On our block, there is not 1 but 2 retro-fitted short school buses that people live out of. I think they’re pretty cool, but some neighbors are saying our block is turning into a trailer park. submitted by /u/victrin [link] [comments]

Recently, my nephew from Vermont has come to visit. He saw an icecream truck and wanted some but I was like, no. Its not Mr. Softee. My niece caught what I meant immediately but my nephew didn’t get it so before I could, my niece explained the risks of trusting a random ice cream truck.

Hey Guys, My GF and I are looking for an apartment and we’d love to live in Greenpoint. We particularly like the area around McGolrick Park.. but have read lots of bad information about the cancer rates in the area. How seriously should we consider that? Is it really much different than living in Bushwick

Last time I saw this thread was back before the pandemic so I think it’s time for an updated version in 2025. So, let’s hear ’em! Whether the most disgusting, most ratty, most needlessly expensive, shittiest drinks, worst clientele, most obnoxious bartenders, the sky’s the limit, what’s the bar in New York City that you

I just got my first post grad job with a salary of 32k. I live in queens and my rent is 750$ a month so I know I can survive. But I did the math and 32k a year translates to $15.38 an hour. I know minimum wage is $16.50. Is this legal? Edit: I

Hey y’all, I’m a 25-year-old guy living in NYC. I’m unemployed right now, my credit’s not great, and I’m still living at home. It’s not the best environment (emotionally or otherwise), and I know I need to move on—but money’s tight, the job market’s rough, and I feel stuck. I’ve had jobs in the past,

was having a discussion about this with my coworkers. We commonly go to London for work, and one of them is Indian-born but grew up partially in London. A big one we all came to agreement with was that Londoners are kinda cold and aloof whereas new yorkers are very fiery and impassioned. Both are

Guys am I crazy… but its 9am (past sunrise) why is it so dark like its 6am? Is this really just a storm cloud? I feel like all my clocks are off… edit: Im an idiot. Its 9pm not am. I thought I slept through the night. submitted by /u/Delta_2_Echo [link] [comments]

i saw this image, i cant put it here, but it says, “emergency hotline opening for new yorkers who though they’d “just walk there” in another city” over an image of a person walking on a highway. pretty funny is there truth to this exaggeration? any interesting stories? submitted by /u/Traditional-Play-753 [link] [comments]

I’ll start. Despite having access to literally the best handmade pizza slices on Earth, I have been known to indulge in Dominoes or Papa John’s. submitted by /u/victrin [link] [comments]

Live with two roommates, and we just got our lease renewal. Rent went up by ~2k total / $700 pp (little over a 30% increase). I know it’s legal but feels like it shouldn’t be… I also doubt that our apartment will end up renting for the price they’re quoting for renewal. Do you think

Hey, so my shower is broken and it’s gonna take a couple days for someone to come in and fix it. I have work tomorrow and I need to shower before and after work. Id feel disgusting if I didn’t. Are there any cheap places to just shower, preferably close to penn station? I’d really

Laying on my couch looking out the window at the building across the street with the garbage bags over the windows and it’s got me thinking, again, why is this so prevalent in the neighborhood? I’ve lived in Chinatown for 8 years now and it’s a thing. Every time I bring it up to a

Fight me: NYC Ferry is the most punctual, clean, enjoyable, AND fast means of public transportation (or any transportation). If you live near east 90th street and work at Wall St, ferry is way faster than subway, always guarantee a seat, and boi the view is stunning. But the only thing is frequency – once

I just don’t get it. They’re getting paid by the MTA for what? I just saw a security guy at Dekalb Station help a girl who was having a hard time jumping the turnstile. submitted by /u/Due-Ocelot1862 [link] [comments]

The amount of lines ive stood in to then look at my friend, shrug, and go “meh” is plentiful. I also only recently understood that so many viral videos are influencers being paid to say something is good. Hit me with the good stuff! submitted by /u/Longlostjellydonut [link] [comments]

Before all the “THEY’RE PAYING CUSTOMERS TOO” people downvote me, let’s be real. The new norm is that people treat small cafes like their personal WeWork. They buy one $4 coffee and occupy a 4-person table for an entire business day. Next I know people will shout: “BUT WHAT IF THEY’RE WORKING ON IMPORTANT STUFF?”

There is a young homeless man or woman (hard to see) near my subway stop who smells strongly of urine and has been wearing the same clothes since last summer. I am about to donate a bunch of clothes and feel like I want to put aside the sweats to give to them, but idk

Anyone else ever notice that every time you walk by a cop, they are ALWAYS on their phones playing games, watch YouTube or texting? Does a core part of their job require them to text? I don’t want to assume they are not allowed to do this on the job but if they are not,

The weather is supposed to be beautiful this weekend so my friend and I are seeking some place fun, with a large and hopefully “older” crowd. Gone are the days of running around the Village surrounded by NYU students. Suggestions in Manhatten or Brooklyn will work. Thanks! submitted by /u/Girl_with_the_Curl [link] [comments]
