Nice, Cute, and Convenient

11/10/2008 07:59:22 -07:00

I have heard many people say that outside of Manhattan, the borroughs all look essentially the same: a main street an then blocks upon blocks of strangely named residential streets. If this is the case, then Fresh Pond Road is a nice example of a convenient street in Queens. Branching off form the a...

The best thing to do here is leave!

11/10/2008 07:52:56 -07:00

You would think that this street's proximity to the W96th street subways would make it a more lively place to be, but it is not really somewhere you would want to do more than pass by.

41st Street in Brooklyn is chalked full of small businesses, including some restaurants and churches. This street is moderately busy, as are all streets in the neighborhood. The housing situation in this neighborhood is modest, and I think that this area could be considered on a move to Brooklyn, gi...

On 40th Street

11/09/2008 12:47:33 -07:00

40th Street is almost identical to its neighborhoods, highlights being the housing and the peppering of small service businesses and companies. I liked this street, though moving here would be quite inconvenient for someone coming from Manhattan, as the average Manhattanite doesn’t have a car. This...

On 39th Street

11/09/2008 12:46:37 -07:00

39th Street is a simple street in Brooklyn, New York. There are many residential options and Brooklyn is renown by city dwellers as the borough of choice if you’re looking to ex-pat from Manhattan. On this street, you’ll find some small businesses which catered to people seeking specific services, b...

On 38th Street

11/09/2008 12:45:34 -07:00

This section of Brooklyn wasn’t the prettiest in the neighborhood, nor was the it most dynamic. There’s really not much to offer in the way of nightlife fun on this street, and small businesses were simply that- offering services to people who rside in the community. I liked the calmness of the stre...

On 37th Street

11/09/2008 12:44:38 -07:00

Similar to other streets in the neighborhood, 37th Street in Brooklyn is a nice street in a quaint neighborhood. With small service-oriented businesses, friendly people, and a few tress, this street could be one to consider on a move to Brooklyn. I like the idea of living in Brooklyn, if and only if...

On 36th Street

11/09/2008 12:43:48 -07:00

Nothing really changes from street to street in this Brooklyn neighborhood, and 36th Street is filled with the same offerings of its neighbors: housing, small businesses, and parallel parking. I liked the trees on this street, and the light traffic, but I don’t know if I’d like to live on this stree...

On 35th Street

11/09/2008 12:42:56 -07:00

No Miracle on this 34th Street

11/09/2008 12:41:57 -07:00

Compared to other streets in the area, 34th Street didn’t have as much to offer as its neighbors. I felt that it was a bit more run down and dirty. It was also noisy and there was a good amount of traffic. The hitch to living in certain sections of Brooklyn is a loss of easy accessibility to midtown...

On 33rd Street

11/09/2008 12:40:56 -07:00

Similar to the nearby street in this section of the Brooklyn borough, 33rd Street doesn’t have much to offer in the way of food or fun. There are a few small businesses but nothing worth visiting. This mainly residential street is really geared toward people familiar with the neighborhood, and famil...

On 32nd Street

11/09/2008 12:24:53 -07:00

32nd Street in Brooklyn, with the nearby Greenwood Cemetery, is a mainly residential street, boasting some nice housing options. Though this street is not the prettiest in the neighborhood, it was fairly convenient. I would suggest having a car in this section in Brooklyn, as others are little more...

A "Home" In Brooklyn

11/09/2008 12:23:56 -07:00

With a gas station on the corner, this mainly residential street in Brooklyn was fairly convenient. I liked the look and feel of the street, as well as the friendly people. I thought that though it was a bit run down, which is very common in New York City, this was a place many people felt comforta...

On 30th Street

11/09/2008 12:22:51 -07:00

Similar to other streets in the neighborhood, this mainly residential street is very near the Greenwood Cemetery, an expansive plot. I have never liked the idea of living nearby a cemetery, as it just kind of creeped me out. The street itself was kind of loud, with a lot of traffic, and plenty of th...

On 29th Street

11/09/2008 12:21:06 -07:00

This street in Brooklyn has some small businesses and something a little special... and frightening, being the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Don’t let that scare you away from the neighborhood. The look and feel of the street was average, and with a lot of residential housing, it was mainly a family or...

Welcome to America

09/09/2008 08:44:16 -07:00

Well, There is not much to say about Thomas street except for the fact that it is where all of the fast food brands in American tend to converge. If you’re in the mood for Donuts, Coffee, French Fries, Subway Sandwiches, Fried Chicken, or Pizza then this is definitely the street for you to visit! It...

What You See

09/09/2008 08:39:13 -07:00

Second avenue seems like it is a nice place to live in, especially on the lower east side. The vibrant and varied community adds for some great spots of interest along the block, especially the Israeli Max Brenner Chocolate bar, and the Ukrainian Veselka’s across the street. Second Ave and the East...

In The Mood

09/09/2008 08:29:36 -07:00

Seemingly unassuming, wedged at the edge of Chelsea, W21st street offers very little in variation from the rest of the city. However, there are some choice locations that are a good bet for dinner or just to walk around in. At the intersection with 6th ave, there is a great Belgian restaurant called...

Three Corners of Fun

09/09/2008 08:23:25 -07:00

Although for most of its length, 7th street is just another typical street in the village, the three corners of 1st ave, Ave A and ave B offer three really great places to get a bite to eat, and then to start a bar crawl! Caracas Arepa bar on 7th street and first ave is a small mom and pop shop spec...

Eastern Europe Revolution

09/09/2008 08:10:21 -07:00

Even though as you walk through most of Alphabet City these days, you will notice that there is an influx of Polish and Ukrainian establishments, there are some rare gems in this area which makes it one visiting point that is not to be missed. Although the Lower East Side can be known as the Ukraini...

It's Turning Japanese

09/09/2008 08:04:29 -07:00

If you’re looking for any of the new fad-type Japanese eateries, or the Pinkberry style yogurt shops, then St.Marks Place is, unfortunately, the place to go. St. Marks’ used to be known for its punk bohemian crowd and thus used to cater to the more artsy characters in the City. It is now wall to wal...

Touristy, but nice

05/09/2008 12:22:22 -07:00

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 those guys hawking t-shirts and gold wat...

Small apartments, big feel.

05/09/2008 12:12:56 -07:00

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 is Riverside Park, a place for families,...

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

05/09/2008 00:04:52 -07:00

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, cosy bars and pubs of Soho and Little It...

Students Galore! Parents, beware!

03/09/2008 23:44:04 -07:00

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 get to their trains isn't limited on acce...

Charming Street, Good Shopping

03/09/2008 17:57:14 -07:00

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 Soho. It's a very chic and trendy area....

Let's go shopping!!!

02/09/2008 15:13:34 -07:00

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 is so cool and the people are really frie...

Great for people watching

02/09/2008 15:06:45 -07:00

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. I like how easily accessible it is from...

Picturesque, Rich, Quiet

02/09/2008 10:47:29 -07:00

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 is nice if you prefer the East side. Gene...

Far, Deserted, Creepy

02/09/2008 07:39:33 -07:00

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 easy to drive through but it's not reall...

The City's Hustle

02/09/2008 07:32:49 -07:00

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 types of people heading to fulfill their dut...

What can I say

01/09/2008 22:29:03 -07:00

Let me tell you about W.165th Street in New York (Bronx). I loved it there!! It's was such a good place to live and peaceful was well. I have moved around a lot in my 43 years of living in New York, But never have I had a apartment that was so clean and quiet and the people so nice. There use to be...

My life on W.153rd Street

01/09/2008 22:16:58 -07:00

It's ok if you like fast car and fast life. But if you need a lot of things to do then this is not the place for you. In the summer time they have the Ruckers Basketball Game were some of the big ball players come out and do their thing. But there is not a lot of places to shop or to eat out at.

Washington Square is full of weirdos, but I love the NYU library

01/09/2008 19:52:40 -07:00

I do love the pretty arch over Washington Square Park and I remember seeing Ricki Lake here asking people questions for her show. It's full of weirdos and street performers, but I love this street because of NYU's Elmer Holmes Bobst Library right on 70 Washington Sq. They have a large collection and...

5th Avenue has it all!

01/09/2008 19:39:37 -07:00

You must visit the The Metropolitan Museum of Art on 5th Ave! The Met is so gorgeous! I don't really enjoy the ritzy shops on 5th Ave, but I do enjoy the museums and heading all the way down to New York Public Library near Bryant Park. There is so much to see and do on this street.

Cute apartments and great dining!

01/09/2008 19:35:10 -07:00

I stayed in a hostel in this area and I just loved waking up each morning. Strolling along 72nd St and having chocolate chip pancakes in the diners made me want to live here! It's so close to Riverside Drive so you can stroll to the water or stroll in the other direction and hang out in Central Park...

Great place to shop and relax

01/09/2008 19:28:45 -07:00

I love to go shopping at the Time Warner Center. Every time I go to NYC I always stop by this shopping center when I have to go to the bathroom and I'm hanging out in Central Park. I always shop and then lay out in the park afterwards. It's a great place to take pictures since the Time Warner Center...

Great place to grab a drink

01/09/2008 19:25:25 -07:00

I like coming to Bleecker St to go out for a night on the town. The thought of all of the cool bands that played on Bleecker because of CBGB's always brings me back, but it's a little sad that CBGB's is closed down now. Check out the music shops in this area and go to a few bars. You'll love the vib...

Loving Times Square & Broadway Shows

01/09/2008 19:01:31 -07:00

I always love going to Times Square on Broadway. I enjoy going here in the early morning when the people are busy bustling about to get their day started. I can be a bit frustrating trying to get through here when you're in a hurry and then have a tourist just stop in front of you to take a picture...

Surprisingly Beautiful Parks

01/09/2008 16:35:00 -07:00

When thinking of the FDR, usually cars and traffic are brought to mind. But if living in the area, you can find some excellent recreational parks right along the FDR. All the way from Houston street to the 80's, there are great running tracks, playgrounds, and soccer fields. Up in the 70's there...

Great Area for a Night Out / Young Couple Living

01/09/2008 16:29:55 -07:00

Amsterdam Avenue in this area is very lively and great for older couples. It's full of upscale restaurants, movie theaters, and really close to Lincoln Center which is really a treat. There's much relaxing strolling to be done in the area. You're sure to catch a great view of the sunset on the Hu...

8th Avenue: Good, Bad, and Ugly

01/09/2008 16:26:59 -07:00

The higher up you go on 8th Avenue, the worse it gets. From about 14th Street and into the 20's it's a really great avenue to visit. Between these streets, you're in Chelsea, and you find some really great restaurants and shopping. The prices in this area tend to be reasonable too, so that's a pl...

Indie Vibe on West Houston

01/09/2008 16:21:00 -07:00

The more west you go on Houston, pretty much the cooler it gets. You'll find some of the best film houses in Manhattan along Houston, as well as some of the trendiest shops and eateries. If you keep going further, you'll find your share of some really good (and interesting) clubs. If you can swin...

Park Ave Uptown: a good place to visit, a good place to live

01/09/2008 16:17:03 -07:00

Park Avenue in Uptown Manhattan is really great for strolling. On a pleasant day, you can walk along for hours perusing upscale boutiques and specialty stores. You'll also come across many small cute cafes and charming restaurants. It's a great part of Manhattan too because it's not too far from...

Quiet, Hipster Central

01/09/2008 16:12:12 -07:00

Clinton Street is a great street and area to live in if you're looking to get the best of the Lower East Side. There are so many great bars and restaurants in the area; it's hard to get enough of it all. Some may call it hipster-central, but overall it's loads of fun. The area is lively, but not...

Great for Living / Strolling

01/09/2008 16:07:32 -07:00

I really love East Houston right around the Bowery and Broadway. It's gone through such a transformation within the past few years. There are a lot of new trendy apartments, art galleries, coffee shops, and great restaurants. There's even a new museum, the New Museum which shows some of the most...

A beautiful street, but not much to see....

31/08/2008 20:30:14 -07:00

The name brings up visions of upscale apartments and bejeweled women walking little dogs. Well, that is fairly accurate. This is a beautiful street with lots of flowers in the median strip. For the tourist, however, it really doesn’t offer much. It is nice to walk there, taking in how the other half...

A wonderful street with a lot to offer.....

31/08/2008 19:51:17 -07:00

This is one of my favorite streets in Midtown. Not only are there some wonderful little jewels of hotels on 44th, like the Algonquin and the Iroquois, there is the wonderful old Belasco theater, still one of the premier theater experience hotels in the Theater District. A great thing to do on a Satu...

Fun, but can also be relaxing.....

31/08/2008 19:48:33 -07:00

While the famous fish market is no longer there, at the end of Fulton Street, you will find the South Street Seaport, which is full of shops and restaurants. When you get tire of shopping, you can just relax and watch the many types of ships and tugs doing business on the East River. Before you get...

Something for everyone......

31/08/2008 18:04:39 -07:00

Even if you are not into the fabulous shopping at Lord and Taylor, Tiffany, Saks, Bergdorf’s, there are plenty of things to see. I love spending an entire Saturday just starting way downtown in Greenwich Village and seeing how far I can get. By the time you get to midtown, you start coming across NY...

New construction has ruined the old-time feel......

31/08/2008 18:02:28 -07:00

At the end of the 1700’s, the Bowery was the most elegant street in NY. Before 100 years went by, the Bowery became synonymous with flophouses, homelessness, alcoholics, and people down on their luck. Today, it is being built up with soulless high-rise condos and buildings that make the remaining ar...

Shoppers (or window-shoppers) paradise......

31/08/2008 17:59:58 -07:00

For high-end shopping, there is no place like it. You can find all the designer stores here. Even if you can’t afford them, it is fun to see Hermes, Dolce and Gabbana, Armani, Christian Dior, just to name a few. You have to be buzzed in to some of them. From the 57th Street to the 80’s, we were in s...

You've seen it all before......

31/08/2008 17:57:56 -07:00

Despite the romantic notion that people may have about Delancey Street, don’t waste your time. While it was at one time the heart of the Jewish area of the lower East Side, it is now full of bargain stores and check-cashing places. It has a very diverse population with low-income to yuppie professio...

Multi-cultural, great food, busy .....

31/08/2008 17:54:52 -07:00

Plan to spend the day. You get to go through Chinatown, enjoy lunch at any of the many choices of excellent Chinese places. Canal will take you to Little Italy, where you can have the best thin-crust pizza and a cannoli. Along the way, you shop your head off. There are knock-offs of all the high-end...

Awesome shopping for foodies.......

31/08/2008 17:52:20 -07:00

We stayed in a friend’s apartment in Greenwich Village on a recent stay, and found ourselves shopping on Bleeker a lot. You can find great cheese (try Murray’s), fish and pastry places. At night, there are lots of night spots, including the Bitter End, where folk singers of the 60’s played nightly....

A wonderful and charming street....

31/08/2008 17:50:13 -07:00

I have been coming here since the mid-70’s every time I am in NY. There are a lot of charming little places to eat and shop in the West Village, but the Corner Bistro on the corner of Jane Street brings me back to this area every time. The Bistro burgers are not to be believed. You can play chess an...

Not the safest place but friendly

31/08/2008 12:17:10 -07:00

I lived on Ocean Avenue by Prospect Park in Brooklyn Ny when I was young, and I must say I remember a lot of crime happening there. On the other hand, I also rememebr this great sense of community.

I have lived in a lot of places and was used to moving around a lot, but Ocean Avenue was one of t...

Very historic place to visit

31/08/2008 12:06:06 -07:00

East 42nd street, particularly Grand Central Station, is a must see for all tourist and New Yorkers alike. If you have ever takent he train there you may notice how easy it is to get lost underground. while transferring from one train to the next, you get to see restaurants, shoe shinign places, as...

Very high class living

31/08/2008 11:57:45 -07:00

I used to babysit two girls on East end Avenue a few years ago and I was amazed at the condo they lived in. It was a 3 bedroom, condo where each of the 3 rooms had their own bathroom. though the space was not huge, it was very classy. The master bedroom had the bathroom with the jacuzzi, and the oth...

Very crowded but great bargains

31/08/2008 11:42:43 -07:00

Canal strreet is always the place I went to for electronics. They have everythign you need there at prices you thought were impossible to find. When I needed a scientific then a graphic calculator and was told tit would cost about 200 dollars, my mother took me straight to canal street, where we loo...

Good place to just relax and walk around

31/08/2008 11:35:03 -07:00

East 86th street is a good place to stop and walk around if you are ever bored and don't want to get caught int he commotion of Times Square. Here you can find great fast food that is much healthier than a McDonalds or Burger King. I am talking about places that sell milkshakes and pretzels as well...

Everything you need at great low prices!

31/08/2008 11:09:59 -07:00

Jamaica avenue in Queens, NY is my shopping heaven. They definately do not have the pricey designer bags you can find in the city. In fact, most of the items are just imitations. They are made of the same exact materials but because they do not carry names like Gucci and Coach, they are sold for abo...

Great place to visit

31/08/2008 07:30:41 -07:00

Just until the late 1980's 42nd St. was a street full of prostitution, sex shops, drugs, and old xxx movie theaters. 42nd Street was gradually cleaned and by the 1990's Mayor Gulianni cleaned it up, now It's a tourist attraction. Great place to shop, eat and just sight see. You can find almost an...

On 102nd Street

30/08/2008 17:15:14 -07:00

102nd Street in Queens is similar to many others nearby. I thought that the street was nice, though it may not be the most desirable place to live if you're thinking of moving to a borough. All in all, I'd say that this street is good for the residents and not designed for visitors, but was fairly a...

Bargain Hunter's Heaven

31/08/2008 11:00:08 -07:00

82nd Street in Jackson Heights NY is great because you don't need a car to get around at all. With the rising gas prices, this serves as a relief considering there are at least 3 different buses that run by there. They will take you to the local train station, the airport, or even into the city, for...

East End Ave. and E. 88th Street.

31/08/2008 07:56:24 -07:00

The Mayor's House (Gracie Mansion) is on East End Avenue and East 88th Street. This mansion was built in 1799 by one of the wealthiest men in the City Archibald Gracie. In 1942 Fiorello H.

Home of the world's largest cathedral, St. John the Divine

31/08/2008 07:39:02 -07:00

The world's largest cathedral, St. John the Divine in Manhattan. The Cathedral is open Monday through Saturday from 7:00am-6:00pm and Sunday from 7:00am-8:00pm. If ever you need a peace of mind, this is the place to visit. Great place for meditation. Beautiful grounds and gardens and wonderful pl...

Perfect Place for Young Singles / Room Mates

31/08/2008 07:34:45 -07:00

I've lived on 14th Street in the East Village for the past three years and I really loved it. It's such a hip and down-to-earth area. The apartment that I lived in was perfect, it was small but charming, and the building that I lived in was very safe and quiet. The apartment was pricey, but it wa...

Great Deals & Tourist Trap

31/08/2008 07:29:47 -07:00

During the fall I usually go to Canal Street a lot. I do a lot of fabrication for work, so it's the best place to go in Manhattan to get discounted plastic, rubber, and art materials. It's pretty much one-stop shopping if you're looking to buy those kinds of supplies. If you want DVD deals and kn...

Pretty ok of a street - for uptown : )

30/08/2008 23:35:02 -07:00

At Broadway and 110th, there are a lot of stores that real people need. On the southeast corner there is a Gristedes supermarket that is clean & has a good selection. On the southwest corner there is a drug store. Just two blocks up there is a Citibank, the Heights (a bar/grill), and just north o...

Nice drive down

30/08/2008 23:28:58 -07:00

I use Manhattan Ave as a way to drive from the west side of manhattan to the east side. Manhattan Ave has Morningside curve into it near 110th street. At this point, you can follow 110th down to 96th street and then since Manhattan Ave ends at 96th, make a left and then cut through the park to get...

Overall, a nice place to live, but you have to pay attention to the neighborhood

30/08/2008 23:24:03 -07:00

Riverside is a great shortcut or a great way to avoid Broadway. You can time the lights from 72nd street to about 168th street and can go through 3 or 4 before you have to stop. And these lights are not at every block. From about 120th to 135th there are no lights at all since you are traveling o...

Great way to drive past traffic & get gas

30/08/2008 23:17:58 -07:00

Morningside Ave is also known as Convent Avenue. It is referred to as Morningside after 128th street. Morningside just north of 125th Street is a two lane, narrow avenue. South of 125th Street, Morningside widens out and is easy to drive down. Not many people walk down it and on the west side of...

Wish it were safe - at all times of day - it could be a beautiful street

30/08/2008 23:10:48 -07:00

St. Nicholas Terrace is up on the hill and is just behind City College. It is where everyone parks who goes to school there or lives in the surrounding area. It is right up against the park and during the day, it is quite safe to walk down it. It is also nice to walk down a street in NYC where it...

Good for shopping - annoying to drive down

30/08/2008 22:44:52 -07:00

What can one say about 125th street!! Before I moved up here, I had no idea. There is every kind of store & more banks than you can think of their names. Between Broadway and Lennox, there are Citibank, Commerce, North Fork, Wamu, Chase, Bank of America, and two other banks right at Broadway. At...

Not as much shopping as 125th, but not so bad :)

30/08/2008 22:29:07 -07:00

From Riverside park to Broadway, there's not much there other than apartments. From Broadway to Amsterdam, there are quite a few shops and surprisingly a liquor store that stocks decent wines (this is on the south side of 145th). From Amsterdam to St. Nicholas, there is a raw food restaurant, whic...

West 135th - not the best place to be

30/08/2008 22:14:09 -07:00

West 135th street in between Amsterdam and Convent is a mess. While due to the fact that streets don't follow a grid always this far up in NYC, the distance between these two avenues is about 10 cars long, the road itself is a mess. There is parking on both sides of the street and the road is very...

Like most places in NY - it depends where you are - how the street is!

30/08/2008 22:02:40 -07:00

I live on a street that runs parallel to amsterdam avenue, near the cross street of 133rd. Amsterdam from 125th to 145th, is pretty much dead. Some points of interest - at Amsterdam and 128th street, there is a live poultry market. In the four years I've lived here, a chicken once escaped and ran...

Classy old New York feel, close to nature and culture, quiet and serene.

30/08/2008 21:57:54 -07:00

W. 88th St. is a great place for those looking for a mature neighborhood with lots of amenities. A short walk to both Central and Riverside parks, (specifically the Central Park reservoir, great lawn and turtle pond!), museums, wonderful restaurants, and fantastic shopping on Broadway - both chain...

A hidden street in NYC

30/08/2008 21:50:31 -07:00

First, no one has ever heard of it & cabbies never know how to get there!! But it is a pretty nice street. It runs from about 153rd street and St. Nicholas Ave and once you get to 128th street, it changes names to Morningside. From about 145th Street to 140th, it is in an historic district and th...

On 104th Street

30/08/2008 17:45:29 -07:00

Firstly, the street is right near a 7 train, which I find to be very convenient and a great way to get to Grand Central and into the rest of Manhattan. Secondly, the majority of the businesses located on this street are catered for the people living in the neighborhood. I think that this is a great...

Nearby Park Avenue

30/08/2008 17:20:28 -07:00

This street shares the luxury of the Upper East Side, and some of the highlights, though the real estate may not be as desirable as other streets throughout the city. I think that this is a good street to get started on in the city if you're looking for a change in pace, and this street definitely w...

On Bow Street

30/08/2008 17:04:06 -07:00

This beautiful street was probably a little too expensive for the average Manhattanite, but should be something to aspire to. Some of the homes here were simply beautiful and I really liked the trees and the green: a color that has been replaced by gray in the city that never sleeps. If you would li...

On Slocum Crescent

30/08/2008 17:03:11 -07:00

This very nice mainly residential street is one of the prettiest in the diverse borough of Queens. I was surprised by the beautiful old homes and friendliness of the people on the street.

Deepdene Road is filled with mansions, and living here would be amazing. After a long day in the city, it would be so nice to come home to a nice street and have space, while still having access to the wonderful New York City. This street is the epitome of the phrase “the best of both worlds.”
If y...

30/08/2008 17:00:56 -07:00

This beautiful street is a residential street in Forrest Hills, Queens. And filled with beautiful and large homes, well manicured yards, and friendly people should be considered on a move to Queens, though you should also know that the homes here are expensive! If you would like to get to Winter Str...

On Alderton Street

30/08/2008 16:59:20 -07:00

This street is filled with realty offices, and given the amount of prime real estate in the area, I think that this would be a great place to settle. You have to have a little in your pocket though, as these homes ain’t sellin’ cheap! If you would like to get to Alderton Street, you can use the 71st...

On 69th Avenue

30/08/2008 16:57:50 -07:00

With small businesses, restaraunts, schools, and homes, 69th Avenue is a bit more active than other streets. This is a car dominated area, so if you’re looking to move here, you should consider having one of your home. The homes here are pricey, but worth it. I really liked the feel, the beauty, the...

A Ode to the Midwest

30/08/2008 11:11:26 -07:00

Walking though this neighborhood, I completely forgot that I was in New York City. Like something out of a midwestern dream, this cross street, lined with trees and people walking their dogs, was a wonderful place to start a life in the city. It’s expensive, so you must be well-established and inter...

On Greenway Terrace

30/08/2008 11:08:41 -07:00

Greenway Terrace is absolutely beautiful and filled with some very beautiful and very expensive homes.

On Olcott Street, you won’t find much in the way of food or fun, but you will find a lot in the way of homes. This mainly residential street was beautiful and filled with trees. A good place for familes and more established people, this street was very much worth visiting... and envying! I wish I ha...

On Nansen Street

30/08/2008 10:55:21 -07:00

Nansen Street is mainly residential and is a nice place to live. The homes are expensive, so I think that it would be a good place for families with children, couples, or older people.

On Manse Street

30/08/2008 10:54:27 -07:00

On Kessel Street

30/08/2008 10:52:10 -07:00

Another residential street in a nice neighborhood in this section of Queens, Kessel Street should be considered if you’re considering moving to a borough.

Juno Street is one of the nicest in Queens, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Among other thinsg, this street was very clean.

On Harrow Street

30/08/2008 10:49:01 -07:00

Similar to its neighbors, this street is very much residential, quite nice, and safe. I think that this is one of the prettiest neighborhoods in the Queens borough, and probably one of the more expensive sections. If you’re looking to move here, I would suggest looking out for openings on this stree...

A Truly Beautiful Street

30/08/2008 10:48:03 -07:00

This mainly residential street is beautiful, with some beautiful, and seemingly expensive homes. It’s an amazing shift from Manhattan, where people share the park, to this section of Queens where people have yards. I think that this would be a wonderful place to live for older more established peopl...

An Impressive Street in Queens

30/08/2008 10:45:47 -07:00

When I arrived on Fleet Street, I was really impressed. This beautiful and mainly residential street has some extrememly nice and well maintained homes and really was a beautiful oasis from other parts of the borough which were less attractive. This neighborhood would be a wonderful place to live fo...

One of the Prettiest Streets In Queens

A Convenient Truth

30/08/2008 10:43:18 -07:00

Dartmouth Street is filled with several small and service oriented businesses, ranging from realty offices to other specialized services. The look and feel of the street is nice, and it is very lived on, which might have contributed to the noise and amount of people. I liked the atmosphere and the p...

A Dual Street

30/08/2008 10:41:10 -07:00

Clyde Street was a dual street: for some, it was a place with a few small businesses, while others call this Queens street home. Though it wasn’t as dynamic as the nearby streets, it was noisy, and a bit dirty. Regardless, this street did share convenience of its neighboring streets, with convenient...

A Nice Street In Queens

30/08/2008 10:39:50 -07:00

Burns Street, located in interesting and dynamic Queens, is filled with a wonderful atmosphere. With several small businesses providing various goods and services to its resident, this street it filled with life. A downside could be the amount of people; as traffic was heavy. It was a little dirty,...

You thought you were well dressed...

29/08/2008 21:49:43 -07:00

...until you saw the people on Madison Avenue. Actually, it's quite a humorous blend of couture, high/low contemporary, just plain low contemporary, and just plain clueless dressing. Skip the obvious places and go for Takashimaya (if you have the cash). Well, even if you don't have the cash, put on...

Eat and grocery shop...

29/08/2008 21:43:52 -07:00

...so you can go home and eat some more. Seriously, if Chinatown had a "restaurant district," I would say Mott St. is it. Check out Harmony Palace (Mott and Canal) for a good place to bring out of town friends. Since its been renovated, it's seriously kind of swank/tacky. It'll impress people who ar...

Very impressive indeed

29/08/2008 21:39:36 -07:00

There's something about Fifth Avenue. It's certainly stately, old, and historic, but it's also incontrovertibly part of the constant evolution that is New York. Start way uptown (I'm talking in the 100's) and hit the Museum of the City of New York and El Museo de Barrio. Beautiful places in authenti...

14th Street rocks.

29/08/2008 21:34:55 -07:00

If I were living in Manhattan (I live in distant Brooklyn), I would want to live as close as possible to 14th Street. You've got Union Square, which is arguably the New York park with the most New York character. Farmer's market on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays = fresh, local food. The great re...

Prime space for real New York living

29/08/2008 21:29:02 -07:00

Madison Square Park, anyone? Great place to chill, especially if you live nearby. A bit smaller than the further downtown Union Square, but nice to admire the view of the Flatiron. Seriously, you just have to give props to the architectural significance. Also, not to bring up shopping in everything...

Sweet shopping to be had

29/08/2008 21:25:05 -07:00

Three places: H&M, Bloomingdales, and Urban Outfitters, within very close proximity to the train station. Sure, they're big retailers you could find elsewhere but I have to say that I think the stores on 59th Street are a bit bigger than the others, and therefore get more and better variety of merch...

Props for being friendly to visitors while remaining authentic

29/08/2008 21:20:09 -07:00

Perhaps the ONLY street in New York that I think is great for visitors and locals. Tourists love to gawk at the crappy merchandise on stands and go home with stories about going to the backs of stalls on Canal Street. But seriously, this street offers great, delicious, authentic Chinese food. I'm su...

Ugh, another tourist trap.

29/08/2008 21:15:46 -07:00

NOTICE: locals do not shop at Herald Square! They just don't. The place is full of tourists and really sketchy characters that have no shame when it comes to hitting on you. The Macy's here is unorganized and pretty decrepit on the upper floors. There is a decent Borders towards 6th Ave., but that's...

Better towards 5th Avenue, obviously

29/08/2008 21:11:37 -07:00

The apartments between Madison and 5th are seriously beautiful. Lots of stoops that teenage girls from Hunter love to smoke on. They're not that annoying as long as you tell them to pick up their butts. Hunter College High School is between Madison and Park, and seems to always be under construction...

Full of tourists, like an outdoor mall

29/08/2008 21:05:34 -07:00

The main Broadway is usually full of tourists. Not just in the theater district, but extending all the way to the Soho area. However, the shopping does get pretty sweet when you hit downtown. The secret? Wander a little off the main Broadway into the great boutiques on Greene, Prince, Howard, and Ca...

625 Union St. Brooklyn

29/08/2008 21:01:26 -07:00

I hadn't been back to N.Y, in 16 years. This street was just fine for me. Not that busy with foot traffic. Forget about parking a car though. You leave and you'll loose your spot, really hard to find another. It's a good walk to the main shopping streets. But they offer everything. There was a...

The World' Fair & location

29/08/2008 20:36:42 -07:00

I am including this street because of location! It is the subway exit for the "old" Shea Stadium, USTA Arthur Ashe Tennis Stadium, and Flushing Meadow Park, home of the 1961 & 64 World's Fair. The street is nice and wide with available parking. Pretty clean and well kept. Mostly residential. And...

Whitestone Expressway and 3rd Ave. WATERFRONT RESIDENTAL!

29/08/2008 19:56:32 -07:00

This is a great Queens Street! There is city acess via Whitestone Expressway. It lines Francis Lewis Park. The homes are much larger. And a little off to Powells Cove, much more impressive, Some homes have their own boat docks. The area is a higher income bracket. The view is also of a hop, skip...

Poppenhusen and 5th Ave. WATERFRONT!

29/08/2008 19:25:51 -07:00

I had to add a post for 5th Ave. here because it would only search, 5th Ave. Manhattan.
This is still one of the nicest streets in College Point. 5th Ave. becomes Poppenhusen Ave. going west. 5th Ave. hugs McNeil Park. Only one side in that area then is residential. There are multi-family res...

Busy, Varied and Educational

29/08/2008 18:19:17 -07:00

A very busy and at parts a very loud street. Where Kissena Blvd. and Main Street meet is a very congested area. There is an extremely commercial area that includes many shops and places to eat. It is also a city bus route. A Library is also on the street. There are two main properties on the Bl...

Bus Route and Residental Street

29/08/2008 17:27:29 -07:00

This street runs through College Point exiting in Flushing. The other direction will take you to McNeil Park at the end of College Point. This is the bus route for the 25/34 bus. Along the street are homes. Single family and muti-residents. It also has a great German-American Resturant, 5 Corne...

124th Street Residental

29/08/2008 17:05:03 -07:00

124th St. and cross St. 22nd Ave. The paking is terrible. It isn't a very wide street. But, in both directions you are able to walk to a public bus stop. The route runs through College Point into Flushing. One block away is St. John's Lutheran School and Church. I had attended both. One of the...

Historic Poppenheusen Avenue

Poppenhusen Avenue is a street that runs through College Point to McNeil Park. The street is named after Conrad Poppenhusen, the founding father and benefactor of College Point. The highlight of Poppenhusen Ave. is McNeil Park. The park has a playground, plenty of green grass and tress for picnic...

It's gotta be the shoes...

29/08/2008 16:01:05 -07:00

Well, it used to be, anyways, back when W 8th Street in the Village was just shoe store after shoe store. Many of those places are gone now, giving rise in their stead to cheap neighborhood restaurants (many of which have cycled through tenants) and lunchtime eat in/take out spots. Not really a cozy...

Uptown comes downtown, see it before the takeover's complete

29/08/2008 15:49:33 -07:00

Bond St is one of those quirky little streets that's different enough from the blocks around it to know instantly where you are. It doesn't look like much on a map, running east from Broadway to Bowery, a couple of blocks above Houston. However, it's still cobblestoned and cavernous loft-filled buil...

The hub of College Point

29/08/2008 15:48:50 -07:00

College Point Blvd. is the Main Street of College Point. This is where most stores including grocery, banks, laundrymats, resturants and the Public Library are located. From the start of the Blvd. at The Whitestone Expressway to the end, McNeil Park there is a change from commercial to business pr...

Hey it's not the 80s anymore: aren't you glad

29/08/2008 15:28:32 -07:00

Sure, St. Marks Place is no longer the real hangout of punk abandon, the kids with the funny hair are most likely uptown refugees, and hipsters and models outnumber the junkies in Tompkins Square park, but I still have a place in my heart for these few seedy blocks between Astor Place and Tompkins S...

A few food gems on a tree-lined street

29/08/2008 13:47:47 -07:00

These few blocks on a north-south street running between Houston and Washington Square Park are a peaceful, relatively quiet respite, especially compared to the usual frat boy bedlam that reigns a couple of blocks west, in the bars of the Village. This is in particular true now that the infamous Sen...

START SPREADING THE NEWS

Definitely one of the best streets on earth...Plenty of theaters, live and cinematic, to make your wallet lighter if you know what I mean. Consider this to be an ideal location to bring your visiting relative or to spend your last $1000 on before you move out of the country. Slightly overpriced sl...

too plain for me

29/08/2008 13:09:03 -07:00

Needs a little more spice. Despite the old school NYC building and the occasional hot dog vendor, this street doesnt do it for me. Not dirty enough to be a true new york street and not clean enough to sit on I feel this street lacks anything special in comparison to its NYC neighbors...Not worth v...

Why is it church street

29/08/2008 13:00:00 -07:00

Definitely a street looking into considering there isnt a single church I've come across on it. Usually just as busy as the average Manhattan street, you may spend up to 5 minutes trying to Jay Walk across or about the same time waiting for the grid lock to make a pathway. New York has many streets...

Two blocks worth visiting in the East Village

29/08/2008 12:58:24 -07:00

Don't bypass Great Jones St on your visit to the East Village; it is only two blocks long, bordered by Broadway to the west and Bowery to the east. It is relatively easy to find, as it is continuous with both W 3rd St and E 3rd St, forming a bridge between the two. Though short, there are a few gems...

THIS IS AS NEW YORK AS IT GETS

29/08/2008 12:49:18 -07:00

This street is NEW YORK...Corners covered in vendors, from hot roasted almonds to soggy hot dogs. This street is definitely worth travelling down considering you can be panhandled, offered a photograph for just $25 and find 10 comedy club all in one breath. This street sums up Manhattan and the N...

Gotti was here haha

29/08/2008 12:43:14 -07:00

This street runs as one of the many bigger capillaries of Queens...Going through Ozone Park, City Line and Richmond Hill. Formerly the home to Mob Boss Johsn Gotti's infamous red door fronted location, it was home to his firework spectacle every 4th of July. Now less of a traffic area it houses m...

Up and down!

29/08/2008 12:39:26 -07:00

This street runs as one of the main veins of Queens...Going both up and down hill as does the economic background of the neighborhoods it runs through. This street is definitely worth travelling down to see what attractions it has to offer since its diversity is one of a kind. Definitely a street...

Cobblestone oasis hidden away in the Village

Blink as you travel by on 5th Avenue or University Place and you will miss the gates that guard either end of this tiny block long beauty that is sandwiched between 8th st and Washington Square North. Actually a private street, the gates are unlocked during the day and the curious can wander the sti...

Short and sweet in the midst of NYU

Washington Place is a tiny street of 5 blocks bisected by Washington Square Park.

Nice, Quiet, Relaxed

28/08/2008 09:58:12 -07:00

This street is worth visiting for Edgar’s Café on the intersection with Broadway. This restaurant has a sinister Edgar Allan Poe theme, and its dimly lit interior makes it a cozy place to linger over some red wine and one of their fantastic salads. For the most part, the 80's blocks of the Upper Wes...

The Functional Area

28/08/2008 09:46:31 -07:00

You might recognize the name of this street from the pharmacies ubiquitous in New York City that utilize the moniker. True to its name, there is a Duane Reade on this street, on various blocks. This street is mostly functional, there are a few hardware and paint stores and the block around Broadway...
