NYC Cops – Subway Lazy

All all NYC cops this absurdly bad? Watched a cast of characters smoking crack and actively taunting riders waiting for the 1 at Christopher street – they then looked at us, then the individuals in question and then WALKED OUT OF THE STATION. Literally looked at the dead in the eye and they basically said

I ate what r/FoodNYC told me to, at Minetta Tavern.

Bone Marrow Some Cocktail recommended by the server. I got this instead of Martini, since I don’t like olives. The photo is blurry, because you are drunk. Black Label Burger. Yes I got it with cheese. Souffle for Two. I ate it by myself. Thanks to everyone in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodNYC/comments/1iufja1/i_managed_to_snag_a_solo_minetta_tavern_booking/ TLDR: 8/10. So I

Fentanyl

I’ve been looking for my brother who often hangs out on Roosevelt Ave in the red light district in queens. He’s on fentanyl living on the streets and often times my family and I will go looking for him and drive around all day. If anyone on here knows anything about that type of scene

I set out on a mission to find the BEST rainbow cookie in Queens, tried them all (yes, ALL of them), and built a website to document my findings. 🎉 If you love

Gramercy Tavern for the last day of Restaurant Week. Absolutely tremendous. There might not be a better bang for your buck nice meal in the city.

Those who’ve lived in NYC for decades: what are your fav restaurants/bars that endure?

I’ve been here 25 years and I’m shocked that a few places that were here when I was starting my career here are still here: Mogodor, Corner Bistro, La Bonbonniere, Gray Dog, Arlene’s. It’s mind boggling, especially when so many of my faves have closed. What are your places that have endured over 25 years

Homeless on every E train single subway car this morning- what do we do?

I’ll open with obligatory remarks on homeless: 1) they need compassion and support 2) Our capitalist society is inherently unfair and generational poverty can be impossible to escape 3) Reagan and Giuliani and others contributed to the mental health crisis that New Yorkers face everyday. This morning I transferred from the J to the E

A PF Changs To Go opened a few doors down from an established Mom and Pop Chinese takeout in Hells Kitchen but has closed after a year

It seemed like hubris for them to open (8th Ave at W53rd st) practically beside a bustling, long-established mom-and-pop, China Gourmet. The PF Changs was built but stayed unopened for what seemed like a few years before they finally opened and then closed very quickly. Their prices were really high – like every entree was

What’s your favourite low google reviews rated restaurant in nyc

Today, my coworker took me to a hole-in-the-wall taqueria in Queens, where I had the best quesadilla of my life (I’ve had a lot!). I wanted to mark it on Google Maps but noticed very poor Google reviews rating, 3.4 stars, mostly about hygiene and customer service. It’s a small family-run spot where patrons seem

Anyone else dismayed by the fall of craigslist usage in the city, apparently replaced by Facebook Marketplace?

I’ve been using craigslist to buy and sell stuff since 2006. It’s great. Simple, no-frills, no algorithms, and generally does what it needs to do. Nowadays, craigslist in NYC is a ghost town for buying and selling. When I search for similar queries on Facebook Marketplace vs. craigslist, I get 10x more results. I’m flummoxed.
