10. Behind the preposition "at"

...as a teacher of my acquaintance used to say.

Then I was at Fifth Ave. & 22nd St. in a tiny studio.

Now I'm in Inwood, above Dyckman (200th) St.

11. I lived in the George Washington Apts on Lex and 23rd for 3 years

then I moved into an apartment with a friend on the top floor above Curry in a Hurry on Lex and 28th for a year

What's it like way the F up there? Affordable? :)

15. You're in Inwood, PB?

I've been up that way a few times...old Irish neighborhood, huh?
I went to see the old Dyckman farm house last summer....should have phoned ahead...it was closed for renovations. :(

And The Cloisters? Man. I love that place! :)

Everyone living in or visiting NYC should go see The Cloisters.
Just amazing.

18. Every goth kid LARPs up there.

There's also that Pagan mixer there that we go to every year...er, I mean Ren Faire...what's the difference though? :)

2. Yup, It's Near The Masonic Temple That I Go To

for my study/ritual group. 23rd & Broadway.

Check them out for Christmas!

They don't have half as much stuff as they used to but it's still great. :)

6. Ever been to the ABC warehouse

8. really?

I never heard of it - do you have any more info?

[SPQR]

12. It's up near the Hunt's Point

Market, as I recall.

Hey, I just found everything you need to know about it! I'm loving this whole internet thingy! This is from newyorkmetro.com:

At ABC's outlet, mere mortals can afford the luxe goods sold at its flagship -— glamorous furniture, mesmerizing oriental carpets, sumptuous linens. Prices are still high, mind you, but expect 30 to 50 percent off the original sticker shock. Also check their website regularly for information on warehouse sales in the tri-state area where savings can be up to 80 percent. --TISA COEN
