  1. 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.

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

  4. “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.
