thanks for the tips all

there's a thread for that

tmobile has been hella shitty for me when i'm in NJ and fine in NYC

t-mobile worked really bad for me in astoria so I dropped them and got verizon and it was much better. that was years ago though.

yeah apparently they're in the process of making their data network 4g comaptible (before that gsm iphones worked, but only got 2g speeds), and new york was one of the first cities to get the upgrade late last year.

verizon, sprint et al. not an option (via gsm iphone). it's at&t or t-mobile.

what's the weather like in new york at the moment?

meh

it was really nice yesterday, it's overcast today

Rain tomorrow. It's generally reliably in the 50s but there can be a chilly breeze still so unless you're right in the sun, it's cooler than you think. Nights are a little cold but you can sit outside in a sweater. High of 70 tomorrow, which I'll believe when I see it, but it shows you how unreliable things are right now.

thank you. in orbit, your answers are always really helpful - i would buy yr travel guide!

dr casino, i got a place through listings project, ~4 blocks from atlantic ave. i had to turn it down though (thanks a lot, us consulate in munich/obama!) good job i have columbia housing to fall back on. seems like with them i can send them an email the week before i arrive and they'll have sth.

still aiming for june 25 arrival, but who knows now. ugh.

i used to live four blocks (three blocks) from atlantic avenue

this girl did not have the haunted look i would expect from a former roommate of yours

i live three blocks from atlantic avenue... greene -> gates -> fulton -> atlantic.

i like it here.

there are bars in all directions.

this place was 4th and warren.

adam schefter and ghost rider used to live around the corner from there

good bars there too

:(

u prob met one of the other personalities

Spoiler: she was dead

wrapped in plastic.

i needed to preserve the fall 07 hipster aesthetic why wont anyone understand

caek, good luck! Columbia buildings are perfectly nice and definitely convenient. I'm just bailing on it because I want to save money and be closer to friends. Still haven't found a good place (still crossing fingers on a bargain popping up in LIC, Sunnyside or Greenpoint but this is clearly optimistic), gotta be outta here by the 31st...eek.

hiyo!

i am in brooklyn and it is warm

too warm tbh

i have a boring coumbia apt. it sounds nice though!

I successfully moved to Bushwick! Saving some dollars, got a nice rooftop view, roommates seem all right so far. But like I said, those Columbia buildings are perfectly nice. Roughly where's it at?

119 st

looks fine on streetview

what is the commute like from bushwick. i looked at brooklyn a little, but only along the 2/3, and all plans for non-columbia stuff fell apart when my visa got delayed

at least an hour

I've made it in 50 mins but the trains had to line up perfectly. Working on getting my bike time down/finding the perfect route. I definitely think you beat it living on 119th. ;)

hey new york. I'm from Australia and I go to new york from about the 26th to the 2nd. FAP?

quorum achieved!

let's do this. friday june 28? location?

you're up near columbia? and we don't know where sic is staying, but probably somewhere in lower manhattan for easy access from brooklyn? i'm not an authority on east village/lower east side drinking, especially for a group.

we don't know where sic is staying

looking like Chelsea. holy crap hostels in New York are the price of cheap hotel rooms elsewhere.

Report back.

i know a few dive bars in chinatown if you guys are willing to go lower lower east side

as low as we can go

i might be in if someone can remind me

Chinatown dive bar totally yes.
