  1. This isn’t West Virginia, 12:18.

    There are not too many under 35 parents in this city buying studios and 1 bedrooms.

    Those successful enough in the financial department to be married with kids at that young age are buying brownstones in prime Park Slope.

    I know because they are my neighbors.

    Oh and my bf works for Corcoran and he said there are very few with kids who bought at Novo. He said most are in their 20’s and single.

    So actually I do know what I’m talking about.

  2. What I don’t like about it how it is pushed so far back from the street-it looks so strange and out of place there – why didn’t they put it flush to the sidewalk and it would look much better.

  3. Hey, 11:09–I’m no fan of the hotel’s looks or pricing, but I think you’re being a tad hyperbolic regarding the TripAdvisor reviews. There is really only ONE that is a true negative–2 out of 5. After that, you’ve bot two 5/5 a 4/5 and a 3/5.

    Sure, all of them mention the location as ugly–but it didn’t keep them from giving it an overall high rating. So settle down.
