I (early 30s guy) was walking near my office in Midtown yesterday weaving through some people to cross 51st between 6th and 7th. Right before I got to the curb, some guy stepped backwards into my way. He was a big guy wearing all black with big sunglasses. He put his fingertips on my stomach

I moved here recently and am having a hard time actually finding and seeing a doctor. I have Cigna health insurance and am trying to find an OBGYN/Primary Care doctor as well as a Mental health doctor that is skilled and knowledgable. Literally everywhere I tried so far I have been put with a PA

This was the first time for me and my wife. She made it to 91st St on the East side and tapped out after dinner at Chez Nicks. I started at 7:00am sharp and was able to finish at 12:10am. I am far short of being athletic, so it was slow and steady all day

I walk outside for 5 min and my eyes start itching and nose starts running like a faucet. Anyone else? It seems really bad this year. Is it recency bias or is it climate change or did they plant too many trees? Noticed it’s also always so windy these days!! submitted by /u/screwbitfloor [link] [comments]

I’ve been living in NYC for 16 years. The homelessness situation was never this bad. I always thought San Francisco was on another level with homelessness, but I was recently there and it wasn’t nearly as bad as what I see daily here. I take the J train from lower Manhattan every day, and there’s

On Sunday in the middle of the day at Atlantic Av-Barclays subway station, a man (6+’ ft black man and I’m a 5′ Asian woman) approached me and snatched my phone. While trying to ask for it back, the man hit me really hard in the chest. I was able to get my phone back

The issues with Adam’s are obvious but I haven’t lived in NYC long enough to have experienced Cuomo firsthand. I’ve heard a lot of random negative stories but I was hoping to short list of like, 10 things that (ideally) was honest about his failures and accomplishments. submitted by /u/Taborask [link] [comments]

NB. I lived in Paris. Toulouse. Casablanca. Seoul. Dubai. Austin. Salt lake City. San Francisco and Jersey City. Every place of these has its own charm, but none has everything. Business. Fun.

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,
