    "Fantastic, doesn’t get any better than this! It’s super quick, one stop on the L or JMZ into Manhattan. The G train connects you to trains in Brooklyn. The ferry is also very convenient and connects you to Dumbo, Wall St, 34 st."

    "It used the burning hot center of the hipster multiverse. It’s now Manhattan East. For those with means and a desire for nightlife, while having more space than they would get in Manhattan. It’s truly obnoxious, actually. "

    "The dog park is pretty well maintained and friendly people and dogs mostly. Great pet supply stores and some shops have dog ice cream and dog beer. Always ask if a dog is friendly first and be a little bit more wary of people walking their dogs who are irresponsible and delusional about their dogs being aggressive. "
