Really great location , only 10 mins from Times Square. Good local amenities. If you want a cheap good bar for a drink , try Rudy's to the north on 9th Avenue . Tavola was a good local restaurant recommendation by Kerri. Good apartment for our family of 5 for our week in NY. Summit One near Grand Central and Mintons Jazz place in Harlem string recommendations. Subway and Ferry great for longer journeys , when feet want a rest.
