The pandemic diary of six surprise roommates.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit the NYC area, six friends were fortunate enough to temporarily live together in the Catskill Mountains of New York. This diary logs all that they ate, drank, and did over the course of 3 months as a short weekend stay became a long-term communal living experiment.

The full house at our first (and what we thought would be our only) holiday in the “bunker” - St. Patrick’s Day! Jokingly comparing the situation to our beloved TV show “Terrace House: Boys and Girls in the City”, a Japanese reality show where various housemates go through the rigors of daily life, we started referring to our experience as “Terrace House: Boys and Girls in the Bunker.”
