Speaking as someone who has had a doorman in the past, and currently lacks one, they are at they best when they serve as a “bouncer” to throw out homeless interlopers, annoying salesmen, and Chinese restaurant menu distribution agents. The latter is a particular pet peeve of mine as everytime I get home from work, there must be 10 menus dumped at my door!

The worst is when there is a food delivery guy in your building and he stops at your apartment and slides a menu through your door. It gives me the creeps!

The future of doorman can be found in this article.

Anyway, I have nostalgic feelings about chinese food menus being slipped under your door. I used to like chinese food a lot and in Manhattan, you can eat at a different chinese food restaurant every night for a solid year before you have to start the cycle again - and by then, most of the restaurants are now under "new management" with revamped menus so it's like going to a whole new restaurant.

Egg rolls are very fattening but they are good, especially in Manhattan.
