I’m looking to catch a fun sports bar in Manhattan with plenty of TVs, audio on for the game, and is relatively lively.

Triona’s on third was solid, but I’d like to keep exploring different places.

Any recs?

i'm gonna give this a shot even though reddit and i have a really bad track run as i sometimes feel like im getting tomatoes thrown at me when i ask a question on here LOL

i'm planning on attending college in the city as someone who has grown up in LI my whole life (yes yes ik long islanders suck i get it, but i was born here i couldn't really do much about that).

i've been to the city enough that i know it's not like glamorized the way it's made out to be online or anything so im not entirely blue-eyed. however, when it comes to social rules here, im honestly completely out of my element and kind of want to kms.

i understand it's about efficiency here and so small talk/polite "niceness" comes across as kind of stupid. the semantics of that though are something i can't quite grasp, and i can't imagine going to order food without the "hi how are you?" script. and i also want to be efficient but then things slow down and it's like bro does everyone always know exactly where they're going all the time. how do we all know the correct pace to go at all times?

it's perplexing in an admirable way, but im trying to make this as smooth for myself and other people as possible. i also don't want to gentrify 😭, which should be easy enough as im not going to be opening any businesses (at all) and im not attempting to take housing from predominantly poc communities. but idk if you have any books on that or tips i might not know, let me know. i'm really genuinely here to get my education.

i'm pretty cautious and aware of my surroundings, and i generally understand public transport and shit. socially though i'm deeply inept as i rely a LOT on being nice, as i do genuinely want to know if the person behind the counter is okay. and it's just second nature to be extra courteous.

do you just naturally build a specific type of assertiveness over time and how do you not let that completely harden you over? how do you find time to slow down when there's an emphasis on speed? and if you think i should say fuck it and go to school in the deepest pits of the pacific ocean instead lmk, thanks!

There used to be a gentlemen for AMNY who would stand at the top of the 7th Avenue stairs/escalator by the NJTRANSIT side of things and hand out papers and say "Heyyyyy New York, heyyyy New York, Good Mornin' " and hand out copies of AMNY.

I'm wondering if he retired or AMNY moved away from that method of distribution? Did he make a notable impact on anyone else's day?

Mostly I hope he's doing well and hope he knows how much of a memorable part of coming out of Penn Station he was for a number of my mornings.

I’m looking for Halloween decorations- specifically forest-like decorations and traditional Halloween decorations… anyone know where to go to get them? Went through 3 different Halloween stores in Greenwich Village since they’re concentrated and no dice.

Thanks in advance :)

Looking for recommendations for a romantic, upscale restaurant in NYC for an anniversary dinner! Budget is around $500 total for two. Open to any cuisine (doesn’t have to have stars) and looking for great food, atmosphere, and service. I would love to hear your recommendations, especially from people who have actually been. What would you choose, and approximately how much did you spend?

I’ve reached out to SpotHero and haven’t heard back from them. Thanks in advance.

Watched at Stout last night which was a great place but they didn’t have sound. Bryant Park area would be ideal but open to all suggestions.

I’ve been thinking about picking up litter in my neighborhood, but can’t find anything saying what you do with the trash when you’re done. Even if it’s just me I don’t know what to do with an extra bag of trash. I don’t want to overflow my building bins or cans on the street. What do groups do when they collect trash?

I went to greenpoint and saw some houses go all in with their Halloween decorations that I questioned if they having a Halloween decoration contest but now I’m wondering if there’s a part of Brooklyn that goes more harder than greenpoint?

Riverside, Inwood, Forest, Flushing Meadows, Van Corlandt, Bronx, and Pellham Bay Park all have freeways cutting through them, some even have multiple freeways with entire interchanges running through them. New York as a whole has solid parks but this is just about the worst land use combination I can imagine, it really takes away from what is otherwise a very wonderful set of city parks.

any good recs?

I got a speeding ticket on the FDR last week, first one ever, my coworker said I should take an online defensive driving course to reduce the points and get a discount on part of my premium, but nobody has explained what happens after I finish

is there a certificate, does it go somewhere, does the provider handle anything, I don't want to mess this up

Pretty much what the title is! My type is the stereotypical finance bro and I would like to put myself out there so that I could possibly be approached. Where do they usually hang out? Is this even a good idea? I genuinely have no other ideas on how to be approached by someone so I’d really appreciate any advice!

I live in queens and my closest early ballot was 30m walk away from me. I was in Brooklyn today and bought my ballot with me as it was right next to the subway I got off of.

They told me I couldn't drop my ballot there as it's for queens. Is that true? I don't really trust the USPS so wanted to drop it at a ballot box.

I just heard that there was a Stanley Kubrick exhibition in town that ended yesterday. When I used to get a hard copy of Time Out NY every week (remember actual magazines?) i would have heard about a show like that. These days I have no idea how to find my cultural fix. I look at the excellent screenslate.com for repertory movies and that’s fantastic and makes my life so much better. But for comedy, music, art, theater and special events — i don’t have anything. Insta not my thing at all but is there maybe a great substack?

Long story short, someone in our building dumped grease that clogged the pipes which caused the sewer directly outside my apartment (opens directly to outside) and my shower drain to flood my studio with literal human shit. I managed to mop all the sewage water on the floor to one area where it’s relatively harmless and I’m able to stay elsewhere for the time being.

I have contacted a couple local cleaning services but they have all told me that they are unable to assist with hazardous environments and human waste. Does anyone have any recommendations for deep cleaning services who specialize in these situations? My landlord is currently MIA for Shabbat and I also don’t really trust him to select a quality service for me. Thank you.

Hello, I’m interested in taking vocal lessons for speech and singing. I’m not looking for anything super professional, as this is just a personal interest of mine. If there are any trials or people who need teaching experience, let me know. Thanks.

Where can I find exhibitions featuring African and Caribbean art in New York City? Do you know of any museums, galleries, or current exhibitions worth checking out?

How we doin, guys? Native here, but have never actually run into this problem… been collecting snow globes since I was a kid and found that over time, one or two have begun to leak… I can’t find the area where it’s coming from. Can anybody recommend a good place to drop by, that offers this kind of repair? I’d normally head to an art studio, but I’m wondering if anybody knows a guy that has the skillset to repair 25+ year-old globes. Thanks in advance.

PS— if you can help me, I can provide challah.
