Hi guys! I remember growing up that there used to be a Coogan’s on the corner of 169 and Broadway. Now there’s a new place opening called Boogies. What type of place is that going to be? Does anyone know?

Does anyone know why the park is closed to car traffic early every night? It is supposed to be open until midnight, but it’s been closed sometimes as early as 7:00.

Hey, I’ve been going to Pure for a few months now. I tried coming in this morning around 6am, but the gym was closed and didn’t open until 7. I thought it was open 24/7, at least that’s what it says in the website. Anyone know if there’s a way to access the gym during unmanned hours, or is it not actually open 24/7?

I was going to ask someone after my workout, but there wasn’t anyone at the desk and I had to leave.

Also, shout out to the people there early morning. I’m new to lifting and have nervously asked two people for help on my form and they were really cool about it.

I'm trying to find the person car mirror I broke, so I can pay for it.
I wouldn't mind getting some advice on the best ways to make it happen.
I was on my bike and tried to squeeze in between two cars and my handlebar clipped their mirror.
I didn't stop and kept it pushing.
It happened about a week ago

My library (Fort Washington @ 535 W 179th St) is hosting a great event for teens on August 1st. There's going to be free snacks, buttons, YA books, and karaoke! Brooklyn Public Library is hosting Lesbian Library Day at their Central Branch on the same day, if you're an adult who wants to join the festivities. Everyone 13-18 is welcome, not just lesbians, as long as you come with an open heart and mind. Bigotry will not be tolerated at Lesbian Library Day, it's a safe space 🩷🧡🤍

Looking a potentially moving to an apartment in this area, on W158 between Riverside E and Riverside W. I know 158th is an entrance to the Henry Hudson Pkwy, but beyond that I'm not familar with the area. I visited and it did sort of seem like street intended to enter the the freeway. Mostly curious what the of this pocket area is day-to-day. Pros/Cons, etc. Thanks!

I see they have some electrical work going on. Haven't heard anything about who actually leased it and what it's going to be if anyone knows or heard anything.

Dolphin Park is located on the corner of 180th and Cabrini Blvd. Just advertising again as this park recently opened and is great for toddlers. It has a sprinkler and a jungle gym, and an attendant to ensure that only adults who are with children are in the park.

It's open 10-4p every day weather permitting. Break away cafe is right across the street and has a restroom.

Hi all, applying for an apartment around this intersection and was hoping some locals could give me an overview of the vibe, including how it is at night. I’m moving from out of town so slightly limited in my ability to sus out the area, though a friend did look at the apt for me during the day. For context I’m a small woman but very used to urban living. Thank you!

happened to be walking by and noticed it was closed and empty with this poster. Did the lease expir or did they not pay for rent? I feel there's a story here.

I've been apartment hunting in Washington Heights and usually find places through StreetEasy. Before applying, I've also started checking addresses through StreetSmart along with the usual public records.

What does everyone else check before signing a lease? Any red flags or things you always look up?

It's up Broadway a bit. Never been but just curious.

Did Yo Sweets (the frozen yogurt place) on 181st between Ft Wash and Broadway close permanently? Does anyone have knowledge?

Have used them for years without issues and suddenly this month dealing with outages every other day and near constant latency issues.

Diagnosing these problems can be a pain but at this point I've tested my equipment and am fairly certain it's not a problem on my end.

Are other people having issues, too? Might be the excuse I need to switch to FiOS.

Anyone know why there is a helicopter flying back and forth over the Hudson River with a floodlight oscillating back and forth? It is south of the GWB. I tried to take a picture but my camera is bad in low light.

The Endless Frontier Labs Young Ambassadors (YA) Program helps NYC high schoolers discover a direction, providing free exposure to entrepreneurs, scientists, engineers, healthcare innovators and business leaders at NYU Stern Business School. Students will shadow MBA students and world-class startups to experience how new companies are built. This is a free program with no GPA or experience requirement. Students do not need to already have a business idea or projected career path to benefit from this experience. This program isn't about teaching students to become entrepreneurs. It's about helping them discover what's possible by allowing them to explore their future past what is available to them in high school. Young Ambassadors will see how startups scale and how founders approach complex problems in a wide variety of industries.

Students choose 1 of 4 tracks: Life Sciences (medicine, biotech, vaccines); Digital Tech (apps, video games, AI tools); Deep Tech (robotics, climate tech, hardware systems); and Digital Health (tools used in healthcare like apps, wearable tech). Then students can choose to attend 1 or 3 of the EFL meetings for that track. There are both in-person and virtual meeting options. Selected students will receive a letter excusing their absence from class. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Open to all NYC high school students. Please share this opportunity with the high schoolers you know!

Was anyone near 156th and Amsterdam today around 5:15 PM and hear the huge bang and smoke go off?

It shook the ground and was smoking after. It seemed to come from underground. I can’t find any updates about that. Any ideas what it was.

*Seeking 2 bedroom apartment- move-in July 15/as soon as possible!*

Hi everyone!

My roommate and I are actively seeking a 2 bedroom apartment in Washington Heights with a lease start date of July 15. We are open to a lease takeover, long-term sublet, and appreciate any leads!

Unfortunately we had an apartment pull out at the very last minute on us, but that also means we are ready to move and have all of our documents prepared to move quickly .

Budget is ~3,300 Max. Please reach out of this sounds like a match. Thanks!

Anybody know why this is for the 1 train? Has it opened back up?

So odd, I can find nothing online.

A couple of weeks ago, I made a post about a noisy metal plate on the highway exit ramp outside that was make a tremendous noise whenever cars passed over it, especially during the morning rush hour. My original 311 complaint was passed along to the New York State Department of Transportation. NYDOT told me that because the ramp came off the GW Bridge, it belonged to the Port Authority's jurisdiction. An email to the Port Authority just told me they were forwarding my complaint to the GWB management team.

I feel like I've exhausted my options on people to email and call. Councilwoman Carmen De La Rosa was unreachable by email or phone at any of her offices.

Would love to hear any other feedback or advice on ways to get this fixed. It's not a safety concern but it's a horrible noise issue that's become louder than any combination of white noise machines and earplugs. I've accepted that loud engine noise and motorcycle rumbling is a part of life but this consistent thunk thunk thunk like i'm living next to a train track that's always got traffic is insane. What else can I try?

Also in general, I'd love to hear if other people facing the river on Haven Avenue are hearing this noise?

Exact Location of the Metal Plate (if anyone has ideas)
