Mikes place is in Long Island City. He is not far from the water (waking) which has great views of the NYC skyline day or night. It is truly a great location, less than 100 yards to the Vernon/Jackson Subway access to the #7 line which takes you right into Midtown Manhattan--passing through Penn Station and 7th and 42nd street within 15 minutes of being on the train. Mike's place is efficient, clean and functional, cool and clean and easy to get in and out. The police station is between the apartment and the metro station. in and around his place for breakfast and dinner, provides great places to eat, drink and hang out in the evening. It is also very quiet in the evening. We are already planning our trip back. Renae and Tom
