Famous residents of the San Remo apartments included Diane Arbus, Harold Arlen, John Barrymore, Bono, Eddie Cantor, Glenn Close, Jack Dempsey, Rita Hayworth, Dustin Hoffman, Mick Jagger, Barry Manilow, Steve Martin, Demi Moore, Bruce Willis, Mary Tyler Moore, Stephen Sondheim, Stephen Spielberg, Isaac Stern, and Tiger Woods.
I wonder if any other private residential building housed so many different celebrated people.

“Dear Brooklyn,
I love you. Continue to allow everyone to be who they are, to be free, and to be different. Not only should you step outside the box, but make sure to jump on it and kick it until it breaks . Most of all, maintain the love and joy that is in your city walls. You are beautiful just the way you are.
Yours, Anonymous human being
P.S. Please remember to take out the trash!”
