I am renting a room in a home with an old woman. Sadly she passed away a few days ago. Now I am alone in her home. She has no next of kin and apparently she has no Will that has been found. What do I do about all this? Who owns the house and

The past couple times I’ve taken a yellow cab from JFK, when I arrive at my destination the driver wants me to tap my card on his phone rather than use the in-car POS card reader. Both times the driver has said that the card reader is “frozen” or “broken.” And each time I’ve refused

I (26F) moved to nyc less than a year ago (in greenpoint) and I see so many pictures of guys skiiing… is that a thing here? When I lived in TX it used to be holding a fish lol. submitted by /u/noorjo [link] [comments]

I hear tourists complain about NYC all the time—too loud, too crowded, too fast, “people are rude,” etc. But a lot of those things feel like part of the charm once you actually live here. Curious what falls into that category for you. What’s something visitors hate about NYC that locals either like, appreciate, or

I moved to NYC thinking I’d finally get a handle on my finances. I make okay money for my age, nothing crazy but enough to live decently, or so I thought. Between rent creeping up every year, $7 coffees, and the constant “let’s grab a drink” or “quick dinner” invites, I swear my paycheck disappears

Hello, I live in Brooklyn and there is this group of teenagers who pack like 15-20 people into my tiny vestibule and totally hot box the place. They don’t live in the building. I’ve called building management and they’re totally useless. The super is even worse. 911 shows up half the time and 311 just

I know it’s common courtesy to leave them alone, but I’m curious at what level of fame they legit would not be able to walk around because they would be mobbed submitted by /u/FailFastandDieYoung [link] [comments]

Not talking luxury… just comfortable: rent paid, saving a bit, eating out sometimes, travel without stress. Curious what people think the real number is now, not pre-2020. Bonus points if you include borough + household size submitted by /u/Middle_Elderberry542 [link] [comments]

Something that feels completely normal to you in NYC but gets weird reactions elsewhere. Could be social behavior, timing, money, space, noise, food, dating… anything. submitted by /u/Middle_Elderberry542 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I understand the Mafia doesn’t have the power they did for most of the 1900s in NYC but I was just wondering if any of the 5 families are still around? If they are then what are they doing in modern times to make money? If they aren’t then is the influence and

I see a lot of New Yorkers around my age who are doing extremely well for themselves and I wonder how? How can I get there? What do I need to do or not doing? I know someone in their late 20s making about 2 mil a year which is honestly amazing! I know another

Just curious how common it is in NYC, I know in most places in the US people pick each other up from the airport but it usually is assumed it’s because they drive there and will do a dropoff. My gf came to the airport to meet me over the weekend after my flight. I

Given the housing supply crisis here, wouldn’t a ban on foreign investment groups buying property help with the housing supply? Edit: clarifying the body since a bunch of people think I’m being anti-immigrant submitted by /u/DefNotaBot22 [link] [comments]

Serious question. Why do we all gaslight ourselves into thinking this is acceptable? I’m genuinely convinced Satan himself engineered the logistics from Manhattan to the airports (EWR/JFK). And before you say woah woah what about LGA? This is a rant specific to NYCs “International” airports. For a “world-class city,” the options are seemingly designed by

Would love to know if people ever stay at home all day doing nothing. Some weeks I’m out all day/night and barely home and then some days I just rot at home. Feel guilty about it because there is always so much to do here. Interested in everyone’s answers/experiences? submitted by /u/nycbiatch [link] [comments]

So I landed this amazing remote job in Toronto but I’m still based in NYC and need to drive up there like twice a month minimum. We’re talking 350 miles each way so 700+ per trip through upstate NY winters and border crossings. But I just bought a co-op here or I’d move lol. I’ve

Was it always a tourist trap or was there a time that it catered to locals? As a kid in the 90’s, I remember there being an arcade just off Times Square. Granted, it was still a pretty crowded sidewalk to get there. submitted by /u/amlextex [link] [comments]

As an outsider I always see posts about how most people in New York are living with 1-4 roommates at a time. I know this isn’t for everyone, but what percent of people do you know that actually live alone? Thanks submitted by /u/Anonymous61134 [link] [comments]

I was standing in the middle part of a crowded subway car and holding the pole. The car was swerving a lot, and I guess my upper back made contact with a guy’s arm as he passed me. I felt a strong push on my back after this, and at first I thought it was

This time, I wasn’t even the one waiting. I was on lunch, walking back to work. I saw an elderly couple with two young children (assuming grandkids) waiting at the stop. The bus driver looked in their direction and just kept driving. He had a red light just a few feet away, so he ended
