my roommates are both awesome and do not get in the way at all. If i wanted to pay double what i do now i could probably find a one bedroom or studio within a few blocks of my place.

i don't want to be in new york when i'm 30, i want to in a farmhouse in rural new england raising goats and smoking homegrown.
I've got some goats I'll trade for an apartment

i'll be up there later this month, which is when i hope to do some productive apartment searching.

how many goats?
― bell_labs, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 19:40 (sixteen years ago) link
he is just trying to trick us. don't trust a man who freely barters his last goats.
― ian, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 19:43 (sixteen years ago) link
they are probably old and sickly goats
― bell_labs, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 19:43 (sixteen years ago) link
I will likely be in NY when I am an old and sickly goat.

ian I'll probably still be in NY so hit me up if you need an artisanal goat cheese wholesaler

- healthy, friendly goats, non-smokers, no drugs or growth hormones - offering 300 goats per month - goats are conveniently located in East Africa, just steps from Suez Canal - MUST PROVIDE OWN GOAT TRANSPORTATION - no overnight visits with goats
― nabisco, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 20:00 (sixteen years ago) link
- MUST PROVIDE OWN GOAT TRANSPORTATION
dealbreaker.
― ian, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 20:02 (sixteen years ago) link
i mean seriously dude, you can't even go halfway with me on this goat transport issue?
― ian, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 20:04 (sixteen years ago) link
* it's NOT ok to contact this poster with other commercial goat interests
― dmr, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 20:04 (sixteen years ago) link
300 goats per month is a lot of fucking goats!

I am rushing to Midwood to look at studio, will probly have to get dinner at this Difara b4 getting back on Q to go to movie screening.
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 20:09 (sixteen years ago) link
gross, dude, nobody said anything about fucking them. u got problems
― dmr, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 20:11 (sixteen years ago) link
can you tell I'm having a slow work day
i heard you don't get buybacks at daddy's if you smell like goats.
― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 20:13 (sixteen years ago) link
lol let's keep the daddy's beef confined to just 6 or 7 threads ok
― dmr, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 20:13 (sixteen years ago) link
difara dinnertime can be a long wait.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 20:16 (sixteen years ago) link
goat beef?
yeah, I figured... can I get to-go then? I can't sit thru a Dalton Trumbo documentary w/ no dinner.
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 20:17 (sixteen years ago) link
Ha, as of the last time I bought an east-African goat, they were going for less than US$1 each, so 300 is not a bold offer
― nabisco, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 20:19 (sixteen years ago) link
morbs, the set-up is one elderly man making pizzas for a devoted mob of customers. there's no waiter service - you order at the counter, once you've made your way to it. we go during off-off hours because otherwise it's too much hassle. call me a sad example of our convenience-obsessed society, but waiting an hour and a half for a pizza (even if it's the best pizza in the city) is beyond me.
― lauren, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 20:21 (sixteen years ago) link
gahhhh, that won't work, then
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 20:25 (sixteen years ago) link
the area's not a dead zone, though - there are quite a few middle eastern places scattered around cia/aves j and k, iirc. plus some glatt kosher places but i wouldn't recommend eating at one of those unless you're keeping the dietary laws.
― lauren, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 20:29 (sixteen years ago) link
I think if you just get slices, and stand your ground at the counter, you have a chance of getting food at a reasonable rate.
Yeah, going into a glatt kosher place and asking for a ham and cheese sandwhich is NOT COOL.

An acquaintance of mine has a lovely 4-room floor through in G'point for under a $1,000. She got it through a broker a few years ago. *sob*

I had time to eat in Manhattan... Place is similar size to my Kensington place AND $75 less a month. :o I could take taxis again.

and also be near me! except i will only be there for another week and a half and then just 1 day a week next fall.

I like Sunset Park a lot. Nonetheless, probably gonna move to Lefferts for the Q train convenience and proximity to Prospect Park. Also, apartments are very large there. I will miss Clinton Hill but I can't afford a bigger apartment here.

what's bed-stuy like?
― max, Wednesday, 6 August 2008 13:44 (fifteen years ago) link
tbh i think crown heights is a much better neighborhood in the same price range.
it also depends on where in bedstuy, what train you are close to, and where you're commuting to.
― bell_labs, Wednesday, 6 August 2008 13:50 (fifteen years ago) link
putnam, near kingston-throop, commuting to soho

this is not for me btw
― max, Wednesday, 6 August 2008 13:53 (fifteen years ago) link
what kind of 'price range' is appropriate for bed-stuy (or crown heights)
1BR or 2BR? look on craigs list!
― cutty, Wednesday, 6 August 2008 13:57 (fifteen years ago) link
cutty i wasn't saying anything bad about bed-stuy, i just think crown heights is underrated
― bell_labs, Wednesday, 6 August 2008 14:00 (fifteen years ago) link
ha i was telling max to step off ;)
― cutty, Wednesday, 6 August 2008 14:06 (fifteen years ago) link

Those neighborhoods, at those prices.. why not live in Bridgeport and make origami out of all the leftover money each month?
