i have had a couple of longish stints in NYC (almost a year and another 7 months) + plenty of shorter visits....I was on the upper west side for the longer stays which is less busy and more villagey than downtown + I had the park straight opposite to escape to so easily..its is a magnificent oasis in the centre of the city
