ELI5: Why are the logistics of the World Cup matches any different from normal games at Metlife stadium?

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

$2.90 sliders with 100% grass-fed beef from Jubilee Marketplace in Greenpoint. They also have $5 whole rotisserie chicken.

Jubilee Marketplace (Greenpoint) – Google Maps Page Very tasty and high quality sliders, especially for the price. They’re more hefty than the average slider. Apparently the margins are very low on them. Used to be $2.55, but understandably higher now given everything is more expensive. Also used to be called a burger, but they caught

Does anyone else feel like they’re living in a completely different city than people who moved here 8 years ago?

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

question for girls that date guys: Is there a nonconsensual choking epidemic in NYC or something?

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

Kunafa Bites: my newest favorite food truck makes fresh kunafa until midnight (Astoria, Queens)

Kunafa Bites – Google Maps Page This Nablus kunafa comes in multiple sizes. This was the medium for $15, if I remember correctly. Took about 7-8 min to freshly make. It was excellent. Crispy on top with gooey stretchy cheese on the bottom. It was sweet, syrupy, and nutty from the pistachios. I damn near

What are some smaller benefits of living in NYC that are only apparent when you leave the city?

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

Looking for a place to hang out today and tomorrow. I can’t stay at home. Work is closed. Libraries are closed:(. I don’t have money to spend. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do? Also, it’s raining:(

EDIT: Thanks for everyone’s suggestions! I have the AMC thing that is 4 movies per month so yesterday I saw 2 and had coffee and hot chocolate in a hotels lobby before that. Must say that, beside the one, many of the hotels ask you as soon as you come in either for your key

Din Soup Dumplings 鼎泰轩 | Brooklyn Heights Mini Dumplings

Their mini dumplings tasted really good, as well as their crab & pork soup dumplings. I just wish they provided more mini dumplings and didn’t add a bunch of lettuce at the bottom of the container to give the illusion that there were more than there actually were.
