Anyone interested in Manhattan real estate will find this a useful resource. As a seasoned real estate agent in the rental and sales spheres, I have found that people don't know all they need to know when making critical decisions. Reading the New York Times or Time Out New York only gives snippets of a very large picture. Coming together and discussing the issues involved will certainly help navigate the maze that is New York!

If You Can't Find A Good Man, Raise One! Urbandictionary.com defines a cougar as a female who is in her 30's and older and is in her sexual prime who prefers to hunt than be hunted.
