Best Place to live in NYC?

“Were” no object.

Uptown and downtown completely different vibe

Depends on your age

I don't like the plaza.

Patti Lupone's Manhattan apartment. The one across the hall from Audra MacDonald's.

I like NoHo or Nolita

Upper West Side

West Village. Adored my time there.

Gramercy Park

West 70s near Broadway

NoHo or Nolita

West Village.

West village or Gramercy, definitely.

Upper East side

MLK Jr Blvd.

Either the West Village or in The Ansonia.

R1 Thank you.

Sutton Place

Nowhere once Mamdani becomes Mayor.

I used to work on Columbus Ave. near the museum. That seemed like a nice neighborhood (20 years ago).

I like New York in June. How about you?

No big white box shit.

Isn’t the West Village essentially just the NYU campus at this point?

Hudson Yards.

East End Ave if you want a quiet neighborhood near the hospitals.

Depends greatly on what you want out of life.

If I win the powerball on Wednesday, I'll buy a place in Hell's Kitchen and try to have as much meaningless sex as possible.

Murray Hill

Central Park West.

Townhouse - Sutton Place

East Village

Turtle Bay. I love NYC, but I also like a quiet and leafy neighborhood to rest my head.

R21, no. Not at all.

On Gramercy Park, the West Village, the Dakota

The West Village has really jumped the shark. The NY Mag cover story “It Must Be Nice To Be a West Village Girl” was woefully accurate with how overrun the neighborhood is with white girls in half shirts who have made it impossible to just grab a drink midday on a Saturday. The streets are still beautiful, but the vibe is godawful.

East Village near that park on 10th

#3 Beekman Place

Staten Island, of course.

West Village: Hudson Street, Greenwich Street, Washington Street, Bank Street

Brooklyn Heights

Upper West Side: The Ansonia, The Belnord, The Apthorp, “Hotel des Artistes” on West 67th Street. The Beresford

Gramercy Park

Upper East Side: 5th Ave to Park Ave between 65th Street and 95th Street

This thread is BOOOOOORING.

The village has been ruined by NYU. They expanded over the years and built ugly big buildings but kept those soviet looking housing for the students...

Too many students walking around there....and Washington Sq Park is soooo trashy now with all the drugs being sold openly....

I liked flatiron area but union sq has too many protests...if there is some shit going on...they will definitely be gathering there and protesting....I'll go shopping there but that's it.

NYU has not “taken over” the West Village. It’s mostly east and south of Washington Square. The West Village is west of there. NYU dominates the central part of Greenwich Village, as it has for decades. But that’s not West Village.

OP—Stop dreaming. The Power Ball fortune is mine!

Hell's Kitchen.

Been here 28 years and will have to be carried out feet first.

Try Weehawken. Carrie Bradshaw's money would have gone further there.

FUCK NJ.

Hey!

Little West 12th St

I lived for many years on West 12th Street and let me tell you all Little West 12th St has is a cute name for a few blocks.

West Village - despite R32 being correct that it’s suddenly overrun with 27 year old girls waiting in line for aperol spritzes. But on weekdays, it’s idyllic. Lost so many of its classic basic places - but it’s still functional despite the onslaught of billionaires and trendy restaurants catering to spendy Gen Z-ers Brooklyn Heights is pretty but a little isolated and not a lot going on. I like parts of the Upper East Side - appreciate the gorgeous architecture of silk stocking district of not the people.

I love the UWS, but the subway- the 1, 2, and 3 - absolutely sucks compared to the East Side.

You NYC/Hell’s Kitchen queens really believe the world revolves around you.

r49 I liked the UWS more when I lived near the Lincoln Center local stop than 72nd Street, where I was always afraid there'd be too many people on the platform.

Hells Kitchen is overrun with whores.

Do you have their phone numbers?

Plaza has low ceilings.

I bet the new Waldorf Astoria apartments are nice, but who wants to live in midtown?

Depends what floor. Many floors of the Waldorf have low ceilings. Hotels in NYC were built that way. If you want hotel living and head space, consider Paris, Vienna or Madrid. Ritz Place Vendome - 15 ft ceilings.

Either UWS or Tribeca.

Now someone needs to do one of these for Los Angeles.

How about a boring but solid large brownstone on a leafy block in Park Slope. Prospect Park is lovely.

[quote] Patti Lupone's Manhattan apartment. The one across the hall from Audra MacDonald's.

The one from which she sneers at single people walking in the park?

Yes. Park Slope is nice. But it can be a schlep.

When I lived in Brooklyn, it felt like I lived in a suburb. Dense - but very much felt like a hassle getting to Midtown for work and never went to Manhattan on weekends. And the gay bars were hard to get to without Uber. Good restaurants and subway access is easier than a scheduled suburban train - but felt isolating.

I had the millions for a prime block Park Slope brownstone, and its taxes and maintenance, I could afford a car and driver.

No Tribeca enthusiasts? This building sounds like it's highly coveted. Some people call it a "celebrity dorm."

R63 - Tribeca has never really been a residential neighborhood. I prefer neighborhoods than living in old commercial warehouse districts.

They had their moment in the 80s and 90s, but it seems like a fad and a bit passe to me. All of these non-artists living in large spaces where artists could actually work and live.

OP - did you just pull 3 places out of the blue? The huge skinny empty cold Central Park Tower? Plaza Residences?

For straight people who want to impress and be around other boring pretentious straight rich people, I guess. But most gays scream NON!

TriBeCa is a bland version of Soho - without the mall or that many useful stores. The loft life is passé.

Erik Van Conover is cute.

Fuck Brooklyn

Central Park is amazing and the air quality is much better if you live closer to it.

Speaking of Central Park, Stacey Bendet's Dakota combination is awesome.

Roosevelt Island

Dakota, San Remo, Beresford

Townhouse Gramercy Park.

Gramercy is very small area, not that great

Tribeca is full of finance bros and their Bethany Frankel wives.
