Good selection of regular, organic, and gourmet food items but a bit of a walk from our apt. There is also a Key Food down the street from us but it isn't as good.

Neighborhoods

This neighborhood is the perfect blend of commercial and residential, practical and scenic. From brownstones and mansions to prewar apartment buildings lining the streets and 3rd and 5th avenues offering an array of shops, including ethnic grocers, pharmacies, boutiques, dollar stores, cafes, etc. Several parks including Owl's Head and Shore Parkway with views of Manhattan and the Verrazano. Extremely culturally diverse where you can hear Chinese, Mexican, Arabic, and Russian being spoken all on one corner.

여행 팁

경비 절약 방법

Dollar stores!

For cheap household stuff and random things you'd find at an overpriced pharmacy.
여행 전에 기억할 점

COVID: Always confirm availability before you go!

Before going to any restaurant, museum, or site, call ahead / visit the website to confirm COVID protocols and if reservations are required.
교통편

Subway & Ferry

While subway is probably the best way to get around the city, sometimes driving is faster. The ferry (same as subway fare) is less populated than the subway or buses and also gives you a chance to see the Manhattan skyline!
