Touristy, but nice

State Street, New York, New York, United States
By kinfae on Sep 05, 2008
3/5
Bordering Battery Park City, this street runs from Bowling Green down to South Ferry. It's a high point for tourists-the double decker buses leave from a spot midway between, and hot-dog vendors and ice-cream sellers are plentiful here-as, during the day, are ...

Small apartments, big feel.

Riverside Drive, New York, New York, United States
By kinfae on Sep 05, 2008
4/5
Like many other older sections of New York, many of the apartments here were made at a time when less spacious living was preferred. But in New York, such a thing can be easily tolerated, on a street midway between park and high-city living. Across the street ...

I've got a lot of love for New York City

New York, New York, United States
By AJ on Sep 05, 2008
4.5/5
I lived in NYC for a short time, and it really is hard to say anything bad about it. While my time in NYC was extremely short, and I hope to get back there very soon...that's how much I enjoyed it. From the big city feel of Broadway to the cosy back alleys, ...

Students Galore! Parents, beware!

Chambers Street, New York, New York, United States
By kinfae on Sep 03, 2008
4/5
Chambers Street is most notable for the schools that are here-both Stuyvesant High School, and the college next door. West Side Highway lets the cars fly by, but don't be afraid if you have small children-the enormous bridge created for the high-schoolers to g...

Charming Street, Good Shopping

Mercer Street, New York, New York, United States
By Jailei on Sep 03, 2008
2/5
Mercer Street is in the heart of Soho, and you can find some great shopping and really interesting boutiques. It's a great little side street to visit if you choose to venture off Broadway when walking downtown, and get lost in the smaller streets cutting up ...

Let's go shopping!!!

Prince Street, New York, New York, United States
By steph711 on Sep 02, 2008
5/5
Shopping in Soho is an experience. Some stores are ridiculously overpriced, but others have really good deals. I bought a cute purse and hat here for only $20. Check out the thai food around here. It’s delicious! I recommend Peep at 177 Prince St. The décor i...

Great for people watching

42nd Street, New York, New York, United States
By steph711 on Sep 02, 2008
5/5
Check out the Central Library on 42nd St. This is my favorite library in the whole wide world. I like to make a whole day of it when I go to this library. I come here to relax and write. If I need a breather I can always go outside and hang out in Bryant Park....

Picturesque, Rich, Quiet

York Avenue, New York, New York, United States
By Anemone10 on Sep 02, 2008
3/5
York ave is entirely a residential street, there is really not much to do here. It is very close to East Side park, which means great access to an area to do some outdoor activities, but otherwise it does not boast much else. It is very quiet, so living here i...

Far, Deserted, Creepy

11th Avenue, New York, New York, United States
By Anemone10 on Sep 02, 2008
2/5
If you want to live next door to Lindsay Lohan, then 11th ave and W 42nd street is the block for you, otherwise, there is really nothing much to do here. This is the type of block that goes mostly unnoticed in New York City. Virtually devoid of traffic, it is ...

The City's Hustle

E 42nd Street, New York, New York, United States
By Anemone10 on Sep 02, 2008
4/5
There's nothing quite as enchanting as being part of New York's hustle and bustle commute, especially during peak traffic hours. During the morning and afternoon commuting hours, Grand Central terminal is teeming with life, and the streets are full of all type...
