The walk-up buildings in the bottom right corner of the pic are the most coveted of all buildings. They typically have 14ft ceilings and are very spacious compared to the shoe boxes they sell/rent as “modern apartments” -many are still rent controlled at $150-$250 a month.
-Otherwise expect to rent to start at $1500 for a studio.
anyway, FWIW: NYC is not so much about the buildings as it is about the people. In my experience, the generations who have grown up in walk-up neighborhoods like these typically produced the most honorable, hard working people of the city.

-All that aside, the best part about the lower east side are the live music bars in alphabet city..
Old Dan Lynch regulars may remember..

It’s Simon of Joey Miserable and The Worms fame..
“the musician’s musician”
I grew up with Simon. He’s got more musical talent than all of the top 100 put together. He’s been playing the NYC area since the late 60′s or so..
-and always puts on a great show.. Chuck will be there too..
If there are any musicians in here local to the area, make all effort to go. I guarantee you will have a blast and learn things about music you never even dreamed off.
-White, Black or Plaid, it’ll be the best time you ever had..

I really like this series of photos John.
You can’t sell that photo to the Daily Bugle because I don’t see Spider-Man anywhere.
White roofs. How green of them. Now they just need to paint everything white to reflect heat.
Of course it’s going to make things even colder during the winter.
#27 Good, my padawan. Now, show me your anger!
#1 back when I lived there in 2004 on 6th Street between 2nd and 3rd Ave it was $3800 for a 2 br 2 bath. I had some friends paying $2400 for a studio in soho, and other friends paying $700 for a 3 br in Brooklyn. It varied.
One thing is for sure – there is no place like NYC!
New York is foul. I can’t imagine anyone ever wanting to go there.
Good, you won’t be missed.
And I guess this topic demonstrates once again the number of small minds that contribute to the make up we call America.
How many New Yorkers does it take to replace a light bulb?
None of your fucking business!
#50 Yours seem at the head of the small pack
#51 Now that was good. Learn a thing or two conFusion.
lol…#51 (especially) and #52 win the thread..
good show.

Seriously though…

I co-produced Simon’s first two albums back in ’85. The guy is a literal virtuoso with stringed instruments and is truly inspiring to listen to.
He even backed up Bo Diddly on several occasions when he came to town..
Best of all, -all original music and NO COVER charge!
