East 42nd street, particularly Grand Central Station, is a must see for all tourist and New Yorkers alike. If you have ever takent he train there you may notice how easy it is to get lost underground. while transferring from one train to the next, you get to see restaurants, shoe shinign places, as well as barber shops. You get to see it, that is, if you can avoid being pushed by the busy New Yorkers who literally run from one train to the next. We are always taught that time is of the essence and not to waste it looking around, but you just can't help it when you are at grand central. From here you can catch trains and busses to queens as well as to New Jersey via the PATH trains and even Delaware via Amtrack. Do not get overwhelmed if you do end up there.

The trick with 42nd street is to be sharp and on your toes. It is always crowded there and many of the people there are too busy to stop and appreciate the scenery, and get very upset if you stand in their way. However, there really is a lot to see there and as long as you are aware of your surroundings, you will be fine.

I used to babysit two girls on East end Avenue a few years ago and I was amazed at the condo they lived in. It was a 3 bedroom, condo where each of the 3 rooms had their own bathroom. though the space was not huge, it was very classy. The master bedroom had the bathroom with the jacuzzi, and the other room had its own bathroom inside the room.

Even as you went outside you were amazed at the view of central park, which was right across the street, since this was the street that separated the east and the west side. The residents here are very friendly, which has been a surprise to me, growing up in a New York where most people just stick to themselves and do not say hi to you unless they know you.

East end avenue became my dream place to love in if I had stayed in the city. It is walking distance from the major train stations yet far enough back where you had a view of the vast green that makes up central park.

On Nesconset Highway, also known as route 347, you can find a lot of night clubs. They may not be as classy as the ones in Manhattan, but definatley worth it for hte college students budget. Many fraternities and sororities thrwo parties at these clubs and rent out the whole place fo the night, so you are always surrounded with familiar people. There are many bars there as well, and for the most part it's also college students that are there, so especially for the ladies, you don't hav eto feel scared that an old creep will start hitting on you.

This street is also great to drive around during the day too. they have SmithHaven Mall where you can find discount clothing and shoes, as well as Wal Mart where you can get your dorm room essentials. No matter where on Nesconset highway you drive, you will find what you are looking for, day and night.

East 86th street is a good place to stop and walk around if you are ever bored and don't want to get caught int he commotion of Times Square. Here you can find great fast food that is much healthier than a McDonalds or Burger King. I am talking about places that sell milkshakes and pretzels as well as donuts.

You can walk around this street and find CD and book stores galore. Many people walk into these stores and relax inside while browsing through the thousands of titles. though it is in the city, it's acutally a good place to relax or kill some time. You also don't need to have a car here, with the abundance of taxis as well as nearby train stations and busses.

Now rent is very expensive here, but that can be expected. After all, we are talking about New York City, but everything is very close by and the supermarket there even delivers your groceries to you. You can do all your food shopping online and have it at your door in a few hours. They accomodate the busy new Yorker very well here.
