Where I can safely walk the streets at night. Thankfully, I live in a pretty good neighborhood near a police precinct not three blocks away. I feel blessed that I have the place I do in the area I live in. I love it here uptown. We’re not so far uptown that we’re an hour away from all of the excitement mid-town or even downtown in the West Village. We’re juuuust right. Like a bowl of porridge. Mmmm…porridge…wait…I’m digressing.
I have friends who are in the market for a new place here in NYC and it’s not easy, let me tell you. The housing market is crazy here. That’s why it’s best to work with folks you can trust.
There are tons of disreputable ‘brokers’ out there and sometimes having a ‘friend’ who ‘knows somebody’ isn’t enough–or helpful.

North Fork real estate properties might just be the place for you
They can hook you up in Manhattan, Long Island and if the Hamptons are your thing you’re all set…I am a Manhattan gal, so my interest in the Hamptons or even Patchogue is quite limited. But, if you’re lookin’ for a place for your stuff and your happy self, check ‘em out. They’ve got 60 offices, so there’s bound to be something for ya.
Imagine finding your perfect brownstone with no muss and no fuss. You tell ‘em what you want, what your price range is and they do all of the footwork for you. That’s got to be a good thing, yeah?

Check ‘em out.

It’s finally cooling off here in NYC. How great is that? I love wearing sweaters and tights and getting cozy in a nice warm apartment…with a nice cozy man…ha ha h…okay. So what did I do today? I took a nice long walk in the park by my place, spoke with some of my neighbors. It was so pleasant. It was sunny and cool, so I didn’t even need to wear a jacket, I just put on a nice thick turtleneck sweater and strolled uptown with the wind in my hair and a couple of bucks in my pocket for the nuts that they sell when it gets cool. A nice bag of honey roasted cashews or my personal favorite–coconut warms your hands as you’re walking around. They’re only a buck fifty. Not so shabby. I should write a book: How to live in New York on nothing a day. Well, not nothing, but pretty darned close to it, man.

I can’t wait for real jacket weather. I have a ton of scarves. And I knit.

Spiffy stuff.

Well, I went out on Halloween and watched about ten minutes of the parade in the Village. It was sorta cool, but I grew bored and meandered down to Johnny’s. It was as cool as ever, since I got my ’spot’ at the corner near the window. I feel safe there. Met some groovy folks, some of whom were in groovy costumes. Mine? I went as an out of work actor. Didn’t need to buy anything, ’cause out of work actors look just like you and me. It was fun. Whilst outside with some friends, Sam Talbot of “Top Chef” fame sauntered by talking on his mobile phone. I suspect he wasn’t even talking to anyone, he just didn’t want to engage anyone in conversation. It was a hectic night. He was cute but I didn’t want to engage in conversation with strangers. Guys, he really is that tall and kinda hot. Fast walker as well. I like that in a New Yorker.
Back to the action: My pal “Claude” went as Jesus. He actually had photocopied a photo of himself to hand out…autographed pics of the Messiah…since he’s Jewish I don’t think he has a date with the hell train, but still. He looked good. I don’t know if Jesus drinks Jameson’s but it was a blast to see people getting photos of him.
I tried to lay low. A woman went as Bettie Page. She looked good.
All in all, the night was great. I drank for free.
Who doesn’t love free?
