  1. wrong area but  Weschester county is  a Great choice

    check out Dobbs Ferry, Scarsdale North Yonkers.


  2. Check out NoLita

    "East of Broadway is NoLIta, until the Bowery. It goes down to Canal Street, and starts at Houston," Michael Pandolfo said, giving the borders of the area in Manhattan more and more frequently referred to by a contraction of North of Little Italy.

    Mr. Pandolfo said this while sitting with his friends and co-workers in Nolita House, a two-and-a-half-year-old restaurant and pub on Houston Street, which stands across the street from SoHo Billiards. How an establishment on the northern side of Houston can take the neighborhood name for the area that is South of Houston is a point to ponder.

    Another might be, where exactly is NoLIta?

    Around the bend from Nolita House, down Mott Street, going south, is an apartment building called SoHo Abbey. And one block down from the restaurant is another apartment building, SoHo Court (also, improbably, on the northern side of Houston).

    Do these names belie Nolita House's moniker? There's no NoLIta on the Web site of New York City's Department of City Planning, which lists 290 total neighborhood names in all of New York City, and 39 in Manhattan. You also won't find NoLIta on the subway map or on the maps in the back of taxis.

    However, the maps found in IN New York magazine, the Manhattan hotel staple, do list them. "We endeavor to be as detailed as possible," the magazine's marketing director, George Wilson, said. Several other tourist maps also carve out a small region for NoLIta. As does Zagat Survey, whose borders of NoLIta concur with Mr. Pandolfo's for the Bowery and Houston Street, but not for the western and southern boundaries. (Zagat Survey has Lafayette Street and Kenmare Street, respectively.)

  3. Upper West side is the best neighborhood to raise a child in NYC in my opinion.

    And whoever said Washington Heights, are you kidding me I love the neighborhood but the reason I'm not raising kids there it's bc the lack of good schools.

  4. the best public schools are in Washington Heightz, Manhattan
