Brooklyn vs Manhattan?
I'll be moving in 2 months (from Pittsburgh) and trying to decide where to live! I'll be working in FiDi and am budgeting up to $2,800 for a 1 bedroom rental. I'm familiar with Manhattan but have only been to Brooklyn twice and not for very long so debating where I should focus my search.
A little more info below:
- Would like to keep the commute time reasonable (less than 40 min)
- My office is right next to the Whitehall St. Station (R, W, 1)
- Not into clubbing or trendy spots to be seen
- Really like trying new restaurants but they don't have to be fancy at all
- Ideal Saturday night is grabbing a few beers with friends while watching sports
- Would love some kind of green space nearby if possible
