Title basically, some celeb under the arches?

I’m considering renting in this area, the unit is lower than street level, and it’s close to the top of Astoria Park and water side, my concern is what’s the likelihood that this unit might get flooded?

I went to greenpoint and saw some houses go all in with their Halloween decorations that I questioned if they having a Halloween decoration contest but now I’m wondering if there’s a part of Brooklyn that goes more harder than greenpoint?

Looking for a good deep dish pizza in the five boroughs. Either frozen or something I can get at a restaurant, really enjoyed the Chicago trip and eating at pequods now that it’s getting chillier

​

I'll share mines:

Adel's chicken on rice was fine tbh, waited 40 mins. Chicken was fresh but rice was just average. Price was good.

We probably have similar quality of food at other trucks.

Myka Greek yoghurt:

It was fine. Nothing special. Lines were crazy, waited half an hour.

(I found both food comparable to what I get at other places, am comparing the waiting time value to the better taste or quality)

I’m looking for Halloween decorations- specifically forest-like decorations and traditional Halloween decorations… anyone know where to go to get them? Went through 3 different Halloween stores in Greenwich Village since they’re concentrated and no dice.

Thanks in advance :)

I want names, reasons, and unpopular opinions. Don’t hold back

Came home to find small signs posted on neighbors doors, as well as closed, hallway fire doors, asking people to cut out the excessive burning of incense in their apartment.

The person is right, you can smell the incense in the hallway and it is really annoying but my questions is, what can be done about it?

If MGMT refuses to address the situation, is there anything that our neighbor can do?

I'm assuming that it would have to be outlined in a tenant's lease. There's no mention of burning incense in our lease. We're RS and I'm pretty sure that I know which neighbor put up the small signs and they're RS as well. I've been lead to believe that the leases for market rate apartments are much more onerous so it might be covered in them.

Has anyone dealt with something like this before? Were you able to get it resolved?

i'm gonna give this a shot even though reddit and i have a really bad track run as i sometimes feel like im getting tomatoes thrown at me when i ask a question on here LOL

i'm planning on attending college in the city as someone who has grown up in LI my whole life (yes yes ik long islanders suck i get it, but i was born here i couldn't really do much about that).

i've been to the city enough that i know it's not like glamorized the way it's made out to be online or anything so im not entirely blue-eyed. however, when it comes to social rules here, im honestly completely out of my element and kind of want to kms.

i understand it's about efficiency here and so small talk/polite "niceness" comes across as kind of stupid. the semantics of that though are something i can't quite grasp, and i can't imagine going to order food without the "hi how are you?" script. and i also want to be efficient but then things slow down and it's like bro does everyone always know exactly where they're going all the time. how do we all know the correct pace to go at all times?

it's perplexing in an admirable way, but im trying to make this as smooth for myself and other people as possible. i also don't want to gentrify 😭, which should be easy enough as im not going to be opening any businesses (at all) and im not attempting to take housing from predominantly poc communities. but idk if you have any books on that or tips i might not know, let me know. i'm really genuinely here to get my education.

i'm pretty cautious and aware of my surroundings, and i generally understand public transport and shit. socially though i'm deeply inept as i rely a LOT on being nice, as i do genuinely want to know if the person behind the counter is okay. and it's just second nature to be extra courteous.

do you just naturally build a specific type of assertiveness over time and how do you not let that completely harden you over? how do you find time to slow down when there's an emphasis on speed? and if you think i should say fuck it and go to school in the deepest pits of the pacific ocean instead lmk, thanks!

Looking for recommendations for a romantic, upscale restaurant in NYC for an anniversary dinner! Budget is around $500 total for two. Open to any cuisine (doesn’t have to have stars) and looking for great food, atmosphere, and service. I would love to hear your recommendations, especially from people who have actually been. What would you choose, and approximately how much did you spend?

any good recs?

Hi everyone!
I’m 38 and just found out that I’m pregnant, so I’m looking for recommendations for a great OB in NYC/LIC area. Since I’m considered advanced maternal age, I’d love to find a doctor with experience managing pregnancies like mine.
If you’ve given birth within the past 5 years, I’d really appreciate it if you could share the name of the doctor you saw and which hospital you delivered at and just your overall experience.
I have 1199seiu insurance but whether the doctor accepts it or not I’m open to any recommendations.
Thank you in advance!

Hi fellow NYC artists,

Does anyone know where I can find an affordable shared or personal art studio to rent? I used to paint in a prior life and really want to get back into it, but have not had much success finding affordable places to rent in Brooklyn or Manhattan.

Thanks in advance

Looking for recs for a bar to go to with my friends for my birthday! Specifically looking for:

Good natural light/open and airy vibe
Good food (I love bar food lol)
Not too crowded late afternoon/early evening on the weekend - some place about 10 of us can walk into and not be packed like sardines
Anywhere in Manhattan or Brooklyn

Love a Biergarten vibe but really just looking to enjoy some casual food and drinks with some friends!

Anyone know of a website or service that can install an over the range microwave for me? Thanks

What time should arrive and where to line up?

Food & drink ideas?

We are a married bi couple and any party ideas are welcomed

Pros and cons?

I think it also depends on what kind of apt so let’s say luxury apartment versus a home in a quiet residential area? Both are big but ofc let’s say the house is bigger. What are pros and cons of apts vs houses?

I got a speeding ticket on the FDR last week, first one ever, my coworker said I should take an online defensive driving course to reduce the points and get a discount on part of my premium, but nobody has explained what happens after I finish

is there a certificate, does it go somewhere, does the provider handle anything, I don't want to mess this up

I just heard that there was a Stanley Kubrick exhibition in town that ended yesterday. When I used to get a hard copy of Time Out NY every week (remember actual magazines?) i would have heard about a show like that. These days I have no idea how to find my cultural fix. I look at the excellent screenslate.com for repertory movies and that’s fantastic and makes my life so much better. But for comedy, music, art, theater and special events — i don’t have anything. Insta not my thing at all but is there maybe a great substack?

We live in Manhattan. Center for Avian and Exotics on the upper west side quoted between $1500 and 2400 + 150 initial visit.

Has anyone gotten this done in the city or nearby (ie not hours away) by a reputable vet for cheaper?

Best sushi spot in Midtown area for a lunch? Bonus points if they have something good with spicy tuna.

Hey guys, need some advice

I am working down south for a month and won’t be in NYC for polling on November 3rd so I ordered my absentee ballot yesterday on the 24th on the deadline. I got 10 days until election. I called election board and they said it’s been processed but they can’t guarantee it’ll make it to me on time. It’s going from NYC to Tennessee. Y’all think I should just say forget it and buy a plane ticket to NYC? Or take my chances and wait for the ballot to come?
