One of the bridges in Central Park. It is about 5 minutes from my new apartment.
Well I am back in the city and moved into my place. I do really like my new place......even though it is so small. It is half a block from Central Park. Actually from close to the centre of Central Park. I am right at the Jacqueline Onassis Reservoir. It really is very nice. But back to my apartment.
No, you cannot see my building in this picture but it only takes me about 5 minutes to walk here from my building. It is just down the path from the bridge in the first picture.
When I first arrived and starting loading my stuff inside, I wasn't sure I was even going to be able to get everything in. I had a few small panic attacks yet some how I still ended up at Bed Bath and Beyond to buy more stuff. Eventually I got everything put in it's place. I seem to have stuff stashed everywhere but it works......somehow it all works.
The old US Mail chute that you can still find in my building. It isn't in use anymore, but you can't get rid of something like this.
The building is....well it is old, like so much of New York, so of course I am intrigued by that. However, my apartment and a lot of the building has been recently renovated (no one has lived in my apartment since the renovations were done.....it is nice) so you don't really feel the age of the building that much.
My apartment from the door......and that's about it.
Watching TV from my bed. That door in the corner is my bathroom.....which is surprisingly large but I really couldn't get a good picture of it.
Looking across my bed from the window sill. Yes, that is my kitchen. No counter or cupboard space but the appliances are brand new so I gues it all evens out. Plus I do have a table that moves very easily and doubles as a counter top when it isn't being used as a desk.
Watching TV (well not right now) from my couch.
Looking out my window. Not a bad view. I could be on the other side of the building and look out over the road. In case you are wondering, this looks north.
And well that is about it. Not a lot of space but I am making it work. It is in a great part of the city and has a 24 hour doorman (they are all really nice). The hospital I am working at is on the Upper East side so I literally have to go across town to get there, however I have worked out that I can still walk there in about 30 minutes. Plus there is a bus almost right outside my door that gets me pretty close too. I really can't complain.
