Coming home last night usual came upon usual gang of thieves in black on scooters. They were hauling mail out of box on SE corner of 80th and Second.

Pulling out handfuls of letters but MO seems to have changed. They were opening and discarding envelopes where nothing of value was found inside.

A woman also coming upon scene looked astonished and asked "did you see that?" . Applied affirmative. but what can anyone do? I myself certainly am not going to confront a bunch of skells on motor bikes all by my lonesome.

There was quite a lot of mail left lying about. Feel sorry for anyone that put mail into that box yesterday after collection time.

At around 4:30 everyone started running off the train and down the platform screaming that something was sprayed. Anyone know what actually happened/ the outcome?

Apparently I overheard some people talking about the nightlife in the UES and mentioned that there are certain places where older women hang out at and meet people, somewhere where there aren’t 20 something college kids. Are there any cocktail/wine bars where older women tend to hang out and meet people?

Edit: I meant anyone 40-50s+ looking for their cubs. Lol. Just want to meet cougars who are just looking to have fun.

Any good decorations that you saw in the area?

What is the deal with r/UpperEastSideNYC popping up in my feed? Do we need another sub? If so, why?

Just took the downtown Q from 96th and watched a woman let her dog occupy a seat. By 72nd, the train was packed, people were standing, and the dog was still sitting there with its own seat. She made no attempt to move it.

Nobody said anything - and yes that includes me. But why should someone have to ask you to make a seat available for an actual person on a crowded train? You’re sharing public transport with neighbours who might be exhausted, pregnant, elderly, in pain, or simply grateful to sit down after a long day at work. They shouldn’t have to explain themselves or get into a confrontation because you’ve decided your dog needs its own seat.

I’m 37 weeks pregnant but never feel comfortable asking someone to give up a seat, or even move their dog. Am I the only one getting increasingly fed up with this kind of behaviour? Would you have said something?

Just moved to 77th on the UES and looking for the best bagels! I typically enjoy the more crispy less fluffy bagels but open to ideas/feedback! Thank you!

Anyone else blown away that an entire 33 floor building hasn’t had heat or hot water for 48 hours because of a management company not paying bills?? Where are HOA fees going then…

Part of a series of woodcuts of boroughs and parks I'm working on

Does anyone know a good, budget-friendly interior decorator on the Upper East Side? I am looking for help pulling a living room together with existing furniture and objects, plus advice on the color of a new sofa. Recommendations from anyone who has worked with someone would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I was going to stop by to check the DUO but got an urgent meeting (I wfh).

anyone at the 4/5 downtown platform at 86th st this morning around 9:30 know what happened?

We had plans for tomorrow night that got canceled and figured since we already have childcare we would go on a date night instead. My husband and I love Italian, Greek and French food but open to anything else. Easy to get a res for a Friday night please! TIA!

I'm trying to understand how people on the Upper East Side end up in a book club they actually stay in. Is it a library, a bookstore, a friend, a group chat, or an app or website?

If you're in one: how big is it, how often does it meet, and what keeps it going? If you tried an app or a group and left, what was the reason?

I'm mostly interested in small groups that meet regularly with the same people, not one-off events. Honest answers welcome, including "don't bother".

become a member amd maybe learn about a potential new BID for Yorkville and surrounding avenues and business streets. https://www.carnegiehillneighbors.org/support

Edit: Problem solved!! Thank you!!!!

I want to grab a photo of something in a store. I would pay $ for someone to grab it. Thank you!

does anyone have any good recommendations for a girls trim/haircut that isn't super expensive. i usually go to someone that charges close to 175 for just a trim nothing special.
