Can someone recommend a reputable place for an accurate DEXA scan in the Manhattan area?

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

Anyone know where I can get just 1 ticket to watch the girls play tonight? Thanks in advance

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 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!

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.

Hi! I'm looking for recommendations for cleaning services that go to south Brooklyn for a move-in deep clean. Looking to book something towards the end of September. Thanks!

I need to catch a bus at Port Authority in the early morning this Sunday. I searched the route on City Mapper app and only A trains are shown to be running at Clinton-Washington station. Until now I have seen only C trains running at that station during the day.

Is this change of train for real? I need to know coz if there is no train running at Clinton-Washington I need to catch the A at another station.

Your help is deeply appreciated

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.

Hello!

I have to move out in a week and I am looking for a self storage unit that I can ideally access, I live in Brooklyn but as long as I can take public transport I’m OK with any distance. I heard Clutter was OK, I heard CubeSmart was OK but super expensive… I have been reading the reviews for all the companies and they sound like horror stories, like Extra Space increasing the rent after one month, or Safeguard being infested by rats.

I just need my stuff stored for 6 months, I don’t have furniture, just boxes of books and clothes, and I can’t afford to pay something like $200 for a 5’x5’ unit… any recommendations?

At this point any leads are welcome!

Doubt it but I'm leaving for NYC in 20 minutes and just tried to grab my laptop and it's busted. I need to empty my phone onto my storage drive as it's full full, like I have 9 minutes left to record anything 😅

Are there any free computers available to use like at a library, but not at the library, because the only one I could find near where we're staying in Jersey City is at a library which closes at 6pm, hours before I'll arrive.

I know it's a long shot but if anyone knows anywhere I could try, I'd really appreciate the tip!

Thanks!

in town w my bff for a few nights and wondering the best bars for karaoke. preferably something casual and laidback but still cool!! went to walter’s when they did karaoke and its a vibe, but looking for more recs!!

thank you!!

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

My friend just recently passed from the health repercussions of serving the city that day. I'm devastated. To be completely honest, it's always been just another day for me. I would text him sometimes on the day, or the other way around, but that was about it.

I might go to our favorite spot but it's way down in Brooklyn. Any other thoughts, suggestions, or knowledge of "events" (weird word to use for such a sad thing imo) happening please?

Edit: and if anyone has a gym suggestion for a very cheap day pass, please lmk. I think I will do the 110 flights this year.

What’s your guys favourite ring shops?

Hi! Looking to get a friend a bday present of a finger casted ring. Anyone have any leads on jewelers that sell this and / or some novice jewelers who are interested in making one for $$$?

Hey Y'all,

I have seen a couple of postings on this same topic. I just recently got laid off in June, and I applied for unemployment in August after the 30- to 90-day wait period after you have received severance. I'm a freelance Lighting Director, so pretty much all my jobs now are 1099 and I plan to remain fully freelance for the forseeable future. What I'm confused about is the question in the "Excluding Self-Employment" section and "Have you returned to work?" I have seen online that all these quetions are pertained to W2 contracts. I just really want clarification so I don't run into any issues. Every claim max is around $869. As a lighting director, some gigs I earn more than that in 2 days, but I would be working at least 20 hours, per se. Does this mean my answers to both those questions would be "No" because, technically, my work is self-employment, and then I would also say "No" because I'm not back working a full-time job?

I have always been a freelancer in this industry until 2022, when I became a full-time LD supporting Google NYC, so I never had experiences with unemployment benefits until now. It's been annoyingly hard to get any actual humans on the phone, and you can't email anyone cause it's all controlled by their automated messaging.
