----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Hi! This is cross-posted, so please forgive any redundancy. Once again, I'm going to New York City for a research trip and am in need of a sublet (or housesit situation). This time I'm committed to staying about 6 weeks, from mid-August to about the end of September. I don't necessarily need to stay in the same place the whole time, but that would, of course, be preferable. I'll be working regularly in an office at 57th and Broadway. Any place that's an easy subway ride from there would be good. I'm a little reluctant to try to get something out of a regular newspaper. I have tried to contact housing offices at NYU and Columbia but got stonewalled. If anyone there could post my request or relay it to departments to post, I'd appreciate it. Also, if anyone knows of any kind of service that helps visiting artists and scholars in locating temporary housing, that would be helpful, too. *Any* NYC netters, if you know or hear of a place or can ask around, I'd be eternally grateful. Thanks. Meredith McMinn University of California, Santa Barbara. [log in to unmask]
