How do people in New York city decorate their place?




RexD


Was wondering how they decorate their apartment or condo. What type of wall hangings and figurines do they buy? (I have seen in movies that some have catholic parafanalia on wall, also some have superman like in seinfeld.) I am wanting to make my apartment look like from new york city.


Answer
Ummmm...this isn't a cult. People who live here all have different ideas about decorating their places.

I, for one, would not have Catholic paraphernalia because...well...for one...I'm Jewish.

And these days, I mostly decorate in kid related mess, since I have two children. Oh, also our decorating style runs towards the "Early Book" style since I'm a teacher and my husband is a professor. (We have bookshelves all over the house, and there are books on almost every surface. Newspapers, too.)

But everyone is very different here. There is no one design aesthetic. You have been watching wayyyyy too much TV!

How old can a child be legally allowed to stay home alone in Manhattan, New York?


Answer
It depends on the child due to their "special needs" or "emancipation" status.

You can read my article on "Living Alone in New York" for more info.

Also, here is a check list from OCFS to determine if a/your child can be left alone.

If possible, become good friends with neighbors who has kids around the same age so you can alternate watching each other kids so if you have a emergency and have to run out, it will be a bit easier to rely on someone or look for a sitter near to you.

Hope I've helped.
