Adventures in NYC Apartment Hunting

Yesterday, I went to see six or seven more apartments on the Upper West Side. Out of those, there's only one that I liked. It was a solid second favorite to my top pick at 68th and Columbus. I went to see the apartment on Columbus again today after work, took measurements, and decided we'd proceed forward with an application on that apartment. I bought bombolinis from the bakery around the corner to celebrate. When I got home, I received an email from the broker saying that someone else had put in an application today and is signing the lease tomorrow. I was totally heartbroken.

So... we're going this afternoon to put in an application on the other apartment I liked at 94th and Broadway. There are definitely some advantages to this apartment. It's on the second floor and there's an elevator. It's definitely more quiet and peaceful there. The kitchen is separate from the living area. The living area is larger, and our furniture will fit well. All rooms have lovely french doors that really open the place up. We may even have room to entertain! It's right around the corner from an entrance to the 96th street subway station and that's an express train. It's also less expensive than the other place.

Here are some photos









Now I'm going to eat a pistachio bombolini. I think I deserve it! This process has been hellish!
