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…

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 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…

The “Dutch Golden Age” is a period with which many art-educated individuals are familiar. The period, designated as beginning in the early 1620s and ending in 1672, is hallmarked by artists like Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijnand and Johannes Vermeer. The post Johannes Vermeer as Provocateur: Rediscovering Activism in the Dutch Golden Age, Book Review appeared…

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]

Hungry Thirsty is its own entity, but it embraces Ugly Baby’s uncompromising ethos. Absolutely everything is made from scratch and served more or less the way it would be in its home region. “Our purpose is really to serve home-cooked Thai street food. We make all of our own curry pastes,” Ruangphung says. “This is…

Hey all! I’ve been applying to jobs but haven’t had any luck. I’ve been applying to clerical positions since thats where I have the most experience, but I’m struggling to get interviews and I’m not hearing back. Any advice? submitted by /u/Sweet-Macaron999 [link] [comments]

I lived in Brooklyn (mostly Park Slope) from 2002 to 2010. I haven’t had a chance to get back since 2020. Is it still just the best? Can you still come around a random corner and encounter a crazy art installation? Can you still have random friendly interactions with folks? Do random wonderful things just…

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…

Just curious how common it is to run into friends or coworkers in the city. I know it probably depends on where you live, where you hang out, and how big your social circle is, but would love to hear people’s experiences. submitted by /u/Specific-Yak-6450 [link] [comments]

Walking around the city, I’m always struck by how many businesses from restaurants and cafes to boutiques and gyms are operating in locations where rent must be sky high. How do they actually make the math work? Is it mostly about volume, certain high margin products (like alcohol for restaurants), or do landlords cut deals…

The area is so small that it is surprising that there are three systems. NYPL (Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island), Brooklyn, and Queens. I am happy to have the options, as Queens has video games and access to Hoopla/Kanopy, while the NYPL has a fantastic Interlibrary Loan program, along with a tremendous amount of resources.…

I’ve had to go into the city a few times for work, and twice now I’ve gotten off the train (Hudson line) and ended up in these weird back hallways. I had to ask people passing by how to get to the main terminal and both times I asked a surprising number of people before…

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…
