For there to be a movement to make a neighborhood hip, there needs to be some consensus among people who <i>are not</i> brokers in that area that there are: non-sports bars, coffee bars with staff that insults you, a density of non-suit-wearing rich white adults, things along these lines. The opposite of hip, remember, is square, so if you don't want the hipness surcharge, live amongst the squares.Phoebe Maltz Bovyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996039330841139883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-46345085146369677082009-09-04T20:30:12.846-04:002009-09-04T20:30:12.846-04:00Apparently there is an effort under way to make th...Apparently there is an effort under way to make the Financial District hip. Part of this is re-branding it the "Fin-D".

This actually leaves a good number of centrally-located neighborhoods - UES, Murray Hill, Financial district, to name a few.Phoebe Maltz Bovyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996039330841139883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-63533409314125115802009-09-03T20:46:04.251-04:002009-09-03T20:46:04.251-04:00I continue not to see the fascination with a dishw...I continue not to see the fascination with a dishwasher. I have one and use it two, maybe three times a year.<br /><br />What <i>I</i> wanted while living in Manhattan was an apartment where the bathroom door opened more than 45 degrees before hitting the toilet. Or a kitchen where you could open the oven door all the way without it hitting the opposite wall.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13097613583141006228noreply@blogger.com
