If we’ve heard it once, we’ve heard it a hundred times: 1980s NYC was the place to be. Artists, activists, business people and bohemians, yuppies, and yokels, all striving and thriving in the “real” New York City. But was it really that different from today? Was it really better? We asked six New Yorkers: Would you rather live in 1980s NYC or present day NYC?
Ah! L’amour! As Valentine’s Day approaches (it's next Sunday, in case you consciously/subconsciously forgot), we put six New Yorkers to the test to see where their hearts truly reside. We asked: At this point in your life, would you rather find your dream partner or your dream apartment?
A couple of weeks ago we ran a story here on Brick about a Brooklyn co-op that turned down a $150,000-plus payday in order to avoid new construction adjacent to their building that would change the feel of the neighborhood and bring on their noise, too.
Sufficient storage is always a bit of of an issue when living in tight city quarters. In our continuing quest to find out what New Yorkers really want, we asked five of them: Would you rather have a kitchen pantry or a linen closet? Spoiler: The upcoming storm forecast swayed some of them.
