Clarifying things on Joes

Probably not a “true” review but here we go… Been seeing a lot of hate/ “disrespect” towards Joes pizza on here and the NYCpizza sub (odd place). Joes is not only a NYC institution (with a pop culture background) but also people seem to have a somewhat swayed expectation towards it. It’s never tried to […]

Why do (some/many) New Yorkers take a beautiful 1800s Brownstone, gut it, and turn it into a white box inside?

Why do (some/many) New Yorkers take a beautiful 1800s Brownstone, gut it, and turn it into a white box inside? I’m home hunting .. and I am seeing so many great brownstones that are just gutted, boring, white boxes inside … all the original moldings, carvings, stained glass, Victorian features, fireplace mantles, etc. are gone.

Naked Neighbors

I recently bought a co-op and have been enjoying it for the last year or so. Recently, I have new neighbors that like to be naked all the time. It didn’t bother me at first because I just mind my business and go about my day. BUT I have noticed that they’re acting a little

Soft serve in NYC

Ok finally getting around to the state of soft serve in NYC/rounding up my favorites. Ice cream, sorbet, whatever else – I’ll eat it. Froyo is its own thing though so none of that here. These are my favorite places and flavors to get at each – note that at many of the smaller spots,

Does Anyone Understand How Legionnaires Disease Is Infecting People In Harlem?

The messaging from officials around how people in Harlem are being infected with Legionnaires has been embarrassingly bad. All they’re saying is if you feel flu like symptoms go to the hospital. Nothing specific about how people are being infected, or how to prevent infections from occurring. The most I’ve been able to gather is

Spend the extra $0.50 for the sour veg at Shu Jiao Fu Zhou, worth every penny

https://www.yelp.com/biz/shu-jiao-fu-zhou-new-york-2 Can’t remember who from this sub first advised me to do this, but I’m glad they did because I can’t get the peanut noodles any other way now. Add in some of that chili sauce and you’ve got a winning combo. submitted by /u/eldersveld [link] [comments]

What does a guy in his 30’s got to do by himself on a Saturday night?

31M. Was kinda hesitant to post this, but honestly—fkkk it. What do I have to lose? If I’m feeling this way, chances are someone else is too. Lately I’ve been feeling pretty isolated. Most weekends blur into doomscrolling, half-watching stuff, and just hanging around my apartment. Not terrible, just kind of…numb. I miss feeling connected.

Why are New Yorkers much more accepting and welcoming of immigrants from other continents (Europe, Asia, etc) than of transplants/expats?

I noticed a pattern on social media where New Yorkers, especially the natives, seem to speak of transplants in a rather negative light, saying stuff like “They’ll never be real New Yorkers” and mean stuff like that. Still, the same people seem to be much kinder and welcoming towards immigrants from other countries and have

Would you do a few hours of volunteer work for a guaranteed reservation at Semma or Don Angie?

Hello! I’m hoping to get some feedback on an idea that popped into my head at 2 am. The restaurant reservation system is broken. You either stay up until midnight refreshing Resy, or you pay for access (Dorsia, AmEx Global Dining, AppointmentTrader, etc.). I started wondering what if all the effort we put into chasing

Where my morning people at?

Contrary to popular belief, this city is often asleep, and its usually at the crack of dawn. What are some things my fellow morning people do at like 6/7am? 24hr Diners, parks, long walks, bike ride, this is all I can think of right now. Any hot tips? submitted by /u/Pure-Station-1195 [link] [comments]
