What a REAL New York Apartment Looks Like

Has anybody else ever watched Law & Order?  Or any other show set in New York?  While I was in NY, I took pictures of my friend's apartment - which is probably pretty typical of normal people in NY.  Nothing like the movies, that's for sure.  They live on the Upper West Side of Central Park.  A few blocks walk to the park.

The door on the right.  Ring the bell, get buzzed in, then walk up 4 flights of stairs.

The front door is the white thing on the right side.  You walk in and this is their living room/bed.  And you are looking straight into their kitchen from the front door...

Miniature appliances (we also saw a mouse in there at night lol).  Right next to this kitchen, to the left is the downstairs bathroom...

This is looking from their living room into an open area - you can see the baby sleeping in the bassinet/stroller.  The closet on the right is the bead closet and the high door is the baby's room.

Up to baby's room

Baby's room

All of her headbands (she sold them here - it's on 5th Avenue, very swanky and expensive!) the bookshelf and the stairs up to the loft

Scary stairs

The loft.  They keep all of their clothes in that closet, as well as just about everything they own I think.

Upstairs bathroom

The terrace (off of the loft)  This is the envy of their friends.  They have all of their parties here because they can all hang out in "outside space."  There's also another space with a whole table in it.

And their view from the terrace

I thought it was fascinating when I saw how New Yorkers lived so I hope you enjoyed the tour.  Their apartment is really cute and it's such a fun city.  I don't blame them for giving up sprawling yards and square footage in the house to live in such a fun and exciting city.
