Lenny Kravitz' Childhood home

You are approaching five East Eighty-second Street, a modest building that served as the childhood home for rock legend Lenny Kravitz. During his early years, Kravitz lived here in a small third-floor apartment with his parents, actress Roxie Roker and television news producer Sy Kravitz. The space was tight, with his parents sleeping on a couch in the living room so that their son could have the only bedroom. For the young musician, the Metropolitan Museum of Art served as his personal backyard, located just steps away at the end of the block.
