Chase young women, drink nice beer, eat good food, get to the city easy

 

[john goodman]

Manhattan.

I can't in good conscious spend that much. I'd rather live in the hood around hipsters

brooklyn. you can stretch a buck further plus the vibe is better. more amenities and less of a shyt hole than harlem.

Brooklyn= Fort Greene, Park Slope(pricey),Bushwick, Greenpoint(border of queens and bk), Williamsburg...these areas might have to roommate it depending on ya cash flow. I'm just against living in manhattan bro...too many people and traffic.

My friend just moved to east Harlem and honestly it doesn't sound that cool. Besides being close to the park

Both will leave your wallet drained, unless you're making 70k of make 40k and wouldn't mind a roommate, then both are not options. It probably best to move to South Bronx(less than 15 minutes from Harlem), cheap and the neighborhood is gentrifying as we speak.

I'm biased, but I would go with Bushwick. It's close to the city on the L train, and hasn't been fully taken over by the hipsters like Williamsburg (although it's getting there, from what I saw the last time I was up there). Plus during the summers, walking down Knickerbocker Ave. will have you while looking at all the Puerto Rican shorties. For that matter, Ridgewood area of Queens ain't bad either. Basically the same neighborhood, separated by Cypress Ave. One side is Brooklyn (Bushwick), other side is Queens (Ridgewood).

How uptown?

SoBro Pun rollin' over in his grave right now. Harlem's glory days are well behind it B. Honestly, if it ain't Manhattan, you should stay in Brooklyn. Park Slope, Clinton Hill, the 'Burg, or down south by Bay Ridge/the Beach if you wanna be a little more chill.
