Having grown up in the Langham on Central Park West, reporter Ralph Gardner Jr. has always been fascinated with the building's neighbor: the Dakota. A friend finally invited him in, and despite renovations, Gardner said "it's still possible to imagine turning a corner late at night and coming face to face with the ghosts of illustrious residents past, if not with the devil's spawn." His host simply described the place as being like "Hogwarts." Another resident told him about the building's annual October party, to which John and Yoko would always "bring an enormous tray of sushi." Apparently Yoko still does. [WSJ; all Dakota coverage]
