At the moment, 12th Street between University Place and Broadway in Manhattan, New York City. In about fifteen minutes, walking north to the office on 50th & 6th Avenue (the Time Life/CNN building...or "the Death Star" if you will). Officially moving next week to 9th Street between University Place and Broadway. Look for me wearing a black armband of mourning as of next Wednesday, as I don't really want to leave 12th street.

hstencil: Hunters Point is an amazing neighborhood (I've been there for 11 years now). Best strategy is probably to come out to the area you like best and put up signs saying you want an apartment, with your phone number on them...
