Thanks, Liz! This is so helpful - really gives me a good place to start. I know next to nothing about NYC other than very general locations (i.e., Brooklyn is east of Manhattan, which is kind of the tip of the whole island thingy) so this gives me what I need. And that link is wonderful!! Gives me a great launching point. One quick question - can you give me the names of some streets/a major intersection in the neighborhood where you lived? I just want to be able to pinpoint it on mapquest.
Any more info from anyone else out there is still welcome, though. The more the better.
Lynn
