I agree, *rob*. I would’t pay $5 to rent anything in the Bronx. I see what some of my neighbors in Crown Heights pay and I laugh hysterically. While I think the location and amenities are great, lets be real about it. These clowns are paying a good chunk of change to live on the edge of “hell”. What I mean by “hell” are drug dealers loitering in front of bodegas, people playing loud music out of their cars, impromptu bbqs in the middle of the sidewalk, dog shit all up and down the sidewalk, people with no concept of what a trash can is, and people hanging out and being loud all hours of the night.
I will admit that this behavior is primarily on the main streets and some of the unfortunate side streets filled with large apartment buildings, so you can usually avoid seeing it.
Breadcrumbs preferably fresh, ditto cheese (I prefer pecorino romano.)
I use only a touch of beaten egg to bind the ingredients.
I add a handful of fresh chopped basil to the mixture, which adds wonderful flavor.
Finally, the trick is to roll the balls loosely, and keep the mixture close to room temperature before frying. Cold, tightly rolled balls make for grainy, rubbery texture in the finished product.
I repeat: No cold, tightly rolled balls.
My meatballs are legendary with my Hong Kong friends. Of course, most of them put ketchup on their pasta and call it “Spaghetti.”
What’s wrong with buying in a place that we feel is under-valued, and expect that the market will catch up? A house is the biggest investment most people will make, nothing wrong with maximizing economic return.

How long until winter?
Meatballs:
I use half ground beef and half ground pork
Breadcrumbs preferably fresh, ditto cheese (I prefer pecorino romano.)
I use only a touch of beaten egg to bind the ingredients.

Is anyone else getting confused between ‘bultrey’ and ‘butterfly’?
Not at all.

Take a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge, go to BB Park, the High Line, grab dinner at Del Posto’s, see a play, and get back to me.
And as we all now know, Bay Ridge has a *lot* of restaurants…

Agree with dh, although Bay Ridge & Kensington would be on my list.
yeah – was just gonna say that – and sunset park too.

etson, I think DIBS has said both things. He wanted space, and property that would increase in value over time.
