You may think you have strange neighbors, but they can’t compare to this New York City guy.
In a spacious (by NY standards) 800 square foot apartment, this eccentric city dweller assembled a bizarre and unusual collection. Medical oddities? Check! Creature from the black lagoon bathroom? Check! Over 200 sets of dental molds? Check! The head of Johnny Depp? Yes, indeed! It’s all there, along with a collection of native masks that puts Disney’s Adventurer Club to shame, and a Frankenstein collection that Igor would envy.
When I think of apartments in NY, I picture Seinfeld’s, or those of the Friends, but this one is far more interesting!
