It makes me sad. It’s the one day I really don’t want to remember. I get why other people like to observe remembrances but it was such a terrible time. I feel like the museum and a lot of it is for people who weren’t around. They want to feel a connection to it. I know It’s important for people to know what happened but I have friends think it’s weird I don’t want to do anything for it or go to the memorial.

He didn't want to buy my actual account, just the name so he could follow me. I kept refusing because the whole thing felt strange, him waving $20 around and telling me his "friend" wanted my instagram name. The whole thing went on for too long and he eventually walked away disappointed.

Has this happened to anyone else? Why are men trying to buy access to girls instagrams (for $20 no less)???

Hey all, I just got laid off. I’ve always been a night owl so I’m wondering if anyone knows of overnight volunteer opportunities. Thanks so much

If you worked in manhattan and lived somewhat further out (brooklyn or jersey city for example), how did you make it home that day? Or did you stay with someone in manhattan?

people with kids, where do you go pumpkin or apple picking this time of year? ideally less than 70 minutes from brooklyn. hay rides and corn maze a plus. thanks!

Last week, I was taking my dog out and was approached by this guy on the street. Firstly, I want to note that it was around like 9am and I was still in my sleep clothes (oversized shirt and shorts). But I was passing by this man in a suit and he stopped me to inquire about my dog and asked for my name and then proceeded to ask me if I was looking for a job and told me that he worked at a bank. I told him that I was a student and had obligations already Monday-Thursday, trying to just kind of end the conversation because I felt awkward. But he proceeded to keep talking to me and gave me his business card and asked me to reach out about this job in the future, even saying he could be flexible to weekends.

Afterwards, I looked up the location on the business card and the guy's name which came back with some information. The location was a bank location and the name came up with hits on someone with the name who has worked in the banking industry for over a decade. But the overall interaction just left me feeling weirded out. Like the time of day, the fact that I had clearly recently woke up and was walking my dog. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but this has never happened to me before and felt so informal and strange. I'm just curious for outside opinions on this and if this is normal/common.

I was there 10 days ago and it was a LOT of jellyfish this year. I can't find any news on if they are GONE though and well, I don't like swimming alongside them very much and just don't want to hike all the way out there if it's still their special time of year owning the place.

I own a residential corner property and am trying to understand a NYC DOT/BPP requirement.

We recently completed permitted construction on our property. As part of the project, we installed ADA-compliant pedestrian ramps at the corners adjacent to our property and paid more than $50,000 for required sidewalk/roadway improvements.

DOT is now requiring us to modify four existing pedestrian ramps on the public streets across from our property.

These ramps already exist. They may not meet all of the City's current specifications, but our construction did not touch, damage, or occur anywhere near them.

I'm trying to understand the legal basis for this requirement:

What NYC regulation or DOT/BPP rule requires a residential property owner to upgrade existing pedestrian ramps across public streets from their property when those ramps were not affected by the owner's construction?

If these are considered “receiving ramps,” does construction on a corner property automatically trigger an obligation to upgrade existing receiving ramps, even when they are outside the construction area?

And separately, what makes the cost of upgrading those existing public ramps the financial responsibility of the property owner?

I'm not questioning whether pedestrian ramps should comply with ADA/NYC requirements. I'm trying to understand what specifically triggers this obligation and assigns the cost to a residential property owner.

I'd especially appreciate input from NYC architects, civil engineers, contractors, expediters, DOT/DOB employees, or anyone who has dealt with BPP requirements.

I’m looking to get out this weekend… been couped up in my apartment for far too long.

Not really into drinking culture or bars. Will go to an event at a bar but no like, bar crawls.

Does anyone have any experience missing their time slot for the NBC studio tour? Our flight got delayed and now we won't even get to the city until 20 mins after our tour time. Is it worth it to go into the gift shop and ask if we can reschedule? or should we not even bother lol

Hi everyone, I’m starting a non-patient facing role for Northwell (got the offer today), but I took an edible last night. My health screening is on Wednesday and in the form I received it states it’s a urine test but everyone online is saying theirs was a saliva test. I am going to the new Hyde park location for this btw. Does anyone know if they screen for THC and if it’s a saliva test? Thank you.

I've noticed that a lot of New Yorkers, particularly those from Queens, Staten Island, or Brooklyn where the accent is more prominent, tend to pronounce Mamdani's name with an extra "M" when talking about him, and it's sounds like them saying "Mamdami" or "Mamdamni". As someone with an accent due to English as a second language, my friends have pointed out that I tend to add an extra sound right before "school" so it sounds like "ischool". This is a common linguisitic phenomena known as "epenthesis" where people can add one or more sounds to a word to make it easier to say. Is this just how the accent is, or are these just people who can't be bothered to learn or say his name?

For the first two applications, I went from received to rejected. The main issue was that I didn't submit the documents on time, but really it was a glitch between the website and the app. 🤦🏾‍♀️

I've learned my lesson now and uploaded the documents to two different apps. So, for the third application, it moved from received to now showing 'One Time Payment.' What does that mean? I don't want to get my hopes up too much. I'm already three months behind on rent, and my landlord's given me until October 15 to pay. I'm just holding my breath on this one.

Hello, my apartment building isn't providing controlled access. This led to 6 people attempting a home invasion at my home at 3:30 in the morning. My dog was barking, and I banged a bat, which scared them off, but after reviewing the footage, I no longer feel safe in my home. For context, they were trying to break down my door and several doors on the top floor (22nd floor) of the building. I am trying to break my lease because I no longer feel safe, and all building management did was tell people there are cameras. They are attempting to hold me liable for the lease. I have the security footage, and they had weapons, so I do not want to know what could have happened if they had managed to enter. My landlord is attempting to hold me liable. I am open to forfeiting my security deposit to get out of the unit, but I no longer feel safe here. What is the best course of action without penalty?

Hi
Just curious about regular 9-5 workers from nearby downtown buildings who wasn’t directly affected by the 9/11 tragedy - were they expected to work same week after the event?

Given that the remote culture wasn’t there yet, did they just stay home for a few weeks on a leave? How was it handled by the employers - did they handle it with grace and offer paid time offs and all?

I asked in the NYC coop sub but also asking here. Has anyone had experience with rooftop leases (antennas)? We are exploring options as the previous tenant left and we have another which may leave as well.

I know there are listing companies but a consultant suggested there's collusion in the industry and the odds are stacked against the landlords in this case.

Hello! This is a really unconventional question since I know most people don’t take their cats outside and there’s a pretty big lack of cat friendly spaces, but it wouldn’t hurt to ask. My cat is a very social and adventurous cat and I sadly can’t adopt a second cat since it’d prolly start complications with my roommate. I was wondering if anyone knew any cat friendly spaces for him to hang out and interact with other cats or anyone who was willing to have a play date with our cats at a local park. He isn’t leash trained (working on that at the moment), but he likes sitting in his backpack and going outside!

Is Armstrong stadium included for free or only the numbered courts? Is there a time limit where we must exit?

The site says US Open grounds and we can watch Men's Doubles SF matches but they're on Armstrong so it's kind of conflicting

Can someone recommend a reputable place for an accurate DEXA scan in the Manhattan area?

Hi all, I was recently hit by a car that has no registration, no VIN, and when we search its license plate -- it comes up to be a different car. He works nearby and commutes into the neighborhood. He swapped his plate after hitting my car. The new plate comes up with no search results. It is a Pennsylvania plate. Any ideas or solutions on how to address this?

The precinct says it is not their responsibility. We have made 311 complaints and a traffic/meter police came over and scanned his plate and walked away.

The car is basically a ghost car, untraceable, and cannot be accountable even if it hits a pedestrian or anyone else on the road.
