Is NYC a city of opportunity for just the white collars? What about blue collar workers and the lower-class?
What opportunities does one have without a college education?
Thank you all in advance.
|||The unions pay well for the trades, but in some of them you need to know someone to get in, but not all. There's a lot of construction going on in New York right now so there should be jobs in construction.
There are lots of service jobs usually like bartending and working in restaurants because there are so many. The public transportation agencies all usually have jobs that don't require a college degree.
If you are determined and willing to work you will find something. Good luck to you.|||there are opportunities in nyc that you wouldn't find in other smaller cities...people who who want to become actors, models, wall street tycoons, etc. move to nyc...common people can become millionaires there...i have a couple personal friends who work for martha stweart show and another friend who workds for the letterman show...but for the most part, people just struggle with common jobs and never get the big break they were hoping for...
I'm currently a full-time Mech Engineering student at the University at Buffalo and am considering transferring to either LA or NYC. Can anyone tell me what are some of the good (not necessarily the absolute best, but very good still) engineering schools in NYC or LA? I've looked at UCLA and Columbia. I'm looking for a school with good resources and technology, well funded. I have a 4.0, so Academically am not concerned about difficulty, but some places like NYU costs like $50,000 which seems crazy. Any ideas?|||Information will be found below.
I was wondering how to get to Newport Centre Mall from nyc. I live around Avenue P in Brooklyn.|||I think it would fastest to take N transfer to 2 or 3 at Atlantic Ave. take 2 or 3 to Park Place and take PATH from World trade Center to Pavonia/Newport (one stop, make sure you get on Hoboken train) Taking Path from 33rd St, you are going much further North in Manhattan than required.|||My friend, take the Manhattan-bound (northbound) "F" train to 34th Street.
Once there transfer to the PATH train, either the 33rd Street - Journal Square train to Pavonia-Newport.
Once at Pavonia-Newport, exit the PATH Rail station and follow the directional sign to the mall.
I hope this information is very helpful.
Good luck and happy shopping
Native New Yorker|||Take the B D or N/R to 34th St; switch to the PATH train; take it to Pavonia/Newport in NJ|||All I know is you got to come out of the Holland tunnel..once your out make a left..You'll past one light and make another left onto mall ramp...
I will be a single makeup artist living in nyc and I want to get a dog. What would be a good choice?|||I live in NYC as well! I would recommend a smaller dog, only because their easier to care for in the city - they don't need the space to run and you can take them everywhere! But it depends on you, really! I have a Maltese, but Yorkies, Westies, any kind of Terrier would be a great addition to you household. It really boils down to what's important to you. When I got my dog, I lived in Maine. But I knew that I wanted a dog small enough that I could take him on a plane with me, in a car, on vacation... etc. And now that we live in NYC, it's great. I can put him in my bag and go on any public transportation. I take him to every store, restaurant, bar that I go to. He's very social.
But if you are willing to hire a dog walker or walk your dog numerous times a day for long periods, then get a bigger dog. They just need a lot of exercise and the city can be hard for that. There are some really good sites for determining what kind of dog a family needs. Google it and do the research on different dog breeds - you'll find a good companion.|||I have many of my Cavaliers who do wonderfully in the City. See if you can find a breeder who litter box trains their puppies....it's been a wonderful bonus for City pups!|||Small Dogs.
Any small dog would fit! There is a problem with big dogs there because there exercise and playfulness is to high that an apartment can't handle it.
Good Luck! :)|||i have a poddle, she don't even bark,she is small a fun to be with, and poddles don't shed, but you do have to get them groomed|||Maybe it'd be best to get a small dog for your apartment

and probably one that dosn't need that much exercise
My girlfriend is originally from RI and she used to go used to travel up to new bedford and have blade meat sandwiches. It was a portuguese restaurant and we later came to find the sandwiches was cacoila.
Does anyone know where i can find cacoila in the five boroughs of nyc or north jersey? I could find a recipe online but its not the same.|||Ok from what I can understand those are a pulled pork type sandwich. . . Coming from the Oporto area of Portugal, which is where the issue is apparently most of the Portuguese places around here are based on mainland cuisine. . so those are a hard find. The biggest Portuguese population is in Newark so you may need to travel out there to find what you are looking for.
I would defenitely do your best to call ahead and just ask the chef if he makes it!

BTW: I know you say that making it at home isn't the same, but honestly if you hit up Newark's Ironbound markets and get the right type of meats and research all your ingredients and slow cook your meat to get that right pulled slow roasted texture, I have a feeling you may even shock yourself. I often find homemade to be waaayyy better. (Just a thought!)
I want to buy a cute kitten, not very expensive. I've never thought it would be so complicated to actually get a cat in NYC...I've been looking online at some NY pet adopton sites, but they only give adult cats away, and most of them look kind of sick...So where do you think I should get the kitty cat?|||this time of year its harder to find kittens - probably the adoption places have kittens but dont put them on the web because kittens go so fast and its the adults who need homes more despirately.. if you see them in person you can determine if they are sickly... usually most SPCA's have health guarantess so probably its just bad photoes....
DO NOT EVER BUY A PET FROM PET STORE.. they dont care about you or the pets just the cash.... and they over charge too!!!!
seriously get from the local shelter or SPCA these are non-profits so you get more quality than what you pay for|||The SPCA.|||SPCA, or you could contact you local vet and get their recommendation.|||your favorite chinese restaurant|||WHy do you want to buy one? There are literally millions of kittens in the country who need homes, that you can get for free. Try your local Humane Society.|||Go to the nearest ASPCA or any animal shelter and you can get them for free. Or you can just let people know you want one and you will have one is a short time. If you want a breed go on line a look for the nearest rescue shelter for that breed and they will only charge you a small amount.
In NYC, there are numerous businesses that cheat tax. For example, the 99 cent store collects $1.08 for the item. They made $6480 per month. However, they only report $3000 to IRS.
I am sure they do this because they don't have credit card machines. When I ask them why, they said that they don't want to report to the IRS for earnings.
I want to uncover their unlawful acts. What should I do? I don't have any solid evidence but if you tell me what type of evidence is needed, I can do it. A bill, a photo, anything.|||Unless you are the accountant or bookkeeper for the store you have no knowledge of what is going on and have no way to get that knowledge. What a cashier earning minimum wage tells you is meaningless. Since you have no evidence, the IRS would ignore your complaint.
Get a life and worry about yourself, not what some min-wager at a dollar store tells you. If anything dodgy is going on, the IRS will figure it out sooner or later.
FYI, most 99垄 stores don't take credit cards because of the fees and charges involved. They operate on razor thin margins and the credit card fees would eat deeply into their profit. Also, a store only bringing in $6,480 per month won't stay in business very long given the thin profit margins in that type of business.|||Unless you are their accountant you have no idea what they do or do not report to the IRS.
Credit card payments are not related to taxes at all. They just don't want to pay the commission to the credit card companies, and I can't blame them for that. I think the commission is 4%.|||if there is a suspicion of tax fraud the IRs will audit the business and go over their books. just call the IRs you don't want to be accused of tampering with evidence.|||Are you an ex-employee there?
If a company were cheating on taxes, why would they tell a random stranger that they report a lesser amount. That doesn't make sense.
If the additional 9 cents on the 99 cent item is tax, they return that to the government separately.|||send an anonymous note to the irs, giving them the details and name and address of the business and tell them to check out the place
After 8 years of teaching I need to get a job of a waitress or hostess in NYC. They require resumes for the most positions. I am afraid that my current resume with all my experience and degrees will push away more than attract a job. Would you be able to recommend anything?|||If you are not much experience... then you better to choose a focus on your education and achievements rather than a focus on your career development.
there are a lot of such sites....:
In addition, while preparing a technical resume, you need to showcase your technical skills. In case of a software engineer resume, the technical skills to be highlighted include knowledge of databases, operating systems and computer languages.

A Functional resume is meant for highlighting your strengths and positives. This type of resume is best suited for a candidate seeking career change or a job seeker having experience in diverse fields. The prime aim of functional resume is to showcase the skills relevant to the job applied for.

i live in Canada and i am planning to study in NYC but i don't know where to start what to do and where to live i just need help with the steps to get there (i already know what school i'm going to)|||You need to get a student visa: http://www.usastudentvisa.org. Your school will probably help you with this. After you submit your application and get accepted, you're set to go find an apartment.
I don't know what borough your school is in, but if it's Manhattan you probably want to live in an outer borough since Manhattan rent is horrible and especially bad since you're converting from CAD. Queens is relatively safe and the rent is okay. Brooklyn rent is probably a bit better (in some areas) but the crime is higher. There are many websites that can help you find an apartment: http://www.nycdwellers.com is one of them. There is also this service called the EHS which helps students find roomates and rooms: http://www.studenthousing.org. That is probably your safest bet, quite literally.
Good luck! New York is amazing and you'll have a great time!|||you need to go to the US consulate or embassy and apply for a student visa, once you are accepted by a school ( you apply in advance) you will likely be issued a visa to study, ( and sometimes work while studying) in the USA.
I'm a single woman going to NYC I need to know what are the safest neighborhoods where rent isn't extremely crazy. I realize that this is one the most expensive and high crime cities in the country but I'm self employed so I'm not looking for a penthouse just my own place no matter how small as long as it's in a safe area. I would like the Bronx but it doesnt have to be there.|||http://nymag.com/realestate/neighborhood鈥?/a>|||My family lives in the throgs neck area, right near the bridge. Its a nice Italian area.

Delta also works with hotels.com|||i use orbitz.com|||I would look on Travelocity.com|||It depends on where you're flying from. Try AirTran Airway
Frontier Airlines
JetBlue Airways
Skybus Airlines
Southwest Airlines
Spirit Airlines
Sun Country Airlines
Then go to priceline.com and go to name your own price. Choose all areas, and go to 1 or 2 star hotels. Put in $125 and hopefully you will get something...this is a very popular time and you will be lucky to find something. However this is the cheapest way to go.
Good luck!|||Go to http://www.grab2travel.com

Try "SmartSearch" - Enter your trip detail once and compare all major travel sites from one place without entering same trip information again and again ! I liked it... worth to bookmak !
I want to fly from California to Toronto...go see Niagara Falls...then go to NewYork City and then back to California. What is the best way to get from Niagara Falls in Canada to NYC? I don't want to rent a car. I think it would be nice to somehow take a bus or greyhound or something so we could see things on the way to nyc. any good tips or good places i should think about going?|||rent a car if you can, the bus is long and boring trip. by car you can stop and see things, eat go to the bathroom etc. I've driven to NYC and it is a GORGEOUS drive. (I would recommend heading to boston for a day or two then to NYC (only about 2 hours apart).
While in the falls you shouold head to niagara on the lake as well. Gorgeous town (20 minutes from the falls). Plenty to do, winery tours, seeing fort george is a msut and some great shopping|||Just look around and have fun I guess =)
My wife doesn't feel secure in her english writing and speech. I'm trying to find a good place for her to go in nyc. She is originally from puerto rico but lives in Ny now for over 10 years. She speaks fluently, reads and writes english but she still feels unsecure and wants to learn more. Any suggestions of a place that won't teach her like its the 1st time learning English.|||Any community college.
She could take foundation composition courses.
And, maybe a few public speaking electives.
Lots of the schools in NYC also have a Continuing Education department who could point you in the right direction for night and weekend classes.
For Christmas, I am surprising my boyfriend with a trip to NYC which we will take in February, and he has not ever been. I have been once and saw all of the tourist-type things like the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, Central Park and those sort of things...
We will only be there the weekend, so I would like to do some unforgettable things, some hole-in-the-wall things, and some beautiful things.
We love music, we are both vegetarian, we love contemporary art, and I love to shop...;)
What do you suggest?|||When I go to New York, I ty to stay in the Times Square area because there kis so much to do. I try to take in a broadway show (there are many shows as well as the David Letterman taping on 54th street that you could attend). You might try a horse and carriage ride through Central park (which is close by). Rockefeller Center is close by - the Empire sate Building and Madison Square Garden are also with about 1 mile walk or a short cab ride away. If your boyfriend likes sports, you'll have the Rangers and Knicks at MSG.|||Go Ice Skating. There are many rinks through-out Manhattan (Central Park, Bryant Park, Rockefeller Center).
If $ isn't an issue, go on a horse carriage ride in Central Park. It's so romantic!
Me and a few friends are planning a trip to nyc in sept. but we'd prefer not to stay in an over priced hotel and chill in the city like local new yorkers.

As a heads up, there are a lot of brokers/agency's trying to rent out vacation rentals in NY. That being said there is nothing wrong with using a broker or agent just be weary of who you use. The rule of thumb i tell all my guest (I live in New York) that if its too good to be true don't fall for it. Most places that rent vacation rentals in NY will accept credit cards, and I suggesting using one just in case you get there and the place doesn't exist (be ware people are running scams all the time). I suggest doing your due diligence and rent from someone who sounds honest, and willing to give you information such as a local phone number (local numbers include area codes 718, 212, 646, 347, 516, 631), a local address where you can meet to do the exchange. Avoid writing checks out to CASH.|||vrbo.com is your best bet|||vrbo.com
I'm obsessed :)
I will be visiting NYC in June with a party of 4 people. Which neighbourhood is safe yet central to attractions?
Many Thanks!|||Midtown Manhattan is where you need to be to be pretty central to all of the attractions. You can use the subways also to get to attractions quicker. Just invest in a pass for however many days you need it. You can get an unlimited pass for $27pp for 7 days, or alternatively you can buy a metro card that you can top up whenever you need to. Subway prices are usually $2 per ride.
As for the apartment thing, do you mean to rent out an apartment or stay in a hotel/apart-hotel. If its the first it will be quite hard to find something as prices are sky high. If its the second I would definitely recommend the 'Wellington Hotel' on 7th Avenue 56th Street. I've just got back from there today/yesterday and it is great for location! Only 1-2 minutes walk to central park, 5 minutes to times square (you can see times square from the hotel). As for the other attractions such as Rockefeller, Empire State, Macy's, NBC Studios, etc, they are all within easy walking distance.
To see the statue of liberty you would need to get a subway, taxi or bus to get to the staten island ferry. The staten Island ferry is free and you get to cruise by ellis island and the statue of liberty, as well as getting the chance to stop off on Staten Island (you don't have to of course).
I was quite scared to use the subways but I found that they were pretty safe. Even at night time they were great. However, saying this I only used the subway at the latest 7.30pm. I imagine if you leave it later than 8.30 it may start to feel unsafe. But overall New York seemed safe. I've been told not to go to the Bronx and some places in Harlem because there are supposed to be gangs, so I never went up there.
I hope you have a wonderful time and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask! =)|||Midtown is very safe and populated at all hours, and located close to many New York City attractions such as lower central park, times square, rockefeller center, 34th street shopping district, and many high end shops on Fifth ave. There are plenty of things to do in Midtown manhattan. Have fun

Noisy neighbor horror stories
Parking hassles
I heard the qualify of life is horrible and everything is overpriced.
If you live in NYC, which borough? And how did you manage to find a
quiet apartment? And how did you manage to park your car easily?|||Nope. California is far worse. We deal with strange wannabe "artsy" unwashed people, heavy traffic, utterly horrendous street planning, and the worst state government imaginable.|||NYC is not annoying if you are a city person. Tourist traps, such as Time Square, tend to be filled with annoying people from all over the world. Those are annoying places to be. Manhattan is hard to find parking unless you would like to pay crazy prices. If youre looking for a quieter place out of all the burroughs I would probably suggest looking in Queens. See, a place I would find annoying to live is like Kentucky or Wisconson. If youre a lively person NYC would be great for you!|||What is the qualify of life? Who writes like this? Midwesterners?|||Perhaps you are just not cut out for life here, but that doesn't make NYC annoying.
There are many quiet parts of town. Not all neighbors re noisy.
Having a car isn't everything. not having a car can be very liberating in a city that has good mass transit. Many New Yorkers feel blessed at NOT having to own a car.
While things are expensive here, we also get paid commensurately more.
Look, you don't HAVE to live here. Live in some plain vanilla suburb in the sun belt, if you want cars and quiet. No one is stopping you.
But just because you don't have what it takes to live here doesn't give you leave to insult us!
EDIT: I see you've blocked me from one viewing one of your questions posted under another screen name. Did you block Yawker, too, since he's onto your duplicitous as well?|||ENOUGH ALREADY!!
How compulsively dense can one person be, that they use multiple Yahoo accounts to repeatedly ask the same questions and make the same accusations over and over again? You're not only incapable of comprehension, you appear obsessed.
Parking hassles, quiet apartments, noisy neighbors, boroughs, boroughs, boroughs.
If NYC is so annoying, then why do you want to move here? Why claim that you are moving here in your other questions?? Do you really think that nobody will notice??

If he's willing to risk traffic jams and a somewhat long drive (because then Manhattan streets will also be crowded with traffic jams and then you need to find a parking space which is hopeless so you might as well pay lots of money for a parking garage), then that's fine.|||Fairfield

I am taking my 2 daughters to NYC in June. We are looking for the "cheapest" place to stay in a safe neighborhood.|||I think most Hostels accept children, as long as they are accompanied by a parent. Hostels are cheap hotels for world travelers. Hostelworld.com will pull up hostels and you can also view hotels.
AirBnB.com is a GREAT site for renting peoples apartments for the weekend/week. That is great because it's more homey and usually they are a lot cheaper than a hotel.
Regarding safe neighborhoods...Manhattan is pretty much safe all over now as long as you stay below 110th Street. South Brooklyn is very safe and close to Manhattan as well (Williamsburg, Park Slope, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights). The days of old scary NYC are gone and it's all pretty sanitized and family friendly now.
I would try airbnb.com. Good luck and have fun!!|||The West Village is not rough at all. It's actually one of the most expensive zip codes in the city.

How much money should I carry with me while visiting NYC for sight seeing for 2 persons?what precautions should I take when I take my money out of wallet?|||It really depends on which sight seeing you're going to... depending on the sight seeing buses alone might cost you over $50.00 each for the tour.. If you're just checking out the sites in New York, you can get an unlimited day metrocard for about $7 dollars or $7.50 each. If you would like to go check out the statue of liberty, that may cost you about $15 to $20 each. All the other sites like 5th avenue, Soho, Central Park, Rockefeller, battery park, etc are pretty much free unless you buy things on your own. Most museums are fairly affordable as well and it won鈥檛 cost you a forture..
As for meals, most meals are fairly expensive but depending on where you go, you can find a nice meal for a decent price. For example, if you鈥檙e on a budget, you can get lunch for 2 for $10 at Chinatown or the Lower East Side.. if you want a nice sit down dinner on the west side, you can run you up to $20 each. It really depends on where you go and what you want to do. For the money, if you鈥檙e in manhattan, for the most part, you do not have to worry about your wallet when you take it out.. No one will rob you in broad daylight and it鈥檚 pretty much very safe in Manhattan.|||It totally depends on your budget and what you want to see
http://www.citysightsny.com/ is a cheap tour bus that has all inclusive plans adults are 80 bucks each and cover alot.
There is much to see free here though, and if you don't want the tour but would like to cruise past the statue of liberty, hop on the staten island ferry, it's free-on the island you can go to the old mariners home, a beautiful free park! For more upscale you can take a limo tour rates are surprisingly low for limos here!
As far as your money goes, Manhattan is very safe now days but use normal precautions! Don't carry around designer bags or look super rich when you are walking around unknown places, keep part of your money put away in your front pocket, and leave maybe 100 in your wallet, and a couple of 5's in your other pocket to buy things from the street vendors. Never buy anything like purses or watches in the park or street on Chinatown's are all fakes!

They share one thing for sure...who in their right minds would live there outside of the Prime Pillagers? Masochists perhaps?
And if there was no such thing as a masochist I wonder what would happen to the pillagers. Would they go green and homestead lol?
Clueless and homeless in the land of the free.|||The average rent in NYC is about 1500 for a studio apt not including utilities and its home to some of the biggest corporations, so id say there are many ppl who make above average income. There are poor people everywhere, not just in the city. Ever heard of the people in the Apalachian mountains? Go read a book.
There are also many CLEAN city areas and suburbs in NY. Again go read a book.
NYC is different in the sense it is a huge melting pot, has alot of culture and history, and truly never sleeps!|||NYC has no wall marts. That should tell you something.|||They don't call NYC the "Capital of the World" , "The City that Never Sleeps" or the "Big Apple" for nothing. Born and raised in Manhattan and now living in Northern NJ. I have come to realize all that I took for granted while living in NYC.

It is clean (although a humid summer day may kick up the grime), As you can see the morning after they drop the New Years Ball in Times Square. The department of sanitation is all over it!
New Yorkers may be to the point and straightforward, no bull... they are in fact very friendly.
Although I love Philly, Philadelphia is having a major problem with crime and safety.
Every city has crime, but New York has really pulled itself up to be a wonderful place to live or visit.|||haha, no
NYC is not anything like philly
i've only been to philly twice but when i was there it was reallll clean, uncrowded, no skyscrapers, people were nicer & it was just two completely different places.|||NYC is not bronx qeens and parts of brooklyn When you say NYC you mean MANHATTEN. and i can GUARENTEE you that people who live in MANHATTEN do NOT have below income salaries. If anything they're filthy rich. Parts of Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn, yes ofcourse. That's because it's mostly for hispanicas and blacks that have the small income. Whites are the rich ones mainly, in NY's 5 boroughs. I live in Brooklyn NY and i love NYC it's the best city to live in in the WORLD.|||NO. Philly is tiny compared to New York.
AND FYI, while there are low income people here, Manhattan has lots of extremely RICH; people living here as do parts of Queens and Brooklyn, Staten is pretty much all middle class and upper middle class.
New York is unique in THE WORLD. We have people from more different countries than any other city. Financial, Publishing and Arts and Entertainment Center.
You don't know squat about NYC. I would say come visit and find out for yourself but I suspect you would better off staying on the farm.|||Boston, Washington, and Chicago are fairly similar to New York. They have dense urban centers, large mass transit systems, and a real sense of different neighborhoods within the cities each with their own character. I don't know Philadelphia well enough to make a judgment. Most US cities have only a small downtown, suburbs, and inner-city areas - rather than a large mix of neighborhoods within the city. Most US cities have minimal mass transit, a downtown that empties out after the workday ends, and few high or middle-income people living within the city itself.|||NYC is a different world from the rest of the USA, definitely. Philly has more bad neighborhoods, and alot of historical stuff, not to say that NYC doesn't. But NYC is bigger, louder, more of a sensory overload of moving screens, advirtisements, people handing out papers advertising plays and stuff. Assuming that when you say NYC, you are referring to the borough of Manhatten. There are five boroughs, Manhatten, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, The Bronx. NYC really is huge. Connected by a bunch of bridges. Philadelphia is a city in the state of Pennsylvania. Both have alot of cultures and people from all over, but geographically, they are really different. Philly's not an island, NYC is...okay, sorry if this is too long!|||I like both places But NYC just is so full of life and such a huge mix of things and places to go. Yes they both have big buildings but NYC is just so much fun I love Little Italy, Fashion District, o I could go on forever.|||Well you have to look at it in terms of ratios. Since there are more people here: millions compared to other cities/suburbian towns obviously there will be more poor. But also there are more RICHER people here. You'll see cars that you won't see in other cities here: my neighbor owns a lamborghini. porsches are common. Philadelphia is UGLY NASTY DIRTY compared to NYC. You have to go to midmanhattan where classy people like me are.|||No NYC thinks that they are different from the rest of the world. Last time I checked they had people just like everyone else.
Don't let Philadelphians know you compare them those damn Yorkers.
NYC Subway system was operated by several different companies at one point, and now they are all operated by the MTA.|||On June 15, 1953, the New York State Legislature created the New York City Transit Authority (now MTA New York City Transit) as a separate public corporation to manage and operate all city-owned bus, trolley, and subway routes.
Is rent controlled apartments in NYC subject to your salary level.
Is there a cut off limit on what your salary is?
Finally,with all the scams going around ,what is the most SAFE and efficient way to look for a rent controlled apartment in NYC?|||Rent Controlled apartments are being phased out. The only way to have a rent controlled apartment is to already be living in one for many years. If you are single and have always lived with your mother or parents who were the original renters in a rent controlled apartment then you can stay until you die if you get married then the apartment dies with you and your wife will have to leave.
There are still a few rent stabilized apartments left but they are fast disappearing as many apartment buildings have been converted to co-ops where the apartment dweller buys shares in the co-op and technically owns the apartment and can sell it if he/she desire to move.
There is a thing known as Section 8 housing where if your income is low then you can be accepted into the Section 8 program and be given a voucher to give to a landlord. The voucher says that the Government will pay a portion of your rent and you will pay 30 percent of the rent based on your income. If your income goes to high then you will not be eligible any longer on that program and then you will have to pay the full rent. Usually these Section 8 apartments are generally in areas that are not "too safe".
The following link will explain to you in great detail the History and current status of "Rent Controlled Apartments in New York City
Here is the link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent_contro鈥?/a>
Also if you read through the information in the above link you will find out about the history and rules of Rent Stabilization also.
I hope that this information and the corresponding website link will help you in finding out what you want to know.|||Rent *control* is only available in NYC if your family has inhabited the same apartment since 1971, so if you have to ask, that's not you.
What you may be looking for is rent stabilization, a system that allows rent to increase only a specified percentage each year. It's restricted to certain buildings, and you're not eligible if your household income exceeds $175,000 per year.
Look on Craigslist for rent stabilized apartments; you'll find tons of listings. But bear in mind that rent stabilization provides a disincentive for the landlord to maintain a building, AND an incentive to get you out (as replacing a tenant is an opportunity to raise rent under the stabilization program). These days there are many apartments shown through a broker but without a broker fee, so after you settle on a neighborhood of interest you may be able to locate a brokerage office that has some rent-stabilized listings and enlist their help finding a workable apartment.
Rating-wise, both make the top of the charts, yet some people will say "not to take your foodie friends from Europe" to a top NYC restaurant because they will scoff at what it is "lacking." Is this true? Or is this just a case of personal bias? How might you compare the experience at, say, Pierre Gagnaire or Mugaritz vs Per Se or Jean Georges or Daniel?|||The atmosphere is completely different in NYC than in Europe. I mean I doubt they would say anything, but they might think it.|||it's all about your POV so many ppl walk in with their opinions already made. I have dined at great restaurants in Europe only in Spain. I LOVE Spanish food.

I would like to get an industrial sewing machine. My home machine cannot take the workload anymore. I'm looking for places in NYC that I can actually go to and get a demonstration on the machines.
Any links would be appreciated. Thanks!|||Well it depends on what type of work you are wanting to do. My dad and his dad have been in the industrial sewing machine business all their life...and I'm in it as well. I'm actually in the manufacturing side now as a mechanic, but my dad still travels and sales. Penn Sew should be pretty close and they are very experienced with industrial sewing. I know most of the big name dealers and them and there maaayyy be a Pfaff/Pegasus office close up there.

I'm looking for one Platt H. Skinner who died in 1866 at 44 and may have been in NYC from 1847-1855.|||Try researching it on there website or contact some experts. There would be a local or international history expert on this matter.|||There is very little in the way of information on this man. After months of researching, I've come up with so many conflicting sources and so much conflicting evidence that it is nearly impossible to discern the truth. Still, much of it is interesting. Trust me, I'm about as much of an expert as any Report Abuse

I have heard its quite a heavy amount and what is their method of generation? Third rail traction needs a lot of substations so what's the average distance between two in NYC subway? Around a mile apart?|||"Today, the NYC Subway is the city鈥檚 largest user of electricity. AC operates signals, station and tunnel lighting, ventilation and miscellaneous line equipment, while DC operates trains and such auxiliary equipment as water pumps and emergency lighting. The system鈥檚 215 electric substations receive high- and low-voltage power from the New York Power Authority, at voltages as high as 27kV AC, prior to transforming it for use within the system. The subway's third rail requires 625 volts DC for operating the trains. Power is distributed throughout the system via 2,500 miles of cable, which passes beneath 7,651 manholes located throughout the city. The power required to operate the subway system during peak hours is about 500 MW. And at 1.8 billion kilowatt hours, the subway鈥檚 annual power consumption equals that of the city of Buffalo, New York."
"Longest between-station stretch: 3.5 miles on the A train between Howard Beach/JFK Airport and Broad Channel stations (Queens). "|||the subway uses in one year about the same as the city of Buffalo. It's currently drawn from the municipal power grid. mile is way too litle in some cases, it depends on the density of the lines in the area.

I have already applied to malls and brand name stores.

I go to a private high school in NYC and am interested in a museum internship for my senior year, but many museums only offer these programs to public school students. Why is this, and what museums don't have this policy?|||There are over 1 million public school students in NYC. /Private schools have many fewer students. People perceive the public schools as failing and therefore take efforts to improve them in various ways.|||My guess is that the internships get federal or state money for accepting those interns, and federal or state money funds the public schools, not private.

I have to add, though, that all he did was place several tiny bags of mouse bait (DeCon?) at strategic places around the house...I could have done the same thing for alot less, but it did take care of the mouse problem. You might want to try treating the problem yourself, just make sure you put the baits in locations that your parrots can no way get to them if you ever turn them loose in your apt.

If these options are too expensive, the only alternative is to board the dog while you're gone or have someone stay at your house to take care of him. And, the cost of boarding the dog every day is probably more than the daily cost of renting a car.
I currently live in Texas and will graduate in May from Texas A&M with a degree in Electronics Engineering Technology (like Electrical Engineering but more application oriented rather than theory). My wife and I would like to move to NYC. I'm starting to look for a job. What is the best way to find and get an electrical engineering job? Interviewing would be a different process without face to face communication. I'd be looking at $50K-$70K starting salary.|||I would recommend doing some research online to find some companies in NYC. Try looking at their online websites to see if they have anything on Careers or a place to send resumes.
You can also just visit job search websites, but you may also want to try a program that I use. It is called the JobFinder and you can see more here - http://www.motiont.com (just click on the JobFinder). It searches hundreds of job sites at once so you don't have to. Just plug in a few engineering phrases in with a NYC zip code and see what you get.
i am trying to surprise my boyfriend with a horse carriage ride, i live nyc.. i know they do these around central park. I can not seem to get in contact with any one with the numbers on the website. please help!!!!!!. Our annivesary is on the 23 of december and would like to reserve well in advance.|||You dont reserve a horse carriage ride...Just go to 59th street and CPW you pick which one you want...they are on a first come first serve basis....Enjoy they are romantic but the ride goes fast!!!|||that's right! I have never ever heard of reserving a carriage is possible. But yes there will be plenty there... it usually costs $50 a ride.It will be very romantic. Maybe you scape for a few minutes and ask one of the carriage to wait for you and your boyfriend at your hotel or somewhere, but it will definitely cost you.
Have fun!|||YOU DONT NEED TO RESERVE THEM!!!! go to 59th and CPW and they will be there if uyr going at night i suggeest you take a blanket|||There are always carriages available there and depending on the route the costs vary. You can always get there early and get one of the drivers to meet you with flowers or something but the rides are not that long so there will aways be another carriage coming 'round the bend. They have blankets to keep you warm but not the cleanest thing in history.
Have Fun!

Honolulu is so much closer, yet flights are cheaper from NYC to Tokyo. Does this have to do with the size of the Honolulu airport? It seems kind of weird to me.|||I'm sure it has a lot to do with supply and demand.
NYC has 3 large airports and plenty of flights, mostly American tourists, and business travelers.
HNL is a small airport, and it's a HUGE vacation destination for Japanese people (it's dirt cheap to them). The cheap seats sell out FAST.|||Actually, when I searched on Expedia, the cheapest flights were about the same price, around $1100-1200, from both departure points.|||More likely depending on the airline your looking at it probably has to do with how well they fill the seats for those flights.
See if you can fly an airline the caters to people flying to Honolulu.|||Hi
Because air travel taxes you would get a cheaper flight,Because the airport is a more international the taxes are less but because the airport Honolulu in less noticed and smaller the government will charge you more to go with them.
Hope this helps

If the chances are low, what are the chances for any tropical storm to hit nyc this year?|||For Fay, the chances are very unlikely. It's definitely hitting South Florida. If it does it would already weaken because it'd be over land already and we'd only get a little wind and very heavy rain. The chances for any hurricane hitting NYC this year are very likely. We're predicted to get hit by a major hurricane (Category 3 or more) every 70 years and 2008 marks the 70th anniversary of the Great New England Hurricane of 1938 which was our last major hurricane. Right now, there's a tropical wave near Cape Verde that might develop next week and that's where most of our hurricanes come from. We usually get hurricanes in August and September so now is a good time to prepare.|||Is this question retarded or is it just me? Report Abuse
|||the chances of it hitting you guys in NYC is very low, but you should still keep wacth on it. you might want to keep an eye on that wave too! so for all those people in florida, its not going to be to bad, i've stayed home in two category 4 hurricanes that directly hit the atlantic coast, so i am staying home and enjoying my day off of tuesday and Wednesday for school, if it dose not go into alabama! so florida people, the news is not updated as much as torpical storm fay websites! hope i helped! |||Not going to happen, the storm will die down into just a regular rain storm if it does make it there. It's hitting us in South Florida.
The worst thing about this storm is that NO ONE is taking it seriously not even the weather forecasters. If this was 3 years ago, everyone would be in panic mode and getting prepared.
I predict it's going to stall just as it passes Cuba and will gather momentum by the Keys and then it'll set off as a Category 1 and build up crossing Florida from Naples and coming up to Daytona with Palm Beach, Broward and Dade Counties getting the worst of the winds..
Just my thoughts. Now go buy some water and canned food people!!!|||I can only answer your first question... however I'm hoping you have the answer by now. It is definitely not going to be heading towards New York! Right now the forecast is straight towards florida, with a possibility to stay out in the gulf, hitting other states.
|||It's not very likely. It's hitting down here in South Florida. By the time it reaches NYC it will either be a regular rain storm or will be gone completely. Land tears it down. Water builds it up.

Please don't quote department of labor and statistics. I don't think $30k (and that's a higher-end) a year will cut it in NYC, am I wrong?
And thank you in advance for your responses.|||Maybe $8 an hour.
30k in NYC isn't possible unless you have 4 roomates in a 1 bedroom apartment. Rent in Manhattan for a small studio apartment is usually no less than $1600 a month and you couldn't afford that on $30k a year. You would have to live in NJ or outer borroughs and commute 1 hours everyday to/from work.
Living meagarily, you'd need:
$1600 rent
$300 utilities
$100 phone/internet
$50 transit (public only, no taxis)
$200 food (no eating out)
$50 entertainment
$70 necessities
+ Misc. expenses

Once in Trenton, transfer to NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor Line, which will take you from the Trenton to Penn Station in NYC.

I am shopping for a diamond engagement ring and I was wondering if you know any stores in NYC' s Diamond District. I did my homework with the Four C's and set up a budget and have an idea what she would like so I just need a reputable place to buy the ring.
Thanks!|||NYC's Diamond District gets a bad rap because a while back few greedy companies showed up on TV trying to cheat shoppers.
I personally know few people who has been working on this street for over twenty years. These are the honest people who have to fight with this bad rap because few bad apples tried to make fast money.
What I suggest is, if you already done your homework and you know exactly what you want, by getting a diamond with a certificate from a reputable gemological institute then all you have to do is shop and compare the diamond prices and then decide on a ring. You can get an easy idea on the diamond market and prices by shopping few online stores then when you walk in to a store you know what to expect and you can easily negotiate at these stores because of the sheer competition they face on the street. Just make sure to compare apples to apples ( which will be easy with an official diamond certificate).
In terms of actual stores, I can recommend a store where my best friend purchased his wife's ring with a GIA certified diamond set in a Verragio mounting at Shenoa Diamond at 1 West 47th Street. You can't miss it, it's the largest individual store on 47th Street. They were very nice to him there and they gave a fair price.

I first visited NYC at 13 on a trip from my home in the UK, and since then I've been dying to get back there. Now I'm finally earning my own wageand I'm thinking of both a little escapism from troubles at home and fulfilling a 6 year long urge to revisit. So my first of many questions that are probably to come would be how much money (in any form - cash/travellers cheque) would cover me for a fortnight in the city? Ideally I'd like to stay on Manhattan for familiarity but I think its going to be a little difficult on budget so if location is something to factor in could anyone give me a basic range of both? Cheers guys!|||OK -
I'm going to make an assumption that you have saved up some money, and that you live in a middle class lifestyle. But I'll also assume that you're going to travel alone, and do not want to stay in a hostel....
First, let's assume that you find a bargain room on Manhattan Island. The cheapest I've heard of acceptable places to stay costing is $200/night. (And I'd expect to spend more in the central tourist districts.)
Second, I'll spend a little more money on food than Rachel Ray does, and assume you'll spend around $50/day there.
Third, tourist attractions in NYC add up to a lot of money. But it makes more sense to visit the neighborhoods (such as Greenwich Village, Chinatown, and even Brooklyn Heights) on some days, walking around and exploring. So I'll budget another $40/day there.
Fourth, I'll budget $10/day for mass transit. (You'll want to look up the price of MTA's weekly passes - that will save you some serious money, and make things more convenient for you.)
So far, I believe that we've budgeted $300/day - $4,200 for two weeks. That number can go up quite a bit if you buy a lot of expensive Tchotchkes (a New York word that few spell right, but almost everyone knows). You'll also note that I have not included any money for "Broadway" shows, or concerts - New York prices for theater and musical perfoemances are some of the highest in the world, and London (from what I've been told) in this area may be a bargain in compatison.
There are some very good ways to cut my cost figures and make NYC an affordable trip. First, find someone to share the lodging with. That'll cut your major cost in half. Next, do not eat in the touristy areas of town. Instead, go into an ethnic neighborhood - Flushing has a large Asian community, and you can eat well for a small amount of money. If you want Italian food, stay away from Manhattan's "Little Italy" and go up to Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. But ask around for ideas - most New Yorkers have good ideas of where to eat cheap and well.... (Be careful of people who equate quantity of food with the quality of food.)
If you can find a way to stay in a good hotel in the outer boroughs near a subway station, you might be able to save some big money. But, being a New Yorker, I'd be very leery of telling someone coming to New York on their first time as an adult, to stay in the outer boroughs before exploring them on a first visit.... The quality varies too much to take a chance. (Read all the reviews you can from the major sites - and try to avoid places with an AAA rating of less than 2 diamonds.)
Good Luck!!!!|||For a 2 week visit, a hotel stay would be pricey.
I'd recommend checking out Craigslist for a temporary sublet.
http://newyork.craigslist.org/sub/|||Hi I would recommend that take a combination of Travelers cheques (go to the travelers express shop and you can now get it in a Debit/Cash card form)/UK Debit/Cash Card & about $100 cash (since you will need some spare cash when you first arrive in the USA)..
Two weeks depending if you are doing shopping i would say 500 pounds (spending money) since the NYC is pretty cheap however I would recommend that you do your shopping in brocklyn its cheaper and more options.
Also book you accomodation from the uk it will work out better.
Oh Shopping wise go to a place called century 21!|||you can spend anywhere from $99 to thousands for a hotel room in NYC and the average price is around $450 --
So you are looking at at least $2300 or so for two weeks and then you are not eating too well and staying at a not so good hotel......
You don't need traveler's checks just use ATM's
There is the consolation that the pound is very strong against the dollar at the moment -- but New York IS NOT cheap if you want to take advantage of the great restaurants, musuems and entertainment --

If it is a position where he makes the commute and does the job without issue, then normally legally they cannot have that requirement.
However, there are certain positions where this is legal depending on the duties of the job, response times needed, territories, etc.|||You probably have to live someplace where you can respond within a certain amount of time. It's probably not that they can dictate where you live, but the demands of the job and responding to emergencies may limit you to the distance you can live away from the "office".|||If he's working for the city in a job that requires him to live in the five boroughs, then no, he can't live in NJ and keep the job.
Many cities and school districts have a residence requirement for their employees.
I am trying to find how much someone paid for a single family residence in NYC back in the 70's and I don't know exactly where to look. I check the property tax assessor website and could not find that information, is that information available?|||Some tax assessors have that information available and some do not. You can contact a realtor that has access to the MLS system, and there you can find any information for previous sales that were listed on MLS. Unfortunately if the home was sold by owner, it may be almost impossible to find the information. You could check the county property records and look for where deeds/titles were recorded. If a loan was taken out for the property then you would be able to find the note through property records searches. It may take a trip to the courthouse though depending on where you live.

Will be visiting NYC in April. I was wondering what Broadway shows you might suggest we go to? Have seen Hairspray, 42nd Street, Lion King, Chicago a couple of more I can't remember.|||See a real show, not a Disneyesqe tourist trap.
Go to see The Farnsworth Invention.|||If your group does not include kids, then I highly recommend Young Frankenstein. Non-stop laughteer the entire show.|||Mamma Mia or Wicked all the way (but if u have kids go with the Lion King), Hairspray was AMAZING and so was Chicago (i would pay a million bucks to c it again!)|||Wicked is a great show, for both younger and older audiences.
In the Heights is great - it just moved to Broadway (from off-Broadway) and everyone loves it - I've seen it three times!
If you have kids - Mary Poppins and Little Mermaid might be good.
* Spring Awakening - the original cast is gone, but it is still very good
* A Chorus Line is really good
* Avenue Q is super funny, but really geared towards adults,
* Legally Blonde - better than you think it will be
* Spam-a-lot - super funny and great music
For plays - August Osage County is AMAZING!! The best play on Broadway (or off) right now.|||I am going to NYC again in 3 weeks and I was looking at plays too. I have decided against Legally Blonde after seeing the MTV version they taped live from Broadway. I couldn't keep watching it. I thought it was horrible. I had also thought Xanadu might be good, but after seeing a portion of it on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade - it was just awful - that made my decision (plus the reviews I've read since weren't favorable either).|||I recommend Avenue Q, also Jersey Boys & Spamalot, also not sure if its still playing, but The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
hi,
off to nyc on tuesday and just wondered if the midseason sales have started or if anyone knows when they start?

Enjoy!|||Well they was a lot of sales on a couple of weeks ago when i was there so i presume more shops will have them by now!
I am a girl and I will be moving to NYC from San Diego by junior year.|||Well, except for a few "specialty" schools that you have to apply to get into (and that's very hard to do), all the other Public Schools in New York City are assigned by district (see link, below), so, which school you go to will mostly be determined by where you LIVE, not by where you WANT to go, sorry.

This is a very broad question and I would appreciate it if anyone can help me.
I'm currently unemployed and I decided to get a list of the companies that vacant some of the well-known NYC buildings, such as the Citigroup building, GE building, and MetLife building to name a few. I been on google and tried to find an answer but I'm getting nothing. Is there a way I can obtain information, like a directoy of the different companies located in these buildings, through a website?
Thanks. I want to use this information to check out the company's history and current career opportunities. I majored in business if that will help.|||Get a Haines directory, usually they have them at the public library.

We might be moving for my work to NYC. We are looking for a safe place, larger rooms and parking. So far we are seriously considering Bayonne, Secaucus, Hoboken and Jersey City.|||Well, the area along Route 4 on the New Jersey side of the George Washington Bridge is much nicer than the areas you mention, towns like Fort Lee, Englewood, Teaneck, River Edge, Paramus, etc., and it's an easy commute from there into New York City, too, so check it out at the link, below.
Good luck!... :-D|||Forget about Hoboken and Jersey City for parking. If you have kids look in Bergen Cty , the towns with public schools that I like are Tenafly, Ft Lee, Englewood Cliffs (elementary school only). (not Englewood) Leonia, Ridgefield, Bogota, Teaneck. Commute by bus from these towns is around 30 mins to an hour , unless the traffic is bad. If you don't need a school system I would look at Weehawken, North Bergen, Union city, try to get an apt that includes parking.
Good Luck|||Secaucus--easy to catch a bus into the city and it still has it own neighborhood feel.
I'm helping my son look for a room or roommate in NYC while he does an internship in the Bronx this summer. I've seen many advertisements for rooms, but, need to know which neighborhood will be safest for him. A neighborhood outside of the Bronx with an easy commute to work will also work for him.|||The Bronx, although having a bad reputation, can be seedy depending on where you are. I have lived in Riverdale and I'm pretty sure that is one of the nicest, although more expensive, neighborhoods in the Bronx. It is in the north western most part of the Bronx, so commuting might be a little problematic. Marble Hill, although sometimes considered Manhattan, is another neighborhood that is nice and good location wise. If the Bronx isn't cutting it, Washington Heights, upper UPPER Manhattan, is a neighborhood that is close to the Bronx, up and coming, and still cheap.|||New York is one of the safest cities in the country, it's THE safest big city. Unless he's a complete dunce (I'm assuming he's not) then you really don't have anything to worry about, and neither does he.|||Riverdale is the best area of the Bronx. Here is a link to a website for hostels.
http://www.hostelworld.com/index.php?aff鈥?/a>|||The upper part of the Bronx is the safest. Riverdale (though boring as hell) Co-Op city isn't too bad. I live near the Gunhill section. A lot of Caribbean people live over here and it's very residential. It's so quiet over here compared to the rest of the Bronx. (Unless you like Reggae in the summer) Pelham Parkway is a nice area. The commute is okay but the further up you go the longer (and more difficult) it is to travel.
Opening up a new real estate company what do you recommend I do to find qualified people in nyc to work for my agency ?
are there headhunters for this type of thing?|||If you have to ask this question I'd think twice about going into business for yourself.|||Head hunters generally work on a more generic title. For instance: Sales... and real estate sales is a biggie in many sales peoples back ground. Are you new to NYC? Work your contacts, if you have none, open your date book and start building a network.
Unfortunatly, there is always the ugly way to do this type of thing... manufacture your identity, visit other agencies and mine the gold out of those offices.
By asking the question, I can't imagine that you have much experience with this and therefore hope you have deep pockets to cover the oops! and yikes! that are inevitable while you are in this learning curve. For your sake, I hope it's a steep and fast one and that you are a fast learner.

Okay first of all me and my fianc茅 will be making 200,000 a year, give or take a little. We hears that to find out your budget a month for an apartment, you just divide your salary by 40. What kind of apartment can we get in Manhattan with 5,000 a month? Also what is a good borough to buy a house in with that amount? Also, how is the need for pharmacists in NYC?|||Can't buy (unless you have downpayment saved or wanna live in the ghetto) but can rent very well. I recommend Manhattan.|||With the budget of $200,000 i'm not sure you could buy a house in any of the boroughs. I mean, you could buy a tiny 2 bed room in need of a lot of renovation in a dodgy neighbour hood I suppose, but any decent home in a safe neighbour hood is gonna cost you 400K at least. As for what kind of apt $5000 will get you in manhattan, I'll assume mid town, you could get a really decent 1 bed room in a clean building with doorman and other basic amenities etc for sure.
I have a trip planned we are going to be in NYC for 4 full days and one of those days is pretty booked up already. Will the remaining days give us enough time? On day we have a play to attend at 8:00 but we could be tourists before that. What do you think?|||3 days is more than enough

Hi Folks,
I plan on moving to NYC in May with my partner. We would like to rent a 2-bed room place in Manhattan (below 34th St). Besides the obvious expenses, such as brokers' fee, deposit, monthly rent and electricity/gas, what are the other expenses we need to be aware of, so we can budget wisely? Thank you.|||If you can afford a 2 bedroom as a newcomer to this city and living in Manhattan I don't think you'll have to worry about budgeting--you must be doing fine.
In all seriousness though, there really isn't anything that you would have to specifically budget for here that you wouldn't have to in any other city.
Good luck and welcome.|||Food costs more. Drinks cost more. Movies cost more. Restaurants cost more. Etc.|||Taxes are wack.|||I don't know if you are just referring to moving expenses or daily living expenses but here are other items to consider overall:
-metrocard for the subway and buses
-extra money for those times you don't want to take public transportation and you opt for a taxi (which is getting very expensive)
-food budget (more if you eat out)
have fun..NYC is a great place|||Cable
Phone Line or Cell Phone (depends on preference)
Internet (if applicable)
Commuting|||Laundry, whether you spend your time in the laundromat or use a drop off place. Groceries cost more in the city and supermarkets have a smaller selection of products,( most aisles are only wide enough for one shopping cart) Prices at fast food places are a bit higher than out of town.
Good Luck|||Well, if you plan to have a car in NYC, parking only costs about $450.00 & up per month, Plus outrageous gasoline prices (there are very few gas stations in NYC) and car insurance is rediculous. Honestly most NY'ers don't have cars .....
This will be our first family trip to NYC. We want to do tourist stuff like tour buses, statue of liberty, time square etc. Really don't want to pay a lot for lodging but do not want to stay in a roach motel either (lol)! People say to stay in New Jersey. Not sure where or what's best. Thanks in advance for all your suggestions!|||It depends what you mean by "inexpensive". For example, in Staten Island, there are some nice hotels that are an hour from Manhattan and cost around $115 per night. There is a Holiday Inn and a couple of other hotels there.
There is also a hotel called "La Quinta Inn" in Gowanus, Brooklyn that is closer to Manhattan, but the area isn't as nice as other areas (I don't know what the hotel itself is like)
New Jersey isn't bad either, but again, it all depends on what you determine to be "inexpensive".
I hope this information was very helpful.|||I'd recommend staying in Queens. It's as close as 15-20 minutes by subway and is still part of NYC.

This project regards constructing a map of NYC that has certain buildings locations and labels the cross streets as well, other buildings can be in the picture just the particular ones have to be in focus.|||Interactive map would mean to me that you are going to use region mapping in HTML. I use CuteMap to layout these things.
Having other buildings blurred means to me that you have to select areas in a photo editing program and use the blur effect, then change to another area and blur that. An alternative that might be less work would be to make a copy of the photo, blur the whole copy, and then select and move either the crisp buildings (move to blurred whole) or the blurred (move to crisp streets and buildings.) How tedious this is will partly depend on whether you can accept blurred streets so you can blur several blocks of buildings or must blur each block and building separately.
Once I'm out of college I want to know if I can possibly get an internship with one of the magazines that are in NYC? Mainly I want to find out HOW i can get a job there, do I have to fill out an application? Just walk in there and ask "I'm a photographer can I have a job?" or do I need to go online?
Mainly I just want INFO!|||You need to do several things at once.
- Market your portfolio: You don't know who is connect to who. If you do good work and let the world know what you want it make sit all the easier to connect the dots. Contact a photographer at ELLE and ask them to review your stuff first.
- Aggressively build a network: Connect to alumni in industry, have coffee chats and visit them for office visits, ask what you should be doing to get a job. This will tell you what you need to work on and already have people who can recommend you once you're ready to pursue an opportunity.
- Have specific goals and value proposition: The people who stand out can very clearly state what they offer and what they want to get out of a job. For example: is working at the magazine a stepping stone to somewhere else?
- Know the competition: What are the other photographers in the industry doing? Are they on certain sites, do they all hang out in the same social scenes. The industry is very incestuous in that regard.
Hope this helps and Good luck!
So my friend and I want to go to NYC for the day, we are 18 and 19. We want to go to Times square area. My parents are freaking out and dont want me to go. So is it relatively safe if we are smart about our day trip?|||its okay in the centre of tourist.|||I guarantee that you will be safe in that part of the city at that time of day unless you do something incredibly stupid. Put your mother at ease, the streets are crowded with a mix of tourists and busines people. For example, within a block of Times Square are office buildings that house the New York Times (Hence the name), Ernst and Young, Conde Nast magazines and the biggest law firm in NYC. That doesn't sound too sketchy, does it?
Plus there is a strong police presence everywhere.
Enjoy the trip.
One piece of advice..I think that taking the bus into town is probably the least desirable way, but it is still safe at that time of day.|||I've been wandering around Manhattan since I was 12! There's no reason for your parents to worry, especially if you aren't prone to doing anything stupid like getting in vans with strange men or wandering down dark alleys. The city is perfectly safe, especially in midtown. The biggest risk you run is getting taken in by pointless tourist traps. All through high school I went to concerts and wouldn't even get back on the train home until 2:30 AM.|||Of course it is. Besides, New York City is a lot safer now than it used to be some 20 years ago. If they your parents don't believe me, have them read the article at the link below.
