Hi there,
In September we are moving to NY from Amsterdam. I am hoping to get your 2cts on what would be the nicest neighbourhood to live, considering I have to commute to Rockefeller Plaza for work and my wife will be taking care of our 2 year old. The following things are important for us (although we realise that we cannot get it all):
- park/playground nearby;
- relatively family friendly, plenty of things to do with a kid;
- but with nice bars/restaurants nearby;
- commute time <40 mins to Rockefeller Plaza.
- if possible a 1.5 bathroom;
Our budget is about 4k and we are considering UWS, Williamsburg or Cobble/Boerum Hill/Carrol Gardens.
Main questions I have atm are:
- Are UWS above 80th and NW Brooklyn lively enough (cannot seem to find anything acceptable below);
- Is Williamsburg (preferably north) also nice with a kid?
I would appreciate any input and tips you may have.
Best regards,
SBNL
