Our UES apartment is pretty large, but I've always complained that we don't have a balcony like all the higher floors. Who's got the balcony now, bitches? That would be ME: 20,000 square feet of elevated outdoor space -- complete with trees! -- courtesy of the bridge scaffolding now encircling the building just below my window. Sure, by next week it'll be covered in dust, chemicals, and high-pressure hydro backwash, but meantime I'll be grilling out with all the new pals I met at the Jimmy Buffett concert last night. Suck it, Brooklyn.
