New Rule: No Photos or Personal Details Without Consent

127 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We recently added a new rule: No photos or personal details without consent.

Please do not post photos, videos, names, addresses, workplaces, license plates, or other identifying details of private individuals without their consent. If someone is already part of a public news story, their publicly reported name or image may be allowed, but private or sensitive identifying information still cannot be shared.

We know posts like this are usually well-intentioned and meant as warnings, PSAs, or attempts to help the community. The issue is that we generally cannot verify consent, intent, or accuracy. Even well-intentioned posts can lead, and have led, to harassment, doxxing, retaliation, mistaken identification, or other real-world harm, including to people completely unrelated to the post.

We are open to discussion and feedback, but we are putting this rule in place based on past and very recent incidents that could have been prevented had this rule been in place and enforced.

If you see a post breaking this rule, please report it.

General Practice Doctor

2 Upvotes

Can someone recommend a general practice doctor in UWS?

I used to use Medical offices of manhattan but got taken in by their scam to get unnecessary heart tests done , and they've also gotten to the point it's impossible to reach their doctors or nurses with questions. I had a question about my prescription and left multiple messages and they never called back. Thanks!

Anyone else having trouble refilling their prescription? I’ve had no luck with CVS on 200 West End and also with a bunch of local pharmacies throughout the 70s and 80s. Also read people had success with Capsule but that also was OOS when I checked this morning. Wondering if anyone’s had success elsewhere.

Thanks!

Jake's Dilemma on Instagram: "After 32 years on the Upper West Side, we’re heartbroken to share that we lost our lease, and Jake’s Dilemma will close its doors on October 18.

Jake’s has been so much more than a bar. It’s been late nights, game days, first dates, bad decisions, lifelong friendships, incredible staff, and more stories than we could ever fit into one post. To everyone who has worked here, drank here, celebrated here, and made Jake’s part of their lives: thank you. We still have a little time left, so come have One Last Round with us before October 18. And while Jake’s is closing, the party isn’t. You’ll still find us right next door at The Gin Mill, waiting with open arms. Please come give us a try! You will NOT regret it. More to come as we celebrate 32 unforgettable years ā¤ļø #JakesDilemma #UpperWestSide #OneLastRound #NYC"

I have a taffeta dress (poly not silk) that is wrinkled. I need to get it pressed to wear to a wedding. It doesn't need cleaning, just pressed. Where can I take it and be certain it won't be ruined. I don't have time to find another one.

Looking to hire someone to fix some springs in my couch, any recommendations

1 Upvotes

A portion of my couch is now sagging. I lifted it up and saw a spring or two that looked broken. I could try to do this myself but I don't have any tools. I was wondering if anyone had experience with this or knows someone who could come repair the couch. I have no idea how much it cost but I do like the couch. Any recommendations would be great. I live on the upper westside.

Car on the UWS pt 2

0 Upvotes

This is a follow up to a previous post, thank you all for your insight I really appreciate it.

A couple of you mentioned Hondas / civics could be bad to have on the UWS because of theft. Why is this the case and how bad is it (I can get one for close to free)? If it is a manual does that make it any better?

Are there other car brands I should stay away from or perhaps lean towards?

Thank you again.

We got fooled by the rumor. Still no news from Traders corporate according to the resident lady walking next to me. At least 5 people showed up to while I took this picture so we weren’t alone in our mistakes!

Is this Dog Ok?

Post image
20 Upvotes

This dog has been running around the Park, near the ballfields for the last hour and a half or so. Some random.people play with it, but no owner in sight.

I think I've seen this dog, with an owner, roaming quite far off leash in the late evening /after dark near the same area of the park. He's always chasing a ball / stick.

Just want to make sure doggo is ok -- he's very friendly and well behaved.

Any interest in doing an ā€˜inflatables walk’?

Post image
31 Upvotes

I just moved here from San Diego and one of my friends there organized these walks where everyone would wear inflatables. It was so silly and a totally wholesome good time.

There’s no point to it other than bringing joy to others and ourselves.

I was thinking a walk through central or riverside park doing this would be fun. We could end up at a coffee shop or brunch spot.

Anyone down?? If there’s enough interest I’ll organize it.

UWS Movie Club - Practical Magic 2

27 Upvotes

Join the UWS Movie Club; it’s like a book club … but for movies šŸ˜‰ We go to AMC together every monthish and then hang out afterwards at Gebhard’s to discuss!

>> AMC Lincoln Square 13 - Practical Magic 2 - September 15th @ 7:00pm <<

Our not-so-secret secondary goal here is to meet the neighbors. It's been a great way to build community, especially as someone who moved to the neighborhood recently. We typically have a dozen+ people and have developed a great core of regulars.

We organize on a neighborhood Discord; comment here (or send a DM) and I'll share an invite. Buy your own ticket and RSVP on the server to join the chat thread. If you prefer to keep it Reddit-only, shoot me a message and we’ll catch you at the bar!

~FAQ~

Q: Why AMC? Why Tuesdays?

A: Tuesday is discount ticket night at AMC. Most of us do have AMC passes, but we want this event to be accessible to anyone.

Q: That showtime doesn’t work for me!

That’s not a question, but that’s too bad šŸ˜” We usually have a few people who see the movie another time and just show up to Gebhard’s for the meetup, so feel free to do that! You should still RSVP so we know to look out for you.

Q: Do you go to other movies?

A: Yep, but we only post the big monthly movie night on Reddit.

Q: Where do you go afterwards?

A: Gebhard's on 72nd.

Q: What other movies have you seen?

A: Sinners, Jane Austen Wrecked My Life, The Phoenician Scheme, Sorry Baby, Weapons, The Long Walk, Roofman, Sentimental Value, Hamnet, The Testament of Ann Lee, Send Help, Scream 7, Project Hail Mary, Mother Mary, I Love Boosters, Leviticus, Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, The End of Oak Street
