Can a very kind person who lives in or has lived in or is very familiar with New York City answer a few questions for me? I've only been there once and it was in the Times Square area, but the stuff I need to know involves living in the city and in Brooklyn. Any help is greatly appreciated!
1 - What neighborhood could you imagine a young, professional woman who worked in Manhattan living in? Safe, close to work, but not so expensive she'd have to be related to a Trump (she makes a decent salary but not that much!).
2 - How long would it take to get from Manhattan to Brooklyn? And this is not worrying about excessive traffic - just an average (1 hour? 10 minutes???)
3 - Does Brooklyn have areas segregated by nationality? So, for example, an Italian neighborhood, an Irish neighborhood, etc?
Thanks for any input!
Lynn
