It's relatively quiet compared to Manhattan but it has a lot of places to eat. It's known for being a Greek and Middle Eastern neighborhood but it's actually a culturally diverse neighborhood so you'll be able to find all different types of ethnic foods. You should have no problem finding supermarkets and laundromats. It's also a safe neighborhood. It's about a 15 minute train ride to Manhattan. You'd probably end up taking 2 trains to John JAy and the commute will be around 40 minutes to an hour. Do you have specific questions? I'd suggest looking up prices for rooms in Astoria on Craigslist to find out if they fit your budget.<div><br></div><div>Walei </div><div> <div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> <br><div><div>On Apr 14, 2013, at 4:53 PM, "keri" <<a href="mailto:wvucountrygirl729@gmail.com">wvucountrygirl729@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div bgcolor="#ffffff" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><font size="2" face="Arial">Could you tell me more about your area?</font></div><div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font> </div><div><font size="2" face="Arial">thanks,</font></div><div>keri</div><div> </div><div>"Sometimes your nearness takes my breath away; and all the things I want to say can find no voice.
