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]

just saw a tiktok that said “no matter the weather, nyc is iced only” and the person proceeded to record a bunch of people, with their face in the frame, holding an iced drink. some of these ppl were texting on the phone, sitting in a train car, walking, waiting for the train. what piqued

Before all the “I LOVE DOGS HOW COULD YOU TRY TO STOP THEM” people downvote me, let’s be real. The new norm is that people bring their dogs to places where they are not allowed. Next I know people will shout: “BUT WHAT IF IT’S A SERVICE DOG!?” Guys, most of these dogs aren’t service

Hi everyone. I hope it’s ok to post this here. I have a lot of good friends with a lot of lived experiences but I’m not sure if they fully understand what my partner and I saw on Monday. I’m wondering if I can talk one on one with someone who has witnessed something like

I’m trying to get back to eating salads, so I went to Sweet Green today on Wall Street. A robot made my salad, and it did a bad job. So I’m wondering if people have suggestions for some good alternatives? I know there is a Just Salad nearby, but I’ve never been a big fan

I’m getting kicked out of my apartment this weekend without any where to stay for the foreseeable future. I have a job but I only make about $1000 a month I’m putting my belongings in a self storage facility nearby and planning to get a gym membership to be able to shower. What are the

Is this a weird question? Yes. Has it plagued me for a really long time? Also yes. Check it out, if you swam towards Manhattan the coastline would probably be easier to find a spot to get out of the water, I think. But it ends sooner. You could go towards Brooklyn which is longer,

Just moved back to NYC after living here a few years ago. I am in a much better place in my life/career/finances than last time and want to make sure I can have a more successful/sustainable dating life this time around. Trying to figure out how you guys are managing to not overspend on dates.

My answer is : not realizing the importance of a quiet bedroom / apartment (or not realizing how an apartment facing a noisy street can ruin your life) edit for those asking: I once lived on 6th Ave in the 20s for a few months and the frequent fire trucks and ambulances running up the

Sup y’all. We’ve got some news. I think most of us will be relieved. Over the past couple of years, all of the NYC subreddits have tripled in size. Those of us that have been here for years have noticed the influx of shitter questions, clueless posters, and literally just dumb posts. The team have

Bonus points if you’re still with the person. submitted by /u/NYC_Noguestlist [link] [comments]
