Sam's place is special. You will be right in the middle of Chinatown, with all it's hustle, and bustle, and live crabs being sold on the corner (seriously, live crabs!). Yet 2 short blocks away you'll be in Little Italy, with restaurant after restaurant of old school Italian cuisine. But wait!, a few short blocks to the east and you'll be in the lower east side with cool bars, tons of art galleries, and a real scene even in these Covid-induced times. Sam's place is warm and cozy with enough room if you just want to hang out and order in. She is a great host—responsive, checking in regularly and making sure everything is alright with you. It was a wonderful 3 months living there. No matter how much time you are planning on spendin, you can't go wrong with Sam's place. Enjoy!
