‘Like Many New Yorkers, I'm Quietly Curious About My Neighbors'
Her System Dear Diary: I live in an old, ramshackle building in Brooklyn Heights, and, like many New Yorkers, I'm quietly curious about my neighbors. There's the man upstairs who is learning to play the bass, practicing the same four chords over and over late into the night. There's the young guy who stands outside with one of those toys — the ball on a string you try to catch in a little cup. What is that called? But the neighbor I notice the most is an older woman I will call June. She is small and elegant and mostly keeps to herself. But every so often, I'll find her standing in the doorway, smoking a cigarette, and we'll talk. June has lived in the building for nearly 30 years. She uses a walker, and even with it, her steps are slow and careful. You get the sense that coming downstairs for a cigarette is no small task. So she's devised a system: In her mailbox downstairs, she keeps everything she needs — packs of Camel Lights, a small lighter and two stiff coupons that she wedges into the door frame to keep the front doors from locking. That way, she doesn't have to carry anything, not even her keys. 'Too much trouble otherwise,' she explained to me once.

I Lived Without a Sofa for 2 Months: These 3 Solutions Made It Work
Like many city dwellers, I've always had the problem of too little space in my Manhattan apartment. So when I found myself without a sofa for what I thought would be a week at most, I was thrilled. It felt like the scene in Step Brothers where Will Ferrell yells to John C. Reilly, 'So many activities!' It was the perfect time to declutter my living room before our new sofa arrived. But then a week turned into two months (hello, shipping delays and tariffs!), and I began to get a little antsy without the couch. There wasn't an estimated time for when the sofa would arrive, which made things worse. I thought, how long could we go without such an essential piece? I'm self-aware enough to admit patience is a virtue I lack. Still, after some griping to anyone who would listen, I finally decided that rather than grumbling about the missing couch, I would actually enjoy the free space and maybe even find another way to use it. Turns out, some people intentionally forgo sofas, so I thought I'd take a page out of their book for the time being. How to Adjust to a Living Room Without a Sofa Rethink Your Floor Plan Our previous sofa, which was a large, vintage corduroy sectional, took up most of the room. We actually had to hire a 'couch doctor' to disassemble it on the street and put it back together in our living room. So once it was in place, all the other furniture had to revolve around it. With this anchor piece gone, we had a great opportunity to rearrange things. Take the Opportunity to Declutter I'm a fan of regular decluttering and donating, but I'll admit that when I had a couch in this space, it felt a little overwhelming to do an inventory of the things I wasn't wearing or using anymore. It just felt like there wasn't a place to do that work. So, I took advantage of all the extra square feet to do a complete overhaul. I didn't even feel guilty about basically covering every inch of free floor space in our closet (when paring back my wardrobe) because I wasn't going to host guests anyway without a couch. And the couch-less area you see above also became a great staging area for decluttering other things in the apartment. Revel in the Free Space Channeling my original Step Brothers energy, I accepted what was and turned design lemons into personal lemonade, if you will. The couch-less living room became my rec room. It's somewhat embarrassing to admit this, but I don't usually have enough space to roll out a yoga mat and exercise, so that's exactly what I did. I also had several spontaneous dance parties when I needed a pick-me-up. Without the ability to sit on a sofa and watch television, I read more books than usual. And whenever I needed to sit in the room, I just pulled a chair in from the dining area and set up a desk at my dresser. In the end, our new sofa finally arrived. And while it was comfortable and pleasant for entertaining and relaxing, the room has become somewhat busy again. Even though I don't think I'd want to go that long without a sofa again, I'll admit sometimes I do miss those dance parties and decluttering sessions.
