The good feeling she had when she walked into the first-floor commercial space in the three-story brownstone was equaled by the good feeling that hit her when she met the landlord, Grzegorz (Gregory) Pasternak. I love that about him.”Ms. Blat learned that Mr. Pasternak had owned the place, a designated landmark, for decades, as he walked her through 30 years of history. “I realized immediately after talking to her,” Mr. Pasternak said, “that the space fit her very well because it had a previous history of being artsy. The experience wasn’t like any other landlord experience I’ve had in New York. Usually all they want is your money and they don’t really care about what you’re doing,” she said, laughing.
