Kelly M’s guide to affordable Brooklyn neighborhoods | My First Apartment
There are a lot of reasons to take a look at Brooklyn if you’re moving to New York on your own. The commute can be easy if you work downtown, the nightlife is so good you’ll go whole weekends without seeing the city, and Brooklyn has enough character to fit into three normal-sized U.S. cities, not to mention outstanding art museums and galleries that would be a lot more well-known if they weren’t sitting in the shadow of Manhattan. The only problem with Brooklyn is the well-known fact that the best neighborhoods are becoming as pricy as their counterparts on the other side of the East River. For those who are new to the city and done with roommates, here are a few places to check out in Brooklyn where studios can still be found in a price range that doesn’t require a trust fund. Greenpoint. Brooklyn’s Polish neighborhood to the north of trendy and expensive Williamsburg offers decent prices on apartments that are still within walking distance of the Bedford Avenue bar scene.
People arrested by NYPD are taken first to the precinct house where the arrest occurred. In most cases, within 4 to 6 hours they are taken to Central Booking (telephone (718) 935-9249) for processing (in a very few cases for minor arrests of people who have good ID, they are issued a Desk Appearance Ticket and released from the precinct house, and will appear before a judge at a later date). Once all the paperwork and processing is completed at Central Booking (which is in the basement of the Criminal Court Building), they are held for arraignment, which is an appearance before a judge.
