I’ve never been to a traditional big city before, I live in Texas and all of ours are glorified suburbs lmao. Because of that I just drive where I need because there’s nothing interesting but I feel like NYC would be different but maybe I’m wrong. If I were to ever live there I’m sure

I’m pregnant and got a craving from YEARS AGO and it was specifically the honey mustard that they used at mars 2112. I remember it being BRIGHT yellow and it is most definitely not Ken’s. I remember it being on the sweeter side. I know this is so random but I’m hoping that someone here

Had a gift card that had $100 on it, I’ve had it sitting around for a long while but didn’t use it for the first time until the other day. The card had no chip and could only be swiped, and I spent $17 at a pizzeria in West Village. Went straight back home and

I know people across the country have been reporting this, but does anyone find that it truly is the worst in NYC? I know it’s variable based on field. For reference, I work in commercial real estate, and have never worked close to the crazy IB/PE/Hedge Fund hours. But I do find that boundaries are

I’d like to start a thread on things you should do along with getting unemployment benefits that can assist in day to day living. I have an original post in r/UnemploymentNY as well. Health Insurance – This is markedly easier than it was ever before, If you’re unemployed with no health benefits you can get

I make decent bank but looking at restaurant prices these days (I should say the last couple of years) has really given me pause. I guess I really haven’t made the mental inflationary adjustment and the thought of spending $100+ for two on a typical dinner or even lunch has me usually noping out and

Hi badass NYC redditors. I need some help. I, a style-less nerd, have somehow produced a daughter who is very into fashion. She understands trends, she draws, she sews (learned how to use a sewing machine via a free class at our local library). We are going to be in the city in late May,

I lived here all my life and if I’m exiting a subway station I’ve never been at, I’m looking at signs to see what way is north. My sense of direction is hilariously bad. I know some stations have signs about nw, sw entrance but in lieu of that how do you get your bearings

Noticing this a lot and curious what the reasoning is. For example: • People almost always say Ridgewood, Queens • But just say Bushwick or Harlem without the borough submitted by /u/sundrenchedwindow [link] [comments]

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]
