NYC Update - My Apartment
0 commentsI live in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Because a lot of people from Georgia ask me, I'll go ahead and tell you that my neighborhood is safe and friendly.
I found my room on craigslist. I share the apartment with two roommates - Nestor from Argentina, and Daniel from Seattle. We get along swimmingly and stay out of each others way.
By New York standards, our apartment is large. We have a full kitchen, a washer and dryer, a backyard patio, three bedrooms (my bedroom has two windows), and two bathrooms. I can comfortably host eight or ten friends for tea and conversation in the downstairs kitchen and lounge.
Most important to me, my doorstep is incredibly close to the Manhattan-bound subway. The L line of the subway bisects all of the major trains. I like being able to quickly connect to multiple subway lines. On a good day, I can get from my bedroom to Wall Street, Chinatown, Times Square, or Bryant Park in thirty five minutes.
I absolutely love not having to drive a car anymore. But sometimes having a car would be helpful - like for Costco runs or weekend trips out of the city. Instead, I ride my bike every day... (to be continued!)
