10 Of Our Favorite New Yorkers Talk Their First NYC Apartment

I always said my first apartment in the city was going to be my biggest apartment in the city for a while! And it was true!!  I decided to move out of the dorms at NYU and into to my own apartment with one of my best friends from high school 

Somehow we got so lucky and moved into The Archive in the West Village - she had the lofted bedroom and I had the bedroom downstairs with huge ceilings. 

We had the most massive guest closet that was basically the size of a bedroom and an extra guest bathroom that we used only to blow dry our hair! 

One of our other best friends essentially moved in with us as well, and she just shared my bed. We were either studying like crazy or partying like crazy! Lots of crazy late nights in that place - holds a very special place in my heart. 

I was also introduced to my husband at that time so we spent a lot of time getting to know each other as friends while we were there. While I was up all night writing my college essays he would just hang out, and always said he loved me the most in my sweats ;)
