[nabs-l] Living in New York City

[David Andrews]

While I haven't been there in a while, in the past, the public 
transportation was very good, subways maybe not the newest, but there 
were lots of them, buses etc.  The New York Association of Guide Dog 
Users has a list here,

p.s.  I suspect housing is expensive, you may have to look a lot to 
find something you like, that is convenient and affordable.
