Mott St
"Chinatown, My Chinatown"
One of the great streets in New York is Mott St from Worth to Canal. This is the life line of chinatown in ny. The street is vibrant with all types of restaurants and stores. My fav is Wo-Hop upstairs at 15 Mott St. The prices are reasonable and they are open late till about 3 am. Try the bakery up the block with the pink exterior.
East 61 St
"Beautiful building but scary at night"
Solow's Sutton Place North building is nice, in fact it is very nice. However the walk to First Ave is dimly lit and the bridge overpass is downright scary. Too desolate unless you have a driver and if you can afford the rents there you probaly can.
East 23 St
"Great Window Shopping and People Watching"
On, the avenue, Fifth Avenue. Goes the famous verse to the song EASTER PARADE. Fifth Avenue has always been known as one of the best streets in the world for shopping but it has become over run by not so chic big box stores. For fine shopping nothing beats a stroll up Madison Ave in the 60's and 70's. Try wondering over to the Carlyle for some cabaret and world-class Dover sole.

"The Pierre Hotel Closes"
Many people know that the most expensive apartment in the city is the top three floors of the Pierre Hotel. What many outsiders do not know is that the hotel will be closing (except for the private residenses) at the end of 2007. Much of the spendor of one of New York's most important hotels will be lost. By the way how about paying almost $40,000 a month in maintainence and not having a restaurant or bar to go to in your building. Only in New York kids, only in new york.

"Blackouts and a low class feeling"
The Rupert and Yorkville Towers give this area a king of housing projecty (is that a word) a little bit further to the East. A large NYSC with a pool is a plus and great star dining at Elaines is also. Be prepared to encounter residents of the marginal areas north of 96th St on the East Side. It also seems like this area loses power frequently when there are sectional blackouts due to power consumption.
1 Ave
"Noise, traffic, and Helicopters; oh my"
E 34 st is a major residential block in the city too bad it is way too busy with Midtown Tunnel traffic from 3rd Ave to the FDR. NYU medical is at the FDR making noise all hours of the night, awful traffic from the tunnel at all hours makes it hard to cross the street. Also not everyone knows that there is a heliport at the river, which can add to the noise. If you are looking at the Rivergate building it does offer alot of space for the price but a what cost given all the noise.
East 39 St
"Perfect for young professionals"
E 39 st features a number of buildings that cater towards young professionals. So if you like being in Murray Hill and on a street where people are coming home at all hours of the night this is the place for you. Downfall crossing the tunnel traffic is a little rough
