"Alphabet City".
Below 14th and Houston, the island is wide enough for extra avenues east of 1st, so they have letters instead of numbers. (Below Houston, there's no grid.)
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Thanks, Tom. I love the satellite maps.
I want to live in New York. Silly MiL. Why couldn't the job offer had been there?

Most of Alphabet City is a long hike to any subway stop, and traditionally was one of the skankiest parts of Manhattan, although that has changed a lot in the last decade.

Because the publishing industry here has run out of money.

You know 17 cats in a single family home -- of say 3 bedrooms would be ALOT of cats.
17 cats in an apartment?
No, I can't imagine.

It's also where "Rent" was set.
ION, argh. My rice cooker seems to be broken, and I don't have enough pots to make rice and the rest of dinner at once.

Deb's got something like 13 in her & Nic's flat, but she's also one of the best housekeepers I've ever met. There's taking care of a lot of animals, and then there's living like one. I think this lady (if the ad's real), is in the second category.

There's a good chance that someone's reported her to the Health and/or Animal Control departments by now.
