May potentially move to NYC with a job in Midtown. Thoughts on living in FiDi and commuting to midtown by biking the E River Pkway? I love biking.

I would bike up the west side highway. The e river bike lane is a nightmare comparatively. That’s just my FIDI living two cents. :) Also, as someone who used to bike to work, consider you will sweat, need to change, shower if it’s hot. I had a separate room to clean up in at work when I used to bike in; something to think about.
Agree with LIC as an option. There’s a ferry that goes to 34th street now!

UES or UWS would be cool too

Am I the only one who would not bike to work because of the likelihood of profusely sweating? Regular riding not involving going to work, fine...but I wish I could do what you do OP!

I second taking the west side up instead of the east side - west side is much nicer. I run and bike both sides all the time for leisure, not for a commute.

I’m actually thinking of moving to Fidi and saving $1000 a month from where I am now lol. It is kind of dead and quiet but such a short trip up to Soho, EV, WV, Chelsea

24F, moving to NY for a year or so for work. Originally, I was looking in WV, Chelsea, Soho etc to live more downtown, ideally in a luxury building. While I can afford it, I travel a lot personally and am having a hard time justifying the high rent if I’m going to be in and out. Trying to decide if I should find a roommate for the more downtown spots, or go to UWS, really liked it and could be cheaper? For people who travel a lot and live in NY, which neighborhoods and how do you budget?
