Resident Housing

Hopefully I will be at a pharmacy residency program at NY Presbyterian. Are there any cheap housing near these campuses?

1st time visit

My daughter and 11 of her friends (28-30 yo) all from California will be visiting for the 1st time this week and staying in Manhattan for a week. What are some things they must do and things the hype isn’t worth. How about restaurants? They like fun places and sport bars. Do the vendors still sell hotdogs on the street or am I watching too much tv? Are they good or should they stay away lol

Couch for Sale

I bought the Abisko Welsh Gray Left Sectional Sofa from Article (link from Article: https://www.article.com/product/22025/abisko-94-5-left-sectional-welsh-gray) one year ago. I am moving and it doesn't fit in my new apartment. It is in great condition, we always had it covered in blankets. The two gray matching pillows come with the couch (the black pillow, faux fur pillow and throw do not). The original price is $1599 (see website link), selling for $550, open to negotiate!

Sushi Recs

Anyone have any good sushi place recs? Looking for semi nice but not like $175 a person. I know there are a lot of omakase places but I’m looking more for a place where we can order what we want with a good mix of sashimi, nigiri, and rolls. I’ll be close to Times Square and hoping to walk but if it’s really good I’m willing to travel to get there (unless it’s off island in which not that far)

Thanks peeps

Election night watch party with teen?

I've found lots of great watch parties, but all in bars. Where can my teen & I go? We're seeing a show that night so will be coming from the theatre district at about 9:30pm. OK paying for a watch party event if that's the best option.

East Harlem love

Hi guys! Just wanted to share my perspective on living in East Harlem for the past year or so. I feel like there isn’t as much East Harlem neighborhood representation on the internet, and the representation that there is seems pretty negative. I wanted to share my perspective for someone who chose to live here and is thrilled to do so.

For context, I’m a native New Yorker, gay, and POC who moved back after a few years working in another state and purchased an apartment in East Harlem.

Can I tell you something - a year later and I’m still excited to be in this neighborhood! It feels like I used a cheat code to able to live in Manhattan.

I have so much to say so I’ll try and organize my thoughts and start with this: The thought process around choosing this neighborhood to purchase in for my return was - okay, I would need to be able to travel both downtown and uptown for work a few times a month (I work in health care) and felt like Manhattan over Brooklyn neighborhoods with name recognition would allow me significantly more options.

Now Let’s talk:

Real Estate: -Of course, there are great homes all over the city, but what made EH stand out was the sheer size of the apartments at the price point. My goal was to get as much as I could for under a million (respect to all and not trying to sound crass by bringing up numbers) I was spoiled by out of state living where space and amenities are a dime a dozen but can be hard to find in NYC. I did not compromise on a single thing I wanted - over 1200 square feet, two beds and two baths, washer dryer, outdoor space, and multiple southern and northern exposures in a great boutique building. HOA less than a thousand on a gorgeous, tree lined block.

When I check all of the filters for everything mentioned above on Zillow or RedFin or street easy, there are so many specifically in this neighborhood.

Transportation: So East Harlem is primarily served by the 456 trains, specifically the 6 train. I’m on 116th street and the stop is perhaps a 7 min walk from my house. Not too shabby in the grand scheme of things.

If I need to get downtown quickly, I realized I could take the 6 train uptown to 125th and take the express from there. I know 125th has a bad rap but really, as a new Yorker are you really getting in as much trouble out there as the internet says you will end up in? Of course not. 125 is turning into a beautiful thoroughfare with tons of glamorous apartments and shopping.

Also, what a gift to have the select bus M15 on second avenue. If I have to travel downtown, those are the two main modes of transport I’d use. With the M15 (select or not) it’s either a 4 or 6 minute bus ride to the UES (4 min to 96th, 6 min to 86th).

m60 to LGA is 15 minutes from 125th street.

And then…I discovered taking the M15 to the Q train on 96th street. After a 4 min bus ride I suddenly have rapid access to the UES, 20 min to time square, 30 min to Penn station, Hell’s Kitchen, Chinatown, and Brooklyn?! I really feel like I hit the jackpot.

Also, they started breaking ground on the new Q train extension, which will have stops at 106, 116 and 125th. It’ll take a while, I’m sure, but I’m hopeful and already able to get around pretty nicely.

Dog stuff: There’s a great dog clinic called ‘Oliver’s Dog and Cat clinic on 115th. We adore the vet. Also, the park on 114th has a dog run and a grassy area for your little guy to run around in. Also so many great, affordable (read: non Manhattan priced) groomers in the area.

East River esplanade: From the park mentioned above, you can walk over the FDR to get to the East river esplanade. Not only are they redoing the EH river walk in 2025 but it’s great as is to bike down the East side of Manhattan, across the water to Randall’s island and beyond.

Food: Big Mexican presence, which is delicious and fascinating. There’s a smattering of old generation Italian spots, soul food, Indian and tons of bakeries. The iconic patsys, contento, amor Cubano. A speakeasy just opened on 116th called the terrace which is super underground glam. If you need more, take that 4 min M15 to the UES for glamorous restaurants or groceries. The UES becomes your extension neighborhood.

This might need an addendum post at some point but I wanted to just mention safety. People are uncomfortable with project buildings. But you know who lives in project buildings? Just regular people living lives like in any other building. It’s literally fine. I’ve never had a problem or seen anything but I’m sure if you carried yourself well you’d decrease the odds of anything bad happening. There’s a lot of older families who are sweet and kind and now a lot of young professionals are joining the fun up here. All the neighborhood natives are so kind and are helpful and supportive. Very old New York.

Did I mention the Costco, Aldi, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s at both 125th and the UES? Or if you’re in a rush, 4 mins away by bus on the UES.

Don’t forget great coffee shops like Don Alejo, Cafe Azalea, el Barrista,Aroma, Dell Aria….

Is bud your thing? How about queer WOC owned Betty Budz? How about a bud cafe called lambs wool? Need more glam? Take that m15 down…

Anyways, just wanted to spread some positivity. I feel so fortunate to live here. And am thankful for everything I’ve discovered and learned about the area. Things work out the way they are supposed to, you know?

Just appreciate your hood even if the rest of the world doesn’t see its value…yet.

1 train missed connection 10/30

hello, if you're the guy with round glasses who was wearing a flat brim yankees hat, blue and white striped button down, a navy vest for a company whose initials are ACG, grey pants, black shoes and pulled on a brown jacket before getting off the train going uptown at 96th to transfer (or so i assume as you stood on the platform after getting off), i'm the girl in the mask and yellow beanie who had the kitten on her way home from surgery and missed my chance to say anything. i hope you see this and, most importantly, go yankees!

Plaza/Central Park South area brunch suggestions?

Tried to get late breakfast reservations at the Plaza but no luck as during the month of December it’s hotel guests only. Any other suggestions for a classy brunch on a Saturday morning in mid-December around there?

Walking with the elephants in the Meatpacking District

They really did a great job with this exhibition. The handmade wood 🐘 were majestic. Glad I got this footage in 4K before they were removed.
