![]() I haven't been in a band for awhile, but I would love to play at any of those places if I had one. I like Cake Shop on Ludlow Street, Knitting Factory in Williamsburg and the Bell House in Gowanus. Probably the best places to check out bands are in the East Village, the Lower East Side and the Williamsburg and Greenpoint areas. What's the best neighborhood to discover your new favorite band? We tried a bunch of pizza joints here in Yorkville and couldn't find one we liked and finally realized there was a Nick's up here too, so we have been saved from bad pizza, though my favorite pizza remains Joe and Pat's on Victory. I also love Nick's Pizza on Ascan Avenue (where I usually get a large pie with meatballs and sausage) and the 5 Burro Cafe for Mexican food. I go back and visit to get knishes at the Knish Nosh on Queens Boulevard and 67th Road. It still seems like a great place to live. However, I still love my old neighborhood of Forest Hills, Queens. I go to a local tavern called Reif's and love hearing the old stories about the neighborhood from the regulars. I really like Yorkville because it has a real neighborhood feel like Queens. What’s your favorite neighborhood and why? What is your favorite delivery place and what do you order? He had been murdered I don't think the crime was ever solved! Also, the week I moved in, the owner of the complex's body was fished out of the pond. Also I had to have a car because it was far from everything. It was a nice clean new construction, but I had problems with bugs-ants and even bees-because I was living near a pond. One apartment I had in Wappingers Falls, New York, near Poughkeepsie, had laundry across the street, and a free gym within walking distance. Living upstate was in some ways very similar to residing in NYC, though I had more amenities. You’ve also lived all over the state of New York-Newburgh, Oneonta, Poughkeepsie. ![]() I really do prefer Yorkville since moving here. It was noisy and the neighborhood was very hectic because it was so close to the 59th Street Bridge and Midtown. My least favorite place was on East 58th Street between First and Second. I do miss certain aspects of Astoria it was quieter and there were great places to eat-bakeries and cafes that reminded me of my old neighborhood growing up in Forest Hills, Queens. There was lots of storage space, but my view was of a graveyard. I have also lived in Astoria, Queens, on the second floor of walk-up building. I had a car at the time and needed it to go shopping, do laundry, etc. I found my one bedroom-in a mother-and-daughter house in a very suburban neighborhood-in the local newspaper. It was fine with me because my dad and other family members live there. My first NYC apartment was on Staten Island because when I started in 2001 at NY1, I was the Staten Island reporter and had to live there. From what I see they seem like a mix of ages and there are not many families here they seem to live in other buildings in the neighborhood.Īs a Queens native and Manhattan high school attendee, how difficult was it for you to find your own first NYC apartment?

What is the one thing you’d like to change most about your current place? The post-war buildings with gyms, laundry, and rooftop spaces sound quite inviting. Right now my current building is pre-war and we love it, but I wouldn't mind living in a newer construction building with more amenities. Our cat Beatrice loves it back there as well.Īre you a pre-war or post-war person in terms of living space? We don't have much of a view, but the backyard makes up for that. We have planted a small garden back there, hosted a few parties and had meals outside when it was warm. We liked the big kitchen, new appliances, closet space, and the built-in bookcase, but its best feature is the backyard-so rare in Manhattan. I moved into the apartment with my girlfriend Jenny back in January and someday we hope to buy. I currently live in a ground-floor rental studio apartment in Yorkville. What area of NYC do you live in now and what type of apartment do you have? Why did you pick it? Known for his fearless, fun and endearing approach to reporting, he has, according to his bio, “surfed at Rockaway Beach, climbed rock walls, learned the trapeze, figure skated, kayaked the Hudson, canoed the Gowanus Canal and eaten prawn at seven in the morning.” We set out to see if he was just as intrepid when it comes to apartments.
