punch in your address and you can see all kinds of stats on your building and neighborhood. You can do things like show the closest park, or library, or wifi hotspot. It will also tell you all the community info like who your reps are, which community board you are in and so forth.

I think they had an old version of this before but it was pretty much unusable, this one is pretty good.

wifi hotspot!
who knew that the McDonald´s
on 4th Ave in PS had (Fee-Based) wifi
:shock:

Very clever!

This is a great resource and much easier to cope with than information found on the Department of Health & Mental Hygiene's website.

this is great for telling which subway stop is the closest.

I like the census data, and it would be interesting to see how it has changed today from the information which was posted in 2000 (i.e. rent, property values, income levels, etc.)

Also great if you're shopping around to rent/buy...nearest school links are particularly good for the kid-havin' crowd.

definitely cool. The wifi hotspot option pulled up a place I didn't even notice--Cafe Sutra. Anyone been there?
