Just compared to these other global cities. I don´t wanna know about Springfield. submitted by /u/Weekly_Sort147 [link] [comments]

I’m so mad at myself, I fell for the dumbest scam ever. Before you read this, just know that I was really, really dumb. 3 young men approached me in Washington Mews (that cute little european looking street by Washington Square Park) asking for a donation for their youth basketball club. I opened up my

Just made an appointment for 9/11 and thought I’d share. I’m over 65, so I’m eligible just by virtue of age, but I was still told I needed doctor’s prescription. It’s not a problem, I’ll get it called in, but that’s a first. I’ve taken only Pfizer since the onset of Covid, and I know

I’m going to be homeless this Friday and I honestly don’t know what else to do. I’ve been job searching for over a year and nothing has come through. I’m not looking for advice on “fixing my resume”, I’ve already redone it countless times, tailored it, gotten referrals, and still run into ghost jobs, internal

I found a diamond earring on a subway seat today. The back clasp is missing. I think it may have belonged to the person who got up right before I sat down. If you think it’s yours, please reply with a description of the earring, the subway line, and the time you were riding. If

After rent, food, MTA hikes feel hard to survive and being debt-free submitted by /u/Fit-Commercial-5430 [link] [comments]

This is for those of us who lived elsewhere in the US before relocating to NYC (or otherwise have nostalgic ties to another state). For a city that has everything, it kind of misses out on stuff other parts of the US that are typically only found regionally or in that state only (for logistical

Examples: My ex who was initially wary of the city falling in love with it but thinking Two Boots was some obscure, little-known NYC indie pizza joint. A tourist spotting their first 7 Souls Deep art and thinking they came across some oft-overlooked poetry. Visitors thinking Union Square (while fantastic!) is officially THE hippest spot

This morning, I caught the security guard on Wall st and William st. (In the financial district) filming women as they walked by, including myself. When I asked him to stop, he laughed and continued to do so. I didn’t have my phone on me, so I came back later and he was still doing

The city is developing a “ Manhattan Plan” to add 100k homes in Manhattan and is asking for ideas: https://manhattanplan.nyc Curious what this sub thinks – where should they upzone and build more home? submitted by /u/Lisalovesreading [link] [comments]

I saw someone fall/jump from a building on Lafayette near the corner of Astor today around 5 PM. They fell into an alley way between two buildings. Called 911 but I had to go and I have no idea if this person was ok. I’m hoping someone else was there and can give me more

I’m (36M) new to New York and recently tried to schedule a dinner date with someone (29F) who works in the medical field. On the day of the date, she texted me “it’s unbearably hot today, could you pick me up later or perhaps send an uber over?” The request was a bit odd to

I come to this subreddit as I am desperate for help, I apologize if that is not the proper place. My sister has been living in NYC for almost 10 years now, she is french but got a green card. Almost two years ago she had some kind of burn out/mental breakdown and lost her

Making sure I’m not going crazy because I don’t see anything on the news wire — around 11:30 AM today, I was walking north on Hudson Street in Tribeca and it happened so quickly, but I’m 99% sure I saw a person falling from a building at Laight and Hudson Streets… they eventually landed on

Hi all – I made a promise (in prayer) that if I got my One Shot Deal, I would do an AMA. Feel free to truly ask me anything, and I’ll share what I can. Briefly: I got cancer in 2023 and managed to stay on top of rent through exhausting treatment, then completely burned

Why do (some/many) New Yorkers take a beautiful 1800s Brownstone, gut it, and turn it into a white box inside? I’m home hunting .. and I am seeing so many great brownstones that are just gutted, boring, white boxes inside … all the original moldings, carvings, stained glass, Victorian features, fireplace mantles, etc. are gone.

I recently bought a co-op and have been enjoying it for the last year or so. Recently, I have new neighbors that like to be naked all the time. It didn’t bother me at first because I just mind my business and go about my day. BUT I have noticed that they’re acting a little

Maybe it’s just me but the amount of young (30 and under) people I’ve met here that are unemployed with little desire to work is a little shocking considering how expensive this city is and how landlords ask for so much when renting out apartments here. I recently met up with two girls I met

I worked as an intern for a company in New York. From the start, they delayed paying me. My first month, I got only part of my salary. When I asked, they said the accounts team was busy filing taxes and they’d pay the rest later. Near the end of my internship, they fired me
