I’m a lifelong New Yorker. I am from the suburbs of NYC. Grew up here. Still live here. Have been going into the city my entire life. I was 11 on 9/11. I remember the day vividly. It was the start of a life of anxiety for me, never having felt such uncertainty in my […]

It makes me sad. It’s the one day I really don’t want to remember. I get why other people like to observe remembrances but it was such a terrible time. I feel like the museum and a lot of it is for people who weren’t around. They want to feel a connection to it. I

I just finished watching one of the round of 16 men’s match and it seemed like 50% of the seats were empty. submitted by /u/wgdaytona [link] [comments]

this morning i got picked up at newark in an uber. i got in early in the morning at 4am. the guy that picked me up had his young daughter, like a toddler, sitting in the passenger seat with no car seat. she slept the whole time but the uber driver kept reassuring me that

I recently moved from Toronto to the area. My job is near White Plains so I stupidly decided to lease an apartment here (I have since come to learn most people only come in 1 x a week since they all live in the city). I barely know anyone in NY. I made a mistake

This one is for all of the Native New Yorkers on here. What is the deal with Chopped Cheese? When did this become the sandwich of NYC? For me the sandwich of NYC is a Bacon Egg and Cheese on a roll. Am I wrong? submitted by /u/NewPhoneBudish [link] [comments]

Maybe not a NYC question exactly, but I’m guessing other people have run into this before. My partner is newer to the city and is trying to put the square peg of suburban life into the circle of city life, so to speak. A giant box of holiday decorations that takes up half of one

My partner and I have shared this apartment for 2 years, we have one more year on the current lease. We are probably going to break up soon. She suggested that she would keep the apartment for 2 years, and then we would switch off in 2 year cycles. I hesitantly agreed verbally. Now my

I am looking for anyone who was on or by the 49th st NRW downtown platform yesterday morning around 9:40-after 10. I was the girl who passed out and fell on the tracks. I am in pretty bad shape with broken bones, stitches, and bruises all over. But I’m alive. The only thing I remember

Born and raised NYC until very recently. had to take the bus or train for almost everything, lived in what the charities liked to call “disparaged” neighborhoods. I mention this to make the point that I was in no way sheltered from what the city had to offer. Why does everyone get super offended when

I was born in October 2001, so I obviously don’t remember 9/11 or the days immediately afterward. A lot of my family was here and experienced it firsthand, but whenever I ask them about the day after, their memories are kind of a blur because they were in shock. I’ve always been curious about what

I swear there used to be way more places you could grab food at 3am that werent just a bodega or a halal cart. Not talking about bars or clubs with food either. Like actual sit-down spots where you could get pancakes or a burger after a long shift or a night out. I know

Cheugy is an understatement. submitted by /u/leasetransfermiami [link] [comments]

Enjoying the day in Central Park and some bro walking behind me just said to his fellow bro “So I think Central Park is low-key the only grass in the city.” Yes, NYC’s fifth-largest park is the only grass in the city. Your examples? submitted by /u/somepeoplewait [link] [comments]

I don’t know if it’s the influx of transplants, post-COVID disregard for other people, or some combination of additional random factors, but this has become unacceptable. For reference I live in Astoria and mainly take the N/W and 4/5 trains at the 59th/Lex transfer. I know I sound like a cranky elder millennial but I

One fun exchange in “Oppenheimer” was when David Krumholtz’s Isaac Rabi, in bonding with Oppenheimer, asks him how it is he could be an NYC kid and Jewish and never learned a word of Yiddish. Robert says, “Not as much of it spoken on my side of the park.” Rabi smirks at the classist remark

I’m currently basically on my couch non stop because of depression. I have to move in a month, I have savings, but my income sucks so I don’t even know if I can get a new lease. And I don’t really have the motivation to look for sublets either. I was talking to someone who

Recently came across a thread from a few years ago and dove into a rabbit hole of cool stuff Manhattan and the other boroughs have that’s just around and show parts of history. Example the fallout shelter signs you see around are from the Cold War. Or the owl statues with eyes that light up

I’ve seen this prompt answer like 50 times and don’t understand why it’s so popular. Is it taking about the G train? If so, why is the G train only ever mentioned. I never see anyone say let’s split the C train. submitted by /u/AreHorsesNiceOrMean [link] [comments]

My family rents a floor in a multi-family home in Queens, NYC. We pay roughly $2K a month and have lived here for over 10+ years (we got a new landlord ~5 years ago). We live on the first floor, and our landlord’s family lives on the second floor. A few years ago, my family

Bunch of new scaffolding went up near me, I was curious about it so I took a pic of those laminated permits posted on the wall of the site. A guy in a hard hat comes up to me and says “that’s not allowed.” I said it is allowed and walked away. He called after

Hey New Yorkers, I turned 30 and now my feet hurt all the time but I’m not ready to embrace chunky dad sneakers year round yet. What sandals are you all wearing that are comfortable and durable enough for regularly getting 10k plus steps every day? Bonus points if they’re not orthotic looking. submitted by

My fiancée passed by his own choice a few months ago and I can only quietly sob in the shower or my pillow. I want to take a bat into some woods or break things. I don’t want the police called on me, I just want to let my pain out for a try, not

We all know about the massive cost of living here but what’s a tiny, hyper specific thing you willingly overpay for just to make city life 1% easier? For me, it’s dropping extra cash at a specific neighborhood wash and fold because they actually match my socks and use lavender detergent. to my family back
