In 2016, Glassman purchased a farmhouse in New York’s Hudson Valley and moved from a capacious downtown loft into a two-bedroom apartment. His recalibration necessitated a huge clothing and accessories purge and for one thing, Glassman whittled down his sneakers from 50 to 25 pairs. He enlisted the assistance of professional organizer Jill Matson, whose clients include Sarah Jessica Parker and Robert Downey Jr., for help. Matson helped him categorize and color-code his knits by style, hue, and weight.^[6]

Adam's favorite TV shows are The Carrie Diaries, Downton Abbey and Homeland.^[7]
