Looking to work @ Splashlight on Varick in production/digital tech/lighting but i've heard from industry people that it's a hot mess right now. Like people are being fired left and right and freelancers don't get paid. does anyone have any insider info? I don't want to work somewhere that's going up in flames. feel free to DM if you want to be kept anonymous.

hi!! i’m wondering where i can get ‘calico’ type hair on my semi long and already dyed hair for a reasonable price.

Click this link to see the machine I am referring to. I am not looking for an alternative machine that can target the Lats, I want to use the Lat pullover machine as seen in the video or any other similar Lat Pullover Machine.

I am planning a trip that will involve a commute into union square from NJ. Can you recommend a trip planner or other way to plan the trip? TIA

Appreciate it's a big ask from a stranger but looking to see if someone part of the American Bar Association or American Medical Association or American Dental Association Members can help me with a discount that's offered to them?

Would really appreciate it if someone is able to, thanks in advance!

Hi! My best friend and I are planning a trip to NYC toward the end of this month, and we’ve decided to get a tattoo together. We have a design in mind (a simple drawing of two clowns), and I was wondering if there’s a tattoo artist or shop where we could just walk in with our design in mind (I understand that many tattoo artists don’t like this). I’d appreciate any leads! Would be even better if there are some student-budget places to go!!

Long shot but if you lost a black pit bull there’s a girl who found it on the west side Highway right above battery park

My wife and I (28F and 28M) currently live in a housing lottery studio in Williamsburg. Our rent is pretty good for the area, but we are realizing we really need more space.

Looking at 1BR’s in BK with solid commute times to her job off the L train looks kind of bleak within our budget ($3k max). We’ve never lived in Manhattan, and have now been considering the UES or UWS. She’s from NYC (I’m from North Jersey), and we feel like maybe moving to the city is something we should do at least once.

Any thoughts on this? We spent a day on the UES last week and liked it. Yorkville seems quiet enough with just as many if not more amenities / conveniences nearby.

URGENTTTTT. will someone PLEASEEEE buy my my tickets off of my for this wednesday's 8pm show of Romeo + Juliet. My friend can't go so we're rescheduling and i really don't want to just lose this money i spent.

I bought the tickets all together for $445 but would be willing to go down to $350 or $300, i'm desperate babes...

Hi! My girlfriend loves ferrets and has never met one before, and I want to figure out some kind of ferret hang out/meet and greet as a gift for Christmas. I know this sounds so strange, but I'm imagining something like a cat cafe but for ferrets, if that exists. Happy to make a donation if there's a shelter that would be willing to have us.

Ideally it would be somewhere in NYC (I know ferrets aren't allowed in the city. but my lips are sealed), willing to travel up to two hours. Again, I know this sounds really weird and creepy but we are normal people, she just would love to meet a ferret.

It's an odd question, but I'd like to know. I'm running a TTRPG (kinda like D&D but not D&D) set in New York City and I want an eventful moment to have it take place during.

Only problem is that I don't live in NYC! While I'm doing my research for most things finding an eventful 7-day timespan in the last 6 months is really difficult.

Given the tone of the game, a week that was comically awful is best. Thanks!

P.S. comically bad thing that have happened to you or somebody you know would also be welcome, as I'm putting together a random event table.

Does anyone have suggestions on the best way to live in the city if I'm only staying there Friday/Saturday night every weekend?

I'm thinking about taking a job 2 hrs from the city that is pretty rural and then going into the city on the weekends for a social/dating life. It seems a bit crazy to rent an expensive apartment if I'm not going to live there during the week and I have to imagine getting a hotel every weekend would be similarly expensive. Just curious of there are any other ways of making this happen.

Thanks!

I just booked a last minute solo weekend trip to NYC for this upcoming weekend! I have a ticket to the Friday night showing of wicked on broadway and I wanted to take myself out for dinner before but everywhere in the area that I’m checking is booked up. How easy is it to get a spot at the bar at any of the restaurants near Gershwin theater around 6pm? I don’t want to be wandering around trying to find something to eat if everywhere is super busy. Any advice?

My kitchen appliances are GE black and steel. There are minor issues with the microwave hood and dishwasher that need servicing. The landlord said he will replace them. Today a warehouse company dropped off a white no brand microwave and dishwasher in boxes to be installed by a contractor tomorrow. I dont want it. It will look so tacky and mismatched. Can I refuse it? Left a message with landlord. These boxes are sitting in my kitchen. I dont plan on moving any time soon. Advice?

Looking for a place to buy and see something within our price range - $650k - great! Income restricted… at $65k per year for a married couple.

Even with a 20% down payment, after the interest, taxes, insurance etc it still comes out to around $4200 per month - which no bank would approve a loan for with a $65k income. Nor is that reasonable to expect someone to afford on that income.

So who is it for? People being gifted apartments or inheriting money? What is the benefit of that? I don’t understand.

Hellö everyone,

I will be on my field trip to NYC (first time in the states, first time in America) in end of March, beginning of April next year. I love hourse music, ballroom and Drag. Therefore I wish to take part in the culture and wanted to ask for some spots or events happening in that time frame. My experience is to better ask for things like that, than to Google them.

(Also of there is some nature trails around I'd love to know, preferably reached by public transport. )

Thank you for your recommendations!

It’s my last day in nyc tomorrow and always wanted to just go for it on a set of drums, anyone got a set I could jam on before I go?

Hi! I'm travelling for the first time to NYC this week. Im gonna stay there for about 6 days and I would like to take my film camera with me to take some pictures. But I would like to avoid going trough airport security with the film, I know you can ask for a manual inspection, but I'm terrified of them passing the film rolls trough the scanner anyway.

So I'm wondering what are my options to develop my photos in NYC and taking the negatives back with me. I'm not from the USA, so mail isn't really an option.

How much time does the average lab take to develop a 35mm color film roll? Or what is the fastest lab that I can find in the city?

Hi everyone,

I’m considering moving to NYC and have found an apartment for $1000. However, I’m genuinely curious about how people manage to pay for their tuition, rent, and other expenses, especially those who are independent and paying their own tuition without loans.

Rent takes up such a significant portion of income, so I’d love to hear how others balance these costs. Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi!

I've been seeing the Staten Island Ferry in the East River crossing under the Whitestone Bridge.

Anyone know what that's all about?

Does anybody have any recommendations for a good PT clinic/therapist that they have had success with? I have been struggling with a weight lifting related shoulder injury and was recommended to trial PT by an orthopedic doctor. I live in the Park Slope area of Brooklyn but am willing to travel anywhere in the city for a place with a proven track record and excellent standard of care. Ideally it would be a facility that provides 1 on 1 attention for a majority of the session. I have been to places where it's more of an assembly line where your therapist works with you for 5 minutes or so then moves onto the next scheduled appointment leaving you to do exercises on your own and would like to avoid this style.

My mom passed away just over two years ago. She loved all things related quilting, fabrics, sewing, applique, and cross-stitch. She amassed a very large collection of magazines on these topics, many she ordered from Brittan, we were pretty poor and once she got her social security she indulged in getting many of the things we couldn't afford when I was growing up. She would say that we could resell them after she passed away because they were valuable, I don't have the time to catalogue them individually and sell them, some in my family have suggested just throwing them away, but those magazines, books, and fabrics she collected were her treasures and I don't the heart to do that. It's not easy writing about this even now. Anyways, I would love to find a home for these items, especially the library of magazines, I'm happy sell whatever I can reasonably sell, I was thinking of selling the magazines in lots, but I don't need to money so I'm also happy to donate them if there is group that would be able to make use of them, there's a lot, several moving boxes worth. My dad needs to move, so I trying to help him clear out the house and get this resolved in a way that feels like it honors her memory. Any ideas or assistance would be great, thank you.

From Upper Manhattan, but living in SoCal with my wife, she's from over here. For various reasons, such as being closer to family and putting roots down we want to move to Forest Hills, however my wife has never been and I've barely been as an adult myself. I know it's a relatively safe, family neighborhood but aside from that, what should I know? We're late 20's, not very into nightlife, like to play hockey, huge Mets fans, book club, occasionally eating out type of people. We're also considering keeping our car since I also have family out of the city that I'll likely visit a few times a month.

looking for evening access too. bk metal works open studio usually ends around 6 which makes it not possible after work

More context: I've been in my apt since 2021 and use the online system set up by property management to automatically withdraw rent from my account. Recently noticed I had way more money in my bank than normal and when I looked through my past transactions I saw no rent had been taken out since June of this year- the only thing I've been charged for is the fee for my parking spot. Do I tell my management company? I don't want to backpay thousands of dollars for an error on their part, but I worry if I keep silent it could be worse in the end.

We all know NYC dating culture is pretty unique, so what has been the most fun date you've had in New York City? I know everyone has different interests, so there might be a lot of variety in responses! Plus, everyone has a different meaning of the term, "fun."

What made it so special? What activities did you do? Is there anything you would have done differently? How deep were you in the relationship - early on, few months in, over a year, etc.? The date could be something as simple as grabbing drinks at a bar, attending a concert, or going on an adventure around the city. I'm Interested to see how others will respond.

Dear NewYorkers on Reddit,

Everything is in the title. I live in the 120s on the West side and am looking for places making very good burgers.

What is the best Burger on the West side above 100th street (and, say, below 150th)? Any kind of burger type is welcome (smashed burger, gourmet burger, veggie burger etc.) as long as you consider it significantly above the average, a place you would not miss out.

Okay, so here are the specifics:

I frequently order from https://myhummusfit.com but shipping cost $19.99 to Memphis, TN. Hummus Fit locations aren't in New York, but I figure I could still get an answer here? There's a thing called proxy buying where you can have someone purchase items for you in a different country and they'll ship it to your address while you still cover shipping costs (I believe proxy buyer is the correct terminology). Is there something similar to this within the United States, where someone can go to a Hummus Fit store, buy what I'd like, and maybe shipping won't be as much?
