Hey everyone, I’m moving to nyc next fall from upstate and want to live in a strong italian neighborhood that has a reasonable/short commute to manhattan. I know there are pockets in all the boroughs, but give me your opinions. My family grew up in bushwick brooklyn in its italian hey day. Grazie.
(Sono Siciliano btw)
Goddamn man, way to freak out.
First off, is it so wrong of me to want to live in a neighborhood that is of a people/culture that I love? Excuse me for not wanting to move to Harlem or Brownsville where I would be treated like a piece of shit. I have been to the city many times so please don’t act like i’m dreaming here. My cousin teaches in the bronx and gets shit on nearly every day walking to school asshole, be it slurs or things thrown at him.
So once again, I am sorry I want to live in a neighborhood that has pride and is safe rather than one filled with drugs, violence and crime.
Obviously I have no problem living in the majority of Manhattan as I UNDERSTAND it is a huge melting pot which is awesome! But if I go to a burrow it isn’t the same. The neighborhood means a lot more.
I am leaving this open to hopefully get a POSITIVE response.

I want to bring my girlfriend over to Coney Island/Astroland before it closes for good this year and season. However, she won’t be able to go this on August, because she’ll be gone for the whole month, so I plan on taking her to Coney Island in the beginning of September, the week after Labor Day. I know it closes in September, but I’m not sure when.
And if I do take her in September, will the rides still be open and we’ll be able to ride them? And will the freak show still be around?
Thanks.
