2-3 months in NY where to live?

[Maya]

A friend is studying to a desighner... got a place to practice in sommer in Manhattan... no place to stay? Any ideas?

[dazed-and-confused]

maya, i KNOW you'll love NYC, but as to a place to stay, i can't help you. wouldn't it be nice if a member from NYC or the surrounding area could put you up for helping with the bills?

good luck.

i'm from NYC so while you're there or when you get back i want all the details.

p.s. i now live in florida.

[dazed-and-confused]

maya...is the school your friend going to on 25 or 26 street?

i used to live on 24 st., between 7-8 ave.

The school i in Utah.. but ther eis a very famous desighnet on Manhattan. We wish for a LDS family...

[dazed-and-confused]

the school is in UTAH?

i misunderstood....i thought it was in NYC

[Maya]

Yep the practising place is in NY

[dazed-and-confused]

okay.

you have some options as to different wards.

i know that there are wards in all of the buroughs (towns) of NYC.

there are also wards in new jersey just across the river fron NYC that are an easy commute to NYC.

Burroughs of NYC are queens, brooklyn, staten island, manhattan.

in new jersey.....hudson county, including north bergen, union city, weehawken, guttenberg, hoboken, jersey city......and out lying areas...seacaucus, fort lee, ridgefield park, edgewater, bayonne.

you might ask your bishop or mission president how to get in touch with these communities.

bergen county...fort lee, ridgefield park, and others that i cannot think of right now.

good luck.

i do so hope you will find something.

i love NYC and i think you will love it too.

I would contact the bishops in the ward she will be staying and see if anyone is looking for a renter.

Just warn him to be careful. So many people on an island can cause it to capsize. At least according to this Congressman:

I'd say boroughs are more like counties, since they all have "towns" within them. And you forgot the borough of the Bronx

I'm from Long Island (grew up here, went to college in DC, and moved back last summer), and work in Manhattan.
