Good bookstore? Are you sure?
There is a really terrific coffee shop with Tivoli Home attached down across from Jacques Torres. Don’t recall the name, but we scurried in there during the thunderstorm yesterday and I thoroughly enjoyed my iced mocha and attractive patrons.
Great bookstore right near there also.
The spicey hot chocolate does it for me. But its so rich I want to sit down and vegetate for half an hour after consuming it.
Can I just say how nice it is that posters like Heather, dittoburg and 11217 (three of my faves) can disagree without biting each other’s heads off? To jump into the fray, I’m glad to live close to DUMBO and think it’s nice to visit, but, you guessed it, I wouldn’t want to live there. I appreciate the beautiful views, some nice restaurants and of course Jacques Torres Frozen Hot Chocolate. And it is a nice place to bring tourists. But, to echo dittoburg, no pun intended, it just feels too disjointed and not “neighborhoody” to me given the highways and bridges running through it. Just my opinion.
I was just in Dumbo yesterday for part of the day with a friend from out of town, and I have to say it’s one of my favorite neighborhoods in all of NYC. We’ve been to about 20 neighborhoods so far on his visit to NYC this past week (Manhattan and Brooklyn) and he said after we left that Dumbo was his favorite so far.
If I didn’t live in Park Dope, I’d be in Dumbo. Just love it there.
That’s the beauty of NYC…we all don’t like the same things.
Yeah, Ditto, no idea. The air is terrible down there. Williamsburg IS much nicer than that at least.
And 11217, I think you’re probably right about the coop thing… although it makes me wonder what will happen to the condos.
Yea – that DUMBO thing? Why is it that people pay for living in the middle of three of the busiiest highways in Brooklyn.
Thanks for clarifying, Heather. I guess I went on my soapbox prematurely. Sorry about that.
I guess I think prices may come down 15% or so (or possibly stay relatively flat for the next 3-5 years).
I also think that most people will be fine and that the ones who will be affected most are those who were speculators and those who end up having to move because of illness/divorce, etc. I think this is about 10% of the population, give or take.
I think the co-op market with its financial rules, will play a small part in “saving” much of the NYC housing market from severe
I also think that in NYC, when people see good deals, they are going to snatch them up, because they know the overall long range desirability of NYC still exists. So I think sales might pick up if prices drop even slightly…
I have no clue though. These are all just educated guesses, really.
Yeah, with the Syrians and Bukharans (and Satmars/Lubavitchers), the price and the existing home are almost inconsequential. What it is is the price of belonging to a cradle-to-grave system of mutually assured survival.
I don’t think sales to groups like these ought to be included in the “top sales” feature, since most of the properties never even went on the open market, and probably no one who reads this site would want to live in those communities, and they certainly wouldn’t want us…
