I need to get my things from my ex in Brooklyn and I feel unsafe going on my own. I’d like to hire a guy just for that time to just accompany me as I go and pick them up. I’m just a regular person but also know no one in the city (only traveling […]

This morning on my way to work this Hispanic man probably in his 40s got on the train with me and sat right next to this little Hispanic girl commuting alone with her backpack probably going to school. She was on her phone playing games and this man started talking to her jokingly in Spanish.

I (NY Native) was on the train and some guy was leaning on a pole on a crowded train, not jam packed but holding space was limited. I hate these kind of people with a passion. Like if the train has like the doors standing area open, then it’s fair game but otherwise, you’re a

I’m female in my early 30’s working in corporate finance. I’ve been in the city for 2 years now, and during this time I’ve joined a social club, volunteer weekly at a children’s hospital, taken a couple art classes, tried Bumble BFF and even tried to create a bookclub. While I’ve met people and been

In follow-up to yesterday’s post: with the help of you guys I was able to find the family of the woman who sadly passed away in my arms on an UES sidewalk, and let them know she didn’t die in solitude. I’m so grateful :’) Because you all commented and upvoted, this post had a

Around 7pm on Monday I spotted an elderly woman (Black/brown, around 75-85 years old) lying on the sidewalk of 63rd and 2nd Avenue. She had a Bloomingdales shopping bag and a pink handbag (just mentioning for possible identification). Something was clearly wrong. She was not able to form words anymore, but was still conscious. I

So my friend has been renting a place in NYC, and things were fine until recently. The building management installed these new elevators that require you to scan your keycard every time you use them. But here’s the weird part—they’re only allowed to use the elevator three times a day. If they go over, they

I am not worried about the actual rally, but I’m worried his unhinged supporters are going to use the night as an opportunity to show NYC what’s up and intimidate the people who live here through violence. I worry what kind of people this will attract during the weekend but also immediately around the rally.

I moved out of my Brooklyn apartment three months ago, and my landlord still hasn’t returned my security deposit. I left the place in great shape—cleaned everything, no damage beyond normal wear and tear. I’ve tried calling and emailing, but they keep brushing me off, saying they’re “waiting for paperwork to clear.” It’s starting to

Assuming you’re not extremely wealthy and paying 10 million is like spending pocket change, is it even worth buying in the city these days? Maintenance fees/taxes and interest on a mortgage are almost always more expensive than renting. Am I missing something? I don’t think there’s much expectation for New York real estate prices to

Why do three of them show up at once now every 20-30 minutes, instead of one every 5 minutes like it used to be? MTA count your fucking days bro. I’m getting sick of waiting around, while you raise the fare for shittier service submitted by /u/mindlessdegenerate [link] [comments]

I feel like this is one of those NYC hacks that people don’t talk about openly because it can involve stereotyping, but if I want a seat on the train, I try to stand closer to people who look like they’ll be getting off sooner — and avoid standing near people who look like they’re

I’m talking stuff you can only pull off after living here for years, know people, etc. Stuff that’s out of a movie and no tourist could imagine. (Example: getting on the board of something and then having the rules changed…) submitted by /u/asah [link] [comments]

A friend recently had her phone stolen within a day of arriving in Rome for her honeymoon…..which got me thinking/wondering. Why are pickpockets so common in a lot of European cities – but not so much in NYC? Is there a historical/social/cultural explanation? To me, NYC would seem to be ideal for pickpockets – densely

I’m mostly talking appearance wise. I’m a woman and I’ve lived here for 6 years but I’m still stunned at how many beautiful people are in this city. In fact recently I was scrolling through my guy friend’s hinge and it honestly made me feel pretty bad. The amount of gorgeous women just within a
