Have you checked your chi lately? The Chinese art of Feng Shui can help make sure its moving in the right direction. Many believe that the secret of achieving everything from good health to romance to career success can be determined by your chi, which means “flow of energy.” Feng Shui teaches that one can achieve harmony with their environment through informed arrangement of furniture and the inclusion of objects such as water and stones. In order to achieve future happiness and prosperity, believers in Feng Shui suggest having a consultation by a master before renting an apartment or buying a home or business. Traditionally the title of “Master” is only given to those who have studied the art for more than 10 years. Feng Shui Master John Tsang teams with our host Shirley to help situate a home in a manner that maximizes its positivity. Email John Tsang at fengshui68@aol.com for a consultation.

Greenpoint, Brooklyn is blowing up. This old, quiet and still affordable neighborhood is often forgotten about as it is situated between the hot spots of Williamsburg and Long Island City. Apartment hunters are now realizing that the convenient proximity to Manhattan that these two areas provide, can also be enjoyed from their neighbor in 11222.

Commuters can hop on the G train to find mom-and-pop shops on Manhattan Avenue, stylish boutiques and dining on Bedford Avenue and 35 acres of green, open space at McCarren Park. Dig into an authentic Polish meal at King’s Feast, get cozy at the Greenpoint Coffee House on Franklin, or dance the night away at disco Club Europa. With an average price of $800,000 for a two-bedroom apartment, great values can still be found on the northern part of Brooklyn.

Newspaper editor Horace Greeley may have said “Go West” but here in New York it’s more like “Go North.” The northern migration has become so popular, former Manhattanites are beginning to infiltrate The Bronx. With them, and the real estate brokers who serve them, come the neighborhood acronyms that are a trademark of the island. Like SoHo, Nolita, and LES before it, comes SoBro. Whether you call this area SoBro, Mott Haven or just the South South Bronx – one thing is certain: when a neighborhood gets an acronym, it has officially arrived. CiNYC Host Hank explores 10454 with a local broker who shows us how much business development is truly booming.
