Hey New Yorkers. Besides Manhattan, what are a couple of the premier places to live in the city? I live in the Country Club section of the Bronx, which is quite suburban, as far as the city goes. I still love it. It's more akin to Westchester or Staten Island (which is also a gorgeous borough), than it is to the rest of the Bronx. But to be honest, you can make a case for all of the boroughs. Queens for it's multi-ethnicity, Brooklyn for it's history, Manhattan, well, because it's Manhattan.

I'm paying £50 to see Radiohead in June. I'm not really sure what the USD to Euro conversion rate is, but I can't imagine that's a steep price. Well, it's good old British sterling for me, and I'm apparently paying the equivalent of $99 for a single ticket. It's the most I've ever paid to see someone. That's ridiculous! Tickets for the U.S. tour dates are only going for an average of about $50. But I suppose there is probably a larger demand for Radiohead tickets in the UK.

Hey New Yorkers. Besides Manhattan, what are a couple of the premier places to live in the city? If I were to ever move into the city, I'd aim for Brooklyn, but purely for the arts & music scene there. A lot of great, lesser-known bands travel through Brooklyn.

I really get the impression that many or most parts of New York are crime infested denizens of quiet desperation. At least that's how they are generally ortrayed in the movies and on Law&Order. Is that worng? Yes. Don't believe everything you see on tv. Oh wait, you're the dude who believes Adriana LaCerva is still alive. Never mind.

Now wait a minute. Do you speak of the same Queens that Eddie Murphy inhabited in Coming To America? Is it the same Brooklyn that Vinnie Barbarino inhabited? And the Bronx as in South Bronx?
