Gil and George's Apartment

Gil and George's apartment is on West 73rd and Columbus, Manhattan, New York. It is a rent-controlled, ground floor, five bedroom apartment that the two men paid $75 in rent per month for 40 years.

The entrance to Gil and George's apartment has a mezuzah on the wrong side of the door, near the rusty nail where a previous mezuzah was. Upon entering, there is a table with a picnic tablecloth on it and two vintage hairdryers at the back window. There is also a staircase leading upstairs. In the living room, there is a bookshelf with Gil's vintage snow globe collection, as well as "Alda News That's Fit To Print," a collection of every newspaper that mentions Alan Alda. In the 90's, George named six mice after the characters in Friends.

History
Gil first found out about the apartment in the late 1960's, the same month that he met George. It is possible that the apartment belonged to a dead man, and the two had lived there for that exact purpose. The building most likely gained a different landlord after the men moved in, one who did not notice that the two men had been living in the dead man's apartment.

Both George and Gil's wives and children lived in the apartment, although many moved out either voluntarily (Gil's wife) or forcibly (George's wives).
