We have a rooftop!
Duh! Everyone has a rooftop, but we have one that is accessible and we didn’t even have a clue about it. When we were moving in last November, we had asked if we had rooftop access and were told that we didn’t, so we just left it at that. Then this evening at the suggestion of some friends, I walked above the 2nd floor of my building for the first time ever. I was excited, but also a bit nervous. What if the door was locked and an alarm would go off when you opened it? What if? When we made it to the fifth level of my building, not only was the door not locked, it was WIDE open with a sign that said “for tenant use and their guests.” For the first time since moving to Sunnyside, I got to view our neighborhood with a fresh and new perspective: from the top of our roof. I am so excited at this little discovery and feel like a whole new world in New York has been opened for me.
