A SoHo Studio to Enchant a Bride and Her Entourage
Up-and-coming designers who need to work with employees and clients might require multiple spaces: a home, a studio, a showroom, maybe even a place to host larger events. When Meredith Stoecklein, 39, the founder of the New York-based bridal and fashion brand Lein, started looking for her next Manhattan apartment in 2023, she thought she could blend all these functions in a single space. Previously, she had rented an apartment in TriBeCa and a studio in the garment district, but during the pandemic she let the leases expire as she escaped to Sun Valley, Idaho. When she began planning her return to New York, 'I spent months looking for a place that was leased residential and commercial,' she said. 'The issue was: How do I make it feel like a studio space and not have clients feel like they're walking into my apartment?' She landed in a sun-filled loft with high ceilings in SoHo, which she rented for $7,700 a month that October. It's 1,500 square feet were a lot for New York, but too little for everything she wanted to accomplish. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Son of former world No. 1 golfer gets through U.S. Open local qualifying
Son of former world No. 1 golfer gets through U.S. Open local qualifying Between the time Thomas Lehman posted his 2-under 70 in a U.S. Open local qualifier at Classic Club in Palm Desert and the time he teed off in a playoff at the event, he had time to eat a hamburger lunch and wonder if he would even make the playoff. 'I thought on 18 I was 1 under and I figured a birdie would either get me in or there would be a playoff,' Lehman said. 'I ended up being right." Lehman, the son of 1996 British Open champion, 1996 PGA Tour Player of the year and former No. 1-ranked Tom Lehman, did make a three-for-one playoff for the fifth and final berth out of the Classic Club qualifier. With a birdie on the second playoff hole, the par-5 ninth, Lehman advanced to final qualifying for the second time in five attempts. Lehman, 29, lives in Arizona, but was at Classic Club in Palm Desert because all the local qualifiers in Arizona were filled by the time he registered. So instead, he picked a familiar course to play. 'I played here in college (at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo) and I have good memories here,' Lehman said. 'So I figured I would come back here.' Lehman's 70 was two shots off the co-medalists score of 68 by Casey Adams of Olympia, Washington, and Benjamin Lein of Diamond Bar, who insists he's not really a competitive golfer anymore. Having stepped away from competition for the last four years, playing mostly U.S. Open local qualifiers, Lein now has a company representing other athletes. 'The gusts definitely got up, probably 20 mph at the end,' said Lein, who played in the next-to-last group of the day. "It was still pretty windy (in the morning) when I teed off. It was probably 10 of 15 mph.' Lein raced out to the lead Monday with a 31 on the front nine including an eagle on the par-5 ninth, three birdies and one bogey. He then made eight consecutive pars on the back nine, closing with a bogey on the par-5 18th that dropped him into a tie with Adams. Adams' day was much calmer, with no bogeys and four birdies, two on each nine. Also getting through to final qualifying Monday were amateur Eddie Zhang of Sarasota, California, and Joey Herrera of Fillmore, who each shot 69. In the playoff for the fifth spot as well as the two alternate spots from the 75-player field, Lehman punched his second shot on the par-4 eighth through the wind and just over the green, but he made his 4 to match David Gazzolo of Riverside and David Bradshaw of Harper's Ferry, West Virginia. On the second playoff hole, Lehman was the only player to find the green in two shots, with Gazzolo going over the green into a lake and Bradshaw coming up short of the putting surface near the lake. Lehman two-putted from about 20 feet for his birdie, then watched as Bradshaw missed a 12 footer for birdie that put Lehman through to the next stage. Only three desert golfers were in the Classic Club field, led by Chris Evans of Mountain View Country Club with a 74. Blake Schmitt of Ironwood Country Club shot 78, while Arvo Voip of The Springs Club shot an 81. Sectional qualifying will be held June 2 at 10 courses across the country. The U.S. Open will be played June 12-15 at Oakmont Country Club outside of Pittsburgh.
