I lived on east 89th for three years and liked it very much. What it lacked it nightlife, it made up for in amenities. I had four Duane Reades within a 5 block radius of my place- not to mention Barnes and Noble, Best Buy, Staples, Fairway, Food Emporium, Gristedes, and more. My friend and I took over a lease, and we got a pretty good deal for the location and apartment size. The management company, however, did start to jack up the rent- and the 2nd ave subway construction was increasingly bothersome.

Kad, that's wonderful neighborhood. We have been at York and 71st for the last several years. Sometimes I regret when I have to do commuting of any kind but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Love being able to take a break from the "hustle and bustle" while still residing in Manhattan. Good balance.

There are a lot of buildings in NYC that are used for exteriors in shows and movies that are said to not be where they actually are. Like the exterior of the Huxtable's house on the Cosby show is also in Greenwich Village, and the show takes place in Brooklyn.

The exterior on SATC was shot in the village, and the interiors were permanent sets at the Silvercup Studios in Queens.s
