I was told it's the Apthorp.

Evidently, Cyndi Lauper lives in my neighborhood. Apparently, her apartment's less than ten blocks from mine. Anecdotally, she isn't easy to spot because she knows how everyone expects her to dress, so if she dresses up as though she's going to work in a law firm, people might think that the woman they pass looks kind of like Cyndi Lauper, but they're not going to look twice to double check if that's really her.

I'm not going to try to keep an eye out for her from here on out. There's no reason to. I don't have anything I'd want to say to her, not specifically and not personally, and the idea of keeping an eye out for a celebrity spotting doesn't sit well with me on general principle. That said, I'll admit there's something compelling about the reminder of how densely settled Manhattan is, and how easy it is for all kinds of people to share the same space.
