Dear Phyllis,

Don't know about the salary, but my wife and I lived the New York area for
close to 25 years (late sixties to early nineties) and we think that either
Gramercy Park or Murray Hill would make good locales. So we're talking
about the East Side between about 18th Street and 42nd Street. If you have
access to a copy of The Encyclopedia of New York City you could look up the
two neighborhoods and see how apropos they seem. One touch that might be
interesting is the fact that the Players Club, although a province  of men
only, was on Gramercy Park. Also one of my alma maters, the American
Academy of Dramatic Arts, was located near the Murray Hill area and when I
went there in the late sixties there were residential halls for drama
students close by. I imagine it was much the same in the thirties.

You might want to poke around in various online sources in New York, such
as web pages for the Public Library and the City of the Museum of New York.

Good luck,

David Minor
