A political housewarming, with a Forest City cameo

In the department of "It can't hurt to know the right people," from Politico NY playbook today:

HOUSEWARMING: Melissa DeRosa, chief of staff to the governor, had a housewarming party in Brooklyn Heights this weekend, with husband Matt Wing, a former aide to the governor and Bill de Blasio, who now is the northeast spokesman for Uber. At their party were: Cuomo aide Alphonso David; Democratic spokeswoman Lis Smith; NY1 reporters Grace Rauh and Zack Fink; De Blasio aide Lincoln Restler; Cuomo press secretary Dani Lever; Ashley Cotton, a senior v.p. for Forest City Ratner and former Cuomo aide. Also, an attendee said “their new rooftop terrace … has a view of Joe Lhota’s rooftop.”
