59th Bridge St Suites (on 60th) good or bad??
They offer longer term (1 month+) stays in N.Y. (apartment style) located at 60th street and 1st ave. Anyone in New York know of this place and care to comment -- good or bad? Is it safe area? Thanks in advance!

Don't know the place, but it's a perfectly safe, if boring, neighborhood. It's several blocks from the east side subway line, though.

I stayed in a Bridge Street Suites studio apartment for one month in 2001 while transitioning from one NYC apt to another. <BR><BR>Very Spartan, to say the least, but relatively clean and affordable. Air conditioning was marginal, and the apt was hot during the day and took a long time to cool down at night. <BR><BR>The area is fine, although it's just two doors east of the infamous "Scores," which can generate some late night noise. There's a Starbucks across First Ave and a great supermarket under the bridge. Plenty of restaurants/bars on First & Second Aves as well. <BR><BR>The subway is a hike, particularly now that the Third Avenue entrance is closed for renovation. One must walk to Lexington Avenue and deal with the Bloomingdale's crowd. <BR><BR>Otherwise it's a very convenient location to all things midtown, and the FDR is right there for trips downtown.

Ted, as always, you rock. Is there anything you *haven't* experienced in New York??? Many thanks to you for all your excellent & honest info over the years here.

Yes, thanks for the details, Ted. I'm not in N.Y. so I have to decide about subletting it from afar. Interesting how this is a "safe and boring" place, yet it's next to Scores! lol

Many thanks for the kind words.<BR><BR>Boring? Well, in general the Upper East Side is comparatively safe, clean & quiet. If that makes it boring, so be it. <BR><BR>In addition to Scores, the Bridge Suite Apartments are surrounded by dozens of un-boring bars and restaurants. (A few weeks ago I saw Derek Jeter leaving Merchant's, right around the corner on First Ave, with a bevy of hot babes. Let's ask Derek if the neighborhood is boring.)
