Kew Gardens

Speaking of homes... this is my home away from home. My crashpad in New York is located in Kew Gardens, not too far from JFK and La Guardia airports. There is reliable public transportation to JFK and frequent pay shuttles to both. I love this quaint little neighborhood. It has just about everything you could need... I love that I can have my dirty clothes laundered for me for five bucks... ten feet out my front door. I love that I can go next door to that and have fresh, quickly made Chinese food... a meal big enough for two and still only pay five bucks. I can also go to the corner diner and have meals with courses from A to Z... guess what, still just five or six bucks.

There is an old movie theatre just down the street that shows many new releases as well as indies. One of the current indies there that I am interested in is called "Sophie School." It's about a courageous school girl in Nazi Germany. I think, however, I am going to see Crash there tonight. I want to know what was so ground breaking about it that it stole the Oscar from Brokeback Mountain.

Anyway... there is a Dunkin Donuts minutes away, a nice deli, dollar store and much, much more. All within a five minute walk. I just love it. It helps me to realize that I really would love inner-city living.
