Sign that I could be a true New Yorker: despite having landed a VERY reasonably-priced rental apartment in Brooklyn (no fee at that!), I am still poring over the weekend real estate section in search of that elusive perfect home.

I was fooled temporarily. Last weekend it seemed that Manhattan apartment rentals were coming down, and I thought briefly that I had jumped the gun. Uh, right! This week, all the 1BR’s in Chelsea, Gramercy, and the UWS seem to be going for $2k+. Even Park Slope prices are running up… Time to chill out.
