- Someone in your building has a battery-operated radio, so no need to hit every Duane Reade, Radio Shack, and Best Buy between 96th and Chinatown to find the one that didn't get snapped up.
- Small apartment means less windows to break.
- You can have really loud sex and blame the noise on the screaming wind.
- No basement to flood--or if it does, it's the super's problem.
- You might actually eat the food in your fridge/pantry instead of going out or ordering in.
- Outfitted with a soccer ball and a wee-wee pad, the hallway can stand in for the park for the next few days.
- Instead of feeling jealous like usual, you get to pity everyone planning to spend the last week of August at the beach.
- Your kids will finally play with their Christmas/Hanukkah gifts.
- Blackout-equivalent bragging rights.
- Your stuck-up sister-in-law with the Zone A penthouse suddenly sees your Zone C walk-up in a whole new light.
