TONY Recommends: Carroll G, Sunset P and The Wick

The title of Time Out New York‘s current issue is Apartments: How to find a place when you’re ready for the next phase of your life. Not surprisingly, the County of Kings pops up more than once. Carroll Gardens gets the nod in the You’re tired of hip, gritty and edgy category. And if you’re looking for one of New York’s last untouched neighborhoods, TONY recommends Sunset Park where you are encouraged not to worry about the lack of nightlife: “I remember all Williamsburg was 10 to 15 years ago was a bar and a bulletin board near the L stop,” says 34-year Sunset Parker Jason Hernandez-Rosenblatt. “And look what happened there. And for those young lovebirds looking to play house but not quite ready to breed, there’s always Bushwick. Once people realize they can get a 1,000-square-foot loft with skylights for $1,300 a month and still be only ten minutes from Manhattan, the 300-square-foot, fifth-floor walk-up with the shower in the kitchen on Ludlow Street for $2,300 doesn’t look so great anymore, says Chrissy Rossettie, an ArdorNY agent.

No mafia ? then who is running the unions?
There is no mafia!
Notice the article says that Wiliamsburg was just a bar and a bulletin board 10-15 years ago. Artists started moving in there–and in DUMBO–around 1979. It took a lo-o-o-ong time for real estate boom to find that out. So, I think the TONY nabes are pretty discovered and I’d be interested in word on much smaller and cheaper enclaves.
this is why i’m complaining…
The Straphangers Campaign has released its annual State of the Subways Report Card and yet again, the 6 train is named the best line while the N is the worst. The other trains, from best to worst, were the 1/9, 7, 4, E, J/Z, L, 5, Q, 2, 3, V, F, A, D, R, M, B, W, C. So, overall, it seems that the crappiest grouping of lines are the B, D, F, V – which comes as no surprise, as though cars are really old and crappy.
guess i’m not the only one as even the MTA thinks the F is one of the worst.
I can’t see how you are complaining about the “f” train it is 4 stops from manhattan from smith street and 3 stops from bergen street, Or you can pedal your way up Adams and over the Bridge in 15 min and wow your on Wall street, is that a bad commute?
my commute from Bushwick is 10-15 minutes to the East Village. This is correct….even the further places in the hood are like 20-25..
and don’t forget that park slope has the Q train (probably one of the best in nyc) which gets you to union square in 10 minutes or the 2/3 train which takes you to any west side of manhattan location quite quickly.
sorry to compare that to the F or G trains is pretty ludicrous.
no matter how great cg is, the transportation factor is not one of its strong points.
Don’t forget that CG has the G train too. It may not take you to manhattan but it does take you to other trains that take you to manhattan. I watch all those saps waiting for the F when I take the G and transfer to the same trains but without all of the mayhem. Try it someday.
I agree anan 12:26 carroll gardens rocks over Park slope and to the other posters there are still many Italian flags flying high in carroll gardens, you sure the mafia is out ? I dont think so.
