two questions:

1. even tho i was accepted, am i allowed to turn it down if i don’t think it makes sense?

2. anyone who either is or isn’t a soho house member, is it worth the ~$2800 / yr fees?

Hullo New Yorkers!

We (me and my spouse) will be moving to NYC from Los Angeles in February 2025 for my job. In LA, we live in a relatively spacious two-bed two-bath apartment. So we have more stuff than I’d expect to be able to fit in a NYC apartment (we will have temporary housing for 15 days when we arrive, during which we’ll be looking for a place of our own.)

For anyone who has moved from another state to NYC, did you find keeping any of your older big furniture items worth it? Is anything worth going through the hassle of finding and hiring a moving company? Any advice would be welcome and highly appreciated :) Thanks!

P.S. If you’re still reading (thanks so much), my office will be in the Flatiron District. Any recommendations on where to look for housing are also highly appreciated :)

Feeling festive and wanting a nice hot toddy or just warm alcoholic drinks. In Manhattan, preferably not too far uptown (not UWS or UES).

I’m an acrobatic performer with a lower back injury from falling off a poorly installed aerial apparatus. I’ve done some homemade PT (shitty insurance) but finally saved up enough to consult a seasoned professional.

Most of the PT recommendations here seem runner-specific. Anyone know someone who specializes in performers/athletes/lower back pain/injury/flexibility?

It’s a tall order I know, but I’m in agony pretty much every time I move or train. TIA.

Please guys I need like a reasonable price good pedicure that is gonna make my feet soft and beautiful again pls anywhere in Manhattan or outside if they are really outstanding I’ll go please I need a pedicure

Any spots you know?

I'm borrowing a car to move some furniture but I have it overnight. I'm fucking done, it's been an hour looking for a space. I'm not even close to home. I'd pay for a garage but they're closed. I'd like to just abandon this thing, but I'd rather not get it towed. Any 'advice?'

Hello, I live on the upper east side and go to NYU. My printer is broken. Tomorrow morning I have a final exam. I NEED to print my equation sheet. Where can I go to print a document, FAST, in between yorkville and Greenwich village (I’ll ebike to school).

I absolutely need this formula sheet for my exam please help

Hi,

I'm looking to add to my saved restaurant location lists in google maps with restaurants that are sit down, walk in + little to no wait (meaning I don't need a reservation or to put my name on a list).

But also worthwhile places to stop into - not must go, but just worthwhile.

We aren't trying to plan a restrictive intinerary, I'm just trying to have a lot of options mapped so when we get hungry I can look at what is nearby and in this category.

Thanks :)

Hi, I’m currently on holiday from the UK. Female. I love American vintage and was excited to find interesting buys while over here, thinking I’d get some bargains due to availability. Spent a lot of today in Williamsburg, which I realise is pretty hipster, but was shocked by prices. $58-150+ for single stitch T-shirts etc. $200-300 for suede coats or letterman jackets. Back home I’ve found these for £15-30 T-shirts, £50-90 jackets etc. I’m here still until the weekend, is there anywhere else I should visit for pre-1990s vintage? Also interested in kitsch homewares that’ll fit in my suitcase. Planning to head to the Chelsea market but expecting high prices again.

EDIT: I’m a low-mid income vintage fanatic hence trying to be thrifty. First time in the US and a bit of a bucket list trip for me :)

Ty

this is def repetitive but i’m not sure what to do so looking for some advice. i’ve worked under my mom before. i’m chill with pretty much anything just need to fill my time before the spring semester starts

I’ve been to three chain drug stores to buy deodorant and the shelves were empty at each one. What’s going on?

My hunt continues for a good irish black pudding. I grew up eating the one from Karl Emmers in Ridgewood and I haven't found one that can compare yet. I'm mainly looking for my father who misses his Irish breakfast. So far, I have gotten it from the butcher block in Sunnyside, Prime Cut in Woodlawn, The Butchers Fancy in McClean, Tommy Moloneys (supermarket) and Stewart's Market in NJ. Haven't tried Myers of Keswick yet but they're next on my list. I'm willing to drive a few hours if somebody knows one that tastes close to Karl Emmers. He said the butcher block one was the closest so far, but still cannot compare.

I’m tackling homemade mole for the first time and I need loads of chiles - mulato, ancho, pasilla, and chipotle meco - along with some disks of Mexican chocolate and canela (Ceylon cinnamon sticks). Does anyone have any recommendations for where I can find all of this without resorting to Amazon? I’m in Turtle Bay but happy to go anywhere in Manhattan. Thanks!

Me and 3 friends really just want something to do Friday night. We aren’t super picky we just want to dance or enjoy a cool vibe. We are all 19 and willing to drop up to like 40-50 each. I’ve been searching online and can’t find anything worth a shit, wondering if Reddit can save me.

Looking to try some straps classes and it doesn't seem like many places offer them compared to sliks, lyra, and other aerial apparatuses. Which studios do you like and what keeps you going?

Hi all,

I am organizing a bar crawl in East Village and want to see if all these places can fit 25 of us haha. Also, if you had to pick, which of these places is the best chill vibes. And do any of these places have a cover during the day.

Thanks! :)

Going on a trip with some friends on January 13th-16th, we planned this in like August but now I feel like we underestimated how cold it is up there. Is this a bad idea? Any advice on how to manage the cold? Am I just overreacting because, in my mind, I'm picturing a snowstorm 24/7? Thanks!

If the economy tanks due to tarrifs and mass layoffs will rent prices decrease like they did during COVID?

Looking for a hotel recommendation within walking distance of The Morgan Library. Birthday weekend so something nice but preferably not more than $300/night (if possible). Thanks in advance!

I'm going to be in NYC this weekend, and I was wondering if there were any notable tributes or murals of ATCQ. I've seen a sweet mural online, but I don't know if it's still visible. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi! I'm trying to host an event, preferably in a semi-private place in the restaurant but all of these places have a $2000 minimum + tax + tip. Do you have any recommendations between Central Park to Empire State? Mostly looking for steakhouses. TIA!

Do I need to tip my super for the holidays if I live in a walk up? It’s not a doorman building or anything, moved in in March. He’s very nice we don’t interact with him much except for an occasional hi in the hallway.

I just moved to 180 Water St and the building has no soundproof and my neighbor is extremely loud when she talks. I can how shes walking and stomping her feet and every move, and what sheas talking about. I feel like im not alone in my room when I hear other person conversation and I feel exposed. I dont feel like ihave privacy at all every time shes at home. Im afraid she might hear me too and im tired of using noise machine for background or trying to wear headphone every time she opens her mouth. one time she talked for hours on the phone non-stop. She stays up late and talked on the phone right next to my wall so I could hear her talking and and prevents me from falling asleep. I noticed a lot of reviews for many building in FIDI complains about noise issue. do all buildings in FIDI nto have any sound proof like this? or do some buildings have less than others? I dont know if it's even worth move to another building at this point becuase every other building in FIDI seems to have the same problem. But 180 water is so loud. someone slams the door in hte hallway and I get startled easily. the walls are not insulated at all and the door is not designed to close quietly. is it worth moving because of the noise issue? im worried how im gonna cope with my loud neighbor until summer without affecting my peace. I was at so much peace when she was out of the apartment. if I were to move again, what building should I move into? I never had this issue when I lived in downtown Brooklyn apartment but I dint like neighborhood there.

Saying it’s gotten out of hand is a fucking understatement. Whole Foods delivery bikes, electric mopeds, gas mopeds, electric bikes, tandem family bikes, those irresponsible parents zooming on cargo bikes with their kids in front, grey citibikes, electric scooters; it’s too much.

Within ten minutes almost got ran over by a moped and then an ebike. They weren’t even stopping to deliver anything they were just zooming onto the sidewalk to get out of fucking traffic. Saw another person get tapped by a Whole Foods cargo bikes.

We have politicians who will protest to get taxi drivers bailed out and claim to care about us, but they don’t actually care about us. They don’t actually care about New Yorkers. They only care about themselves.

Looking for sit-down breakfast ideas in Manhattan. Thanks guys!

Edit: ideally not diners cause I already have lots of faves but other than that any neighborhood any price any vibe. I’m just a city girl who loves breakfast.

I don't know which would be the better ticket option. When I go on the Website, the general admission ticket asks me to choose a date and time, so it would be guaranteed I enter at that time, no? However, it says that only the express and VIP tickets allow you to skip the line for the elevators. If I paid for the general admission ticket with a selected time, is my ticket still not in the major priority over the express/VIP pass tickets? I assume that I would just have to show up early enough in order to avoid my ticket time expiring if there were a mainly express and VIP pass people passing my place in line and taking up the space in the elevator. However, how likely is that to happen? If it is likely, then I may consider the express pass instead.

Also, is the photo experience just one photo of you posing with something or someone for $30? Or is there more to the package than that?
