If I were to move to NYC, I'd probably stay at my parents house on the UES (60s holla!) or right in Wall Street/Battery Park area. Easy commute 
Crazy times in NYC two weeks ago. Double down on ducatis, FDR drive at midnight..Kush lounge in SoHo, Kebabs at Haandi on Lex...same drill, new crew. |
UES...in my wildest dreams! I went to school in that area though....lovely place.
Staten Island--not even looking there. not interested in taking a boat to school/work, express bus is too expensive and we dont have a car.
The apt search was put off on hold for a bit, and we've started back up now.
I came into contact with one broker about a couple of apartments. thing is he wants to meet us at his office and NOT at the building. everyone else I met with was willing to come to the apartment site. He gave me the street name but not the address....i tried to reschedule for during the week but since I work now and have a very long commute, i asked if he's willing to just meet at the building, since it will be easier for me and save me time, but he won't agree to it. i told him we don't drive he said its okay he will drive us to the place.
Is this normal????
