How bad was NYC during the 1980s? I am Gen Z and the NYC I grew up in going to as an individual from New Jersey has to be very different from the NYC of the past. I often wonder how far the city has progressed from the 70s and 80s to today. submitted by…

Growing up, I’ve always heard people call it Greenwich Village or simply the Village. Nowadays, both of these names eem to have heavily fallen out of favor, with most people exclusively using “the West Village”. It appears that community activists coined the term in the 1960s to refer to the Western section of of Greenwich…

I’m curious because if someone asked me to be on that show, I’m not sure if I have an interesting and unique opinion about something that I would publicly stand behind. submitted by /u/rr90013 [link] [comments]

I know this is kind of a stupid question but I’m really desperate. I (32) was laid off from a software engineering job I hated about two years ago, and right around that time my spouse and father were both hospitalized with terminal illnesses and my entire family was sued for an unfathomable sum of…

Are there any areas in Manhattan that have somehow avoided all the development and gentrification places that still look and feel like they did back in the ’70s or ’80s? I love those rare corners of the city that still have that old New York atmosphere, and I’m wondering if any are still around or…

I’m a pretty bad offender on this: I eat out every lunch & dinner because it saves me time. I end up spending around $25-30/day. Does anyone else do this? submitted by /u/ROBOT-MAN [link] [comments]

I have lived in NYC for three years and never got to know my neighbors. They never knocked on my door, and I never knocked on theirs. The only time I saw them was when we waited for the elevator. It’s not like I didn’t want to know them, but it always felt intrusive to…

Moved abroad for a few years but came back to a tacky TikTok hellscape filled with 22 year olds. Where did all of the mid-30s to early 40s former residents go [in Manhattan]? submitted by /u/Odd-Move-3620 [link] [comments]

I’m not from brooklyn, something i’ve observed is that many people jump the bar, or go under it to avoid paying the fare for the subway. The MTA clerk doesn’t seem to care, is this just allowed? Am i a fool for being the only one paying the fee for the train while everyone just…

In its generous, eight-work presentation of late-career canvases and tarpaulins by Keith Haring, the exhibition Liberating the Soul: Keith Haring’s Paintings at Gladstone Gallery reignites the force of an artist who channelled joy, activism, and scale into what were once subway scribbles and under-the-radar public works. The post Liberating the Soul: Keith Haring’s Canvas Carnival…

Hi guys, So I am from Ireland but somehow over last few weeks I became obsessed with NYC mayoral race and I would love to hear some stories about people who might have met Śliwa in real life 🙂 I am glad Mamdani won, but Curtis seems absolutely fascinating submitted by /u/dumplingslover23 [link] [comments]

Motherhood smothered the spontaneity of dining out far from where I live. It takes me months to try the hottest restaurants in Manhattan. Sometimes, when I happen to be in the city and decide to walk-in, the wait is too long for my hectic schedule, or the restaurant is closed for a private event. So,…

Was cheering on the marathon runners this sunday and i spotted a cute guy across from me. I regret not going up to him but was shy. Idk, if I did how should I do it? submitted by /u/manatee-princess [link] [comments]

I just had a delivery up there to 116th to find out I had to walk down two blocks and then back up to get to Amsterdam. How are they allowed to just close off a public street from pedestrians? Does Baruch college close off their plaza exclusive to students? No. It’s absurd that Columbia…

The context: I’m a beauty influencer and I am looking at all the STUFF I get mailed to me daily and reevaluating what to do with it all. Makeup, skincare, perfume, etc… With the holiday season approaching I was hoping for some leads on where I might be able to donate it to. I contacted…

I need yall to help me! This is my first week at my new job and today my boss gave me 490 dollars for the 70 hours I worked this week (10 hours a day with no dayoffs!!) He said he pays starting workers 7 hours an hour and that it goes up with time.…
