Hung out with some people. There was a girl who was from out of state studying at NYU (paying out of pocket may I add). We went to go somewhere else and she proudly proclaimed that she refuses to pay for the subway because “no real New Yorkers pay for the subway”. She then mentioned […]

God damn. Canada Goose. Montcler. It’s 60 degrees (yesterday) and every fucking train and shop is blasting heat. I’m sweating through my shit. submitted by /u/Career-Acceptable [link] [comments]

Hi- I’m curious about nyc residents pinch points in their communities and everyday lives, especially around where community and policy (institutional or legislative) conflict. Some examples that come to mind are the church that started charging rent to a longstanding food pantry, displacing them; the constant struggle with police parking on pedestrian sidewalks; the (Brooklyn?)

Saw a similar thread and curious for any authentic recommendation in the city. submitted by /u/namriach [link] [comments]

I know 3 other people that got this. You lose your voice completely for like more than a week and you get this REALLY bad cough that switches constantly between dry and wet. You also just feel generally unwell. I don’t think it’s just the common cold. Anyone else get it or know someone who

For example, people on their phones moving slowly up the stairs (not speaking to someone’s ability to walk fast but specifically them being slow because they’re texting), people on the subway listening to music or tiktoks or doing a FaceTime without headphones, people hogging the entire sidewalk and stuff. The other day a woman walked

I’ve lived in the same apartment for 3.5 years and this August the restaurant we live above extended their hours til 4am on the weekend. At first it seemed they were going for a lounge vibe but now it has turned into a full blown club with dancehall nights, bottle girls, etc. The music is

I’ve lived here more than half my life and I literally just saw a man in broad fucking daylight smoking crack in Essex St station on the platform. I told some homeless outreach workers about it and all they said was they called the cops and they hopped on the next train that came. WTF

I work in Union Square on the top floor of a high-rise office building. My company’s floor is split between two buildings (e.g. 234 and 238). This morning I took the elevator up in the 234 lobby. When I was leaving a little while ago, however, I decided to take the elevator in building 238,

was leaving my office in flatiron yesterday when i saw a homeless guy that i’ve seen a dozen times stumble down the street with a bloodied knife. it didn’t really click for me in the moment, i kind of locked up, and just waited for him to pass. i can’t sleep, i can’t get the

Anybody else think that the subway really saps any of the excitement out of a good date? I’ve started to make excuses to not ride the subway home at the same time as my dates when we realize we’re headed back in the same direction, since I’d rather take the next train and decompress or

Let me start off by saying that I love all these East Side neighborhoods. But.. It seems to me that the neighborhoods on the West Side tend to be much nicer than those in the East Side. A few examples are: West Village vs East Village. Chelsea vs. Kips Bay. Tribeca vs LES. Even midtown,

Doesn’t matter if you’re a tourist or a local, or what airport it is (we’ll allow Newark), once you walk out of the gate and into the airport, there’s a certain energy that very few cities in the world have. You’ll see airport personnel with a coffee cup, or another employee laughing and giving someone

I’m starting to get really annoyed with stores not marking prices. I ask the price and the clerks seem annoyed that I even bother, like I’m petty or miserly. We’ll today, I didn’t ask. I didn’t to be judged. But when I got the bill, all I could think is: “$13.50 for a plain grilled

Hi everyone, I’m (23F) French and on vacation by myself in NYC and I feel so fucking alone. I can’t meet people, I feel overwhelmed and don’t know what to do. And when I see plenty of people in the street being all in groups laughing, or lovers taking a walk peacefully, I feel this

Hi, this is my last year in NYC before going back to Europe. I am increasingly turned off by how consumerism is prevalent in the city and would like to focus on things that make my brain happy. Here is what I do already : – I created a museum schedule to go visit a

Hi all, I’ve lived in Brooklyn for the past 7 years, and last night while me and a friend were walking to the train station, we got mugged. Two kids jumped out from behind a parked car, pointed a gun at us, and told us to give them everything. While one of them was pointing

I was on the 6 train Sunday afternoon after watching the marathon and was attacked by a misogynist enraged white boy who tackled me trying to get onto a crowded train on 77th st. After telling him he hit me and to watch out — he told me to stfu and then the group he
