Unconventional Living: New Yorkers Embrace Bathtubs in the Kitchen
Many New York City apartments have eccentric kitchens, with features like bathtubs, miniature appliances, and outdated ovens. These peculiar kitchens are often a snapshot of the city's history, with bathtubs in the kitchen being a requirement after the New York Tenement House Act of 1901. Despite the limited space and unconventional layouts, New Yorkers have found creative ways to make do and even enjoy their wacky kitchens, using mini fridges, toaster ovens, and Instant Pots to cook delicious meals. Some have even turned their kitchens into photo shoot studios or storage spaces for books and tchotchkes.
