we will only be able to sit down around 10 pm. very special, once in a lifetime occasion so I’d like to get this right!
the important thing is nice romantic lighting and nice food. no ceiling to the price range in mind.
i like French, austrian, eastern euro food but have no real particular demands!
Hi,
I am wondering if anyone here could share a little advice or experience if they've done the same, or know anyone who has done similarly --
I got a degree in Urban Studies in 2020 which has proved utterly inapplicable to what I've spent the past 5 years doing for work, for better or worse! I work as a registrar and archivist with artists in New York City, which is at times rewarding and fun and at the higher end can be somewhat well paid. I am desperate for a change of career and would like to do something that is ultimately a bit more meaningful and relevant to my interests and undergraduate studies.
While my degree was indeed not a 5 year architecture degree, it did include 4 semesters of optional architecture design studios which ended up being pretty involved and rigorous. I have a great bit of design work for a portfolio and I'd say better than average Rhino skills for someone without a technical degree in this field. I've spoken with a former professor (an architect who I also worked for as a research assistant) who was very supportive and encouraging while I was at college and told me many times over that she thinks I ought to apply for masters programs and that she'd be happy to help me assemble an application. She was excited to learn that I was reconsidering applications and had lots of thoughtful advice re: schools to consider, cost of living realities, timeline, etc.
If I applied to programs, I'd be starting a MArch at 30 years old after about a decade of unrelated work. I'd finish at 33, spend 2-4 years working in an entry level position before licensure, become licensed around 35-37, 40 at latest.
My ideal career and work life balance would mirror that of the professors I had in undergrad; principal or partner at a small firm and the ability to teach college students.
The way I see it, I'm several years late, and would be spending more of my working life earning a low salary vs. continuing down my current path towards a career which I find ultimately, deeply unsatisfying and has little room for growth beyond lateral changes. Any advice would be very greatly appreciated with regards to my timeline, the odds of this working out, what practical disadvantages I might be overlooking with coming to the field later than most, etc. Also, I understand that MArch students skew older; how late am I to the degree, really?
Thanks so much!

How is it up there? I might have an opportunity to move into a cheap spot.
Would you raise children in that neighborhood? Anything severely lacking, i.e. grocery stores or other neighborhood amenities? Don't really care about anything beyond relatively safety and security, a nice park to hang out in sometimes, access to the train, and maybe parking.
But it's a part of the borough I'm totally unfamiliar with, I'd appreciate any insight!
I am wondering if these might be a good option for me - i am 5' 10" and not particularly explosive laterally/don't drive super fast a ton but I can jump super high and pull down lots of rebounds, can jump up and grab the rim pretty easily, etc. my game is a lot of mid range shooting, occasional drives to the basket, footwork, lots of passing.
Basically I am not unathletic by any means but I am a bit slow on the drive and don't have a super fast first step so I don't rely on blowing past defenders to score. I have played in shoes with a lot of cushion before and honestly kind of enjoyed the lift and bounce they gave me over the 'court feel' of lower to the ground shoes I've worn.
Any thoughts on the NB fresh foam BB v3, or others would be very much appreciated!

Hi!
Does anyone have any recommendations for really, really good homemade Greek yogurt in/near Bay Ridge? Also, favorite olive bar?
Thank you!
