Absolutely the nicest and most engaging people we have ever come across. We shared a few stories and told them about our police force back home. They were so happy to chat to us and share (limited information of course). We felt really comfortable engaging with them and they did a fantastic job at the protest too. Cool, calm and collected, out in force looking after everyone. Well done NYPD, you all did a great job. Really nice personable people.

New York City Police Department has really changed in my opinion. In the twenty three years I've…read morelived in Manhattan I have seen the attitudes of police officers turn from nasty to friendly, kind and caring. I always stop and let them know how I appreciate their service and presence. When I was at the Feast of San Gennaro this week they were present. They are at all the main public events I've attended. At the Feast they had a table set up for recruiting. The nice officer kept trying to get me to take a free pen. Make no mistake about it they are underpaid especially rookies. It's dangerous work and great benefits for those that survive. I'm not recommending you join the department but I am recommending them as they are currently treating me. If that makes sense. I'm glad they are around when I need them!

Monument Hero and Dead Fire Department is a beautiful monument I came across by accident. I also…read morelove the Tablet in front of the Monument. It's dedicated to the Horses in Valor and Devotion, and with mighty speed, shared in the rescue. Dedicated by the ASPCA in 1927. There's lots of seating around the monument. I was there twice today and people stop to rest as I did. It's in a quiet neighborhood without a lot of street traffic. I'm highly recommending you visit and enjoy the details of this beautiful monument up close. It's absolutely beautiful!

There's a lot to explore in a tiny space. The vents with the handkerchiefs and recycling truck were hits. The coat area is so crowded and too full. If you add in all the strollers, it's insane trying to get your items if you wait until the end of the 1.5 hour. The unavoidable shop at the front is very enticing. There are tables to eat snack in the shop, but you'll inevitably be asked to buy everything there. Your entry includes on snack, which is a nice gesture.

Recommend getting there early so you can enter during the first wave as it got a bit crowded later on. The little houses were pretty well maintained and had a lot inside for the little ones to play with. Some toys are more interact than others, with more wooden toys than plastic. There is a fixed play time of 1.5 hours, then a free snack.

FDNY Engine Co. 53 Ladder Co. 43 East Harlem The Fire…read moreDepartment of the City of New York (FDNY) is the largest Fire Department in the United States and is recognized as the world's busiest and most highly skilled emergency response agency. The Department's main goal is to provide fire protection, emergency medical care, and other critical public safety services to residents and visitors in the five boroughs. The Department works to continually educate the public in fire, life safety and disaster preparedness, along with enforcing public safety codes. Since its inception in 1865, FDNY has helped lead efforts to make New York the safest big city in the nation. Unfortunately I see them hard at work all too often in my neighborhood. Fires are common when you have old residential buildings. Restaurant fires are all to common too. Along with the NYPD these men are risking their lives daily. I'm glad to support their efforts as much as I can and appreciate seeing them in my neighborhood. This Fire Station is a safe haven for anyone in trouble. They are always on duty.

There has been a horrible odor coming from our sink for months. The ceiling is caving in due to construction that has been ongoing in a dangerous manner (debris flying, poles jutting onto our terrace, all the screens on our windows ripped) for the majority of our time here. Trying to get a super to come to your apartment is like trying to win the lottery. Multiple neighbors smoke in the apartment. This is a truly awful place to live. Save yourself the hassle and avoid at all costs. I agree w/prior reviews, this building should be condemned. Oh, and the ceiling and walls are caving in, in multiple places.

Be careful if they give you a rent preferential unit for a very affordable price because they will rack it up and you'll have to spend all the fees to move out again. That being said, I love Karen from Pine management. She is always so lovely. This management company is responsive - every time I have a problem they will send a super to come look at it. But I did have a persisting bug problem and they never did anything productive to fix it. I got my full security deposit back.
