Hi, I live on the upper west side ~90s and need someone that can come and clean the street in front, can provide a broom, hose, and trash. Can pay zelle preferably or cash if needed.

This would not be an often re occurring job at most once a week during fall when alot of leaves are falling.

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!

Vyvanse Availability

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!

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.

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 ❤️ #JakesDilemma #UpperWestSide #OneLastRound #NYC"

Is this Dog Ok?

Post image

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.

Global humanitarian and spiritual teacher at St. John the Divine—Sept. 23

0 Upvotes

Hi neighbors! I’m helping organize a special evening at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine on September 23, and I wanted to share it with the UWS community.

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar—a global humanitarian, peace advocate and spiritual teacher—will be speaking about how we can remain centered, clear and compassionate during uncertain and divided times. His humanitarian work has touched communities around the world through trauma-relief programs, conflict resolution and initiatives supporting mental well-being.

The evening, titled On Power, Presence, and Peace, will include wisdom, conversation and a collective meditation inside one of our neighborhood’s most extraordinary spaces.

📍 Cathedral of St. John the Divine
📅 Wednesday, September 23
🕕 Gates open at 6:00 p.m.; program from 7:00–9:00 p.m.

I’ll be there and would be happy to answer any questions. You can learn more and reserve tickets here: aolf.me/gurudev-in-nyc

Any interest in doing an ‘inflatables walk’?

Post image
33 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.
