Had a great time in NYC thanks to Amanda and Roxie's bijou apt. NYC gruff ethnicity at its finest. Was just what we were looking for: close to the subway access at the end of the street we could be almost anywhere in NYC in 30 min's or less, coffee shops, ethnic grocery store, and a great little 70's style/ greasy spoon diner with incredibly cheap prices--not for the healthy food lover though--fried everything. Clean, artsy, breezy and accessible. Thx Amanda & Rox
