"Very Commercialized"

E. 149th Street is one long commercial zone. Nearly every block you walk you will find stores galore. Even in spots where the street is divided by construction, there is still a lot to offer. you can get there by subway to the Grand Concourse, or by bus.
Pros
  • Stores are everywhere
Cons
  • Too busy much of the time
