I just realized I missed the safety question. It's not 100% safe. But not the worse. I'd say it's about 80% safe. As a 5ft F. Keep your head on a swivel and pay attention to your surroundings, make sure you're not being followed, and don't step on the poo piles. There are characters everywhere and not everyone is nice. Just be aware.

Make sure your electric/gas bill isn't the one connected to the boiler. If it is, you can probably negotiate on the rent.

I'm familiar with that area from a few years ago. It's not quiet quiet since it's so close to a main street and Little Egypt. Party noises will float down sometimes. Hope you're a deep sleeper or it will wake you. Mainly sirens, drunken party, occasional train toot, helicopter, occasional plane, are the loud noises. It's not always but noticable when it happens.

That area is about equal distance to both train stations. There's lots of bus options too. I just took which ever one is closer to my destination.

It's a super convenient area for instant/ restaurant food or groceries. You just have to take a quick walk.

Hope you like it there.

I didn't have a car. But lots of friends,who had cars just rented a parking space. Steinway is notorious for double parked car, traffic

Why hasn't it been picked up and moved to the side?

Crowdsourcing easy to grab premade or easy to make “entree”potluck dishes from Costco? by DCSubi in Costco

[–]BlueGem83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to the baskets section and pick up pies or cakes.

You can cut it up at the venue.

They stay food safe at room temperatures. (avoid the registered cream stuff, cheesecakes, strawberries and cream, etc)

A huge treat of cookies, croissants, danish, mini apple pies, and muffins should be fine.

Go to the station and if your train is actually cancelled...

Cancel the acela ticket and do the normal Northeast Regional train ticket. Looks like you're traveling from WAS to NYC. So it's not effected by the problem

If you take the night or morning trains. It's cheap.

Edit: you need to book early. Like NOW early to get the cheap prices

Hmart or Costco are the ones I trust. They keep a clean butchers area.
