Pat is a very gracious host. Her apartment is roomy with an open kitchen with an eat-in counter. Large living room and bedroom windows with views of the Hudson River and another large living room window with a view of the new World Trade building. It’s also quiet and peaceful because it’s off a busy street where it’s easy to get a cab or public transportation. My husband and I take advantage of the free red bus, the Downtown Connection, that takes us to Tribeca or down to the TKTS booth by South street Seaport.
