"Gotham’s astonishingly diverse Jackson Heights neighborhood in Queens gets the Wiseman treatment, offering rewards on macro and micro levels." It opens next week.

Neighborhood Chat / 7 train commute the last couple of days
« on: February 03, 2015, 09:03:17 AM »
Jackson Heights neighbors -

If you had a particularly memorable commute the last few days because of the state of our public infrastructure, whether on the 7 or otherwise, please drop me at line at work. Reuters is working on a story this morning about why an umbrella can make thousands of people late for work, state and federal budget priorities, etc. Now's your chance to vent!

nick.zieminski@reuters.com. Or contact correspondent Barbara Goldberg at 646-223-6263.

Some pictures of Colombia fans at the 82nd Street station on Tuesday night. A happy crowd:

Real Estate & Home Improvement / Cabinet maker
« on: July 16, 2010, 08:18:38 AM »
could someone please recommend a reasonably-priced custom cabinet maker in the area? We're looking to build some storage space for a child's bedroom, and it's a custom job because of some unusual space requirements.

Thanks in advance!

Neighborhood Chat / Interactive map of income levels by neighborhood - JH included
« on: December 02, 2009, 10:08:25 PM »
Hello,

I came across this interactive map -- http://envisioningdevelopment.net/map -- of the city, which shows the number of households in several income groups. Clicking on Jackson Heights, for example, shows median household income was just over $50K in 2006 in JH, less than two-thirds of the citywide median income, and less than one-third of the income on the Upper West Side. An interactive feature also shows what types of rents families in different income groups can afford.

Pretty interesting stuff.

Hi Gabby,

A number of parents use Dr. Flavia Marino or one of her colleagues in a small practice with a good reputation on Broadway and 72nd, just a few steps from all those great food carts. My own kids have gone there since infancy. The office number is 718-426-6655.

Pets and Animals / Looking to adopt a young dog
« on: November 24, 2009, 02:44:09 PM »
hello,

My family and I are looking to adopt a young dog (less than 1 year) and would like to visit a shelter in Queens that does not require a car to get to. Since my kids are 5 and 2, prefer a place that won't be scary for the little one. Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.
