If I really like The Trout and Mendelssohns Octet, what other works would you recommend to me, by them or other composers? Especially if you have a specific recording in mind.

Thank you and have a great weekend

For the next 8 months I’ll be simultaneously cold and sweating any time I’m outside. How to dress to avoid this? I find the standard “wear layers” only slightly helpful because if I take the layer off I’m just cold, and also with bustling NYC life it’s tricky to carry all the doffed layers around

If rats were the size of humans, would it be bad for New York since they would need to consume a lot more, or would it end up being a real positive since they couldn’t sneak around as easily and their size might make the city get serious about getting rid of them?

Why are Puerto Ricans not considered “transplants” while people from Connecticut, Virginia, Maryland etc (all closer geographically and culturally) are?

Mini rant: stfu about my kid on the bus

I have run into a string of MTA employees and passengers being absolute pricks about my kid’ stroller on the bus over the last couple of weeks. He has as much right to be on the bus as any of you. The stroller does not take up any more room in the aisle than a person standing in the aisle does. Folding up the types of strollers that the vast majority of people actually use will make them more difficult to get out of the way, not less. All of these people had attitudes on half full buses where there were plenty of open seats. they need to get rid of this half asses requirement entirely. I’m sick of people feeling like they can hold it over me

Adult with no child smoking weed in playground. What can I do?

intimidating looking person the only one in the playground, and I did not want to risk a confrontation. as a result, my kid can’t play. what can I do? is this a 911 call or something else.

should add there were MANY free benches available DIRECTLY outside playground gates. This person clearly decided to be in the playground specifically

Why no tetherball? This high octane sport has a very easy learning curve, it’s easy to play winner stays style,and takes up almost no room – – seemingly the perfect combination for our cramped and bustling city parks

Does Central Park zoo provide showers for the staff, or are they daily subjecting public transportation to sea lion water, musk of grizzly bear, eau de goat etc, since I’m assuming generally, they’re not able to afford to live within walking distance?

referring obviously to the actual zoo staff, as no one would think office support staff need to shower after work etc

You get a free car of your choice as well as free maintenance and repairs for life. You can get the same deal every 10 years but you can’t drive any other car. Whenever the car is on, Canadian rocker Tom Cochrane’s 1991 smash hit “Life is a highway” will play nonstop.

It’s loud enough you’ll be able to talk over it, but only if you focus on raising your voice.

Has anyone had luck getting a rent stabilized apartment in UWS, UES, or South Harlem by hiring a broker? Any tips? Rough cost? Would want school district 2 or 3

2K Family Childcare centers in district 6. Recommendations and help understanding?

looking to enroll my child in 2K and looking for some guidance. First off it seems we can only apply to family childcare centers. I’m a bit confused by these. All they list is a persons name and address. Am I supposed to just drop my kid off at some rando‘s house? Are these legit? And if this is how it works and it’s not actually insane to do this at all, how am I supposed to find out anything about their qualifications or philosophy since again, MySchools gives no information besides a name and address?

has anyone used one of these and can recommend anyone? our kid is very very big and active so the two top priorities are a place that can handle a kid like that + no screens

Bendheim playground (Central Park by Mt Sinai): please clean up after yourselves

honestly finding trash at all in the playground sucks. but yesterday it was multiple plastic bags and hundreds of pieces of popped and shredded balloons. that stuff is seriously dangerous for a substantial number of playground users. normally there’s a good vibe there so let's please keep it that way and keep things safe and clean for everyone
