So, yeah, as a Manhattanite, I always feel a little churlish posting on LCF.

This is probably right by US standards, but by New York standards, this neighborhood is very good, but not the best. It's on the edge of Manhattan, so we're not quite in the thick of things, and there's only one convenient subway station. The first time I tried, I misentered an address three blocks to the east, and the walk and transit scores drop a few points.

I entered my childhood home in the suburbs, which got a walk score of 12. The don't bother to give a transit (nonexistent) or bike score (biking actually isn't terrible). However, I actually walked to school and the library when I was in junior high (I lived too close, so there wasn't a school bus), and biked around quite a lot, though there weren't a lot of places to go.
