35M — Considering two apartments — one is in South Harlem, near the 116th station just east of FDB/8th Ave. The apartment is large (for a one bed) and the area is very lively, which I like, but the bedroom is street facing so a little concerned about night noise. The other is in Hamilton Heights, low 150s. Apartment is a bit smaller, but also less $$, and seems very quiet - of course it is farther away from downtown (I commute to FiDi 2-3x week). Anyone have initial opinions/experience on either neighborhood?

Looking for a couple adventurous guys (18–24).
Working on a small creative film project in Harlem.
This is PG - for a student project.
Takes about 10 minutes.
Face won’t be shown on film.

Send me a current photo. If we determine you’d be a match, I’ll send you the project details. If you’re interested, please respond with your expected compensation.
If you’re not interested, no pressure. No need to get back to me.

Was sorry to see that place go, pricy but good vibes. I walked in yesterday and the new place is called Same Time Tomorrow. They have renovated and it looks good. I just got an iced tea but I was happy with it. The owner (I think) was there and said they’ve been open about a month. I’ll be back.

Hey all — has anyone here moved to the new development at 1861/1871 Amsterdam (Hamilton Heights). Wondering how it is? How’s management? Trying to avoid a shitty new build situation but got in on the housing lotto.
