These five pieces are part of larger collection of anecdotes about the author's life in New York City in the 60's and 70's. The single subject in this book is apartments. The first shows us the art of looking for one. The second notes that an apartment is not the only thing you need, if you have a car. The third brings us to the Fish Market, and a job on Wall St. The forth is a vignette about Ellie and the East Village. The last is an apartment to die for.
