Hello, I (26m) have been living in NYC for about 2 years now. Today around 1:30pm I left my apartment and was heading to a store in the LES. Sunglasses on, headphones in, I made my trek down south. I continued walking, minding my own business, all the way down until I hit Houston St. […]

Fellow New Yorkers, help me resolve an argument When people walk onto the train platform, they all pick different spots to wait for the train. When picking your spot, what’s your reasoning?

I scraped comments from 50+ posts (mostly from this subreddit and few other NYC related ones) where people asked “where’s the best pizza in New York?” or argued about Joe’s vs. Prince Street vs. Di Fara. Then I ran all those comments through an LLM pipeline to see which spots people actually rave about, not

I went to a bodega this weekend to buy a sandwich. Interaction mostly went fine. When I went to pay I was told that my sandwich would be $10. I was offered a receipt and declined. My credit card notifies me on my app how much a transaction was for and that it was approved.

I used to live a few blocks from the original Les Halles, and it had this perfectly unpretentious energy, loud, chaotic, the kind of place where you could just walk in, order steak frites and a glass of wine, and feel like you were part of the city. I’ve been trying to think of what

Stumbled on a kiosk called Uptaco in midtown – it’s a little booth next to where the new Cote concept is going. It’s in a super nice garden where corporate folks in the area seem to hang out. The BEC burrito (nicknamed the Jacob) is without a doubt the best breakfast burrito in the city

In addition to all this I had pierogi at Streecha, coffee at Porto Rico, cappuccino at Caffe Reggio, chicken tikka masala at Panna II, and diner breakfast at Waverly Diner. Couldn’t make it to Queens or the Bronx, as much as there were places I was dying to go. Here is everything in the order
You’d think in a city with millions and even in surrounding suburbs. We’d be awash in the resale of used items. Think thrift stores, used electronics, used tools, second chance stores, charity stores, garage sales, estate sales, etc. Yet we aren’t and in other parts of the country they are very popular and plentiful.

Every time I grab a chicken over rice at 2am drizzled with creamy white sauce, someone’s like “bro that’s so bad for you.” But is it really worse than crushing a McDonald’s combo meal? You’re still getting rice, chicken, salad, pita. So is halal cart food actually a health disaster or is it just NYC’s
This might sound like a shitpost but I’m just genuinely curious! I’ve noticed something kind of funny/interesting since spending more time in Brooklyn.
