New York

i can't tell if i'm dry and scratchy bc of pollen or because i shredded documents for like 4 hours and have kicked up a lot of dust in my packing.

Having lived in Jersey City I would maybe recommend it over the further parts of Queens, although even then there's just something about New York that feels like New York, and something about Jersey City that feels like imitation New York.

i'm not even comparing Jersey City to the further parts of queens (college point? flushing?)

Astoria/Sunnyside/Woodside/Jackson Heights should be considered more nearer then further.

i just sold my dresser to a hipster dude with an asian girlfriend and i just... felt so right about my decision to move.

For someone who works long hours in downtown manhattan and cares a lot about convenience, Jersey City is probably a better lifestyle than Jackson Heights, Astoria etc. That said, no one works in downtown manhattan anymore and I never knew many of the kind of people who fit my description.

Tipping point?

how much did they get you for?

in re: rents and real estate, i have no idea how representative this is, but we just knocked $250/month off our rent in negotiating a renewal, without even trying hard. our landlord is one of those big asshole companies that own lots of buildings, so obviously they have access to all sorts of info on rent trends and whatnot, which means it's probably a good renters' market. (or we were just overpaying by so much that they felt bad for us. or they just really like us. but neither of those seems awfully likely to me.)

somehow I don't think joblessness is gonna get my rent-stabilized hike of 4-1/2% waived next month.

need hotel. doesn't matter where too much, needs to not be gross, prefer cheap.

?

i got a couch which will run you one six-pack per night + the cost of food delivery.

for serious? I there for Boadrum...

i would be open to lettin u stay on couch for sure, adamrl. e-mail a bro.

OK

BROOKLYN tell me abt the hood around DEAN and NOSTRAND

does anyone know of any large coffee houses in new york?

How large?

larger than your usual diner or starbucks. I'm thinking there aren't any...

the starbucks at astor place is pretty big

i would have said Lotus on the lower east side but it's closed :(

did anyone else just hear that big scary missile/thunder sound?

ah, it's raining.

Anything happening between the 7th and 11th? i'm going! very excited about it, never having been to America before!

going to be in NYC for first time in apr. stoked

there's an african jazz night at st nicks pub (189th st iirc?), every saturday night starting midnight. fun to go loosen up at if you're just arriving in town. you get to take the a train!

Heading to NYC tomorrow pm - Mon am with my bf. Staying in the East Village (air b&b apartment). 1. It's going to rain all weekend; 2. bf has done his back in and can't walk very far or for very long.

Any East Village activity suggestions based on these two facts, other than chilling out and eating and drinking?

Put me in the pool of people who are going. Huge university trip in two weeks.

working in new york for a week from saturday, staying meat packing district but up for some exploration and really want to be told about some kind of amazing record store where mint conditon disco records go for a dolllar. Anyone any wonderful local treasures they want to let me know about or does that involve a time machine to the 90s?

just a random recommendation for dumbo. one of the only neighborhoods left with cobblestone streets.

lol

Any of you guys and girls live on the UWS?

I used to know someone who lived on the UWS. She was a struggling documentary filmmaker! I also used to know people who lived in Chelsea. I knew somebody who rented a room in the meatpacking district for peanuts. One of my best friends lived on Ludlow Street. But nobody lives in Manhattan any more, right?

Talk about NEW YORK, people. What is the deal? I haven't lived there in 8 years and I imagine it as a kind of post-apocalyptic landscape of rich people, ringed by pools of poor people, reinforced by vast concrete holding pens of families just gettin' by, interlaced and suffused with artisanal seams of Portlandia extras who receive outsized attention in regional magazine articles.

it's been fucking over for years, even before we got Domino's Pizza and police-state patdowns at ballgames.

I've lived all over in 3 boroughs I'm the past 20 years and I like the UWS a lot. Everything is right there. And 5 blocks between Ruverside and Central Parks.

Lower Manhattan is just French ppl and some Scandinavians

Can someone please lower the tax rate in France so these horrible people stop coming to Brooklyn?

Times Square hasn't been good since Mars 2112 closed
