Trigger warning- death, alcoholism, etc. Looking for any advice. My dad was FDNY, wasn’t at the towers when they actually fell, but responded immediately after and worked at ground zero for the following year. He developed PTSD and became an alcoholic, retired early, and passed away three years ago from complications of alcoholism. He refused…

“[Visiting us] is an opportunity to feel at home, to feel safe. It’s a safe space for everyone. It’s very important to say that, and to support people that are trying to do the best that they can with what they have,” Bonnin says. The supper club is open just two days a week, on…

I don’t mean the obvious ones, like cooking rather than going out to eat/living with roommates/renting in Brooklyn, Queens, Jersey City rather than Manhattan etc. Looking instead for the weird random ways you save while living here! Examples I’m thinking of are stuff like using fans instead of the in-unit AC or space heaters instead…

Enter Gigi’s [shortcode TK], a sister wine bar just a few steps up the block on Franklin Avenue. Unlike Fulgurances, where the tasting menus rotate every few months along with the resident chef, Gigi’s sticks to superb rotisserie chickens and inventive seasonal small plates, all accompanied by an expansive, Old World-leaning wine list. At the…

I was watching Spectrum News’ interview with Zohran Mamdani this morning and was caught off guard when he said that his planned rent freeze for rent stabilized apartments would be for four years and not for the single year that I assumed it would be. Maybe this is already common knowledge, but it was news…

Every time I grab a chicken over rice at 2am drizzled with creamy white sauce, someone’s like “bro that’s so bad for you.” But is it really worse than crushing a McDonald’s combo meal? You’re still getting rice, chicken, salad, pita. So is halal cart food actually a health disaster or is it just NYC’s…

I plan on staying in the NYC metropolitan area for the rest of my life. I’m looking for a LTR. A lot of guys I meet, however, are transplants who may or may not eventually move back home. I think my mentality is that, unless the guy is sure he wants to move, we don’t…

So I’ve got a big stack of white v-neck t-shirts that I use as undershirts and they all have recently taken on the same weird moldy smell. I have tried everything: limiting detergent use, borax, vinegar, baking soda, soaking in that and hand washing, converting to Christianity Before I spend a bunch of money tossing…

You’d think in a city with millions and even in surrounding suburbs. We’d be awash in the resale of used items. Think thrift stores, used electronics, used tools, second chance stores, charity stores, garage sales, estate sales, etc. Yet we aren’t and in other parts of the country they are very popular and plentiful. Yes…

I’m wondering how other people here avoid potentially dangerous situations with unhinged people in public. I know the drill – mind your damn business, don’t make eye contact and all that. Tonight my friend and I were on 53rd street, and he accidentally bumped into a deranged man in a busy coffee shop. He apologized…

This might sound like a shitpost but I’m just genuinely curious! I’ve noticed something kind of funny/interesting since spending more time in Brooklyn. Especially in neighborhoods like Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Bushwick, etc. It feels like a lot of the men fall into this very particular style/vibe or archetype (not sure if this the right word). Think…

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…

Before anyone jumps in with “nobody actually thinks that,” I can tell you from my own experience that plenty of people in NJ really do talk about NYC like it’s some kind of dangerous warzone. Every time the idea of going into the city comes up, I hear the same kind of comments like it’s…

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…

Just got picked up at JFK terminal 1 and I’m appalled at the number of cars that are allowed to to just idle unattended in front of arrival pick up.. which is not only illegal but creates major congestion / headache for those traveling. On top of that, it seems like most of the cars…
