[Rhodes22-list] Hey Bill Effros, NYC Question

[iweb86 at aol.com]

Brad,
 
This may be late but felt this might help. I am haveing to make thse same type of plans for Irvine CA.
 
Considering I lived in the Bronx next to Fordham I thought I might be able to help. AS Mike said I would make sure you knew where the graduations is. I just looked and it looks like there are multiple sites.
 
As for housing I would suggest you look at a site called craigslist. www.craigslist.com. It is a site the "Kids" use for housing and other needs. 
 
Best of luck enjoy the Bronx.
 
Scott Scharf

Brad They have 3 locations, Is the most likly location is the bronx(but I would check), it is best reached with metro north but the subway(and some walking, it near the zoo and the batcaical garden) will do in a pinch. That said. That said get a hotel in Manhattan, above 34 st and below 96st, from york ave to 9th ave. Your best bet is to use any of the travel web sites to shop it, but be aware of the stars rating thier are still some welfare holels in the area range. 
 
Stay out of the bronx at night, Fordham area is so-so at best and goes down hill real fast to the left and right(the nicer area above the parks you will not see), the good news the mumder rate is down city wide, please try to keep it that way.
