House of the Day: 225 Garfield Place
This brownstone at 225 Garfield Place in Park Slope was an Open House Pick on Friday but it clearly deserves the full House of the Day treatment. Exterior? Great. Location? Great? Gut renovation? Extensive and probably expensive. Does it work for you? More importantly, can it fetch the $2,290,000 asking price? 225 Garfield Place [Corcoran]…

I don’t mind Tyburg, he just sounds frustrated but is keepin’ it real here.
Brickoven on the other hand gets the award from me for being tied with Cornerbodega for most asinine and ignorant poster on Brownstoner.
“EastNewYork has been added to my total twat list.”
At least I’m not whining on a blog about how I can’t afford to live in NYC….WAAAAAA!!!! Sob, sob.
“East New York is dumb even by team bull standards”
Hey brickoven – I’m writing up a new lease as we speak and I’m charging DOUBLE for any tenant who takes in a roommate. Try and stop me!! HA! HA!
Oh, this is fun!!
Nomi, this price tag will cause folks to take a permenant vacation from NY.
I should write a book…!
Living the simple life in a world-class city.

East New York is dumb even by team bull standards
Well for me, getting to be here and feel the energy of all of the 8.4 million people all from different parts of the world and feel inspired by that energy is the reason I live here.
In another city, I’d have probably done the walk, a drive and a long trip to the couch for some tv watching.
Here, I want to be out, talking to people, learning new things…and doing what might be simple things, but in yes…a world-class setting.
And every once in a while getting to enjoy something so spectacular that makes me realize I’m never leaving.
EastNewYork has been added to my total twat list.
11217 — I totally hear you. And I do. I basically did the same things as you this weekend, except the museum, and replace walk with bike…. but the “simple life” is an odd way to approach life in a “world class city” — no?
You aren’t very creative, Tyburg. You are only proving the point about how you should leave. NYC is not for everyone. You don’t seem to be able to think outside the box AT ALL…
Go get rush tickets for a Broadway show. I do. They’re $20.
Go to the first Saturday at Brooklyn Museum. It’s free.
Go read a cookbook and buy the ingredients to make a fantastic Mario Batali meal for your friends for 1/10th what it would cost to go to one of his restaurants.
Go to BAM, where many shows have great reasonably priced tickets, find a friend who manages artists and can get you into shows for free.
This is the beauty of NYC…it takes some work to make it work, but once you do, it’s a cornucopia of riches!
And I don’t mean money.
