Dave, I wouldn’t be doing the scene or the restaurants. I’d just want to have a place near where I grew up and get to enjoy the beach and the quiet. I miss those beaches so much sometimes.
I took that helicopter from the Pan Am bldg once – it was fantastic (& someone else was picking up the tab.) You didn’t feel any movement – it was as if you were seeing a film of the City move on a screen mounted under you.
GuyIncognito – I am sure you can find something pretty decent on craigslist as no-fee apartment. I know some of my friends called different brokers and specified that they are not willing to pay a fee and only will look at no-fee apartments and brokers showed them a few that the landlords were paying the broker fees but I don’t think they ended up getting any of those at the end.
Also look at it this way, If you’re looking at a 2,200 apartment that a broker is showing you and he can negotiate it down to say 1,900-2,000 and you love the place, he just covered his own fee. Don’t understimate brokers because, some of the time, they are able to get you more for your money hence making their fees worth it.

Thanks Chicken and Etson. I feel edified…
“Manhattan: The Hamptons

Staten Island: Jersey Shore?
Just as I suspected, you grow up on the Island you know Yiddish.
My neighborhood was for the most part Irish & Italian Catholic or Jewish.
My mom’s a Brit and my dad is Armenian. So I’m a mutt in every sense.
