a good job, good people around…prosperous.”

IT’S no secret that the West Village of Manhattan is a lovely, relatively tranquil nook.  A world away from the congested grid zone.  It’s the perfect place to have a cocktail at a sidewalk table, and contemplate your next power move.
