When they first moved to New York, Jerry was taking acting classes. Jacquie was working at the Gaslight Club, which was a precursor of the Playboy Clubs that came along later. They shared an apartment with Vaughn Maeder and his wife. The apartment was laid out on a long hallway. They each had one end of it. Vaughn did a wonderful, funny impersonation of John Kennedy that was very popular. Of course after Kennedy was killed it also killed Vaughn's act. There is a Wikipedia entry about Vaughn:

The apartment was nondescript. To liven it up they painted a skyline - profiles of buildings - on the wall of their living room. It wasn't a replica of the New York skyline, just an interesting design.
