Either that or they take to the streets...

It’s not as upscale as the Upper East Side but, yes, it is a nice part of town. When we travel to NYC, we usually stay near W. 79th and Broadway.

Dallas area rents are maybe 20% of those in NYC, plus you get more for your money. I’m sure we have rats somewhere, but they don’t jump into baby carriages.

I would only stop in NYC to catch a connecting flight to somewhere else.
