The best way to explore NYC is, of course, on foot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When that becomes too much, you can explore alternatives. I’d avoid cars, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might have gotten glimpses of it if you watched The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt <\/em> or Master of None<\/em>, <\/em> both set for multiple episodes in the bars, streets and playgrounds of the neighborhood. Such is the price for gentrification….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old Polish neighborhood still offers some eastern European cuisine. From pierogies to kielbasa, traditional Polish dishes can be found along Manhattan Avenue. But the rest is fusion, hi-price vegan, nouvelle-foodie heaven. (DO NOT count me among those.) At least some of it goes to good use: this weekend, for example, they had a fundraiser for the local fire station….<\/p>\n\n\n\n
