Am I being scammed? I’m in a taxi from LGA going into Manhattan. The meter says $70. The driver said it’s a flat rate from LGA. I think he’s lying but I’m already in the car on the freeway. Did something change? I’ve never been charged flat rate from LGA, but I usually take the bus/subway.

Restaurants’ Migration from Resy (back) to Opentable

I’ve received notices from several prominent restaurants in the last couple of months that they’re moving their reservations book back to OpenTable. One of these restaurants that I go to extremely often told me they grew tired of Resy’s many mandates for preferential treatment of Amex customers. I know this part of the business is

We just got this sandwich from Radio Bakery and it’s the best sandwich I can remember eating and I am telling everyone about it

Burrata, prosciutto, basil on focaccia. Just incredible. I couldn’t believe how good it was. Miraculous. We got in right under the wire too, by the time we finished eating they were out of food for the day. I consider myself so lucky that I got to have this. submitted by /u/smokedoor5 [link] [comments]

Rent raised by $2k

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

Why can’t NYC ferry run more services and become one of the major ways of transportation?

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

How to deal with people using “laptop offices” in coffee shops for 8+ hours?

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?”

Cops always on phone

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,

Carne Asada bowl from a food truck. I was expecting something that looked like Chipotle

I got lunch from a food truck on 49th and 6th and was looking for something tasty and easy to eat. I was not expecting this. It was seasoned well but it was impossible to eat with just a plastic fork and knife. It is taking me days to cut through. submitted by /u/owjim [link]

When did Sweet Green get weird?? Any recommendations for alternative salad places around Wall Street?

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

If you fell off of the East River Ferry, should you swim towards Manhattan or Brooklyn?

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,

I created a custom Google Map with this subreddit’s most popular restaurants

It currently has the top 100 posts from February, sorted by upvotes. I then filtered to only posts that review a single restaurant and used a combination of AI and the Google Maps API to fetch the proper maps links and locations, before exporting it to a shareable custom Google Map. Tapping on any of
