I'm flying out in a few minutes to NYC. The goal this weekend is to secure an apartment. I've heard and read hundreds of nightmare stories about finding housing in NYC. Several friends of mine who live in Manhattan or one of the surrounding bouroughs have reassured me that these stories are TRUE!
I have apointments lined up all weekend. I'm looking in Astoria (in Queens). I have dear friends, Damon & Arnold, who live in Astoria and I've always loved staying with them on my trips to NYC. Astoria is a great area. Tree lined streets. Delicious Greek bakeries.
I've also discovered a couple of places in Harlem which is now being touted as the next up & coming neighborhood of Manhattan. The city is always growing and now the growth is moving through Harlem and the whole area is being reborn.
So...there are a lot of options and choices. I just want to find a place. It doesn't have to be perfect . I just want to know that I have a place to go when I pull out of Atlanta on the 30th.
Fingers crossed...
