Whats a better place to stay on upper east side, 77th or 92th street? Isn't the 92th too far from everything? There is a simpler condo on the 77th to rent and a better one with many amedities in the building on the 92th. What to choose?

77th but depends. Its still far from alot of things. You probably want 50th and below -
If you're a bitch ass twerp, stay away from 92nd. It's just a couple blocks from all those east harlem public housing projects, and I've seen plenty of young yuppies get victimized for making wrong turns around there trying to find their condo after a drunk night at a bar. If you're not a victim type of person and love latinas with fat asses and good weed, move to 92nd.
When living in manhattan in this new millenium, keep this general thought in mind:
The lower the street numbers = the safer the neighborhood... Unless you hit the lower east side, then it's dangerous again.
And what the hell does "too far from everything" mean in nyc? Never heard such a thing.

77th...unless your "hood"Comment

I don't plan any nightly adventures, pretty much just exploring the attractions during the day and using taxi most of the time. Still too dangerous?If you're a bitch ass twerp, stay away from 92nd.

Go to SoHo, near Washington Square Park, so cool there.Comment

What size places are you looking at and what is rent going for these days?
I miss being in the city. And as already pointed out, in Manhattan nothing is really ever "too far".Comment

I lived in Turtle Bay.Русня, идите нахуй!Comment

how long are you planning on being there?I am the walrus.Comment

I'd pick the 77th one. As far as distance... 20 blocks isnt going to make much of a difference but at least its a safer neighborhood.
There isnt anything that interesting in terms of night life and food above the 50s anyway.Comment

Have you been to the L.E.S. in the past 5 years? It actually safer than in the 30s now with all the boutique hotels and shops. Back before 99 it was sketch, now it's a way different vibe. Actually I think its a bit to safe and cutesy for my taste anymore. But they do have some of the best places to eat... WD-50...etcComment

Thats the crazy thing about NYC... every area changes for the better every 2-3 years. Look at Brooklyn and what has happened there in the last 10 Years.Comment
-
Word, Fort Green is like a whole new world these days... Brooklyn changed a lot... and Harlem. Hardest hit by gentrification I guess. But the crime rates in central Brooklyn are still high as fuck.
But it feels like the Bronx has been making a turn for the worse. All these harlem rejects moved here and are competing with the natives for turf. They're all being stuffed into these giant cheeply built low income buildings with a million tiny apartments in them. They're kinda like mini housing projects lol.“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket.

The projects on 92nd street are named "the John C Holmes Houses " lol and I think they are designated for the elderly. So you might have some 1930s G's living there. The whole city has been cleansed of the "bad element" from 130th and below. Stay at the best place below 125th street and pay the extra 3 dollars on your cab rides.This place is disney land compared to what it used to be.Even the bad parts are high end
Compared to the rest of the country ;)Comment

Oh yeah and as stated earlier stay out of the Bronx unless you dig 10 dollar aids infected hookers and heroin

That mindframe gets a lot of people victimized in this city every day for venturing too far uptown lol...
Jennifer: "Hey Billy, lets go up to the Bronx Zoo and look around the neighborhood for a StarBucks"
Billy: "No Jen, haven't you seen that 80 Blocks from Tifany's movie? Lets just go to the Zoo then come straight back to the hotel."
Jennifer: "Silly Billy, The Bronx isn't like that anymore... NYC is the safest city in the country now!"
Billy: "Oh OK, I want to see what a Venti Mocha Latte' Express from the Bronx tastes like anyway"
Next thing you know Jenny was found floating down the east river and a year later Billy was spotted begging for change on the train to support his Hunts Point hooker habit.

Williamsburg played itself out 5 years ago. To many Manhattanites and trust fund babies. It was alot more fun in the early 2000s with places like Cokie's and Sparky's
But yes lots of hipster girls around for sure.
We had to move our office out of there because it got way too pricyComment

nothing is too far in NYC. Stay where you get the best amenities IMHO

77th st is the better choice
If you can afford it...................go midtownComment

Midtown is all booked short-termish. About the amedities, the one on the 77th has zero, its just an apartment. The one on the 92th has a 24/7 front desk, pool, gym, children's playroom, etc. It is also bigger.Comment

92nd isn't bad at all. Unless your name is Pete The Fly.
The only thing you should check is how far away it is from the train. 92nd could be more convenient than 77th. Hell, 125th is more convenient than 77th and York. Subway stop distance matters.I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

You can find a really nice 1br in midtown for your budget.Comment

Seriously. Fuck cabs if you are that far up. Train it like the rest of the people. (for the record, i'm from NJ about 12 miles from Manhattan and almost always drive in... That may change as I heard somewhere that the tolls are going up AGAIN over their present $8.
To the OP, you may want to consider looking into a place like Hoboken or Weehawken in NJ. They are right across the river and very close to various forms of mass transit right into midtown.-uno
