He had a job as a mentor with an arts group, where his musical prowess, gentle nature and street smarts counted. Seeley was within reach of a modest, steady life. Keshawn Seeley took one of these.Ĭhildhood was eight brothers and sisters, hip-hop dreams, a drunken father, foster care and juvenile detention, but at age 19, Mr. And some seek other ways out, ways that do not put your name on a T-shirt or a mural. Plenty of people stay, working, making quiet lives or focusing their energies close to home. Two kinds of exits from tough projects like the Pink Houses make people take notice: In the first kind, a ballplayer or rap star gets rich in the second kind, a hustler dies trying. To a young man, it can seem as if the only jobs around belong to the officers on patrol and the cooks at the fried chicken restaurant on Linden Boulevard. Pink project in East New York, Brooklyn, squat brick towers turned inward around concrete pathways. Go deep into pockets and say somewhere nicer.They call it the Pink Houses, short for the Louis H.
Sad to see! Overall would not ever pick this hotel. Across the street is the church that houses homeless people, so there lying all along the street. The side entrance to hotel smells like garbage and urine. The hotel did however credit our account to make up for the inconvenience which was appreciated. We had to sit and wait in the lobby for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Parked our car in the underground parking, when we checked out early morning to get ahead for the traffic, we were told the parking garage wasn’t open until 6am. Family of 5 and the room was not stocked with enough towels or toilet paper. Bathroom was just gross, wore my flip flops in the shower, no shampoo/conditioner, just 2 tiny bars of soap, hair dryer was about to die. Hallway to room very dark, room was old, dirty stained carpet, even got stained comforter and blanket had a cigarette burn in it. Very noisy, hard to sleep ( even had ear plugs in) my fault for picking location. How sad is that for a place that has had so much written about it in song, poetry and script. To those individuals You are truly vile people who simply shame the entire city with your actions and the rest of you who tolerate such open behaviour including the law makers, GET A GRIP!!! It would take an extraordinary reason for me to ever return to NYC which is a pity because as a Brit, I absolutely love the USA but unfortunately NYC lessens its charm and appeal. The extraordinary lengths some will go to extract your hard earned money beggars belief. There is nothing cool or creditworthy about being rude, or arrogant. It seems like they love to trade on the cities fame without ever wanting to input into its future in a positive way. But my main gripe is the 'so called' indigenous New Yorkers. Cost prohibitive theatre tickets even at cut price. Real bad points!!! Outrageous prices for simplest of things. (defo take the Staten Island ferry as it is free) You know the rest of the story for main attractions. Sure it has the Empire state building at +$45 a trip just to see the place from an elevated point of view and the ferry trips. Once the wow factor of the enormity of the structures wears off and you are bored with the 'novelty' value of the place, there is little to attract a visitor. From budget hostels, to trendy apartments, to top-notch luxury hotels, offers a variety of accommodations so you will always find the best solution for your New York trip. Kennedy and LaGuardia airports make travelling to downtown easy and taking a train into Grand Central Station is yet another sight to see. The Fifth Avenue and its luxury shopping is the place to be for all the Carrie Bradshaws and other fashionistas of the world. The restaurants here are among the best in the world but be sure you try city’s famous hot dogs too. Nearby Central Park attracts joggers, walkers and picnickers all year around who want a little break from NYC’s frenetic pace. New York’s busy Times Square is the world's most visited tourist attraction and never fails to mesmerize with its impressive neon lights. Don’t forget to visit the top of the Empire State building and admire the great city panorama and iconic skyline. Whether you want to see chic Manhattan, culturally diverse Brooklyn or the birthplace of hip hop in the Bronx, you can count on city’s reliable subway or iconic yellow cabs that will take you there in no time. So why not explore the Big Apple to its core with a Broadway show, a game at Yankee Stadium or a ferry ride to the Statue of Liberty?
