* TheAllegedHouse: There are multiple quirks in the apartment, one which sees a lot of use for laughs (and drama) being that it doesn't has a good insulation, which allows the New York winter cold to seep in. It's also five floors up in a building with no elevator and almost everybody that arrives is winded.

Newlyweds Corie and Paul Bratter return from their honeymoon ready to start their exciting new life together in a minuscule fifth-floor walkup apartment in a [[UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity Lower Manhattan]] brownstone, but things aren't exactly going as planned. The impulsive Corie's apartment choice doesn't meet Paul's -- or any sane person's -- standards. Six exhausting flights of stairs lead to a one-room apartment which lacks bathtub, furniture, heat, and room for a double bed. What highlights does the apartment supply? Eccentric neighbors, including the attic-dwelling Victor Velasco, and a giant hole in the skylight. Still, Corie is determined to make things work, even playing matchmaker between Velasco and her widowed mother, Ethel Banks.

* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Paul is a straight-laced attorney, Corie a far more spontaneous free spirit.
* TitleDrop: Corie and Paul have a fight where she says they have nothing in common, and he says "Why? Because I won't go barefoot in the park?"
* ToiletSeatDivorce: Paul and Corie have a blow-up after the uncomfortable evening out with Victor Velasco and Corie's mom, which starts with them arguing about his fuddy-duddy ways and her rather extreme ManicPixieDreamGirl ways, which eventually blows up into Corie demanding a divorce.
