Living in a big city comes with a hefty price tag, which is why city workers often choose to live in the suburbs at a fraction of the price and put up with a grueling commute instead. But one commuter is going to extreme lengths to get to her New York office: When Sophia Celentano was an intern, she took a plane ride to work.
