And a nice Fiberama awning. “You’ll be pleased.”
True, the residents of Queens are happy relative to the residents of Brooklyn. Perhaps its becuase brownstones are too gloomy. Nothing some brightly colored siding and a few garden gnomes can’t cure.
“Happy is relative”
Exactly.
I’m a lot happier in CHts than I was living in Williamsburg, with its perpetual construction and overwhelming population of wanna-be musicians.
Could I be even happier in a hood like Cobble Hill, probably. But I try to count my blessings.
Happy is relative.
That may be the case, but are you happy?
100% Fluff piece, but still, I like reading about New Yorkers.
The nerd in me has to say this though: If all even, approximately 500+ people were interviewed from each borough; that’s not really enough to draw any statistically significant conclusions. And obviously the particular neighborhoods the respondents hailed from are going to have a lot to do with their answers . . . I know Queens, and I wouldn’t trade living in Crown Heights for the majority of its neighborhoods.
that saganaki is darn good
Charred octopus, broiled feta, saganaki, spanakopita…damn I’m hungry.
I love those Greek restaurants without menus. And the charred octopus. Though I do feel guilty for eating it based on the invertebrate intelligence scale.
