Jacking up the car

I swapped out my starter on the weekend and realized how annoying it was to work with a jack and a jackstand on the left front "lip" and the frame (right behind the left front tire) where you would normally hoist a car up from. So I was wondering if there are any more convenient places to jack the car up such as the brace in between the cross members? I know I can use the diff at the back but is there a nice place in the front that is more centered?
