The reply to my request was quite quick. Bob gave good hints to reach his flat after landing at Newark Airport. His family was very kind to us, too, giving us information on Manhatten's history and the New York green movement. The city-center could be easily reached using the L-Line. In the neighbourhood there were quite a number of little restaurants as well as a well-sorted supermarket. We enjoyed staying in Brooklyn with John and his family.
