Hey Trashies! Previously on MDLNY, Luis f*cked up, Ryan fed a baby, and Fredrik sold half an old factory with breathtaking views of the side of a bridge.
Let’s get to it, shall we?
We open with Luis getting told off by Howard Lorber. He admits he should have been more forceful with his client.

Howard says, “You really need to think these things out. There’s no way the developer is going to discount one of his first units. There’s no need to, it doesn’t make any sense.”
Luis wants to know how he can fix things. Howard says Luis must go to Steve Witkoff, the Great and Powerful Developer. “I can talk to him, but ultimately it will be up to Steve. I think it’s 50/50 that he does it,” he says.
Luis is stressed like never before — he could lose his hard-won reputation overnight, if he fails to pull it off!
Meanwhile, Ryan heads to the Jade penthouse listing in the Flatiron District, which Sherif gave him in exchange for ALLLLLL the favors Ryan did for him, such as giving Sherif an extra 24 hours to fly from Buenos Aires to see the Piero Lissone pad, and… yeah, that’s about it.
Pissed that Emilia replaced his Saved by the Bell DVD collection with socks (and a can of Gold Bond Medicated Foot Powder), he ogles a girl out the window. “I’m engaged, I can’t look at other girls,” he says, in case we missed that clever thing he just got away with.
Ryan arrives at the penthouse, and meets with Sherif and his regular broker, Amy. He interviews, “I would describe Amy as the ‘B’ word — Bossy… bossy… what did you think I was going to say?”
Um, what? Sorry, we were distracted by the hair.
It’s called a ‘comb’, bitch — look into it.
Ryan tries unsuccessfully to kiss up to Amy, then gets the walk-through. The place is very big, and has views of the Empire State Building, plus many other notable features that are not dated at all.
Such as track lighting up the wazoo
And a huge kitchen, the size of which rivals those found in townhouses.
“Logan 5, approach and identify”
He thanks Amy for including him on the listing. “Oh, it wasn’t my idea,” says that bossy bitch with terrible hair. “You need to remember I was here first.” Ooh… the gauntlet is thrown.
