[nabs-l] Living in New York City

Justin,
Oh, its harder for dog users definitely. Housing discrimination and many 
foreign restaurant owners object to a dog entering the restaurant I've 
heard. I know it should not happen, but keep in mind foreign people don't 
understand it and don't speak good english. Their culture sees dogs as 
unclean. In some countries, they eat dogs. So, based on their cultural 
upbringing they object to dogs in their private business.
I don't know why housing discrimination occurs but it does in complexes 
having a no pet policy.

Hello all,
I will be moving to New York City in August and was wondering how things are
over there for blind people in general? Is public transportation good? How
about big intersections etc? Of course I have been to New York in several
occasions before but only for short periods of time.
Ideally I would like to find an apartment near Juilliard (Lincoln Center
Plaza) as it would be the most convenient option for me, but I don't know if
that will be possible for several reasons. I am trying to figure out how
realistic it would be for me to live far away from Juilliard and go back and
forth? I have a guide dog and have no problems at all dealing with public
transportation, but don't know much about New York and Manhattan in
particular when it comes to these things.
Any comments, tips or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

IC
