Far from trains!

not much going on there but youre in walking distance from penn station so who cares

(by walking distance i mean maybe 5 minutes)

thats kind of an in-between area due to its location. There's good stuff north +/- 10 blocks (hell's kitchen and chelsea, respectively) but that area's kinda dead. Or rather, it's full of oddball-ness and thing you wouldn't expect to see in NYC.

Not so good: You're about a stone's throw from the entrance to the lincoln tunnel which means lots of exhaust, there's also a HUGE train depot about a block away which tends to have homeless people camped out around it all the time. You're right in midtown which means it will be PACKED during rush hour and very empty late at night.

Sorta good: very close to penn station which is useful. You're 2 blocks from the river, which has a DOPE park you can chill out in.

if you can move the first week of january and have a budget of around $1,500 it would make my life infinitely easier to get a room. lmk if you are serious.

i see nothing prohibitive about living there. walking to 8th for the train is not a huge deal and it's an up and coming area.

There are some infrastructure issues that will prevent it from ever really becoming up-and-coming. If by up-and-coming you mean one of the few non-rediculously expensive areas of manhattan then you're right. I just don't think it's ever gonna reach the price point of say, 34th and 2nd ave...

thanks for all the input guys. much appreciated. i am going to send my friend to go look at it for me. she's a bitch princess from the UES so i'll get a very exaggerated description of it and take it from there.

Nice! my favorite homeless guy lives around there... Be sure to always carry around a loaf of raisin bread or he'll spray you.
