This may be a sensitive subject for some. For others, they can't wait to rip off their clothes when home. Where are we allowed to be naked in New York State anyway? Is there rules and laws when it comes to your own property?

“Nudity is, for better or worse, something that pretty much has to be tolerated when you live in a city as densely populated as New York,” said Eric D. Sherman, a real estate lawyer and a partner at the Manhattan law firm Pryor Cashman.
