McCord-Van Kempen Sighting
When most A-list celebs walk past me I barely blink an eye, but when I saw a certain BMW park in front of DUB Pies on Columbia Street and watched a certain tall, goateed man get out with his strawberry blonde-headed wife and two adorable children, I got as giddy as a school girl. Yep, I had a "Real Housewives of New York City" sighting of Alex McCord and Simon van Kempen on Sunday, and I will now feel a certain kinship with the family whenever I dig into a DUB Pie. For more on the McCord-Van Kempens, check out the recent NYMagazine article.
NYMag also took that nice photo above.

I'm so glad you posted this. . .I've spotted the family a few times by their house on Butler (the gray brick building right off of Smith Street). What I can't figure out is why I only see non-McCord-vanKempen individuals sitting on the stoop. . . I know the famed family lives there. I've watched McCord say goodbye to the kids before she leaves for work and the kids scuttle back into the basement apartment with the nanny. . . The show makes it seem like they own the whole building, but I'm beginning to think that they "merely" rent the basement apartment.
I can imagine US Magazine... They eat Dub Pies, just like US!
