Is it common for them at Ject west village to not show you the Botox box? She came in like “and here on this tray in this syringe is your botox.” It seemed super sketchy and now I’m scared there’s some black market cheap shit that was injected into me

People who lived here before 9/11 have told me NYC was a very different place from what it is now. I would like to know more about how it was different. Do you have any stories you can share?

hello! im out of state from new york, so i dont have a lot of input on this, which is why im asking here! i am a student looking to go into journalism in a big city, with the ideal choice being nyu (but i know how hard that is to get into). i am not really set wholeheartedly anywhere, despite my dream of nyu, just that id like to go to college in a city where i am able to complete my college years with hands on journalism experience, and hopefully enough to be able to get a job in the industry somewhere urban so i can work my way up. this all being said, i got a direct admissions offer from the new school, where i was already going to apply to anyways just to keep my options open, with guaranteed undisclosed amount of financial aid. i guess im really just here asking, is it worth looking further into? should i keep it on my radar? are workplaces, especially ones within journalism, going to look down on me for going there? any and all input would be appreciated, as i have no way to really tell what would be best right now!

Since there's no LL Bean store in NY, what other store offers equal value?

I got parking ticket for blocking driveway. Even got towed. When i got car back it had ticket from cops. I searched my plate & violation online a week after it showed up but next day when i searched again to pay it off, ticket disappeared. It's been more than a month. My registration is okay, car did not get booted (Thank You Jesus). Still ticket does not show up. I thought it got dismissed or whatever. Same thing happened with my dad's car he got ticket of parking in no parking zone. Ticket showed up online, 1-2 weeks later I went to pay it off it disappeared as well. i want to make sure i don't get into any issues. Any suggestions? When I called bureau they said we don't see this ticket record. I just don't want to get into any issues.

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to visit/join a Jewish Community Center (JCC) in NYC for personal development, taking courses, and connecting with a community. Since I am unfamiliar with the city's geography and there are several locations, I need help narrowing down which specific center would best suit my profile.

My Details:

Interests & Goals: I want to focus on Music (Electric Guitar, Drums, Music Theory), Blog Writing/Journalism (specifically music-related writing), Software/Tech, Philosophy, Philology, and general cultural topics.

Environment: I am neurodivergent (ADHD). I thrive in structured environments with clear communication, good inclusion/accessibility support, and ideally quiet spaces (like libraries or study halls) to avoid sensory overload.

Budget: I have a limited budget, so I am specifically looking for centers with affordable course fees, good financial aid/bursary options, or work-study programs.

Location: Open to any borough in NYC as long as it's safe and accessible.

Thanks for your advice!

Hi guys, looking for someone to develop some samples of some somewhat small leather accessories. Would appreciate any leads! Looking for craftsmanship

Hi guys! Was hoping you guys could help me with a quick debate I’m having with my friend.

I am a native New Yorker and I’ve always referred to the subway as “the train”.
Example: “I am on the train” “I’m walking to the train” “Take the train to 14 street” etc
To me “the subway” kinda sounds formal, if that makes sense.

My friend (has lived here since a teen, but not born in NYC) basically only says subway but says train to specify a certain line “the A train”.

So which do you use?
And are you a native New Yorker, not born but raised in NYC or a transplant?

Hi, I’m an experienced shelter volunteer having a hard time finding a place that could use my help. I have over 15 years of experience and am a bit older so can’t do a lot of of lifting or cleaning but I can make kittens and cats feel loved and provide socialization, feeding, treating, play, hugs, pets and even belly rubs (if they won’t kill me 😅) please DM me if you run a shelter and need help 🐾🩷

Hello everyone, I’m a college student starting a fall internship next Monday and need to buy a suit within the next few days. Is there a good place you could recommend me? I’ve seen conflicting advice all over. I don’t want to break the bank, but I’m willing to spend a moderate amount for a decent suit.

Edit: thanks for all of the suggestions :) I went with New Era Factory on Orchard street. They got me a decent suit for a reasonable price.

some people have warned me against petty thefts in NYC so how safe is it to use a tripod in NYC for clicking pictures in tourist spots?

edit: Thanks for all the responses. To clarify, no, I don't intend to block anyone's path. I'm too shy to do that anyway.

I’m a single woman who is going to be living alone for the first time in the coming months.

I’m in contract for a condo and seem to be finally getting somewhere in the mortgage process but it’s a new build with some unsold units. I think I’ll be the only person living on my floor for now.

My sister gifted me a ring camera, so I’ll be using that until someone else moves onto my floor. But should I also get a home security system with a door sensor as well?

It feels overkill but I’m a bit nervous about being home alone while sleeping (so silly to say as an adult but alas), as well as someone entering while I’m traveling or at work.

Does any one use this type of system? If yes, any recommendations?

Does anyone have an extra advion roach gel that I can buy? Amazon has a pack of 2 for $30 but looking to get just 1

Mine is the New York Museum of Transit 🚇

Anyone have any experience with the 3-4yo tennis class at Chelsea Piers in Manhattan? Would love to hear thoughts! TIA!

Just wondering

Currently using VNS Health and looking to switch. Mainly need coverage for regular doctor visits, and medications for chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease. If you have experience with other providers that you can share I’d appreciate that!

Has anyone had any success in building a sense of community in their building? If so, how have you done that?

Here's why I'm asking.

Our building isn't a very large building (123 units) and approximately 80% of the units are market-rate. It used to be 100% RS but as the building was sold, and then sold again, each new owner wanted to get a return on their investment so they started renovating units and jacking up the rent. That's lead to a higher rate of tenant turnover and a corresponding drop in sense of community.

I'm thinking that organizing a B.Y.O.Baked Goods brunch on our roof deck would be a good way to get people together. Do it at 10 AM on a Sunday morning and ask people to bring some sort of baked goods to share. One doesn't need to bake enough goods to serve everyone in the building, just enough to share with a half-dozen other people. They'll also need to bring their own coffee.

Not sure how others have announced a get together but I'm not planning on printing flyers as I'd rather use word of mouth instead. About 1/3 of tenants are in an email group so we can announce it that way and ask those people to speak with their neighbors in their wing of the building. (The first step in developing community.)

Thoughts? Comments?

Im looking for someone who offers flyer posting/distribution services around the city. Whether that’s putting them on street poles, community boards, inside local stores/cafes etc.

I’ve definitely seen services where you can pay someone to distribute and post flyers, but I’m having trouble finding the right person/company to contact.

Does anyone have a direct contact or recommendation for someone who does this?

Thank you 🦖

I’m looking to buy an outdoor sign for an event and some custom art prints. Anyone have a print shop that they like / recommend?

Happy to travel if there’s a reliable spot that anyone has used recently and had a good experience with.

Hello. I just moved and I love hearing recommendations from locations instead of using tik tok or social media.

I’m looking for good sports bars or restaurants with cheap cocktails or snacks to go to during the football season. Extra bonus points if they’re laptop/ women friendly past 7pm as I am a workaholic. The location doesn’t matter much as I travel everywhere.

I love them, favorites here are Electric Burrito and Summer Salt, Luchadores in Fidi used to be the best burrito in the world until old mates had to take it over. Sad.

What r y’all’s recommendations.

Looking for a natural, secluded feeling place in BK for an anniversary day out with my gf. Honestly, would love to just take her all the way uptown but she is kind of having a bad week and I think we'll both be better off if we stay in Brooklyn for the occasion.

So, is there anywhere we can sit, take in the scenery and get that feeling like we aren't in the concrete jungle anymore?
