City/town information
WEST NEW YORK
I was born in Brooklyn NY and I never thought I would be living in NJ
lol
But I LOVE WNY- West New York. It is a simple place full of foreigners ( mostly Spanish speaking) - It is Safe
The best thing is that the buses run every few minutes from Boulevard East to NYC- right to Port Authority where you can catch so many subways
The bus is a pleasant ride into the city- with breathtaking views on the NYC skyline.
The park along Boulevard East is lovely- great for a walk, jog or bike ride - or just to sit and marvel at the NYC view.
If I could choose anyplace outside NYC to live this would be it.
