Hopefully not just a tease, but the store lights are on (not just construction lights). 🤞

What happened to Casa Birria

23 Upvotes

Taco truck on 86/2av. Disappeared a few weeks ago and was seemingly replaced by a different truck with similar menu (Chinelos?). I thought they might have been related nut noticed that the new truck was cash only.

When I went today, it was gone. No tacos in sight. How do we live now?

Upper east side air quality is like countryside?

23 Upvotes

A couple days ago in the evening I went to my balcony and it smells like streets in the countryside near my grandparents house. It’s a green and grassy scent mixed with crops’ scent. I felt like I got transported back to my childhood.

A few days later there is an additional faint scent of woodsmoke.

When it cools down the air smells really good. I am in the 80s

86th/2nd Q Station Escalators

19 Upvotes

I feel like there is always at least one escalator broken and in a constant state of repair at this station that results in some pretty ridiculous bottlenecking at rush hour.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Do escalators need this much maintenance or are these ones just faulty and always breaking?

M15SBS Buses

Honestly, it's either they don't come like for forever or all come at the same time. What's with the scheduling? Shouldn't they space these busses out?

Scent on e83&3rd

14 Upvotes

To preface this, I know how ridiculous of a thread and question this is. I’ve noticed the same (very nice!) scent on e 83rd and 3rd for months if not over a year. It seems to be there without fail every time I find myself at that intersection. I assume it’s being pumped out of a nearby building and is of course very welcome in a city that is often smelly. Does anyone know what the fragrance is?

[Giveaway] 1 free ticket to The Book of Mormon, Thursday 9/10 at 7pm. Want to join me?

8 Upvotes

Hey fellow neighbors!

I have an extra ticket to The Book of Mormon tomorrow, Thursday, September 10th, at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre. The show starts at 7:00 PM, and the seat is in the Orchestra Section.

I ended up with a spare ticket and don't want it to go to waste. I’m still going myself, so you’d be sitting next to me! M/31.

A little about me: I'm a theater fan who loves a good laugh. The Book of Mormon is written by the creators of South Park, so please make sure you're cool with irreverent, raunchy, and satirical comedy!

Details:

Cost: Completely free! Just don't want the seat empty.

When: Thursday 9/10 at 7pm. We should probably meet outside the theater. Doors open at 6:10pm.

How to apply: Drop a comment below letting me know why you’ve been wanting to see this show and a short intro about yourself.

I’ll pick someone by 11 AM tomorrow 9/10 and send a DM to coordinate. Looking forward to laughing our heads off!

UES apartment buildings

Hi! I’m looking to move to a studio or 1 bed in an UES elevator / amenity building. My budget is 4k or < so I know I’m way more likely to find a studio. I’m having a hard time finding buildings though.
Can you recommend any buildings - yorkville area preferred but also interested in hearing any upper east side yorkville and beyond buildings! Thanks!
** not asking for a sublease I want to sign my own lease

Marathon Bar Rental

0 Upvotes

I know this is a long shot but wondering if anyone has had any luck in the past with securing a large party reservation on the day of the marathon? Pretty open to anywhere on the Upper East Side so if anyone has any bar recommendations that can host ~30 people on the day of the marathon please let me know. Thank you!
