So. I go to Columbia, but many of us dislike living in the bubble that is Morningside Heights. So we got apartments. I was in the newy built, green Khalahari.  It has amazing views, and nice amenities, and everyone was impressed. That is, until we visited my friend Nancy in her apartment.

Doorman: Can I help you?
Me: I''m here to see X in ___
Doormen: go right up
*5 seconds ater I am 40 stories high....I kid you not. fastest elevator in the city.

We walk in and are greeted by not just one, but two floor to ceiling windows/walls overlooking downtown and the Hudson. I neary died from the view and plotted how to throw a party without her knowing.

Then she took us down to the gym, which is better than any gym membership, hands down.

The lounge, known as "Five", is uber sexy yet functional; we went onto the rooftop lounge, where creepy old men asked to rub us down, then the rest of the lounge, which has a movie/theatre room, library, kitchen, game room, buffet ( at this point you can oooh and ahh in envy) and the doormen are hot. I am now trying to change my lease so i too can live in the lap of luxury.

I stayed here on my recent trip to New York, borrowing a friend's apartment.  The doormen were polite and efficient (and one gave me some great info about getting into Monument Park at Yankee Stadium) and the apartments were well appointed with great views.  The Lounge and gym were also top-notch.  

I wouldn't mind living here if I ever move to the city.
