Real estate blog Brick Underground reports this week about “Kathryn” a Seattle transplant who moved to the Big Apple to pursue a career in the movie business. Initially landing here on the Lower East Side, she quickly found that her work schedule didn’t mesh too well with the 24/7 Snookification of the area. “At any given hour, I could walk less than a block to anything from a speakeasy to meeting “Jersey Shore” wannabe’s at a bridge-and-tunnel bar.” She adds, “At 5 am, I wasn’t drunkenly balancing between my high heels and my friends. I was fighting those exact drunk people for a cab to get to movie sets.”
Quicker than you can say “non-starter” Kathryn found a share on Montague Street and happiness here in Brooklyn Heights (with the caveat that Crumbs doesn’t hold a candle to LES hot spot Sugar Sweet Sunshine). She makes note of something WE should try sometime, “Brooklyn Heights is convenient, but my absolute favorite has to be that I can call Lucali’s Pizza and during the time it takes to pick up some wine and walk to Carroll Gardens, they’ll usually have a table ready and waiting for me.”
