Now that’s what I call a penthouse.

FTA:

The rooftop—owned by David Puchkoff and Eileen Stukane—was explored by the NY Times in 2006. They reported back from their visit that "the porch is basically a glorified bulkhead over a hole punched in the ceiling of the family’s loft to make way for a nautical stairway that rises to a landing with a galley-like kitchenette, with two paned windows and a door that opens to the roof.

That just makes it even more amazing.

If the police want to bug my house, they have to get a warrant. At least hold Amazon to the same judicial standard. (And I don’t event see Amazon pretending to “Serve and Protect”)

Isn’t that because they were standing in front of a green screen?
