I know a lot about Manhattan, but I was wondering about the other boros. Are there other “cool” or good neighborhoods where young, hip professionals live? (And I’m not talking about Williamsburg). Most of my friends live in Manhattan, W’burg, and Park Slope but are there places in Queens that are cool? I want some place that feels safe and somewhat residential, but also has fun restaurants, cafes, etc. and access to the city.

I need to get from Park Slope in Brooklyn to JFK. Can I call the taxi company to schedule a pick-up? If this is possible, can you give me a phone #, and how reliable is this?

I’ll be starting work in NYC (in the financial district) later this fall after I graduate. I’m trying to get advice on what area I should move to (I’ll be coming in from out-of-state). I’m considering living in Brooklyn instead of NYC in order to save some money.
Preferences:
-Rent no more than $1400/month
-No more than 20-25 min. away from the Financial District
-Safe area
-Possibly good shopping/interesting attractions
Right now it seems like Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, and Bay Ridge are good options. I’m open to other suggestions.
Also, if you give any suggestions, can you please be specific about the particular areas (ex. stating street numbers) so I can know where to look for housing? I understand that some areas of a city can be shady while others are pretty safe.
Thanks in advance.
