"I once forgot my passport, and my neighbor who has my key went into my apartment and got my passport and drove out to the airport and brought it to me at 6am on a Saturday morning.
Most people would not even pick up their phone at that time. This friend and neighbor has been there for me, for everything, at this point I would do anything for her." -- Nathana Josephs, Upper West Side
Have story about a NYC neighbor who did something nice? Tell us about it so we can spread a little neighborliness among vertical dwellers.
Besides secondhand smoke and loud neighbors, assessments are among the biggest downers of co-op and condo life.
So we were intrigued when an Upper East Side co-op dweller tipped us off to this strategy for keeping costs under control: Pay the super a portion of any money he or she saves for the building.
Dear Ms. Demeanor,
My DH & I have decided that the thrill is gone… we are divorcing, amicably… I will be staying in the co-op we bought and he is moving.
I am unsure about how to tell the neighbors. Do I grab the bull by the bullhorn and tell everyone I meet? Or is it really no one’s business but mine?
Only, Not Lonely
Dear Not Lonely,
