You might be under the impression that you live in a small space.
This may be the case, however, I can guarantee that it is not as tiny as professional chef Grayson Altenberg’s new apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
A recent New York transplant from the Midwest, the 22-year-old moved into a 100-square-foot studio this summer and hasn’t regretted his decision. Yet.
The media — The Village Voice, New York Post, and the Today show, for example — has gawked at his extremely compact lifestyle, but Altenberg says he’s happy to occupy his 100-square-foot space.
A line cook at Lincoln Ristorante, we were intrigued that a restaurant professional could stand to live in a space that has no counter tops for slicing, dicing, and chopping — not to mention a stove.
Turns out, he’s perfectly capable of making a delicious dish with just a hot plate, mini fridge, and portable tray. Take a look at his process, and a (very quick) tour of his place.
This shows most of Altenberg’s apartment — behind me, there’s a closet-size toilet “room,” and to the left is a shower. And yes, that is a cast iron skillet hanging right above his pillows. He sleeps on an air mattress.
Altenberg has to be smart about organizing his belongings. He’s got these nifty shelves for his dry food and a shoe rack just the left.
He also keeps some cookbooks around — inspiration for an aspiring chef.
