Doormen of the Big City Hold Power and Secrets
In New York City a doorman knows more about tenants than spouses or therapists. Larry, a chic East Side doorman, notes secrets of couples and observes 33 dogs in his building. Doormen earn about 220 a week plus tips, with Christmas pay rising to 750 1000.
