Hi! I am a Research Assistant at Columbia University. We are currently recruiting NYC teenagers aged 14-17 to participate in a research study about social media, brain processing, suicidality, and mental health!

The study uses brain imaging and cortisol to understand risk and protective factors for mental health among adolescents on social media. We are currently recruiting adolescents ages 14-17 who struggle with their mental health. To participate in our study, we would ask your child to: (a) complete a mental health interview (over Zoom), (b) complete a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan, (c), provide a hair sample, and (c) collect data from their social media and upload it to a secure tool where a computer program will analyze their data. There also would be brief follow-up assessments that would be completed by Zoom at 2-, 4-, and 6- months after the initial interview. For participating in the study, your child may receive up to $350.

Interested parents or teens can fill out the following interest form: https://redcap-std.hs.pitt.edu/redcap/surveys/?s=7AHW9F9N84MXFNRY or contact us at impactsstudy@cumc.columbia.edu.

Posting here because it has more eyes than the Washington Heights subreddit, but I just got word from someone who's husband is a Fed and works with La Migra that folks in Washington Heights should stay safe and inside today. I don't have more information than that. I am sorry :(

Yerr I go by Sydney I make videos online talking about hip-hop news, but I want to branch out to something more special to have a platform that underground artist can flourish in the NYC because I feel like that scene is missing honestly I don’t have a desire to make money off of this currently I want my mission to help underground artist. I want to interview artist of the NYC. My whole idea is as we do the interview as we do a tour of what inspired you your local area. I want to end it off with a freestyle doesn’t have to be written, just an unreleased or unheard verse. it’s all about promoting and uplifting the artist I’m not into or interested in negativity. I am poor, but I can provide some food and weed and jokes

I'm looking for co-working spaces in Harlem near Marcus Garvey park.

Unfortunately coffee shops don't really work for me, as I need to be able to take work calls, including client and video calls, over the course of the day.

If anyone has experience using co-working spaces in Central Harlem and can recommend some I'd really appreciate it.

Hey there neighbors!! I moved to West Harlem from Austin at the end of Summer. When I got here I worked for individuals doing home management and other domestic project management gigs. (this is what I did full time in Austin for several years, but after getting here it more or less occurred to me that I would NEVER meet friends or cultivate community doing what I've always done.)

I got hired as a creative partner to help open up an ASMR sensory spa in Chelsea...and that's what I've been throwing my energy into for the past few months. Now that we're about to have our grand opening in February...and I know which 3 days a week I will be occupied with THAT venture, I have my feelers out for a part time job that nurtures a different part of myself. (ya know. Where I'll have coworkers to work alongside, something with purpose, something that's related to things that resonates with me, i.e. art, music, theater...) I registered to be a substitute teacher through an app called Swing and paid to do my background check, etc., but have since learned that many of the schools in my neighborhood don't use that app. So. Anyone reading this who might be able to give me a good lead on that--I'd love that info as well.

If anyone has some inside scoop on a part time venture that might line up with what I'm looking for, PLEASE let me know. I've been told in a few interviews that I'm "overqualified" but damn, don't you guys also want someone who would catch on super hella easy, is dependable/punctual, trustworthy, and needs little to no supervision? Just saying!

My days of availability are: Mon, Tues, Wed, and Saturday. I have tons of service industry experience, including restaurants and spas.I was a tour guide for several years in Austin, so with that being said I have experience speaking to people and retaining factoids about all kinds of things. (It is this nerdy tendency that provoked me to blow up my life and come to New York. I got sick of squashing gallery visits, theater shows, and other things into exhausting 5 day trips. I wanted to be here to actually GO to the museum and immerse in one segment at a time. Ya know? ) I have managed, but it's not something I'm seeking. I have a BS in Communications and a MAOM in Chinese Medicine. For 15 years I practiced acupuncture in different settings and post Covid I commodified the fact that I was an older, educated, responsible adult that had "been there and done that" and marketed myself as a "grown ass adult that can do PA things and then some--." I made a pretty nice hourly wage doing that. And. I'm still down to do that kind of work here and there (I mean, right now I have bills to pay, so yes. Need some meal prep, help with adulting: HMU via msg lol). BUTTTTT. I'm really seeking to be somewhere out and about that needs good help.

I love reading what the Reddit community has to say about posts like these--so I figured I've give it a whirl and see if anything fruitful comes out of it! Thanks neighbors!

Hi all, Im moved to USA last year because my job. Now Im living in Harlem and working in Brooklyn. My family will come here in March. I have a wife and daughter. My daughter will go to middle school.

Im looking for some place with good school but I heard that the school where she have to go it will depend on where we live. So Im not sure if here in Harlem the schools are good enough or if its better to look in another neighbourhood.

Appreciate your comments

Hey guys, just curious. I see a lot of posts about folks moving from Brooklyn to Harlem. Any ideas why? Isn’t Brooklyn the spot?

Im considering moving there; and my main concern is safety🥺. How safe is it over there ?

Hi!! I’m moving in a few months from Brooklyn and I unfortunately have a car, lol. I’m curious… any particular street/area better than others?

Any recommendations for boxing classes? I want to train as a form of exercise but I don’t want a gentrified experience… All due respect.

I love playing volleyball (recreational intermediate for adults) and have been trying to find a place that isn't downtown, but I can't seem to find any info about any leagues/open play in Harlem - is there just no volleyball around here?

Anywhere in Harlem looking for coat donations?

Hi all,

I'm looking to move back to NYC after more than 20 years away. I grew up here (Hamilton Heights, Washington Heights, UES, LES, UWS, Prospect Heights in Brooklyn) and was never afraid of dogs. NYC dogs were famously chill, as I recall. They would just walk around and ignore you, just doing their thing. And you hardly ever saw them off-leash.

But now (for various reasons) I've developed a fear of pitbulls, which I never really saw growing up in the city. Not until the 90s at least and even then hardly ever. So now I'm an old lady and want to return to the city of my youth. I don't have a huge budget. So I ask you all: How often do you see pitbulls in your neighborhood (please specify the neighborhood). Every day? Once a week? Am I just being a scaredy cat weirdo or is this the pit population in NYC now a real thing to consider?

Any trivia nights in bars close to Washington heights?? :)

Drop below!

hi everyone! so I’m (24F) kind of embarrassed to ask this question, but here we go.

I’m a non-Muslim who has been considering reverting for a long time. I have a lot of Muslim friends/loved ones but they either live far away and aren’t super practicing.

I know Harlem is home to a super diverse & active Muslim community (mashallah!) but I’m also nervous about going to the mosque for the first time. AKA, they don’t have a regular masjid.

I’m white, and while I know a lot on paper about Islam, I’ve never made du’aa publicly or attended jummah. Lately I’ve been struggling with some personal issues, and would love to pray at a masjid—not even at the prayer times, just seeking guidance from Allah stw on my own.

I don’t want to a) intrude on anyone’s community space (a place where people feel comfortable to be themselves, lowkey away from white people) or accidentally walk in somewhere that is less fond of reverts/generally clueless individuals.

Do you have any recommendations on uptown/Harlem mosques that are super welcoming? A place where I could just chill and approach the religion in my own time? Spaces that are more English-friendly are appreciated, as I do speak French but not Arabic.

Also, while I’m totally willing to dress modestly and cover my hair in a sacred space, it should be noted that I don’t have any plans rn to become hijabi or become a ‘perfect’ convert. I know there’s gradations of strictness/conservatism in every religion, so if you know of a masjid that lands more flexible / tolerant that would be amazing.

I know that sometimes this isn’t possible, so I am flexible as well. It doesn’t have to be the permanent ‘perfect’ fit, just a space where I can work on my relationship with Allah stw personally.

Thank you all and bismillah 💗💗

Hello Harlem subredditors. Two of my friends were assaulted at At the Wallace in the early morning of Saturday January 18th at approximately 1:30am. They have no recollection of what prompted the attack, and although nothing was stolen, one of them has a severely sprained ankle and will be out of work for some time. The police were called to the scene twice and were unhelpful despite the assailants returning to the bar.

We’re looking for any info anyone has on the events leading up to the assault, the assault itself, and the aftermath. DM me if you have any info.

It sounded like Thors hammer, woke me up from my sleep. No idea what it was but I do know it wasn’t a normal bang. Was it aliens 👽?

What stores do you go to that sell extravagant clothes that you see the rappers (Dipset/Mase)wear?

Not Harlem but probably the closest house music event (especially via M60) that night (that I know of):

https://partiful.com/e/Z3YB8BUJeMjSxpKRlJwS

Disclaimer: I've got absolutely no connection with this event except that I now live in Astoria. So this is not a promo post! I used to live in Harlem and found it a pain to go to BK for good House music/vibes. Even helped produce a few House events with a DJ friend at Harlem Nights, but it was too "off the beaten path" as much as I love the spot. So just wanted to share this here because I would have loved something like this back when I lived in Harlem.

If you've decided to lower your dose of suboxone or perhaps stop completely, there's a research study at Bellevue Hospital in New York City offering meds and support from doctors. You need to be on suboxone for at least a year and not be using illicit drugs. Study doctors will help you make a medication plan and manage your progress, and the team offers close monitoring and support to keep you on track and prevent relapse. The team is flexible with scheduling and you will be compensated for your time. The office # is (646) 501-4138 and email is bellevue.rddstudy@nyulangone.org. Reach out to see if it’s a good fit!

Hi there! Does anyone have a recommendation for a professional service/company that could bring a heavy piece of exercise equipment down a flight of stairs? (I'm a little hesitant to go through Thumbtack or TaskRabbit, but maybe I shouldn't be so concerned?) Thank you!
