Remember your first apartment in the city? Was it a hovel, a nightmare, or a sweet memory you're glad is part of your history? For our inaugural episode of the Brick Undergound Podcast, we thought it only right to talk to New Yorkers about the agony and the ecstasy of finding, or living in, their first NYC apartment.

Want to share your own first apartment story, or have a great story about navigating NYC's maze of a real estate market? Or about life in this sometimes frustating but always fascinating city? We'd love to hear from you! Comment on this post or email us at: podcast@brickunderground.com.

And tune in every few weeks for more tales of the city (NYC, not SF—our apologies to Armistead Maupin).
