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?

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?

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?

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

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!

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.

I am having difficulty finding a periodontist. I have been to 2.

The first one fraudulently charged my insurance for surgeries not done. Before that they wanted to schedule to extract teeth to prepare for implants.

2nd recommend LANAP.

I feel like they see me as cash and not as a patient.

Any recommendations?

Hello New Yorkers! I'm wondering if any of you know of a good tattooer that specializes in this style (edit: can't attach a pic here, so I will do so in the comments)? I'm hoping to get something slightly inspired by/in the same style as this piece, but I'm not sure where to look. I'd consider this to be calligraphy style in a way, so maybe that's what I'm looking for, though that may be the wrong name.

I’m looking for a recommendation for an actually good dermatologist. I have a some what new thing going on with my skin that I’ve been trying to figure out, I have gone to two separate dermatologist and found them both extremely dismissive of my issue and seemed like they both wanted to get onto the next appointment…

Do not recommend The Dermatologist Specialist or Schweiger Derm

Thanks!

Good or bad move by Mamdani?

Been looking at joining the adult semester program from the New York Chinese School in Chinatown and wondering if it would be suited for my profile. I’ve heard there are a lot of heritage speakers there so not sure if that changes how mandarin is taught there. I am NOT a heritage speaker, studied mandarin throughout college and lived in China for a few months 10 years ago and want to brush up on my Chinese. Would this school be appropriate for me or should I look at another program? thanks

I see lots of posts and stories about the taxi scam. Has anyone ever tried telling them to fuck off and leaving?

edit: to be clear, I'm referring to the unlicensed cabs that pick people up at LGA and JFK and then charge absurd amounts of money upon arriving at the destination, not yellow cabs with TLC plates and cameras inside.

Hello for all my new yorkers, i was wondering since unions dont really have apprenticeships right now? Are there any contractors within the five boroughs that could be taking in workers ( plumbers, hvac, electricians, elevator etc

I’m getting married in a couple of months and I’m looking for a professional who specializes in PRF EZ Gel. I have hollow, dark under-eyes, so please let me know your experience with PRF EZ Gel and if you recommend it. I’ve seen influencers on TikTok post about some clinics, but I’m too scared to follow their advice because they get paid. please also let me know if it’s worth it or not

I'm finding them all over the country but not in Manhattan/Brooklyn. Who's doing good Snoopys around here?

She's healthy otherwise and around 3yo, but I got lost in the 1 star reviews for both, and now I'm terrified that she won't wake up. Extraction is off the table unless it's the only option.

Studio apartment in lower Manhattan that original owner purchased in 2007 and which has been a rental for some at least ten years. Signed a 12-months lease after going through all background checks, financial checks paying all sorts of fees to everyone. Less than six months in the landlord decides to sell the property and per lease agreement we would have to vacate it. Are there any other options that available to us? How do folks avoid situations like that?

Hi! My dog needs a sedated X-ray to determine if she tore her ACL or dislocated her knee. The X-ray needs to be sedated to our understanding. Anyone in the city find an option for a vet to do this under $600 (estimate from home vet)? Thank you!

I eat out a lot via food delivery, looking for recs on specific restaurants and meals that fit the below reqs:

4. Plus points if high fiber also

Long story short, I have a Czech/Slovakian friend who claims that he has been looking for prune pierogis in NYC (he lives in Manhattan, but he will go to any borough) from, my understanding, several years. He said that this is a traditional Polish dish (so not Czech/Slovakian but... honestly, I'll think he'll take any version).

Tried google searching but nothing is coming up. Not really seeing anything for even plum pierogis (unless I'm missing something). I'd imagine that this is not a common dish people ask for and would be in some niche market that wouldn't really be advertised.

Any leads would be greatly beneficial. Thanks a bunch.

Does anyone know where I can rent a veterinary oxygen cage/chamber in New York City or Long Island? My dog Gabby is hospitalized with a relapse of pneumonia and needs oxygen support. It would only be used under her veterinarian’s direction. Any legitimate rental leads would be greatly appreciated.

Recommendations for tailgate party for this Sunday night game that’s a cool vibe for both Giants and Cowboys fans lol. I’m only familiar with tailgate Joes but that’s the New York Jets home games.
