For those of you interested in Google Street Viewing us - we live at 82 West 105th Street. That is on the cusp of the Upper West Side meets Morningside which is the name for lower lower Harlem. There are 2 Chinese restaurants in our block, 3 99c stores, 2 pharmacies and numerous Delis. There is a liquor store (!) and a laundromat. Totally convenient. We are a couple of blocks from Central Park and a couple from Broadway. Columbia University is not so far away and there are 2 convenient subway stations. Broadway has a plethora of restaurants, supermarkets, and fast food places. There is a Dunkin Donuts a block away which comforts me immensely.
Our apartment building seems quiet with a few yapping dogs behind closed doors. We met one of our neighbours last night, she called to us in the hallway and introduced herself. Our apartment itself, if you haven't seen the pics, is a one bedroom deal and is freshly painted white with a jacuzzi bath! The bathroom is surprisingly large for the city and our kitchen is new enough to not give me the skeevies. We have a fire escape and a fridge that opens right to left (weird!). Our most recent acquisition in a 32inch LG TV which was a bargain at $300. I'm not sure what we'll do with it when we leave, I'm sure it's too big for the plane. Timon also bought a pretty green guitar from the Lower East Side and built a music stand out of cardboard boxes. All in all, I'd say we're pretty much at home.
