Houdini's house is getting a touch up

If you're heading to New York over the holidays and hoping to get a photo in front of 278, heads up that seeing the outside of the house is a little tricky right now. Our friends Vincent and Niro are having the exterior power washed, cracks repaired, the cornice is being repainted, and other cosmetic touch-ups. It's going to look as good as the day Harry bought it. Probably better!

While you can't see the outside of the house, remember you can see the inside. The owners offer tours. Check out their website house.278.nyc for details, or email Vincent at tours@278.nyc to schedule a time.

We love our friends at 278!
