We dearly love Astoria, which we definitely haven't explored enough; and we especially love our apartment, which is easily the best place I've lived in my 16+ years of NYC living (!); but we miss our friends.  I

Do you know what part of brooklyn you are thinking of?

[jervo]

Not necessarily. We'd prefer to live near the bigger subway lines - the B/D/F, N/R, etc. Obviously we'd like a neighborhood that's safe, fun, has the necessary amenities, and is near people we know. That's pretty much about it, though - we have friends all over Brooklyn. Bay Ridge probably has the most options in terms of what we need and can afford.

I totally hear you on wanting to be closer to friends. I'm having some soul-searching on that issue myself lately.

jer, bay ridge is nice, but if you're still working in midtown that commute to and from could become a pain in the ass. i mean you could catch the N train, but if stuck on the R, you're looking at a good 45 minutes to an hour (that's if you're not stuck in train traffic). and forget about going to manhattan on the weekend without wishing you could kill yourself, the mta, on the train ride home. bay ridge is probably why ally and i dont go to manhattan as often as we used to.
