Wondering what to do in the city on this Saturday afternoon. submitted by /u/Dramatic-Highway1969 [link] [comments]

There’s a guy on my street corner who sings the chorus of Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing every night from 8pm to midnight on repeat. Very badly. Every night. Really loudly. If I go down to tell him to stop, he stops singing as soon as I make eye contact with him. When I turn my

Are there any gyms left in the city that’s just a bunch of rough meatheads pushing heavy shit? Over the past 10+ years I’ve lost all of mine in upper Manhattan, one by one. I can’t find any with the kind of vibe I love. Squat racks, clanging plates, loud yelling when someone goes for

I somehow ended up working for a famous person this year—not at all my intended path or field, and when I was hired, the role was definitely NOT pitched as “support this famous person,” which is all it’s turned out to be. I’m trying to stick it out for my résumé’s and bank account’s sake

I know this is a little pathetic, but please be kind. Best friend died and I have no family in the area; most of my other friends have either left NYC or are away for the summer/busy for the next couple weeks. My therapist of course is helping, but we’re virtual and this is not

This is by far the weirdest illness I‘ve ever experienced, and I’m really struggling to knock it. About three weeks ago, I was at work when I started to feel a slightly scratchy throat around 3 pm. By the time I got home, I was curled up in bed with a fever and intense body

I’m a licensed GC working in NYC high‑end residential and brownstone renovations, and I want to push back on how fast the conversation around the Midtown building situation turned into “non‑union bad, union good,” instead of talking about the actual safety system that keeps failing workers. From what we know so far, the sequence is

Over the past couple days I’ve seen a lot of “13+87=100” and “T&T forever” ads on subway ad boards and bus stop signs. Who is footing the bill for this ridiculous celebrity worship? I really hope someone paid a lot of money for those and the city isn’t doing it for free. submitted by /u/Smacksmackums

I’ve been living in NYC for about 6 years now. I’m a transplant, not an OG New Yorker, and one thing I’ve noticed is that every few years I feel like I have to make a whole new group of friends. People I get close to eventually leave, some move to the West Coast, some

Or do they have smaller/normal places for the average worker? submitted by /u/Heyhey-_ [link] [comments]

I signed up and had all my friends do it too. Not a single one of us has won yet and tomorrow is the last day for winners to get announced. Is the system not working or is there just a huge volume of lottery applicants? submitted by /u/Bananahs_ [link] [comments]

ETA: To the kind Redditor who offered me a lottery ticket she won’t use, thanks so much! Like an idiot, I accidentally hit ignore request! I hope you read this so you won’t think I intentionally didn’t respond. BUT, I’m really thinking about bypassing the crowds and doing something quieter after all. Thanks though! Hope

Looking for a place where kids and parents go where kids don’t get what they want or are having “a day” and they wail and beg. Bonus points if the parents are fuming and seconds away from packing it all up and taking everyone home. This is for a small local research project. No persons

The people who solicit fake cabs at the airport are the worst. I travel regularly for work and constantly see naive tourists getting scammed by these guys. Last week I told a couple not to get in as there buddy in the car was pulling up and the guy started freaking out and threatening me.

I live in lower manhattan and last went to Canal street like 5 years ago cuz an out of town friend wanted to buy a purse. Then it was mostly Chinese ladies selling reps and would show u like a catalogue of what they had. I walked by today and its all African men selling

Like I think Malagasy food comes to mind, with there being not a single restaurant specializing in food from Madagascar. There might be side dishes at French places but I don’t think that should count. Wondering what else is out there Honorable mention: German Butterbrezels. The German restaurants here only have the giant ones to

Has anyone seen this new trend of kids as soon as the subway doors open, they throw themselves on the ground and pretend like they have passed out or something is wrong? Like they AGGRESSIVELY throw themselves on the floor. I was on the L train today and some kid (Latino I assume) threw himself

I know sex and the city was a thing generations ago But when my millennial ass moved here after school, West Village was always extremely out of reach, even among my most striver of friends who worked in finance and biglaw. 20-something girls living there were completely nonexistent But now it’s a thing? Did it

Yesterday (6/20 at 5 pm), a man on the 4 train suddenly started beating the shit out of two older men, including my 70 year old father. A guy in a blue T-shirt immediately stepped in to subdue him. I’m horrified to think what would have happened if he had not been there. He left

Compared to let’s say the Yankees dynasty in the 1990’s or the eli manning Giants that won 2 superbowls I have heard people claim they have united NYC in a way no other championship team has submitted by /u/MasterTeacher123 [link] [comments]

I know nothing is going to ever come close to matching the energy of Knicks winning.. but oh my god Saturday was unbelievable. Brown bagging and projectors and dance parties on every block. I absolutely loved dancing with you all. I want summer 2026 to be more of this: more joy, less performative bs. Where

https://abc7ny.com/post/central-park-carriage-horse-gets-loose-leaving-1-person-injured-nyc/19317465/ The video is insane to watch. Tragic for the young man killed and another example of why this needs to be outlawed. It’s been time. submitted by /u/After-Snow5874 [link] [comments]

FOMO is hitting me so hard right now … what’s the partying scene like over there the social atmosphere? Does it feel more safe or more dangerous ? Overall is it just lit? submitted by /u/Fightingspirit12345 [link] [comments]

No matter the location form parks to every form of transit there are people not using headphones. I was in my doctors waiting room the other day feeling like garbage and someone was playing stuff from their phone so loudly making this so much worse. The same with relaxing at restaurant and these people next

I saw a video of a mob of people cheering on some dudes as they tore down a bus stop sign. Some good guy tried to stop them and the crowd booed him and then the dudes attacked him. Also normal guys in Spurs jerseys getting physically assaulted while people film it and cheer. Seriously
