There's something repelling about the sterilized versions of neighborhoods that supposedly are improvements! There's a book you might find interesting...it's called New York Waters and talks about the NY waterfront and changes.

And it's good coffee!<BR/><BR/>I'll have to write a post or two about the quiet places I've found, like the botanical gardens and a few of the cemeteries. There's a lot of peace and quiet in the Bronx, if you know where to look for it.<BR/><BR/>Moving has taken a little getting used to, and I'm still working on it, but I feel like I fit in here, at least for the Cranksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02963261408896541210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33571361.post-14462924439169801272007-08-15T14:29:00.000-04:002007-08-15T14:29:00.000-04:00Most important, where do I stay when I come to vis...Most important, where do I stay when I come to visit? I'm liking the cost of food on the street. <BR/><BR/>And please, go get "Pride of the Yankees" and a bunch of other old videos of the glory days of the NY Yankees, with Babe Ruth in them, and Lou Gehrig, before you go to Yankee Stadium. It's really a shrine to baseball. You don't have to actually like the Yankees to 'feel' the history of the The CEOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132181032041726978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33571361.post-26625375425721781262007-08-15T08:35:00.000-04:002007-08-15T08:35:00.000-04:00Ha!
