Friends > Second Avenue Apartment

Here are a bunch of drawings (1979–1980) of my roommates Madeleine and Liz in our post-college apartment on Second Avenue between 18th and 19th Streets in Manhattan. Lots of other friends lived in that apartment over the next few years, and we all have conflicting recollections of whose bedroom was directly above the cop bar’s jukebox. I can assure you that it was my bedroom.
