  1. If you’re down with the McDonald’s odor 6:46, you need to buy at that joint on 1st street that’s looming over it. All you’ll get at NoVo is the faint whiff of special sauce.

  2. This is so cool. You can order Papa Johns and eat it while you watch your fat wife take a shower.. I love 4th ave it is just like Park ave. I am buying an apartment in the NOVO so I can shop at Pep boys and smell McDonalds every day. It is just like the Midwest and New Jersey all wrapped in one little nice package. My life is complete. I love Brooklyn. Brownstoner rocks, too.

  3. Because they’re POOR, 6:05. Obviously, you’re some rich, Park Slope Hedge Fund Stroller Mom who couldn’t care less about anyone else but little Griffin and Annabelle and all your shallow, pedicure-getting beotch friends! So do me a favor and move to Westchester, already! You make the city I once loved, stink like shite!

  4. 2:48 – changing slowly???

    Forget the retail – have you not noticed the 5-6 buildings nearing completion within a few ablocks along 4th Ave – these alone probably represent 600-1000 new residents and there are probably 5-8 more lots that are in some state of demolition or late term planning. Even if the latest economic problems end up canceling 1/2 of them you are still looking at HUGE IMMEDIATE changes on 4th Ave.

  5. “This place is 5-10 years too early”

    Not an invester, are ya?

    Ya gotta be ahead of the curve when it comes to NYC real estate, or before you know it, a neighborhood has already come and been gentrified.

    Better early than late, if you ask me.

    You clearly are behind the 8 ball and will probably rent for life.
