I’m a licensed GC working in NYC high‑end residential and brownstone renovations, and I want to push back on how fast the conversation around the Midtown building situation turned into “non‑union bad, union good,” instead of talking about the actual safety system that keeps failing workers. From what we know so far, the sequence is […]

Over the past couple days I’ve seen a lot of “13+87=100” and “T&T forever” ads on subway ad boards and bus stop signs. Who is footing the bill for this ridiculous celebrity worship? I really hope someone paid a lot of money for those and the city isn’t doing it for free. submitted by /u/Smacksmackums

I’ve been living in NYC for about 6 years now. I’m a transplant, not an OG New Yorker, and one thing I’ve noticed is that every few years I feel like I have to make a whole new group of friends. People I get close to eventually leave, some move to the West Coast, some

Or do they have smaller/normal places for the average worker? submitted by /u/Heyhey-_ [link] [comments]

I signed up and had all my friends do it too. Not a single one of us has won yet and tomorrow is the last day for winners to get announced. Is the system not working or is there just a huge volume of lottery applicants? submitted by /u/Bananahs_ [link] [comments]

ETA: To the kind Redditor who offered me a lottery ticket she won’t use, thanks so much! Like an idiot, I accidentally hit ignore request! I hope you read this so you won’t think I intentionally didn’t respond. BUT, I’m really thinking about bypassing the crowds and doing something quieter after all. Thanks though! Hope

Looking for a place where kids and parents go where kids don’t get what they want or are having “a day” and they wail and beg. Bonus points if the parents are fuming and seconds away from packing it all up and taking everyone home. This is for a small local research project. No persons

The people who solicit fake cabs at the airport are the worst. I travel regularly for work and constantly see naive tourists getting scammed by these guys. Last week I told a couple not to get in as there buddy in the car was pulling up and the guy started freaking out and threatening me.

I live in lower manhattan and last went to Canal street like 5 years ago cuz an out of town friend wanted to buy a purse. Then it was mostly Chinese ladies selling reps and would show u like a catalogue of what they had. I walked by today and its all African men selling

Like I think Malagasy food comes to mind, with there being not a single restaurant specializing in food from Madagascar. There might be side dishes at French places but I don’t think that should count. Wondering what else is out there Honorable mention: German Butterbrezels. The German restaurants here only have the giant ones to

Has anyone seen this new trend of kids as soon as the subway doors open, they throw themselves on the ground and pretend like they have passed out or something is wrong? Like they AGGRESSIVELY throw themselves on the floor. I was on the L train today and some kid (Latino I assume) threw himself

I know sex and the city was a thing generations ago But when my millennial ass moved here after school, West Village was always extremely out of reach, even among my most striver of friends who worked in finance and biglaw. 20-something girls living there were completely nonexistent But now it’s a thing? Did it

Yesterday (6/20 at 5 pm), a man on the 4 train suddenly started beating the shit out of two older men, including my 70 year old father. A guy in a blue T-shirt immediately stepped in to subdue him. I’m horrified to think what would have happened if he had not been there. He left

Compared to let’s say the Yankees dynasty in the 1990’s or the eli manning Giants that won 2 superbowls I have heard people claim they have united NYC in a way no other championship team has submitted by /u/MasterTeacher123 [link] [comments]

I know nothing is going to ever come close to matching the energy of Knicks winning.. but oh my god Saturday was unbelievable. Brown bagging and projectors and dance parties on every block. I absolutely loved dancing with you all. I want summer 2026 to be more of this: more joy, less performative bs. Where

FOMO is hitting me so hard right now … what’s the partying scene like over there the social atmosphere? Does it feel more safe or more dangerous ? Overall is it just lit? submitted by /u/Fightingspirit12345 [link] [comments]

No matter the location form parks to every form of transit there are people not using headphones. I was in my doctors waiting room the other day feeling like garbage and someone was playing stuff from their phone so loudly making this so much worse. The same with relaxing at restaurant and these people next

I saw a video of a mob of people cheering on some dudes as they tore down a bus stop sign. Some good guy tried to stop them and the crowd booed him and then the dudes attacked him. Also normal guys in Spurs jerseys getting physically assaulted while people film it and cheer. Seriously

I have a friend who basically treats the supermarket like an extension of his fridge. It’s right across the street so he goes there every day and buys a couple of things. For example, he will decide what to make for dinner, go to the store to buy the ingredients, and then make dinner. Then

Title. I live in NY but commute to NJ occasionally for various reasons, and have been buying into a lot of the fearmongering about how the city will shut down completely during the World Cup matches. But then I just saw a comment on another post that made this exact point: how is it any

Video: https://imgur.com/a/ZYkSBoc Tonight around 7PM, I was walking with a cane after dinner at Nyonya on Grand St. I stopped in front of 203 Grand St to talk with a friend when something hit me hard on the head – a sharp, jarring pain. I looked down and saw a rock about the size of

I’ve been here almost two years and I swear every time I mention rent or groceries to people who’ve been here longer, they look at me like I’m being dramatic. What got me thinking about this was my two friends who moved here 8 years ago the way they talk about their early NY days

I am looking for a employment lawyer to help me with my case! Any recs? submitted by /u/CoverNo9020 [link] [comments]

I (29F) have been single for almost two years. I have sporadically decided to be a part of NYC dating and hookup culture. I am not being hyperbolic when I saw more than half of the men I’ve slept with in this city over the past two years have choked me, spanked me, pulled my

I (32, woman) was riding a very crowded A train. A girl of about 11 was pushing between people to get between her sister and her mom (who were sitting opposite each other with people standing between the two benches) with a giant bottle of bubble liquid. She was blowing bubbles but also spilling a

For example, I love going to the movies. I also have lots of family and friends in the Hudson Valley, so I leave the city fairly often, and when I do, I sometimes go to the movies with them. Finding a theater where audience members all have proper theater etiquette can be a real struggle

Before anyone gets concerned, I want to clarify this isn’t anything worrying or shady LOL. I just really enjoy finding ‘liminal’ spaces in NYC, quiet or weird spots amongst the craziness where no one would think to go. I’m currently going through a break up and I’d really like to go be at peace alone
