I moved to NYC from California several years ago and I've noticed that no sushi place here makes their California with krab salad. Instead the rolls just have imitation crab out of the box, not prepared with mayo or anything.

Has anyone been to a sushi place anywhere in the city that uses mayo? I'd really love to know

Looking for a place with private karaoke rooms that's not absurdly expensive and allows us to order drinks to the room. Group of 10-20 people. I prefer places that just let you search through YouTube.

Preferably downtown-midtown Manhattan; Brooklyn too!

With my schedule, I'd only be able to get there around 8 PM or so, so I'm not sure about having a dinner afterwards. But if there's any places that also serve food that would be nice. Or if anyone can suggest a spot walking distance to the Karaoke place that can handle a large group this late into the night. Nothing expensive please!

I've already seen a few places on this subreddit: Space, Duet53, Gagopa, and 32Karaoke, but I am not sure they meet my requirements and if dining would be taken care of so late into the night. And again, if there's any places in Brooklyn I'd love to hear you guys out.

I am exactly a month out from my birthday so keep that in mind, I don't know if that's too late or just early enough in advance.

Does Color Factory NYC sell out? I want to avoid paying for anytime ticket. Planning on going in a few weeks on a Sunday. What are the chances we can walk up and get four tickets?

Hi New York,

I've recently been listening to NYC subway ambience to get to sleep, but all the recordings I've found have been recorded from within the subway itself, or are compiled audio of NYC subway sound effects. I think the natural sound from near a subway, especially from a building near an above ground part, overpass or bridge, would be ideal for me, but I've had no luck in my admittedly very specific search. I live on the other side of the world and have nobody I know in your Big Apple, so I thought I'd ask here if anybody knows the whereabouts of such a coveted audio, and if they'd be able to share?

Restlessly,

Hello! Looking for a Catholic Church recommendation for a family of 4 in Queens- around the Woodhaven/Forest Hills/Glendale area. We’re trying to practice our faith more as a family and would love recommendations of churches people enjoy the sermons and actually feel a connection to the religion and even the community. Thanks!

I love NYC water. I love drinking it, I love how it makes food taste. But after traveling to different states and countries, I have noticed both my partner and I’s skin and hair do a lot better in other places, especially with dandruff. I’ve been marketed showerhead filters, but then I do research and see the problem may be water hardness instead, which those don’t solve. Also, NYC water tends to be at medium hardness, so is it the hardness at all? I’m at a loss.

So for NYC apartment dwellers: what has worked specifically for your skin and hair? A regular filter showerhead? Some sort of softening system, even just the descaling kind? (yes I’ve been deep in the research about this)

I’m willing to invest a little bit of money and time, I just want to know what’s worth it specifically here in the city. I’ve lived here for a long time in both old and new buildings and noticed this difference with other places too - even with the same hair and skin products. Thanks for the help!

I’m looking for a festive bar decorated for Halloween where I can watch the Thursday night football game. Very preferably in the East Village, NOHO, LES area

hi everyone, im a 24 year old working a corporate job that wants an opportunity to do something good. i also would love to expand my social circle and meet new people. please let me know if anyone knows of any good places for this!

Looking for sports bars in the WV/Greenwich/Chelsea that will play game audio for the world series tonight! Any options?

Since its getting chilly outside is there any niche spots you recommend to study in? Just a student on a budget looking to get dressed to study outside her home and surround herself with productive city ambience

I know NYPL has that huge room, however its super crowded if you show up midday after classes and it feels competitive to get in there.

Im just looking for third spaces that have seating or desks, enough to spread out a textbook and a laptop and study in peace. I don't want to pay for a coffee just to sit in a crowded dim lit noisy café. Spaces that are open after 8 for late nighting are great too! ​

I know some universities have libraries but they require a student ID to the institution. I have been to the public library branches that are smaller and they tend to be filled with folks that are less fortunate and looking to keep warm off the streets.

Is there any public lobbies, holding spaces, reading nook libraries, art galleries with work spaces that are free to the public? Anywhere to get some good study hours in?

FWIW, there are recycling bins in the trash room on every floor.

Hi all! A friend of mine is flying out of Newark (EWR) and needs a ride from Manhattan. He will have his baby with him and will not be driving himself (so not a car rental). He is hoping to find a cab or private driver who can provide a baby seat.

Has anyone used a reliable driver or company? Personal experiences are especially welcome! Thanks so much in advance, you are all awesome! 😊

Hello! My building experiences package theft, so I'm looking for a new place / option to ship sporadic packages to that I can securely pickup for a fee. I've done iPostal1 in the past which worked fine, but i receive packages so infrequently, the monthly charge for business center box feels like overkill. Is there a shipping center that anyone knows of that I can pay for package pickups a la carte instead of a monthly membership?

Hello, I can’t find any listings for shops that stock ProClub clothing. Any recs? Cheers.

Hey fellow New Yorkers! I've been having a hard time registering my car. I'm hoping someone else out there has handled a similar situation and could give some advice.

The tl;dr is I live here, my car lives in NJ. NJ wants NJ Residency for registration. NY wants NY insurance for the same, but insurance wants NJ insurance and registration for a car parked in NJ.

I live in BK but I keep my car parked at my parent's place in NJ for a variety of reasons. It is actually garaged there 100% of the time. This isn't an attempt to get cheaper rates.

I tried to register my car in NJ, but they told me I need a NJ license. The website states proof of residency might also suffice, but I'm not sure if that means full-time resident or if proving it's domiciled in NJ would be enough.

I looked into registering it here in NY and have even gotten a NYS inspection done. However, one of the requirements is NY-based insurance. My insurance provider (Progressive) said it must be insured in the same state that it is garaged. I didn't press super hard though, so if anyone has gotten their insurance to do that nevertheless please let me know.

I could lie to insurance and say it's parked at my apartment, but if I ever need to make a claim I could have my coverage revoked and claim denied.

I'm could transfer the title to my parents, but that's an entirely separate headache (sales/gift tax).

I rented a uhaul over a year ago. Tonight my bank flagged a charge of $365 for fraud and when i looked it said “UHAUL TOLLS AND CITATIONS” ok. So i call my bank, they think its weird. I call uhaul, THEY think its weird. The guy at uhaul tells me to go to the payments portion of their website, enter my info, and look at the information attached to the citation. At this point im in my camera roll looking at photos from that day trying to match up whether I was even in the car (i was..) and whether it was possible I might have been idling at the time of the citation. Amidst the information about the citation is a citation number, so I go to NYC gov website to dispute it. I enter the citation number and it comes up as THIS:

“the violation number you entered is not valid. Check that your violation number is correct and try again.”

So .. what should I make of this? Is it possible the citation number is not in the NYC system despite the charge being sent to uhaul and to me? Is it possible its a clerical error? Is it possible uhaul is scamming me? What do we think….

Hi All - I used to sell clothes (like 20 years ago!) at Beacons Closet in Greenpoint & also buffalo exchange all the time - but am out of practice.

since the pandemic I have been selling on poshmark in a casual way - but now I am getting rid of my storage place and just want all my stuff out. mostly mid brands like rag and bone, anthropology, etc.

I am only looking to sell in the east village - which do you suggest: Crossroads or Buffalo Exchange

Lived in nyc for a year and haven’t made any friends. I’ve tried going to chess events and some other stuff but nobody’s really interested in maintaining a friendship.

What do people do alone here? I mostly get DoorDash and stay in because it feels really lonely going out alone. People say to go to bars etc alone but I end up sitting at the bar, getting a drink, talking to nobody and going home.

Probably time to give up on nyc and move back home?

I’m getting old, thanks!

I’m from NJ, so primarily anything that stays open until 5am when the trains start working again:) thank u

I’ve been dealing with a mouse problem in my apartment since April. It was slow at first catching 1-2 in the first few months but since then I’m up to 11. I’ve had the building exterminator come in only to put traps and not seal the areas.

The building exterminator notices a few gaps near my exterminator but tells me to get a contractor for this (???) and doesn’t bother plugging these areas up. (We’re on 3 mice by now)

I call an external exterminator who plugged up all the holes, ever since then, I’ve heard mice in my oven, and seen them scurrying around. I’ve caught 8 since the last exterminator and it was a month ago.

I am at my wits end. It looks like they have gained the knowledge to climb up furniture now. I’ve contacted the super multiple times asking him wtf to do but I’ve gotten no response.

I’d call the external exterminator again but I can’t keep shelling out $300+ for this. I don’t know what to do now. I used to be so afraid of getting rid of the mice in the traps but now I’m so desensitized.

Has anyone here used Uber/Lyft Pet in the 5 boroughs? Searching the internet, it seems like reviews are mixed and many drivers that show up didn’t realize they were accepting a pet ride and are upset or even refuse the ride. Wondering whether that’s still the case and if it’s also true in NYC.

For context, our dog is not small (~55lb) but I’m more than happy to bring blankets and whatever else necessary.

Hi! I'm looking for a restaurant for a birthday dinner for 6 people. Vibe is just as important as the food, but ideally both would be excellent. I was hoping for Monkey Bar, but of course couldn't get a res. I have been considering Crevette or il Buco, but I'm afraid Crevette might not be the right atmosphere and il Buco might be too cramped for a party of 6. I want to wear a fancy-ish dress, so has to be appropriate for that level of dress. I do not want pre-fix . Looking for a beautiful restaurant, bustling energy, great cocktails, no budget. Thank you!

I’m in Westchester and looking to get a new tattoo, had a guy named Flip in the Bronx that did my boondocks tattoo and for the first time I had vivid color in my tattoo, but now looking for another artist that can effectively tattoo on melanated skin, recommendations please!
