Fran Lebowitz is New York City’s (and America’s) most sardonically astute social commentator, as you may already know after watching Martin Scorsese’s latest project now available on Netflix, “Pretend It’s a City,” starring the 70-year-old New Yorker. If you’re wondering where Lebowitz lives, you came to the right place. Below shares details about her NYC apartment purchased in 2017.

According to Luxe Listings, Lebowitz is the owner of a $3.1 million condo unit in Chelsea.
The 2,268-square-foot unit was listed for $3.4 million and is a 1-bedroom, with 2 bathrooms and an additional sleeping area. It’s pretty light and airy, but the real question is whether the new pad makes up for the apartment Lebowitz accused Jimmy Fallon of stealing from her.
Fallon now owns five units in Gramercy Park, and also named his daughter “Frances,” which Lebowitz took as more evidence that she was Fallon’s personal life inspiration.

Now, instead of boring you with any details about Lebowitz’s hardwood floors or open kitchen, we will intersperse photos of her new pad with just a few of her mountains of memorable quotes, such as:
“In the Soviet Union, capitalism triumphed over communism. In this country, capitalism triumphed over democracy.”
“Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things and small people talk about wine.”
“There is no such thing as inner peace. There is only nervousness or death. Any attempt to prove otherwise constitutes unacceptable behavior.”
“Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is, therefore, both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass.”
