Mike D's Cobble Hill Home Profiled in the Times
The Beastie Boy moved from the Upper West Side to Brooklyn for the extra space, according to the interview.
In an article published on Wednesday in the New York Times, Michael Diamond—known to many as Mike D of The Beastie Boys—opened up the "vernacular, sensitive, modern" home he shares with wife Tamra Davis and their children in Cobble Hill.
The family moved from the Upper West Side to Brooklyn mainly for the extra space and backyard, he told the Times.
“We can have dinner outside,” Mr. Diamond said in the article, who also grows his own basil and strawberries. “The kids can eat, then run down and play basketball.”
A slideshow featuring the brownstone's interior in all its modern glory—including the Brooklyn toile wallpaper created in collaboration with nearby Flavor Paper—is viewable on the New York Times website.
