So we were looking at this otherwise splendid apartment near Central Park a couple of weeks ago, and they were nice to us and took some “probes” whether one kitchen wall can be partly removed. Today we looked at these probes and now we know what is behind/within the shiny white walls (excessive plumbing, amongst other things, so the wall must stay). It reminded me of the movie “Brazil.” A little scary for someone from a country where “wall” means bricks, or in any case, something that’s not empty from the inside…
