I know, and I know the $4K was an exaggeration for a walkup studio (but not by that much). I did find it a little funny that the writer, with a chance to list three great things about living in Manhattan, picked pharmacies as #2. I think it was the writer who said that, not Canha himself. And I was really just talking about Manhattan, and particularly Manhattan below 110th St., not the five boroughs as a whole. With my girlfriend now in Astoria, I get back probably about ten times a year, and I'm glad I do. And, yay Canha for choosing the city over the burbs and taking the 7 train to work.
