THE BEST PLACES TO LIVE IN NYC / RANKED TOP 50 / HARLEM IS DEAD LAST

NYMAG.COM (full article) has drawn up another list, this time they have ranked NYC livable neighborhoods. This list obviously was not compiled by native New Yorkers, but check it out and let me know if you all agree. Just want to point out some of the hood's that made the list that surprised me where they are placed. HARLEM!! dead last at #50, this is just disrespectful to say the least the history alone should have Harlem at top 10. Congrats! to Sunny Side Queens ranking very high at #3, I attended high school in this neighborhood and it has come along way not my 1st choice but still a great area. Park Slope #1 SMH! great place to put the DSLR to work but not to live unless your living in the Hotel dorms, or can afford paying 2,300 for a 1-2 bedroom. Tribeca #14, this would be my #1 because in Tribeca I can still find an apartment like the one Wayne had in Wayne's world 2.
