call it an extended visit

Central Park W, New York, New York, United States
By ChrisTurk on May 15, 2008
  • 3.5/5
I didn't have to take care of anything but I stayed in an apartment overlooking the park for a month. Basically rented a friend's place for the month. Cost me all of $600 because that's what she was subletting the place for. Hooray for rent-control wonkines...

yes, better than Carnegie deli

E Houston Street, New York, New York, United States
By ChrisTurk on May 15, 2008
  • 5/5
Go here for no other reason than Katz's Deli. Really. In spite of everything else in the area it's my favorite. Be sure to ask one of the owners about the rumors that they're about to sell out to a developer or move the store or retire to Tahiti. Savor the ...

On the edge of Chinatown

Division Street, New York, New York, United States
By biscuit on May 13, 2008
  • 3/5
This street seems to be having a bit of an identity crisis – on the south side, its full of brightly coloured Chinese shops and restaurants, while on the north it has nondescript brown brick buildings, the only thing sticking out being the parking signs. It go...

Strong Chinese presence.

Pell Street, New York, New York, United States
By biscuit on May 13, 2008
  • 4/5
In the middle of a Chinese district of New York, Pell Street is typical of any Chinese shopping street in a Western city, with colourful, incomprehensible signs fighting for space up the sides of buildings, and all the shops painted a different bright colour....

Full of life

Ludlow Street, New York, New York, United States
By biscuit on May 13, 2008
  • 4/5
Whilst I wouldn’t want to live here, Ludlow St in New York is a great place to go out. Full of bars and clubs, and the rest of the street plastered in gig posters, this is a place that bustles with life and I imagine there’s always some good live music to be f...

Good vibes, and culture.

Essex Street, New York, New York, United States
By biscuit on May 13, 2008
  • 4/5
Walked down this street briefly and I found it to be a bustling place full of culture. There’s a strong Jewish presence here, and also a Chinese one at the other end. Down the south end it’s on the edge of Sweard Park, and the buildings on the street are gener...

Nice place, like a tropical island in an ocean, almost

Norfolk Street, New York, New York, United States
By biscuit on May 13, 2008
  • 3/5
Norfolk St would strike me as a much better place to live on than its counterpart in British county names Suffolk St next door, instead of being a dull and boarded up place this street has trees down it which always make a place seem nicer, and in general it h...

Wouldn't wanna live here.

Suffolk Street, New York, New York, United States
By biscuit on May 13, 2008
  • 1/5
A slightly nicer street than other nearby ones, Suffolk Street still consists of the same dull brown buildings, most of which seem like they’re not being used. A fairly rough part of the city, sadly every city has to have these types of areas. It didn’t strike...

Lives up to its name, in some ways.

Grand Street, New York, New York, United States
By biscuit on May 13, 2008
  • 4/5
Well I was certainly impressed, driving along here when I visited New York. It’s completely different to anything I’ve seen in England, a wide, straight road right through the middle of New York with lots of high rise buildings around. Tons of character as wel...

Not a nice place.

Attorney Street, New York, New York, United States
By biscuit on May 13, 2008
  • 1/5
Had the misfortune to have to go down here on my recent walking tour of New York, it’s filled with 60s style dull brown brick buildings, bad on their own, but they are completely covered in graffiti, ranging from monkeys saying ‘stay in school’ to the more pr...
