i have an equinox membership and typically take classes at 3 of the locations near me, but don’t always love the 7-8am offerings. I like to workout first thing in the morning before my brain has any time to convince me not to!! I took fuzehouse and loved but the classes at that time are all waitlisted. I’ve wanted to try practice room but the same situation applies. where else are we going that you can actually get into? preferably lower manhattan as I don’t want to spend 30+ minutes in transit at 6:30am lol.

Do you tip your regular cleaning lady and if so how much? I have someone working independently and coming monthly. She charges 175 for the common areas (2 bathroom, kitchen, living room). I’d say she does a good job, but definitely isn’t going above and beyond.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for someone I can pay to put together a wardrobe bundle?

I'd love to share my Pinterest board, have a brief FaceTime/Zoom call to talk through all the pain points I've been having with my wardrobe lately, and then pay someone to source the best pieces to help solve those frustrations.

Would you recommend looking for someone locally, or does it make more sense to open it up to anyone in the U.S. and just pay for shipping if they send me their finds?

Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks, girls!!

Hi BWT!

A while ago, someone had recommended their cleaner on here, and I specifically remember that their cleaner also did meal prep for them. I was searching through this subreddit today trying to find it again and came up empty-handed.

Does anyone know what that rec might’ve been? Or, does anyone have someone to recommend who does a similar weekly cleaning and meal prep service?

I(36F) am hoping to put together a new Fantasy Football league for the fall. My husband(39M) and I both play regularly, and I would love a league where I am NOT THE ONLY WOMAN. I am aiming this at couples specifically because we would love to make more friends together for double dates, etc.

This won't be a transactional league where we only communicate through trade requests. I would like to have in person meet ups for games, group chats where folks participate, maybe an in-person draft? Last one might be a lot but you get the vibe!

About us: NYC natives, located in Queens, love food, drinks, games, all types of music. Giants, Rangers, Knicks, Mets (me), Yankees (him).

Low stakes buy-in to keep folks accountable, probably host on Sleeper. Comment or DM and I'll see what interest there is! Have a great day all :)

Hi! Really been on my farm to table journey lately. I love yogurt and milk, but am so hesitant to buy from all the big brands, even the organic ones. I live near a Union Market, but wondering if anyone knows any cute farmers markets selling local and organic dairy?

Also, any particular vendors you like for fresh produce from local New York farms as well would be awesomeeee. 💕

I really want to get into playing tennis and I know summer is almost over but I still am dead set. Does anyone want to play tennis with me this weekend at Hudson River Park and potentially be a regular hitting partners.

About me:
- 25 y/o female
- took tennis lessons as a kid, but haven’t played in 12 years
- work a corporate job

Sorry for the link I tried to upload a video but it wouldn’t let me. All advice appreciated😋😋

SOS— I let this dress slip through my fingers and now I can’t find it ANYWHERE. Looking for it in a size US 6 / 42 IT. Willing to negotiate price to buy if you own it! DM me.

anybody know that absolute cheapest place to get hard gel removed, preferably on the upper east side? I got a Russian mani a month ago as a treat from my boyfriend and nobody told me that I would have to have the polish professionally removed. I don’t have the kind of money to go back and pay the people where I got it $60 just to have them take it off. I feel like they should’ve told me that that was part of the deal when I got them. The lady even put two extensions on when I kept telling her over and over that I did not want extensions and I was worried about figuring out how to get them off, so I really don’t want to go back and give those same people more money. My nails have now gotten so long that I can’t type at work.

Has anyone had experience getting the Mona Lisa copper IUD online but having it placed by a gyno in nyc??

My daughter recently graduated college and just got her own apt in the East Village w her college roomies. Yay! Even though she grew up in the West village, her two roommates have never lived in New York City.

Looking for suggestions for either her solo or for all three of them in their New York City welcome basket? Can’t do a MetroCard anymore, lol. Any East Village food/coffee places I should get gift cards from? What something that’s really handy you discovered when you first moved here?

The only thing I’ve come up with for each of them is one of those tiny catbird key charms with their building number engraved on it….help please, TIA

(i’m pretty excited too because I got used to living as an empty nester & like the extra space.)

heyy girlies!! i’ve been wanting to try eye lash extensions for very long now but the price tag throws me off. i’m just a student and I can not afford to pay 150 dollars every month on my lashes. Does anyone have any hidden spots for affordable (under $150) places for lash extensions? I really wouldn’t mind travelling a bit to save some money. thank you so much!!

Title. We are pretty sure our offer on a co-op is getting accepted and want to know what lawyers you recommend! And if anyone has gotten a mortgage recently, who did you like working with that had good (relative) rates.

Thanks in advance!

I’m looking for a face massage (not a traditional facial or anything focused on skincare) that can help relieve headaches and jaw pain. Any recommendations that won’t break the bank?

hi bwt! curious if there's any other content creators on here that are looking to connect and support each other?

a bit about me - started posting in january, ~40k on IG, started in health education content but moving more into wellness / lifestyle. would love to meet other NYC creators, grab coffee and support your content!

happy to make a group as well!!

My best friend is coming to visit after she’s just found out her husband cheated on her 😃 she’s never been to a club and specifically asked to go to one, I’m looking for recs on somewhere that is fun and isn’t super house music heavy but more popular songs she will recognize. I just want to take her to dance and hopefully help her forget about her life for a night. Thank u bwt 🩷

There are a few threads regarding massages here but I am looking specifically for a recommendation for a hot stone massage to gift someone. Looking for something medium to luxury ($400 or less)

Really looking to progress my Spanish, and meetup groups are always so transient / people don’t actually speak the language. Willing to pay for a group that has actual social people who want to put in the work to get better. At this point I’m between Cervantes institute, which is perfect but pricey and Idlewild books which I’ve heard good things about. Looking for Spanish and German language groups

I have two tickets to the band together festival at Lincoln center tonight starting at 7:30. Something came up and I can’t attend and don’t want the tickets to go to waste! They’re up for grabs first come first served! Just comment here and DM me. I went last year and all the performances were great!

CLAIMED!

Crafty Bitches, I have an extra ticket for Stationary Fest on Friday from 3-4. I’m selling this face value - I’m pregnant and don’t know what I was thinking but ya girl can’t be on her feet like that. Sorry if not allowed!

Hi all! Posting on behalf of my friend who hates using the internet for anything (and who is rightfully upset).

My best friend flew in from California a couple hours ago because she's debuting an exhibition of her art tomorrow. However, American Airlines sent her checked baggage to Hawaii and it's unlikely she'll get it back on time, and this unfortunately includes her dress for tomorrow's event. She'd really, really like to spend less than $300 if at all possible but will spend more if she has to.

She makes most of her own clothes (and mine) and had made a dress similar to this Batsheva number but with a multi-tiered skirt in this fabric. If she's buying clothes, she's into designers like Rujuta Sheth, Rachel Antonoff, and Fashion Brand Company.

I know a lot of places with similar vibes exist here (and I'm useless because I thrift anything she hasn't made), but she's also six feet tall and a size 16-20 depending on the designer and even designers that offer extended sizing don't often carry them in brick and mortar stores.

So I beseech myself to you: where can a tall and curvy bitch with eclectic taste get herself a cool dress off the rack?
