Recommendation for fresh challah loaves on the UWS? (prefer bakeries closer to west 90s)

Silver Moon Bakery is my go-to, but as it's likely closing in the near future, are there any recommendations?

NY Sports Club at West 80th Street Closing in March

While not the cleanest or fanciest gym in the area the closure of this location is a huge inconvenience.

Melt feathers spa

I enjoy deep tissue massages but I don't love paying $3 per min after tip and tax so I get them infrequently. The place I go to near me also tends to end sessions a few minutes early. I've read a lot of good reviews about melt feathers but wanted to see if the therapists there are actually licensed? Just wanted to temper my expectations. Thanks!

Deranged Woman Harming Young Women around 75th and Amsterdam

Just saw an older woman with red hair intentionally walk into younger women, shove them, then scream, corner them, and threaten to sue for assault. I checked on one of the women afterward, and she was visibly shaken. Not sure what's going on in our neighborhood lately, but stay safe.

The Flowery on Broadway

Is another cannabis spot really necessary? Times have truly changed on the upper west side. Lets see how long it lasts.

Dagon Restaurant

I'm confused. Maybe our Jewish friends can help. Dagon was the mutilated god that fell on his face before the ark of the Lord (1 Samuel 5:1-5). It was the god of the Philistines, Israel's archenemy. Dagon was a false god for Israel, which is why I don't understand why a restaurant would be named after it. Especially, in a neighborhood with many Jewish residents. Can anyone offer an explanation?

Anti-pigeon crusade

The old lady in my building feeds the pigeons - huge problem, mgmt have gotten involved and now she walks down the block to feed them. But they are EVERYWHERE because of her. Constant barrage of pigeon crap on our steps, AC unit, window sill. Our dog always tries to eat it. Truly nasty.

What can I (legally, preferably humanely) do to spook them away? We have the classic "anti-pigeon spikes" out on our window sills, but can't realistically cover every part of the building, so they just roost higher up. Creative ideas appreciated.

Frozen coffee anywhere?

Anywhere besides Dunkin' and Starbucks that is. I tried the frozen coffee at Dunkin' and it always tastes so weird.

Apartment Hunting ā€“ Newer Condos

Hi! 30F moving to NYC with husband + 2 toddlers in March / April, and looking for a place on the UWS. Ideally 2/3 bed on the newer side with amenities (e.g. childrenā€™s playroom).

Has anyone know of or had experiences at the Aldyn, One Riverside Park, or Waterline Square? Any other recommendations or things to look out for?

Thanks in advance!

Social Groups

I 25M am wondering where to go to meet people, ideally around my age? I know this is NYC and there is a bunch to do, but I do not know where to start looking. Are bars places to make friends? Should I start conversation with strangers when I walk in the park? I have pretty much always been "in my shell" and would like to put myself out there. Even in school I struggled to make friends.

What do you do for fun?

Iā€™ve been in a depressive funk for the last 26-ish years, so Iā€™m trying to get out and actually experience life more. The issue is I have no idea what people do for fun other than eating, drinking, or dancing. There has to be more to it than that. What else do you guys do for fun in UWS? Or the city in general?

I know this is a bit vague, but thatā€™s because Iā€™m open to pretty much anything.

Mod: What happened to the only subreddit report button here?

There are no rules on the subreddit, so you can't report any rule being broken. There used to be a custom response button so you could say "This isn't about the upper west side" or whatever. Now there's nothing. Mods?
