It’s always a good time to visit New York. And the wintertime --- despite its bracing, sub-zero temperatures  --- holds...

Remember the Craigslist ad for the Williamsburg dumpster apartment? If you don’t, here’s what the (now expired) ad read: $1200...

Laura Kim’s Brooklyn apartment served as her storage unit. Until the MONSE Co-Founder and former Oscar de la Renta Design Director found MakeSpace.

Frederick Castleberry has no interest in letting bulky winter clothes eat space in his Park Slope apartment. So he sent them to summer storage camp at MakeSpace.

Consensus is overwhelming. You love do-gooding, and so do we.  Our partnership with Goodwill was supposed to end last week, but you spoke and we listened. We’re excited to announce that we’ll continue offering free Goodwill pickups to MakeSpace customers in NYC through the end of 2014!

Shake Shack Culinary Director Mark Rosati is the genius responsible for the restaurant’s incredible menu and one-of-a-kind frozen custard flavors like “Waffles & Bacon” and “Coffee and Donuts.” When we heard that Mark was going to be using MakeSpace, we knew we had to interview him. He was kind enough to take a minute out of his busy schedule to chat with us about everything Shack. Read on for the inside scoop!

Here In New York City, our friends are always complaining that there’s just nowhere to store a grill. To solve this problem once and for all, we’ve rounded up some awesome, compact barbecues that will fit in even the smallest of homes. Here are our favorites:

This world-traveling food lover and journalist received the prestigious award earlier this summer for her show Off The Beaten Palate. She’s using MakeSpace for seasonal storage!

For all you college students out there, we decided to find out just how many packets of Top Ramen fit in a MakeSpace bin.

You might think you don’t know who Ashley Albert is, but you’ve definitely heard her voice. Maybe you’ve listened to her Grammy-nominated children’s band, The Jimmies playing overhead while you strolled through a store. Or if you religiously watched MTV’s Daria as a teenager in the nineties, you might geek out upon learning that Albert was the voice of slow speaking, valley girl Tiffany Blum-Deckler.

Nothing’s better than grilling on a rooftop, drinking beers with friends, and enjoying the fireworks over the East River (Brooklyn and Queens represent). 

If you’re hosting 4th of July festivities this year, make sure to clear a dance floor with MakeSpace. 

There is something unmistakably horrible, awful, and in every way excruciating about the particular sticky heat that seeps in through the cracks of your apartment and nearly suffocates you every summer in New York City.

It’s the kind of heat that makes you wonder if they’ve opened an illegal Russian bathhouse in the apartment below yours. The kind of heat that forces you to shower three times a day. It’s that 200% humidity, 99 degree heat that can only be combated by your trusty air conditioner. Veteran Brooklyners, Manhattanites and the like know that oscillating fans alone just won’t cut it.
