Those poor apartment hunters.
They arrive in New York City just to be injected with cruel reality.
Our vacancies is found in a tiny 1.4%. And the median rental in Manhattan is an insulting $ 4,500.
Hi, New York! Goodbye, savings!
And now, it adds to its throbbing migraña is a insane list of a website called Niche: the best 2025 neighborhoods to live in New York City.
Trust this guide if you want to ruin your life.
Perhaps a intern with excess of work confused the results of “areas to definitely avoid a Friday night”?
But no, this assembly AI-Esque is real and supposedly “based on crime, public schools, the cost of living, job opportunities and local comforts” and not the result of a tail game in the municipality.
A particular municipality. All but five of the 25 places are in Manhattan. Park Slope, apparently, is a total Thole. Astoria, guide clear.
Instead, Niche says he raises his children at number 4, Hell’s Kitchen.
In that peace oasis, they can enjoy the two -digit stretch of the gay bars of the ninth avenue, fatty fast food until 4 am and a choir of the night of careless drunks.
And who does not dream of sharing a Nabe with the bus terminal of the Port Authority?
Ridiculum No. 3 is close, and that is where the niche really dropped the ball: the theater district.
Those are the 13 full blocks that house Broadway shows as “Wicked” and “The Lion King.” It is also the location of Times Square: the most popular tourist destination in the United States, with 50 million visitors a year, all of which are transferred on the giant LCD screens while walking like turtles.
It is the neighborhood that has inspired generations of the Midwesterners to say: “New York is fun for a weekend.”
If you should make a list of the best places to smell the pot, burn the caramel corn and Elmo bo before entering a viscous puddle of the guide on the sidewalk, the theater district would easily overcome it.
No. 2? Kips bay.
Some strangers ask: “What is Kips Bay?”
In addition, some New Yorkers ask: “What is Kips Bay?”
His question is philosophical. Because when you are in Kips Bay, both are everywhere and nowhere.
Kips Bay is where the 28 -year -old brother of his university friend lives. Take a tie to a job that never discusses. He does not remember what happened on San Patricio Day, his favorite day of the year.
With an East 23rd Street to East 34th Street, Kips Bay has no defining characteristics. It is the first place to leave dry cleaning and have to walk 25 minutes to get practically anywhere. At least, there are no visitors, since there is absolutely nothing for them.
What takes me to No. 1 – Little Italy.
Little Italy, Lotta Tourists.
These two -story red buses are obsessed with this collecting destination where the Italians barely live.
The home of the Annual San Gennaro party is where it emphatically discourages their travelers to eat pasta too expensive. “Arthur Avenue tests at the Bronx instead,” you tell Sorde Ears.
Look, I have nothing against Little Italy, except that it is full of people and expensive and the apartments are old and small and I prefer to eat elsewhere. But calling him the best neighborhood to live in New York is absurd.
Anyway, everyone knows where New Yorkers are directed when they are concerned about crime, public schools, cost of living, job opportunities and local comforts.
Florida!
