Marjorie’s apartment was really cool. I have never had such a “local” experience in NYC, but staying in a tenant-owned building in Midtown made that possible, and it was lovely. The neighborhood felt relaxed and safe, and the access to both uptown and downtown spots was ideal. I’m a morning runner, so it was nice to be able to run a few blocks down to the river and run along the bike/pedestrian path. In terms of the apartment itself, Marjorie has literally thought of everything you could possibly need and provided it. We ate in for breakfast and got a few take out dinners because we were so tired, so having the little kitchen proved to be very convenient. Finally, I’m eternally grateful for Marjorie’s travel tips for getting into town from JFK. Follow her instructions and save big time on transportation. We got there for $8 each.
