There are many things to do along this street in SW Atlanta. You must try making pottery at Bodega Garden. Or, the Loft at Castleberry Hill is the perfect place for a reception or business dinner. Clark Atlanta University is nearby, as is Spellman / Morehouse Colleges. For delicious Mexican, you must try out the No Mas Cantina. This street is heavily traveled, so there is traffic at times and noise from trucks. Grady Memorial is close also.

This street has many restaurants that you can choose from - everything from Chinese to Hagen Dazs. Peachtree NW has a great park in the middle of the city where you can go to get some exercise. The Corrections Dept. and City Jail and Georgia Pacific are here, as well as Super Walmart. India House Brass and Magic City are close by for those interested in Nightlife. Bus Transportation is the fastest way around the city.

Since this is the downtown district, there is a lot of people and bustle. Traffic can be a bit much. However, if you walk, you shouldn't have a big problem. For your choice of restaurants there is Johnny Rockets and Tringali's to choose from. Bus transportation is great and it is relatively easy to navigate. Suntrust Bank, Mayor's Office, Capitol - they are all here - and close. To get away, there is Woodruff Park to take a quick stroll. Roly Poly on Park Place makes the tastiest soups and sandwiches, also.

Within walking distance of the zoo and Grant Park, this is the ultimate location to live. This street runs along the southern part of the city and is easily accessible to get to through public transportation. There is Grant Central Pizza that is definitely a treat. Rawson Washington Park is close so that you can take a stroll or a jog easily. This road is also pretty to walk down - there is some heavy traffic, however, so you'd want to be careful with kids. The schools in this township are very good, also.

David Road is right across the expressway from Embry Hill shopping center. It is very conveniently located in a quiet part of Atlanta. These houses and lawns are definitely well taken care of. David dead ends on Embry one way and simply dead end's the other. It is a VERY quiet neighborhood for those seeking this. Along Chamblee Tucker Road, you can basically eat any type of cuisine that you'd like. North Hills shopping center is close by. Along 23, there is also another shopping center.

I can only dream of living on this street, as it is so beautiful. This is Georgia at its best - large houses and lots of land. This street is at a perfect location with the zoo, airport (DeKalb/Peachtree), and parks just minutes away. You will also be relatively close to the interstate (285/85). There are many lakes that one can visit throughout the city. Peachtree Golf Club is also about 10 minutes away for the avid golfer. Mercer University is within walking distance of this neighborhood. Embry Village Wine, Mr. Cue Billiards/Burgers. Little Cuba - these are just some of the restaurants / hang outs nearby.

If you have the opportunity and of course, the money, this is one of the most stunning parts of Atlanta. The houses here are old and characteristic of the Old Georgia. Nearby, within walking distance, is the zoo at Grant Park. Beulah Bible College and major interstate nearby. This is definitely more surburban than city for those seeking the nightlife of the city. Schools in the area are in the top percentile. Great location to start a family.

Great little restaurant, Johnny Cakes, and other restaurants - No Mas Cantina, etc. in close proximity with Peters St. There really isn't much going on here, you'd need to go into the city - like Decatur and Memorial to get some action. It is great for students in Clark Atlanta or Spelman - about 5 minutes away. Close to interstate 20 for those that travel - also Greyhound. A lot of apartments in this area and definitely not your surburban neighborhood. Traffic is pretty smooth.

Walking down this street everyday, I knew that I would love living in this neighborhood. Everything is right at your fingertips. Like New York City, everything is around the corner. There are restaurants for all different tastes. There is Calabash for the vegetarian eater and Buddy's Snack Bar. On Broad, you can easily shop at Fox's. Department of Justice is closeby. Traffic is atrocious and probably would be smarter to take Public Transportation to travel, even though you're not too far from 85 or other highways.

Probably not the greatest place to live in all of Atlanta. I mean, there are so many abandoned buildings, construction, people, etc. It can be a bit dreary for the one looking for 'peachtree Georgia' living. Great for the ones working in the business district as it is only minutes away from the Mayor's office and the Capitol. If you want to take a little walk, you can hang out at Georgia Plaza Park - lots of good restaurants nearby. A lot of colleges and institutes are also nearby so it's ideal for college students. Mitchell St. SW tends to be cleaner and reticent of what Atlanta is all about.

Where to begin. Amsterdam Avenue is not for the faint of heart. There are restaurants everywhere you turn. CUNY, Columbia University, Jewish Theological, a smeltering of public schools and more can be found on Amsterdam. To get a way from the traffic and noise, you can take a stroll in Morningside Park.. St. Luke's is closeby and a few other hospitals within a five mile radius. Traffic can sometimes get uncontrollable and I'd recommend walking everywhere! Last, and definitely not least, Tom's Restaurant on 111 St. is the place to visit for those Seinfeld fans - it's the diner they always go to. Oh, and the Hungarian Pasty Shop is definitely not for those dieting - across from St. John the Divine.

This is a wonderful neighborhood in New York's Upper West Side. 74th ends at Riverside Dr. which is a beautiful place to take a walk. On the other side of 74th you can end up in Central Park West. The roads are not usually too busy until you get closer to Broadway and Amsterdam. The Fairway Market is conveniently close by and banks are relatively easy to get to. There are restaurants all along Broadway or Amsterdam, whichever direction you wish to travel.

Alice's Tea Cup on 73rd is a must see when you move into this neighborhood. They have a great selection of desserts and teas and trinkets. The restaurant even serves delicious food - rare for a tea shop. You get the best of all of Uptown with Amsterdam and Broadway coming together. There are many shops that sell just about anything you can think of - there's never a shortage of what you need. The schools in this area are also high caliber for public schools. There is the Beacon Theater close by for seeing a show. And finally, Central Park West is not too far away if you want to go for a walk.

This Upper West Side Neighborhood is one of the quieter ones. Many of the Upper West Side streets are quiet and are well taken care of. You can walk to the Loews theater or even Central Park when you feel the urge. If you work downtown, you can easily take the 66th Street Lincoln Ctr line. The Telepan restaurant is a definite go to in this neighborhood - with a flair of Italian cuisine. Also Sheep Meadow Cafe serves a delicious variety of American food, located by Central Park West.

The Upper West Side is one of the cleanest parts of NYC. On 69th, there are hotels surrounding this area and is somewhat quiet. Nearby, you can visit the 17 Street Playground, or if you prefer you can walk a few blocks to get to the Loews Movie Theater. Closeby, is the School for Performing Arts, and some wonderful Public Schools. Friendliness is not one of the strong points on this side of town. There is great shopping places along Broadway and Columbusand 66th Street Lincoln Center, again, all within walking distance. And if you want to get away you can walk to Central Park West.

Located off of Riverside Drive, W 78th is a wonderful neighborhood on NY's Upper West Side. On 77th, within walking distance, there is the Tecumseh Playground that has awsome slides and a basketball court. The Planeterium is also at the end of this street. There are at least 2 hotels in this neighborhood alone - great for visiting relatives. The Imperial Court - supporters of Gay/Lesbian activities is also in this neighborhood if this is important for you to know. The Dovetail Restaurant is also close by for those interested in fine dining.

This area of New York is beautiful - well, the Upper West Side tends to be, anyway. There is a wonderful restaurant called Fairway Cafe that specializes in Barbecue. New York Historical Society is also nearby. But best of all, Central Park West is within walking distance. With Broadway just down the street, you are able to shop and eat in the vicinity. Traffic is nothing to brag about, as it does get congested by sightseers. West End Ave is also close by for shopping and restaurants.

West 73rd is in the middle of the Upper West Side. Surrounded by Amsterdam, Broadway, and Central Park West, this is the place where you can find anything in the city. From shopping to restaurants, such as the famous Gray's Papaya - the best hotdogs around, you are never bored. You can walk down the street and be in Central Park West in about 15 minutes. The Beacon theatre is also close by and after a night on the town, you can watch a play. Traffic can get somewhat heavy.

New York City's Oldest museum can be found in this neighborhood along with Central Park. These brownstones are beautiful and the neighborhood is always kept clean. For the shopper, there are dozens of shops along Columbus or Amsterdam. Broadway is just a few minutes away. Most traffic passing through is either for the Planeterium on W 77th or the Historical Museum. It is a relatively quiet neighborhood. For people with kids, there is the Tecumseh playground nearby.

The Hayden Planeterium is just one of the great things about this neighborhood. This is the upper west side so things are done with flair here. The Tecumseh Playground is not your average city park. There are so many things to do - handball, basketball, and the best slides and such. It does get a little tight when school buses bring loads of kids to the park. W 77th is right off of Broadway, so you get the shopping and restaurants of Broadway without the traffic - partly because it is a oneway street. Columbus and Amsterdam do sandwich us in. For exercise you can take a jog down to Central Park West. I love NY!

This area is very nice and stately. The homes are gigantic and there is somewhat of a surburban feel in the middle of Boston. There is not much traffic as it is a cul-de-sac of sorts. Once you get back out on Foster to Washington, you're back in the heart of Boston and all of the accoutrements that go along with that - food and recreation. Gallagher Memorial park is nearby for those interested in exercise. There are some historical churches/cemetaries. Located almost on top of Boston College, it is great for those involved in the college, whether teaching or taking classes.

Myrtle Street is conveniently right in the middle of state buildings. For those interested in African American History, the Boston Museum is right in our backyard.This street is also in walking distance of the famous Boston Common, where you can find great food and boat rides. The Orpheum theatre is also close by for some added entertainment. JP Licks ice cream and a series of Cafes make this location one where entertainment and food is never ending. The Jamaica Pond Lake is a great place to see a variety of parades and cultural events.

Well, just the fact that Louisa May Alcott lived in this neighborhood would be a clue that the houses are somewhat pricey. It is so worth it, with the "square" historic feel and tourists constantly stopping to ask questions. This block is very quiet and ;most travel on foot. There are shops and restaurants within walking distance for those of culinary leanings. The people are very friendly and take pride in their neighborhood. Finally, Boston Common is within walking distance and is a wonderful place to exercise or just hang out.

The actual Ave. de Lafayette is pretty boring - but the neighborhood, wow! You can find anything from Asian (this is Chinatown, you know) to Italian to American. There is a bar called Good Life that is marvelous. For the history buff, you can take a stroll along the Freedom Trail or visit the Central Burying Ground. There are wonderful hotels right around the corner - which I worked at. And finally, it is so conveniently located close to Interstate 93. I loved walking (exercise) around the Park that was near to my job.

There are some great sites in this area. First and most important, there is the N E Aquarium. Then there is Rowes Wharf where you can take boat rides across the sea. And best of all, there are terrific Italian restaurants. On the pier, just a short jump onto the Interstate, there are marvelous clubs and restaurants with, of course, delicious seafood. It is convenient to just hop on the JFK Interpass or 93. Since this is a high tourist area visited location, shopping and eating is not a problem. And don't forget about the Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park!!!!!!!!!

Margin street is really TIGHT! I have gotten my car scraped at least 4 times within the last 1/2 year after parking on that street. Maybe it may be someone that has a beef with me on that street. There is not much traffic, so it is somewhat quiet. Margin Street empties out on a series of other streets until it finally brings you to N Washington. Once on Washington, there is loads of things to do from shopping to eating with its many Italian restaurants to choose from. Or you can easily jump on the Expressway south and go to the N England Aquarium.

Thacher Street is right off of N. Washington - where all the action is. There are wonderful Italian restaurants, shops, unoccupied buildings, and parking garages - just to name a few. Traffic on N Washington is atrocious which sometimes spills out onto Thacher. It is SO convenient to interstates (93). You can literally get on in a NY minute - Yes, I know this is Boston. This part of Boston is great for history buffs, as it is known for all of its architectural buildings and landmarks. Not for the person looking for peace and solace. You rarely find that here.

Now this is considered the North End Little Italy District of Boston. Despite all the Italian Restaurants within walking distance, Mike's Pastry is a welcome respite. It is a few blocks over on Hanover and makes the walk so worth it. There is traffic, constantly for those that say that this is a nice quiet neighborhood. What?!? I really wouldn't recommend for children - in terms of parks, recreational outside activities. But for the one that loves history? This is the place to be! There's the Paul Revere House, great cemetaries and marketplaces.

Hanover Street is located in Little Italy. This section of Boston is very charming and fulling:) The people are somewhat inclusive and don't take well to "tourists". Having just visited there in the summers, I didn't feel a part of the neighborhood. But then again, that just may be the Northeast in general. This area of Boston is somewhat congested, in terms of traffic, and would not be considered the quietest street in the neighborhood - however, it is conveniently near to major highways.

Clark Street is a great place to live because it is so conveniently close to major bridges/tunnels and is relatively easy to get to. There are also great sites, such as the Paul Revere House and Paul Revere Mall (a.k.a a big park - not a shopping mall:) But, this neighborhood is best known for it's Italian heritage - food and Catholic churches. The Old North Church is a site to see if you should ever just want to visit. I am not a fan of Italian food, so I basically had to travel to eat something different.

The East Village is the heartbeat of New York. The East River Park always has special events and is teeming with people during the holidays. This area is definitely not for the one seeking solace. For those interested, there is a Marble Cemetary close by; this is known as the oldest cemetary in New York City. If you walk far enough, you can view the Williamsburg Bridge. Katz's Deli sells the best Pastrami sandwiches - located just off of East 1st. There is definitely not a shortage of restaurants and shopping to do on East 1st. I also purchased some pickles that were to die for at a little shop along East 1st that also sells all types of cheeses and Grecian foods.

8th Avenue, located in West Midtown, is a wonderful place to be in New York - especially around Christmas time. My relatives loved to visit and see all the decorations. Sometimes we would even make a visit to Rockefeller by subway (East Midtown). A visit to Koreatown is within walking distance and there is a restaurant, Kum Gang San, that has absolutely delicious food and it looks like falling rocks inside the restaurant. There are many other restaurants that you can choose from - not only Korean food. If you don't mind a short walk, you can visit Central Park West. And don't forget, you can always catch a fight/game at the Garden, which is right outside your front door!

Living on East 96th is what New York is all about. Riverside Park, known for its fantastic tennis courts, is in the vicinity for those that enjoy playing. This is also a great location for those that want to be near a hospital. You actually have two to choose from. On the west is Mt. Sinai Hospital and on the east is Metropolitan Hospital. Those who love to shop? Just a few block over is Park Avenue. I must admit the traffic was always pretty slow - probably because of the hospital? I would recommend walking for most anything.

This is the ultimate location if you are a fan of Central Park. With Broadway, Amsterdam, and Central Park located in the vicinity, you are never short of an opportunity to catch a show or eat at a five star restaurant. A short walk to the Hayden Planetarium and American Museum of Natural History will give you an enjoyable Saturday. To end a perfect day, go to Cafe Lalo a few blocks away and order one of their scrumptious desserts.

Staying with a friend, this was the one of the best streets I ever lived on! I literally could get on the LIE in about 5 minutes. It is also close to the proverbial 42nd Street which is full bustle! Times Square, Grand Central, etc. If you don't mind a short stroll, you can visit Sushi Yasuda and enjoy a great meal. I would also recommend Convivio, an Italian restaurant worth visiting with delicious food and excellent service. My friend worked at Trump Plaza - she would walk there every morning. There were a lot of retirees living in this neighborhood, so there wasn't much hustle and bustle. And did I mention it is convenient in getting on the LIE?

I must admit, I love the East Village! There is so much to do, see, eat, etc. all in a 3 mile radius! This is definitely the place to be to see all that's hopping. Avenue A and East 10th is where to go for your morning run in Tompkins Park. This park is like a little Central Park and is always teeming with activities, races, etc.
Now, the food. Where do I begin? There is food from all over that is accessible to you. Probably not the best place for older, or those with kids - it does get pretty loud at night - depending who is around you, of course.

Honestly, I don't remember any type of fellowshipping with neighbors and what not when I visited on this street. I do remember the food! There are restaurants up and down the street from all parts of the world. It is a relatively busy street for those seeking peace and quiet.

There is a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful library on this street that I would always visit when in town. Grace Church is a beautiful old church to visit. There are also a number of college dorms along this street - so there is definitely a nightlife, when needed.

Living on West Broadway is great. What I like about it is that is in super close to NYU. Having been a student, I could be at my class within 10 minutes of leaving my apartment. For exercise, I could walk over to Central Park. With Greenwich Village so close, many Saturdays were spent with friends and shopping in this area. Washington Square Park is also a remakable place to stroll around or catch a show.

Delancey Street is in the SOHO district of New York City. It is bustling with culture everywhere you look. The part of Delancey I lived on would be considered a little “rough,” but you can also find some good friends among neighbors. Nobody sleeps on this street, so for those that enjoy peace and quiet, you probably won’t get it. I loved it!

This is the perfect location in all of NYC. With Seward Park just a stone's throw away (at least for NYC), you get the best of both worlds - greenery and shopping! There are so many wonderful shops nearby. The Williamsburg Bridge's lights are remarkable to watch at night. If you're up for a short walk (at least for NYC), Chinatown is filled with great restaurants and shops.

Pine Street is close to freeways, which makes it convenient to get places. It is located in a residential area that is a bit pricey. Presidio Park and Golf Course is nearby for that golf hankering. Also, located close to Old Town which is beautiful and quaint to look at houses from the past.

This is a terrific part of this city. Though there are many tourists, it still has that down home quality. Close to the beach and doesn't get inundated with a lot of rowdiness. Police patrol regularly for safe feature. And did I mention how close you are to the beach? Also, USD is not too far either.

Well, you definitely have to like the beach to live in this part of San Diego; however, it is convenient to the University of San Diego and weekend walks at Tecolate Canyon Natural Park are fantastic. Pretty quiet despite many college students in area. Also conveniently close to all the downtown sights.

Located in the Mission Hills community of San Diego, Alameda is close to Heritage Park and Presidio Park. There is also Presidio Golf Course closeby. Definitely away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but still accessible. Do hear planes an awful lot, more than usual if you didn't live close to airport.

This is a beautiful street found in a "cul-de-sac" type neighborhood. It is away from the bustle of 1st Ave and Balboa Park. Wonderful family area. May be a little pricey for some, but definitely worth the investment. Also, pretty close to SDHS or other private schools in the area.

Going to the University of California, this is a convenient location. Lots of college aged people to hang out with. Located really close to Balboa Park - gigantic - and Marston Mall. Probaby not an area for young kids, as we are a rowdy bunch! Partying is definitely a must when moving into this neighborhood.

Located in the City Heights section of San Diego, Highland Ave is a relatively busy street. Definitely convenient for those that work downtown or points north. If you want to be surrounded by different ethnic groups, this is the place for you. Also, great shoppiing for ethnic foods and convenient to get to without a car. Buses are constantly running and accessible.

This is a wonderful, suburban area that is great for families. The only drawback, if you care is that there is no high school nearby. Students have a choice of SDHS or PLHS. There are also many exceptional private schools. Pringle Street, in Mission Hills section of San Diego, is located in between three popular parks - Balboa (largest cultural park in U.S.), Presidio, and Olive.

Beech street is wonderful for those that love to shop. They are building it up and yearly have festivals to attract consumers. There is an Italian community center and a lot of promotional Italian activities. If you're not Italian, you'll still enjoy the ambience. Can get pretty trashy, congested from all the visiting traffic on Saturdays 9-1:30.

If you want the hustle and bustle, without the smog, confusion, and "cold shoulder" of NY city, G Street, AKA East Village is wonderful. Not only is the weather to die for, but it is about a mile from the San Diego Padres Ballpark. All you Padres fans can be up close and personal with the team. This area is definitely for those that enjoy city life - I’m single so I have no need for all the amenities involved with the suburbs. This neighborhood is also convenient when you have to jump on the expressway - about 3 minutes away.
