70-remsen-floorplan.jpgHere’s a nice meat-and-potatoes prewar listing in Brooklyn Heights that should hit the sweet spot of many apartment hunters. Wall color aside, this two-bedroom, two-bath place at 70 Remsen Street has nice prewar bones, a new kitchen and a more open layout than you’d expect to find. And obviously the 103-unit building is a charmer. The asking price of $865,000 also seems reasonable for a 1,060-square-foot pad in this part of town.

  1. Dave, I haven’t been there nearly as much as you (only twice in fact and the last trip was some time ago). I can’t recall the specific names of the bars but I had a friend from Singapore with me who gave me the grand tour. I wanted to experience all of the different kinds of drinking establishments and I think by the end I did. Certainly spent lots of time around the area you mentioned above.

  2. Which particular bars do you enjoy Biff?? Normal bars and “patpong style” bars? There’s a nice Irish bar on the corner of Silom Rd and Soi Convent just across the Silom from where you enter Patpong.

    “My” bar is Tawan.

  3. BRG, touche! But alas, I meant it in the literal sense. I love the country and the people. And the language is beautiful, as are the women.

    promenade, can you just give us another hour / 50 posts or so?

  4. The “off” fee at the bars runs between 100-200 Baht.

    The Sukhothai Hotel has arguably the best Thai restaurant in Bangkok; not only ambiance but food quality…and yes, very inexpensive.

  5. The exchange rate when I was there was 40B/USD. Still seems pretty good. I remember getting one of the fanciest and best meals I ever had for less than $20US. (Of course this is in a country where you can get a delicious bowl of fish ball soup for less than 50 cents). I gave an extra $10 or so and they practically kissed my feet as I was leaving.
