One thing that's true of New Yorkers is that they'll find ingenious ways to stay in the (very expensive) city they love. For one couple, that meant switching up their living situation to something more unorthodox.

Together with husband Jon Vidar, Fine shares roughly 200 square feet (which is more than some people settle for in NYC.) Here's how they make it work.
