The apartment on the East Side is in a MUCH nicer neighborhood. 44th and 9th is safe because of all the people walking around at all hours, but generally the buildings, stores, and restaurants around 26th and 3rd are nicer. It is a more established neighborhood that is less noisy and crowded.
. . . and generally less convenient in terms of public transportation. Of course, the specifics come into focus depending on where, besides work, you go.
I will actually be taking the subway to 242 Bronx, my company runs a shuttle to pick us up from that location. So I wont be taking GCT.
With that in mind, would everyone still recommend E 26th?
My boss told me that that area is quiet and he didn't think I would have enough to do? Is this correct or not?
Thank you!
Do they not have a shuttle to the MNR station in Yonkers? I wouldn't want to take the train up to 242 every day. The 1 train is local the whole way and slow.
Not so bad, especially if a rider boards at Times Sq. They can take the #2 or 3 express to 96th. Beyond that, it's not so long to the end of the line. I've done it.
You can catch the Metro-North Hudson River Line to Yonkers from Grand Central Station, if you don't want to deal with the 1 train. I believe that the Metro-North (depending on the line - Express or Local) makes 4 stops in Yonkers. I do not know how you would get to where you want to go but there are buses that you can catch from the Ludlow and the Yonkers station. BTW, Ludlow is the first stop in Yonkers and Yonkers would be the 2nd stop.
You can also catch the 4 train to Woodlawn and catch a bus from there that will take you to Yonkers. All depends on where you are going and what buses are near there.
