A Shoe Box 78-Square-Foot Manhattan Apartment In #HellsKitchen
The apartment in the video reminded me of the apartment in the end of the film election starring Matthew Broderick and Reese Whiterspoon in the end of the film he moves to NYC living a tiny studio apartment.
According Curbed This 78 square foot studio in midtown is inhabited by Luke Clark Tyler, who just so happens to be an architect. He’s paying $750 per month for the Hell’s Kitchen apartment but he seems to have a relatively organized hold of things. He doesn’t have to cook any meat since he’s a vegetarian, so the lack of a kitchen seems relatively tolerable to us.

Fantastical Sport Of Quidditch Has Real Tournament In Hell’s Kitchen
Five years ago, Middlebury College students in Vermont adapted the literary sport into a live-action, non-flying field game. Now, seven non-magical people, or “muggles,” form a team, straddle brooms and chase a ball.
“This sort of developed from Sunday bocce into Sunday quidditch. It was just a time when we got together and played, and all of a sudden in over the past five years it’s become something a lot more than that,” said Quidditch World Cup founder Rainy Johnson.
Organizers said competitors came from as far as Texas, Florida and Canada to take part in the tournament and two of the teams are from New York City.
“It’s a fantasy game. When you read the game, you’re like, ‘Wow, I want to play this.’ And then someone creates a game that muggles can play, and now we’re here and we’re playing 46 other schools. That’s amazing,” said player Chris Shaw.
Never in their wildest dreams did the organizers imagine that their love of the Harry Potter franchise would turn into such a large-scale sporting event that attracts legions of fans of the boy wizard.

“We’re all a bunch of book lovers and if it wasn’t for this one book, or seven books, we wouldn’t be here. And it’s so fantastic to be able to see our love bring us out here on this gorgeous day, to be able to run around and have so much fun,” said Christine Scott, a diehard Harry Potter fan.
The weekend-long competition’s winning team will earn a big trophy and international quidditch bragging rights, but some players said being in such a welcoming community made them already feel like winners.
“For us, it’s just about having fun, enjoying ourselves. It’s about the experience, the atmosphere. You know, having a bunch of people around that feel the same way you do,” said player Chelsea Harris.
International Quidditch Association officials estimate more than 100 schools now play the game
