MEE NOODLE HOUSE on 53rd and Ninth is one of the GOODS.
The schedule of the M50 is one of the BADS but the two buses across 57th are pretty good, if near you.
it's a 2 bedroom converted into 3. the third bedroom is in the living room. it has a pressurized wall or whatnot so it looks like a real wall.
the 2 bed is going for 4,881/mo. split that in 3 and boom. since im getting the master bedroom with the good views & bathroom in it, its a little more expensive than the other 2. we also have a washer and dryer in the unit. WIN.
but yeah, my concern is the commune. i work literally across town. on 3rd ave between 46/47th sts. not sure which route will be best.
i actually walked from my work to this building today and it took me about 30 mins.
Good to have the Manhattan experience, but you do realize that a similar 1 or 2 bedroom costs virtually the same in Astoria, and no roommates!
30 minutes isn't a bad walk, i used to walk from Port Authority to Grand Central everyday.
Ninth Avenue has a host of good restaurants. Whole Foods is at Columbus Circle. Close to the theater district and movie houses. Walking distance to Central Park. If you like pies and cakes, there is The Little Pie Company (best damn carrot cake in the city!) on 43rd in Manhattan Plaza. A few off Broadway theaters too. Chez Josephine!!
Straight shot down 9th Ave to Chelsea and the West Village. Similarly, uptown to Lincoln Center and the Upper West Side. Walk, bus or taxi.
The OP's move is indicative of the transient nature of the Transplant population in Astoria, and why despite the growing population, Astoria is not gentrifying.

How's the E train going towards queens between 8-9am? too crowded? also, is it one of those trains that takes 30 mins to arrive?

The Jamaica bound E train runs pretty smoothly. I take the E & F every day and its probably a 3-4 minute wait for each. Going to Manhattan, on the other hand, takes twice the time!
I've worked either in or near Hell's Kitchen and I've always liked it. Great restaurants on 9th. Uncle Nick's, Nook (BYOB), Lime Jungle, Victor's Cafe, Restaurant Row, Room Service, Donna Bell's Bake Shop, etc., etc.
On the downside, it can be a bit seedy, a bit dirty, a bit off the beaten path. But it's pretty easy to get to wherever you want to go. Enjoy your new digs!

Your lifeline will be the M50. It grinds along slowly but since you are probably near the origination point, you will always have a seat GOING to work and you can read the paper.

What do you mean by this and why is it important for Astoria to gentrify? What's wrong with it NOW that it needs so-call "new blood"?
