The property tax abatement on my condo is phasing out. My property taxes went up 500% this year.

Bummer! I patronized Sunrise Mart, Panya, and Angel's Share.

Damn, went to Angel's Share a few months back when I was in town.

Does this mean sunrise mart is going under too?

Sunrise Mart still has a few other locations in the city, so I want to say no?

I'm not sure how accurate this info is, but Tony Yoshida is listed as the president of Sunrise Mart and may be the same Yoshida family that runs Angel's share. They also have a bar in Industry City called Oldies.

Aside from the two bars, Yoshida Restaurant Group also runs Village Yokocho — the restaurant that leads to East Village’s Angel’s, and Kyo Ya, also in the same neighborhood. Then there’s also the second speakeasy that’s down the street from Angel’s, on Stuyvesant Street, only open on the weekends. Considered one of the original modern speakeasies in NYC, Angel’s was opened by Erina’s father, Tony in 1993, and it remains popular today.

I wonder if the Angel's Share Annex a few doors down is impacted by this lease expiration. Don't recall if it's the same building or not.

Longshot but does anyone have any advice for moving to the city? I am moving to NYC in April and am totally flabbergasted by the (1) high prices on the (2) slim stock of apartments right now. Looking on sites like Streeteasy and Zillow, I've never lived in NYC before so I am feeling super intimidated about how to find a place that totally doesn't destroy my budget.

My friends live in Hoboken and they like it. Maybe look at areas on the NJ side that’s right near NYC.

All those people on the west side of Manhattan are paying big bank for a view of Hoboken. You can live in Hoboken for less and have a view of Manhattan!
