This place is where “real New Yorkers” live. It’s a several block walk to restaurants, but they are worth it! The bus stop is literally out the door and is the first and last stop on the route which makes it easy to know when to get off. The ferry is also close by, and it’s a nice ride to Wall St. You also get a decent view of Roosevelt Island from the roof of the building. It’s worth staying here, but you will need to take the bus to get to any subway station.
