For those of you looking for salads made for you nearby, try Court Order a few blocks down or Monty Q's on Livingston (a bit expensive).
It looks like a new healthy option is opening up just across Atlantic, which should also help.

I believe that there is no mortgage recording tax on co-ops.

No MTG tax on Coops and no title insurance either. Closing costs on Coops are ridiculously low. If I had a coop I would refi right now but alas I'm in a Condo and I'm already at a good rate in the mid 5's.

Keep your eyes peeled for jumbo rates starting Jan 1st.
