York in the low 60s

newbuyer99, I live pretty close to those streets. It's a nice street to walk along, but very quiet in terms of pedestrian traffic. Alot of car activity because of the bridge. It's a pretty long walk to some amenities. nearby supermarkets: food emporium 59th/1st and Gristedes at 65th/1st. Dry cleaners, drug stores on 1st avenue. Also Bed bath & beyond with good prices for drug store items is 61st/1st. Subway is on Lexington, buses are closer. My concern would be safety if I were walking on the street late evening because except for the cars, no foot traffic.

I found that a dead zone. Just not a lot of life, not too many stores. You have to walk to first ave just to get some civilization. Its sorta quiet, but not in a good way.

In terms of park, there is the almost empty park at 61-62 and York. Decent. But not much life.

and thats a hike from the subway.

I forgot to mention that Gourmet Garage is on East 64th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues. Also there's a playground on 1st Avenue between East 67th and East 68th Street which is usually pretty busy.
