A few years ago in NYC you could go to Times Square and receive, for free, a key.  It came with a map that would take you to secret doors throughout the city to unlock.  

I followed the map to a spot not far from my house, but on a block I'd never seen.  I came to a tin box mounted in a Brooklyn alleyway.  It looked like a meter, or something that might just be attached to the building anyway.  I turned the key, and heard this, against the low hum of an urban afternoon.
