I will be taking the train into Grand Central. From there, I need to get to Penn Plaza. Is there a subway that rubs from Grand Central right to Penn Station? Or am I better off just taking a cab? Also, I noticed that the subway systems have numbers, like 4 5 6 Does that mean that you need to take a 4, then a 5 than a 6? How does that work? I'm used to Boston's subway system. Much Easier...Red, Yellow, Blue.

Can you live on $5,500 per month (which is like $66,000 income per year) in Park Slope, Brooklyn? Its just my husband my 1 yr. old daughter and I. We will be renting an apartment.

We are hoping to make $80,000 combined but the estimate above is just the worst case scenario.

I hate to insult New York City as it surely has pluses, but I think at least nowadays that it's extremely overrated & overpopulated. It is NOT glamorous. Even the richest parts of manhattan (at least outside), aren't that impressive whatsoever. Glam? Try fake people. That's everywhere.There are many other spots in the U.S. that are better, and it's just polluted, dirty/grimey, and rushy.

Yes there are schools/business headquarters, etc, here, but not ONLY here, elsewhere too.

Why is New York City SO highly sought after, and why do people "aspire," to move to a place that's hell behind a name? You're paying MORE to live in a place where anything can happen (good or horrible). Yes you can make it, but you can also get killed, etc. You can also make it elsewhere.

It also THINKS its the place to be, but it isn't. It's like everyone who's from here THINKS that they're in some utopia, when they're literally walking in manure, and don't even realize it.

It's funny actually! lol

If not are there cabs near the Oakdale station? I am trying to get somewhere in Long Island without a car, and the directions I have seem a bit messed up.

How do we tell the real stuff from the fake stuff? Or do the fake stuff look like the real stuff but have a different brand, and thus, are easy to distinguish?

So what kind of changes are exactly happening to Coney Island? I'm hearing some different stories, some good, some bad. I went to NYC this past Spring with my school but we didn't go to Coney Island. I've always wanted to go there. Are the changes going to harm that certain Coney Island Charm that I hear about?

I am visiting NYC the day after labor day for a week in the first part of September. Its my 3rd visit, however, the first time during September. I am afraid its going to be warm and humid. Are there any locals that can provide further insight? Will it at least cool off at night enough to wear a blazer/jacket. NYC locals only please.....

I used to live in Brooklyn as a little kid, and my parents don't know which neighborhood we lived in. I lived in the section of Ocean Avenue that is close to Avenue N - if you know which neighborhood that's considered, please solve this life-long mystery.

For those who still think the NYC is the greatest city on earth, I'd like you to reconsider. May be you've never traveled outside the US, I don't blame you. Most American think that USA is the whole world. I want you to open your eyes on some other corners of the world. I can compare it to a few Asian cities I've been to: San Francisco, Buffalo, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore (country), Taipei (Taiwan):

1. Transportation: NYC has the oldest subway system, trains are small, smelly, dirty and very bad on schedule. When I lived there, I got stuck in the train at least once per week. Compare this to Hong Kong, where the subway system is clean, accurate and fast. If the subway has problems and bring a 10 minutes delay, it will become headlines on next day's paper already. NYC - lose.

2. Sanitation: Most of the city area are full of trash, trash cans are full all the time without cleaning. Subway tracks are full of rats and trash, subway walkway sometimes filled with the smell of urine. In Singapore, you can hardly find ONE trash on the street. NYC - lose.

3. Crime rate: NYC became much much safer these years (thanks to NYPD), but many high schools are still very scary. High school students bring in knives and guns to school, I just wouldn't want my kids to go to any public school in NYC. Compare to Taiwan, where there has been 0 killing at high schools in the past 15 years. NYC - lose.

4. Communications: In Tokyo, people are using 3G, 4G cell phones to watch TVs and have face-face conferences with friends already, while NY-ers are still doing text message, and the worse thing is that there is no cell phone signal in subway!! What the hell~~ NYC - BIG lose.

5. Shopping: NYC has great shopping, but it also comes with 8.75% taxes, while Hong Kong has a no-tax-at-all shopping environments on almost everything (except for cigarette and gas). NYC - lose.

6. Museum and Arts: NYC is the place for museum and arts and no place can compare (not sure about Euro cities), so NYC - win.

7. Traffic: Most big cities have traffic problems, but NYC roads are the worst in the US. NY drivers are well trained with avoiding holes, compare to San Francisco, and any other city in the States, NYC - lose.

8. Housing: With $250K, what can you buy in NYC? A 500 sq ft apt? Or a shitty house at Halem? With $250K, I can already afford a 2000 sq ft house in Buffalo with a forrest behind and river view in the front: NYC - lose.

NYC is definitely a great city to work in, to visit, but it is NOT a great city to live in. People, please open your eyes, stop saying NYC is the greatest city on earth for God sake. That will only show your ignorance.

My boyfriend and I are going to NYC for a week next Friday. He is Italian and loves mob movies and stuff like that. Are there any places to learn about the history of the NYC mob in NYC? I know it's an odd question. I just thought it might be interesting for him. Thanks a bunch!!!

I am a Visual/Media Arts major from Emerson College in Boston. I've lived in a CT all my life, and have been to NY many times. Many of my friends are L.A. bound, but I'm not comfortable leaving everything I know 3,000 miles away. I'm talented, and I'd rather do NY for film/video/audio, but is there enough visual/media work in NYC?

I am going to Central Park for the first time, and I will probably be there all day. Also, I will be going to the summerstage show on Sunday night. Is there anywhere to eat in Central Park that is not expensive. I know I could bring a picnic like bag, but I really do not want to carry much stuff while walking around. Is there a burger, or hot dog stand there?

I'm reserving a flight that lands in JFK on a weekday morning, and I need to go to Brooklyn. Might take a shuttle. Does it matter if I land around 6am or 8am?

In other words, how bad is rush hour around ridgewood or the 495 and all that? I'm from L.A. so I'm extra-cautious :-)
