We're back in New York City with architect Nick Potts for a walking tour of the Upper West Side to learn how apartment living was revolutionized by the apartment hotels of that part of the city since the late 1800s.

Also, find out why so many musicians like Rachmaninoff, Mahler, and Stravinsky all lived in The Ansonia. Fascinating.
