The kitchen, which is right off the entrance corridor was readily available. Upon my entrance, Clara, made me a cup of coffee. A block away is Joe's Sicilian bakery with bread and various deserts 'to die for'. There are two Chinese restaurants, a coffee shop (good and inexpensive) on the same block and a supermarket at the light on Bell Boulevard. The bus stop very close and the LIRR would be about a six block walk for transportation to JFK international airport of the restaurants, movie theaters concerts, plays and shopping in Manhattan.
