Confessions of a New York City Doorman

Sex, drugs and suicide... These are the stories, tales and rumors from a New York City apartment building as told by the overnight doorman. The names of the guilty have been changed to protect the innocent… while the names of the innocent don’t really matter that much anyway. Any similarities or resemblance to real people or real stories are very intentional.

Understanding Responsibilities

Some buildings have two doormen. That way one can bring your groceries, laundry/dry cleaning or any delivery into your apartment, while the other minds the door. I think this is absurd. Of course, there are much larger buildings with multiple entries, but I mean your standard one-door apartments need just one doorman.

Do I really need help here? I mean, if you go to a store, buy something, leave it there, it might be more convenient for that to be in your apartment when you get home. But how many times do I need to tell you that you can never fully trust your doorman? We know everything.

Doormen screen visitors. We'll hold the door for you when your hands are full and sign for packages. But as far as running errands? Not a part of the deal.

I'm not your butler.
