Serious question. Why do we all gaslight ourselves into thinking this is acceptable? I’m genuinely convinced Satan himself engineered the logistics from Manhattan to the airports (EWR/JFK). And before you say woah woah what about LGA? This is a rant specific to NYCs “International” airports. For a “world-class city,” the options are seemingly designed by

Would love to know if people ever stay at home all day doing nothing. Some weeks I’m out all day/night and barely home and then some days I just rot at home. Feel guilty about it because there is always so much to do here. Interested in everyone’s answers/experiences? submitted by /u/nycbiatch [link] [comments]

So I landed this amazing remote job in Toronto but I’m still based in NYC and need to drive up there like twice a month minimum. We’re talking 350 miles each way so 700+ per trip through upstate NY winters and border crossings. But I just bought a co-op here or I’d move lol. I’ve

Was it always a tourist trap or was there a time that it catered to locals? As a kid in the 90’s, I remember there being an arcade just off Times Square. Granted, it was still a pretty crowded sidewalk to get there. submitted by /u/amlextex [link] [comments]

As an outsider I always see posts about how most people in New York are living with 1-4 roommates at a time. I know this isn’t for everyone, but what percent of people do you know that actually live alone? Thanks submitted by /u/Anonymous61134 [link] [comments]

I was standing in the middle part of a crowded subway car and holding the pole. The car was swerving a lot, and I guess my upper back made contact with a guy’s arm as he passed me. I felt a strong push on my back after this, and at first I thought it was

This time, I wasn’t even the one waiting. I was on lunch, walking back to work. I saw an elderly couple with two young children (assuming grandkids) waiting at the stop. The bus driver looked in their direction and just kept driving. He had a red light just a few feet away, so he ended

Been living here for three years and I’m genuinely confused why we have literally every cuisine except Kiwi food. Like we got Ethiopian, Peruvian, even multiple Georgian spots but not a single New Zealand restaurant anywhere. I’m craving some kiwi butter chicken the way they do it in Auckland or some decent fish and chips

My Chinese father (60 years old) lives in walking distance of Chinatown and has been pretty lonely since my mom passed. He’s Wenzhounese but speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, and decent English. I try to visit him when I can and that helps, but I think he needs likeminded peers his own age and culture. It’s also

Throwaway for obvious reasons. I moved to NYC three years ago for work (finance). At first, the whole “decompress with a drink after a brutal day” thing felt normal. Everyone does it, right? Grab drinks after work, wine on the Metro-North home, beers while watching TV to unwind from the chaos. But somewhere along the

THIS IS BEING EDITED RIGHT NOW. ALL LINKS AND DATES ARE ACTIVELY BEING MODIFIED AND REVIEWED. THANKS FOR ALL THE SUGGESTIONS AND EDITS! THIS IS STILL BEING WORKED ON PROBABLY ROLLING INTO FRIDAY! Welcome to this year’s winter holiday megathread. This is the thread where we answer questions about what to do, where, see, and

Before one could say don’t patronize the business, but now it’s almost everywhere, so it’s hard to avoid. So many food establishments and really any service as well – florists, cobbler, etc. Larger grocery stores are still not doing it. I’ve filed complaints with 311 on a couple of businesses. Both ended up with notices

To any non-NYC local who may be seeing this thread: DO NOT accept rides from people who approach you at arrival offering uber/taxi service. Go to the airport taxi stand right ourside of the terminal or order a rideshare directly through the apps. You are going to get scammed otherwise. I flew home into LGA

I know this is probably not the place but I am almost 6 years sober and I am having a hard time to the point I think I need to go somewhere that isn’t home. I don’t have a therapist, and don’t want to get hospitalized, but wish there was a place like if you

For the longest time (like 2 years), the second light fixture in my kitchen has been hanging down because I tried changing it when I moved in and couldn’t get it back properly. Just got back from a month overseas and noticed it’s been put back in its shell perfectly. This is weird because the

I’ve been living in NYC for a long time and I’ve seen the same pair of twin women several times over the years, and I’m really curious if they’re some kind of local “urban legend” or if anyone knows who they are. Here’s what I remember: – I first saw them around 2016–2017, and then

A monk came up to me and grabbed me wrist and put a bracelet on without saying anything so I assumed he was giving it to me. Then he asked me for donations and I said no so he asked for the bracelet back but I kind of liked it so I ignored him and

Specifically at restaurants and bars. Prices are higher than ever, service jobs are hard to come by, and yet I keep having these trash experiences… most recently a bartender spilled some of my beer, said not to worry, it was only head, and didnt top me off or anything 😵‍💫 Wtf is going on? I’m

This question is not what it sounds like. I am a dude in a long term relationship (straight). All my friends are also in long term relationships or married, and they never want to do anything. I feel like I need more single friends cause they actually want to do stuff. Anyone have suggestions for

I always use the same phone and same card, and I have way more than 12 scans in a week. Yet, my card is charged every single time. My most recent statement had 28 scans in one week, charged for every single one. Am I doing something wrong? submitted by /u/Hall_Educational [link] [comments]

This is truly sad but not surprising. submitted by /u/Familiar-Range9014 [link] [comments]
