    it's not gentrified yet! They call it 'up and coming' in the real estate ads. I think artists are buying lofts over there now though?

    not all of brooklyn is bad
    downtown brooklyn is real nice but the hotels there will probably be as expensive as Manhattan

    I used drive many times 4/5 years ago when I was about 19-21. And everytime, I always get parking tickets, I swear! My friend said it was probably the Mass plates :p ...So I started taking the train in, which is an hour away from my town and is about 2 and half hours away from Grand Central.

    Actually, one night I lost the location of my car. And my friend and I were looking for it from 9pm to 3am around the areas of Central Park! :eek:

    Luckily, two nice off-duty cops helped us find my car.

    well I wanted to continue my trip. I had a destination but things happened and are happening that led me back to NY. I hit the road on a bike for about a week, met up with some friends in Savannah by the name of Leathermandi and Cholorblind Chameleon, stayed there for a couple of days and jumped a greyhound to NY for the Holidays to be with the fam

    Well, you cared about your family. :) It's really hard for a family person to do what Chris McCandless did...but that's for another thread.
