You are only half a block, (right at the end of Fernando's street), for a small Family run Deli and grocery store. Milk, juice, fruit, veggies, home made sandwiches and other food to go.
Even cereal, all the basics.
A couple of blocks to a full sized grocery, with meats, fish, and everything you get at your home markets.
Holiday Inn three blocks away, ( and near Citi Field), has a very good Happy Hour, ( noon to 7:00 P.M., ), with a super duper food menu....you need to try there at least once.
Across the street from the Holiday Inn, is a BIG PARK, with big old shade trees. Hang out there. Kid's playground, basketball courts, a soccer field, but plenty of benches to just sit and watch people, in a quiet oases.....after Manhattan.
Subway to Manhattan is 4 blocks away.......what else do you need?
The place was, clean, clean , clean....so worry not that it's listed as a basement...LOL
When I go back to NYC, and I will, (there is far too much to see in only a week).....I will stay there again. ( 30 to 40 minutes to various places in Manhattan.)
I got " lost" a couple times...."local" subways/trains.....and "express" subway / trains. But that was fun too ,as I saw places I would not have visited.....just ask folks, you won't be "lost" for long.....it's an ADVENTURE remember...LOL
I walked to Citi Field for a concert, it is home of the Met's, but other events are put on there.
Fernando picked me up, and returned me to the airport. Why pay $300.00 a NIGHT, in Manhattan....stay here.
