As the sun set over Central Park on Monday night, a parade of black town cars arrived at 834 Fifth Avenue, depositing well-heeled Republican donors in front of the Upper East Side apartment of Jets owner Woody Johnson. (Real estate side note: The 14-room, 5.5-bath duplex—site of many a GOP fundraiser over the years—is currently listed for $75 million—cash only—and features an “elegant curved staircase” that spans floors 11 and 12 of the illustrious co-op. Have at it!)
