I just found out about Fair Fares (half price MetroCards) after living here for a long time. What other programs did you find out about way after you could’ve been using them? How did you finally discover them? Trying to understand what’s actually out there that people don’t know about submitted by /u/Independent_Reveal87 [link] [comments]

I have been in the city less than a year and I have never felt more authentic to myself since landing here. I have a good job but everything around here is just more exhausting, to the point where I (and I believe the others) just dont wear any social mask anymore. Also, this city

I recently saw a guy in a Spider-Man costume casually eating a slice of pizza on top of a mailbox while arguing with someone on FaceTime and nobody around him even blinked. It made me realize how wonderfully absurd and unique this city can be. So now I’m curious: What’s your most “only in New

If it’s 100°F (38°C) outside in New York, the subway can easily feel 110–120°F. I’m literally stocking up on groceries because I’ll not step outside submitted by /u/nickaboome [link] [comments]

Sorry if the question has been asked before. I’m genuinely asking, because the last 10 years the one thing that unites every non Trump voters is the deserved hatred of Trump, if you really hate Trump for everything he has done how can you possibly want to bring Cuomo back to power when the guy

I was drugged at Barcade midtown a while ago—about 3 years ago. I didn’t realize I was drugged until I recently described what happened to me to a doctor friend. I assumed I had a panic attack because it happened so quickly after a couple sips of my drink, but she said my description of

So I’m pretty live and let live. Lifelong NYer, born and raised. Had to move away from 2020- early 2025 because [reasons]. During my time away I visited frequently and was fascinated (and frequently dismayed) by the arc into and out of Covid. Other than a lingering tinge of menace here and there, esp in

Here was the original post https://www.reddit.com/r/AskNYC/s/LGEmAC8S3S We are a family with 8 and 11 year old daughters. Thanks to some of the posters who indicated family groups going. Knowing that we decided to go for it if kids were game. Our 11 year old flat out refused. She said she was afraid of the police

I appreciate that Assemblymember Mamdani is focused on affordability, NYC is brutally expensive, and something clearly needs to change. But I’m skeptical that policies like rent freezes, a higher minimum wage, fare-free buses, and redirecting NYPD funding to mental health outreach actually solve the underlying problems. Some concerns I have: * Rent freezes might sound

Whether its a tourist location or any food place, which one do you think is the most overrated? I have often heard that Halal Guys is grossly overrated, what other place you would never recommend to anyone? submitted by /u/CreateChaos777 [link] [comments]

Cuomo is leading the polls, but I have yet to talk to many folks IRL that are actually voting for him. I’m genuinely asking— what’s the appeal? The only arguments I’ve heard so far are “You need a monster to fight a monster” (a reference to protecting NYC against Trump) and mentions of Cuomo’s experience

The Administration has arrived at a clear formula: Stoke up anger & resentment via highly provocative and indiscriminate ICE arrests (eg outside home depot) Use ICE protests as justitifcation for violent responses, yielding more protests Escalate, pick fights with local officials and state government, send in increasingly significant troops Basically, thrive on provoking chaos to

The night of 6/6, my dog got attacked at Hudson River Park and ran away around 830 pm. I sprinted up and down (barefoot) from the 50s to time square to Columbus circle up Broadway, following the directions of people who said they saw her. After 45 mins of sprinting, a gal in riverside park

Hi all! Wanted to get a neutral take on this. Got a job offer in Albany for 200k + bonus. 4 days a week 8-5. Leaving NYC isn’t an option (going through a divorce/just signed a new lease). Currently make around 150k now and hate my job, so looking for a new position. Really tempted

My buddy just took his healthy 3 year old cat to get a haircut (a “trim”) at a groomer in Williamsburg. When he picked up the cat it was basically shaved to the skin, trembling, and immobile. Within a few hours the cat died. The grooming place has generally decent reviews on google but there

Really hate doing this, as this is my favorite chain theater in the city, but during an afternoon screening of Thunderbolts in auditorium 6 at AMC Lincoln Square today I saw not one but TWO mice or small rats happily scurrying up the aisle. Literally the first time I have experienced this in any NYC

It’s a wide variety of people as well, such as college students, Wall Street bros, rich peeps along Central Park, regular people… even High schoolers! Along with this
