Being a doorman may sound uneventful, but being one in New York City is anything but. Here is one last look, shift if you will, as my life as one.

As a concierge/doorman there are three main shifts throughout any given work day and I have had the pleasure (displeasure?) or working all of them at some point during my “journey” as a doorman. Today we focus on the beginning, the morning shift. Better be a morning person if you plan on taking this Herculean task or if not, you better have an acquired taste for caffeine.
