    The Covetables Yes, we’d all like to live in the Dakota. Or 740 Park, the Beresford, or 15 CPW. In addition to those old standbys of lust­worthiness, the city is brimming with slightly less bold­faced but equally desirable buildings— that are just as impossible to penetrate. Here, a peek inside the Red Hook rental with a 40­person wait list, the Fifth Avenue co­op straight out of an Edith Wharton novel, and the $525­a­month Chelsea studio. By S.Jhoanna Robledo Published Dec 15, 2013 The Perfectly Quaint Mews: Sniffen Court Back in the 1800s, the city’s mews houses were used as shelter for carriages and the pungent animals that pulled them. In the early twentieth century, these carriage houses were either demolished or (Photo: © Patti McConville/Alamy) restored as quaint, picturesque cobblestoned alleys. Of these, Sniffen Court, a charming nook with only ten houses off East 36th Street that were intended as stables for affluent families in nearby mansions, is one of the most Currier & Ives–esque. Built by three developers (none of them, incidentally, John Sniffen, to whom it supposedly owes its Seussian name), the street is beloved because of its petiteness—the better to take in its charms in one fell swoop, says Andrew Dolkart, director of the historic­p​ reservation program at Columbia University—and, according to a Landmarks Preservation Commission report, it boasts “well­preserved original buildings whose exteriors are altered only in minor details.” Very few houses have changed hands over the years, though TV host Graham Norton reportedly bought one in 2003 for $3 million.
