    "Beautiful neighborhood! You are on th beach and yet just less than an hour rom Manhattan . There are a number of good restaurants and cafes in the area and during the summer time, there are beach bars and cafes. Public transportation makes downtown Manhattan easily accessible by the ferry and midtown by express bus, or both by subway "

    "This is the ultimate for beach living. My neighbors are awesome. It's close to the train that goes into times square without any transfers. The ferry will also take you to the city. Shops popping up all the time. Board walk is great for running, biking, walking all year round. Your dog will love running the beach in the winter. "
