I’ve lived here for 15 years and seen a lot of iterations of the nyc real estate market. I was talking to a friend who recently moved here about their experience finding a place and the usual themes came up e.g. cost, quality etc. It reminded me of a story when I was in college

Request in the title. Ideally looking for somewhere on the west side of Manhattan off the A train. Needs to be public, quiet enough to talk, and (most importantly) dull and disappointing enough that I don’t mind my memory of the place being forever tarnished by heartbreak. submitted by /u/drunk_me [link] [comments]

I currently live in my mom’s 2-bedroom apartment with my sister and her giant family (her fiance, two kids, and another one on the way) and they are doing everything in their power to keep me there. I just graduated college, and while in college my sister moved in with her family and got extremely

You always hear all the bad things about NYC but none of the good things. What was your feel good moment in NYC. After work one day I decided to do groceries and flagged down a cab to get home since I had a large bag of groceries. I lived about 13 blocks away and

A recent post asking when it’s okay to ignore strangers got me thinking about this guy I saw on the train Saturday night. He was a white man in his 40s, vaguely scruffy, but not obviously unhoused or otherwise in crisis. Out of the blue, without getting out of his seat, he raised his voice

I’m coming to NYC very soon with my son for treatment at Sloan Kettering. We’re coming from a rural place, really rural. We don’t have public transit. We don’t have food delivery. Our entire county has a population below 35k. Our highway is the main road through town and 2 lanes. We’ve never taken a

Not really sure what I’m looking for here but I’ve noticed a lot of kids who appear to be migrants on the subway selling candy. Often they’re with a parent but today I saw two without parents. One was crying as he tried to sell me gum. I asked him (in Spanish) where his parents

I’ve got a lot of time in my afternoons right now as I muddle though unemployment. What museums/activities/experiences should I take advantage of while I have days free in NYC? submitted by /u/Rowsdower92 [link] [comments]

All I hear is moaning. Who’s happy about it? I’d like to see Manhattan resident parking permits next personally. submitted by /u/MaximumTale4700 [link] [comments]

Our apartment hasn’t had heat for over 48 hours and we texted the landlord as soon as we noticed the issue. I got fed up of sleeping without heat so I called him and mentioned that it’s 60 degrees so I’m wondering when he can turn it on. He started getting pissed over the phone

Monday and Tuesday next week, my phone thinks we’re going to get 12-15 inches of snow. It could prove wrong as we get closer, but right now it thinks 4-5″ on the 6th and 8-10″ on the 7th. For those who remember big snows here, what’s it like? I vaguely remember getting big snows like

Can be a cafe, restaurant, neighborhood, park, a street, nature Here are some examples and why: Jamaica Bay Wildlife Preserve Trail: feels like the middle of the woods City Island: feels like a New England fishing village Roll-n-Roaster: huge; feels like a restaurant somewhere in the middle of the country you’d stop at on a
