I made it! Here is the map location and screenshot of my new apartment in the Bushwick area of Brooklyn.
Points for consideration:
-All of my posessions fit into a 12 ft. truck... and less if you take into consideration I was also moving the "family furniture'!
-my rent has more than doubled :(
- there is a 24 hour natural food store right by my house :)
-taking the subway and getting around on my own can be very, very confusing (shout out to my iphone for helping me along the way)
-I found an amazing mid-century modern dresser on the SIDE OF THE ROAD (I've never felt so lucky). I promptly enlisted a random neighbor of Santa's to help me carry it down the block.
Thanks to everyone who helped me move!
