I am sorry to be grim – I came across the body of a man who had very recently jumped off a building on 23rd street by 7th ave yesterday at 7pm. The cops wouldn’t arrive for another 15 minutes or so, though I thankfully did not see him hit and had my headphones in

I (f23) will be living with my boyfriend in May. I already live in NYC and I currently work at Starbucks making about $30-$32,000 a year. We are going to be living in Astoria and I’ll be paying $1000 toward rent. I am worried this is too high as this will essentially be two entire

Would you personally feel more “at home” in some Latin American, European, or Asian cities than you would in, say, the rural Midwest or rural Deep South? submitted by /u/Early-Ingenuity-3177 [link] [comments]

Still reeling a bit from getting let go but trying to look at this as a positive because this job was mentally and emotionally destroying me. I’ve never had more than a week long break as an adult. Keeping my limited budget in mind what are some things I should do around the city that

I’m an NYU student who had to take an emergency medical leave, I was not aware they give you only 48 hours to move out of student housing. I have nowhere to go, my family is very violent and it’s unlikely they’ll allow me to stay with them anyway. I would like to stay near

I have been a frequent park goer for years, and I’ve never seen such crazy dog/owner behavior till recently. Some including (all unleashed): – an off leash puppy that almost got torn to shreds after consistently pestering a reactive dog while its owner yelled “not friendly” – children being chased by growling dogs – dogs

I just wanna get home bro Edit: okay the train is finally moving but I thought I was about to be an extra on Hijack with Idris Elba submitted by /u/lenolalatte [link] [comments]

Can be luxury items, or just practical quality-of-life stuff. Could be apartment, commuting, groceries, winter, laundry, noise, pet stuff, whatever. Curious what people bought that turned out to be way more useful than expected. submitted by /u/16bananas [link] [comments]

Who governs or oversees ConEdison? Two men showed up at my house asking for $500 cash and when I asked if I could pay online they said no, they weren’t waiting and were cutting off our electricity. I’d been enrolled in autopay for years and didn’t realize a charge hadn’t gone through. I googled the

Just got off work and walking in Manhattan and it’s soooo beautiful out and everyone is out and about with friends or in couples or families. And I’m acutely aware of how lonely and sad I am? Everyone is in their little bubbles. I have individual friends scattered throughout the boroughs, and my family is

I feel like 80%+ of Ubers / Lyfts I’ve taken in the last year have either smelled like cigarettes or BO. They used to be much cleaner than yellow cabs and yet now they’re pretty much the same. Curious if others have noticed this or I’m just crazy. submitted by /u/InTylerWeTrust24 [link] [comments]

I feel like every person in nyc is either pursuing lifelong passions or working jobs where they make hundreds of thousand a year. I’m struggling to feel like I belong as just a regular person trying to make it day to day. submitted by /u/OtherFaithlessness42 [link] [comments]

Looking for my Uber, driver yells to get my attention, answered “yes” when I asked “are you so-and-so” (instead of “what’s your name? who are you here for?) Same vehicle type/color but I failed to check the plates. Long flights, tired etc. but both of those are on me. 5 minutes in, I realize the

I know this sounds insane, but would anyone be willing to stop by and kill a water bug in my bathroom for $? I am desperate and need to pee but I’m so scared I can’t do it. They are my number 1 phobia. Please DM if you can help – I’m in east village

Hello All! I am in a bit of a situation where I don’t have a place to sleep. I am not unhoused, just a bit of a situation at home where I don’t feel I can stay there at the moment. Some things I have tried: The subway-The A train to Far Rockaway. First time

For weeks, I wouldn’t get hot water from around 9-11 pm, so I’d end up showering late and going to bed late. Then suddenly when the temp here in nyc got really cold again this week, I didn’t get any hot water at all. At best, it was lukewarm, and when I was trying to

Hi all, I am seriously wondering how people can afford to stay here. Been here almost a decade and the rise in costs–especially since the pandemic–are absolutely crushing us. Our situation is: We make about $145,000 as a couple before taxes, both later 30s Our previous apartment’s lease could not be renewed, so we just

Shits expensive yo. But really I make $63000 right now before deductions. I have enough for a down payment I just don’t quite have enough for mortgage payments. Do you think at my age women aren’t going to be interested in dating me because I haven’t moved out? submitted by /u/MisterPuffyNipples [link] [comments]

Hi – I have a facial disfigurement since childhood and have struggled with dating as a result. I am looking for a therapist who has experience working with disfigurement/visible difference and can talk to me about the real impacts it has on how people perceive me in dating + some of the practical decision making

Crazy how quickly that infrastructure has downgraded. By the time service in the tunnels is implemented, we’re not going to have any service in the actual stations submitted by /u/untamedjohn [link] [comments]
