This was our first time in NYC. Took my teenage daughter and mom. We couldn’t have asked for a better location to be. Train station just a few steps away. 20-30 min rides to Chinatown, Statue of Liberty, time square , Manhattan Bridge. Location didn’t make us feel like tourist but made us feel more like locals. We really enjoyed the area and felt safe . Had the best bagels every morning at “between the bagel NY.” We can’t wait to plan our next trip back . :)
