When a diner at Besito in Roslyn asked about the hullabaloo inside the restaurant last night, he had this to say when told that it was a panel on real estate.
"They better take out their hankerchiefs."
Yet many of the North Shore agents from Prudential Douglas Elliman who attended the event reported that sales are up in their tony territories. "We are selling," said Nahid Akins, executive director of Prudential's North Shore Group/Great Neck. "Houses are moving if the price is right."
The party was actually a meet-the-press event with reporters from The New York Times, Long Island Business News, Anton Community Newspapers and Newsday. (That's yours truly in the royal blue.)

Lower the price and it sells; gee, who would have thunk it?
Quite a concept, I might add.
