“Ogling other people’s real estate has become the national pastime. But for jaw-dropping apartment porn, it’s hard to beat Michael Gross’s description of corporate raider Saul Steinberg’s place at 740 Park Avenue circa the ’70s… But Gross’s 740 Park doesn’t stop there… Gross traces the history of this fabled 75-year-old edifice and its inhabitants, who have included John D. Rockefeller Jr., Jackie Onassis, Ronald Perelman, and Henry Kravis.
