We had a fun time visiting New York City with our family from France.
It is in a convenient walking distance to the closest supermarket and pharmacy.
There is a nice pizza place right at the subway entrance called New Yankee's Pizza.
You have a 5 to 10 minutes' walk to the metro and then an hour ride to get to downtown Manhattan on the line 6. It took us almost 2 hours to get to JFK Airport on the metro.
Pedro was an excellent host, who answered all our questions very promptly.
