People

A woman was riding her Citi bike down a fairly crowded sidewalk today and a saw numerous people yelling at her (“What are you doing!” “get off the sidewalk!”). Until she did. Made me wonder — what NY etiquette rules / or laws do you see get enforced by the crowd? Do you think people […]

I feel like something bad is about to happen with how perfect fall has been. The foliage had been perfect, crisp evenings, and sun out every day (other than yesterday). Is there an explanation? Is another part of the country getting screwed? Edit: Today i learned that the weather we have is hot asf haha.

This morning, I was assaulted by a man at the Lexington Avenue/59th Street subway station while walking downstairs to catch the 4/5 train. He initially pushed me as I was going down the stairs. I pushed back slightly and asked him why he was pushing me. He responded that I was in his way and

the voting sticker is so so ugly! I’m curious about who decides what it looks like and how often it’s changed? I tried to google it but I’m having a hard time finding out information on this! thank u submitted by /u/wh0re4bjorncorn [link] [comments]

Is anyone else absolutely over this hot ass weather we been having? There is a nice crisp early morning but its hot and sunny by 10. I know its very nice and I love the sun but I am begging to wear a hoodie and a jacket. I have lived in NY my whole life

I live in Brooklyn, NY (Kings County). I am registered to vote by mail-in ballot, but didn’t fill it out. I went to the polls this morning and they initially turned me away because they saw I was registered to vote mail-in. They told me I had to wait until the next election to vote.

I thought it was snow at first, but it looks like cotton type pollen or ragweed or something, but there’s so much it’s been going for like 30 mins submitted by /u/morality-risk [link] [comments]

are there any 30 year olds living at home in NYC? I do and sometimes I am very grateful. I did not have the best or richest childhood but im so grateful for my mom to atleast allow me to have a comfortable adult life. I have many friends with great careers who complain about

No, like really. I’ve seen posts on X, TikTok, etc. of people experiencing a very similar, if not identical, set of symptoms as mine. I first felt ill on 10/12 with a sore throat lasting a few days. By day 4-5, it progressed to congestion and a cough. Yesterday (Day 15!), I took a turn

Okay I have a situation that I wanted to post on here and get some opinions. There is new scaffolding up across the street from where I live and I’ve noticed a couple of new unhoused individuals that have been living there for going on several weeks. I normally don’t really look at them, but

Riverside, Inwood, Forest, Flushing Meadows, Van Corlandt, Bronx, and Pellham Bay Park all have freeways cutting through them, some even have multiple freeways with entire interchanges running through them. New York as a whole has solid parks but this is just about the worst land use combination I can imagine, it really takes away from

i’m a straight woman in my early 30s and i am so, so tired of being on Hinge. i simply am not good at picking the right strangers–i never enjoy myself on these dates. i just want to meet someone organically and i do NOT want to date under 30. everyone says join a run

My grandma was born and raised in the Bronx. She once told me how when she was a kid learning geography in school, she used to think to herself “why am I learning this? I’m never gonna step foot outside the Bronx.” Ultimately she very much did travel once she got older, but it’s got

I’m a firm believer of if you’ve been out (on the subway, running errands etc. ie not just popping down to the downstairs bodega) you shower before getting into bed. You don’t want to carry all the filth/germs/grime from the city into bed. My partner completely disagrees and is ok not showering. I need the

I went to NYC a couple of weekends ago and i don’t wanna gas y’all up but there were way too many good looking people. I could immediately tell who was a tourist because we all looked like shit. First of all, y’all skin looks great and I’m 90% sure it’s because of the water,

A lot of the MTA’s retail space is empty. Most (all?) newsstands have closed, new retail space in LIRR Grand Central has never been occupied, etc. Why don’t they lower the rate until people take the spaces? Or, if they don’t want to do that, why do they keep including it in new projects? submitted

In summer it’s obviously hot because places don’t have AC and the subway is egregious. But I’m so tired of being hot all winter from ridiculously overpowered heating. It’s everywhere. Classrooms, office buildings, stores, apartments. Everywhere has the heat on blast when it’s only like 60 degrees out. Or, my other least favorite, when it

I’m writing this with tears in my eyes, hoping someone with a kind heart might be able to help me and my little girl, Katie. Katie is my 3-year-old cat and my emotional support companion. Due to unexpected financial hardship, my family and I had to move into a shelter. I’ve submitted all the paperwork

Hey everyone, I’m really going through such a rough patch right now and I don’t want to go home after the gym. I just want to cry where people don’t know me lol ( The cheaper the better for more drinks , but the price doesn’t matter 😉 ) Edit: “ I just want to

Hi all! My friend got slashed by a young man on a citibike last night (10/12) at 5:38 PM in meatpacking right outside the Apple Store (in that little outdoor seating area on 14/Hudson). The slasher was with a bunch of friends, all on citibikes. This happened after an altercation between my friend who was

Isn’t Columbus Day and the Columbus Day Parade outdated and debunked? It’s not even about him anyway. Its about Italian Heritage. Why not change the name? submitted by /u/NewNewYorker22 [link] [comments]

Not a local, but as someone who visits the city multiple times a week for visiting friends and for fun in general, I love to hangout around Chinatown Manhattan. From my observation, I notice that there is quite a significant elderly population. Because of that, I can’t help but think of what this place will

I’m broke broke right now lol, but I don’t want to just sit at home all day. What are some genuinely free (or extremely cheap) places/things to do in NYC where I can hang out for a while and maybe meet people? I’m open to parks, libraries, public spaces, free events, community stuff, meetups, museums
