It’s not as cold as the Midwest, it doesn’t snow like Buffalo, and it doesn’t rain for 8 months out of the year like in Northwestern Europe. New York might have one of the best winters among the world’s major cities. Maybe Madrid has a better winter: cold at night, a little bit more warmer […]

bf and I are very much in a funk and both down on nyc right now – i want to plan something strange and exciting for us to do (the type of thing that you can really only do in New York, or that feels more magical and romantic in the city). any ideas for

Was it hearing a loud boom when the first plane hit? Or looking towards Lower Manhattan and seeing a big plume of smoke? Or hearing a bunch of police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances screaming by headed for Lower Manhattan? Or being sent home from work or school early for (what might have felt like

I’ve noticed my neighbor directly across the street standing directly at the open window masturbating. He stands at the window, fully jacking off. I haven’t been able to see his face but he’s fully exposed and clearly doing it to look out / show himself. I live in prospect heights so it’s residential but a

I got on the train after work and the train stayed in the station for like 2 min and the doors were open. Two cops in plainclothes hang in the door and start talking to this girl next to me trying to convince her to come out and “talk to them.” They claimed she was

Lived in NYC for my entire life so I’m genuinely curious if life is slower elsewhere? Is it because commutes are shorter so there may be “more time” in the day? submitted by /u/IcedCoffeeYearRound [link] [comments]

I recently saw a post about someone getting scammed a significant amount of money around NYU through Zelle (I hope that person has been able to resolve it) and I’m actually so glad I read it because some kids tried to do a similar thing to me, but this time in Penn Station. I know

What are the contenders for the worst one-block stretch in Manhattan? By this I mean, “x street between y and z avenue” for instance (so a street between two avenues or avenue between two streets). 124th between Lex and 3rd has to be a contender. Literally always smells like shit, someone doing drugs, same sketchy

Yesterday morning, I saw a RAT in my apartment. I was in the bathroom and I saw it in the hallway. I immediately shut the door and texted the super while I waited outside the apartment. I thought it might be possible that the rat exited underneath the front door, since I saw it close

As the title says, I’m currently interviewing for a role that’s going to change my life positively (going from $76k to potentially $120-$135k) and I have a good feeling I’ll be offered the role. That said, I currently live in Brooklyn and the role would require I travel to north Jersey often, which would give

What should I have done? I was on the train last night and saw a man with five children. The kids appeared to be between 18 months and 8 years of age. They were reckless, loud, and violent with each other, which i understood once i saw how their father was interacting with them. He

I live in the bronx and work in brooklyn. In both places I constantly see cops just standing around in low crime areas doing nothing often for entire shifts. Just on my street there are two delis and an organic smoothie shop and they all have 2-4 cops in front of them just yucking it

Just compared to these other global cities. I don´t wanna know about Springfield. submitted by /u/Weekly_Sort147 [link] [comments]

I’m so mad at myself, I fell for the dumbest scam ever. Before you read this, just know that I was really, really dumb. 3 young men approached me in Washington Mews (that cute little european looking street by Washington Square Park) asking for a donation for their youth basketball club. I opened up my

Just made an appointment for 9/11 and thought I’d share. I’m over 65, so I’m eligible just by virtue of age, but I was still told I needed doctor’s prescription. It’s not a problem, I’ll get it called in, but that’s a first. I’ve taken only Pfizer since the onset of Covid, and I know

I’m going to be homeless this Friday and I honestly don’t know what else to do. I’ve been job searching for over a year and nothing has come through. I’m not looking for advice on “fixing my resume”, I’ve already redone it countless times, tailored it, gotten referrals, and still run into ghost jobs, internal

I found a diamond earring on a subway seat today. The back clasp is missing. I think it may have belonged to the person who got up right before I sat down. If you think it’s yours, please reply with a description of the earring, the subway line, and the time you were riding. If

After rent, food, MTA hikes feel hard to survive and being debt-free submitted by /u/Fit-Commercial-5430 [link] [comments]

This is for those of us who lived elsewhere in the US before relocating to NYC (or otherwise have nostalgic ties to another state). For a city that has everything, it kind of misses out on stuff other parts of the US that are typically only found regionally or in that state only (for logistical

Examples: My ex who was initially wary of the city falling in love with it but thinking Two Boots was some obscure, little-known NYC indie pizza joint. A tourist spotting their first 7 Souls Deep art and thinking they came across some oft-overlooked poetry. Visitors thinking Union Square (while fantastic!) is officially THE hippest spot
