Thinking about moving next year when I start work but kinda wanna bring my car to nyc. What’s the best neighborhood, considering price and vibes, where I can easily get to midtown and have my car around no issue? I would prefer not to be in Manhattan for price issues (parking and insurance). I was thinking Astoria would be a good option. Let me know if you got any recommendations.

edit: Lmao yall are assholes. I ALREADY LIVE HERE.

edit2: Actually remarkably funny how xenophobic you all are despite statistics saying you lean heavily left

Title tells most of the story. I want to go to a place that has real classic southern food. Not some upscale brunch that cares more about vibes and presentation. I wanna be surrounded by old southerners and get served a heaping serving of biscuits and gravy. Let me know if there are some good places like this (or any other recommendations)

I have an offer in hand for big law and I have the freedom to pick any office I like with the same salary regardless (my practice is exclusively federal). I’m strongly leaning New York right now despite my age (early 30s) but what I am really worried about is not the money. I’m worried about how much I am gonna fucking hate my life when I bill 100 hours a week AND have to live in a shoebox in queens/BK. Importantly, my firm has a very strong WFH policy so I will lean on that fairly hard.

NYC big law attorneys, how bad is it really? How much am I gonna regret choosing the nyc lifestyle over the money?

I desperately need a haircut until she’s hopefully back. Any recommendations on what barbershop to try? Specifically, I’m looking for a scissor cut and potentially some layering. Salon recommendations accepted too I guess

Title says it all for the most part. I do a lot of walking and want my sneakers to still look good (and ideally break the bank). I’ve been rocking some 9060s but I’m wondering what other options you guys think are worth it

Title explains most of the story. I am a 30M and single as fuck. I’ve lived in nyc for two years now after living in Philly for 7. My job will not depend on where I sit in any which way, my salary will be identical and so will the work. Most of my family barring my siblings are around Philadelphia whereas two siblings are moving to NYC. I love both cities and am truly at a crossroads deciding because my decision comes with what is essentially a five year commitment to that city. If any single people in their thirties have advice I would greatly appreciate it. I fear the wrong decision here will have shockwaves on my future.

TLDR: I cannot decide between NYC and Philly despite an identical job prospect and pressure to live near family.

Hi all. I’ve been smoking very consistently for almost 12 years now (and very aggressively over the past year) and I am wondering if anyone has experiences with weed making them antisocial. I’m a bit of an introvert but I do like being out and hopefully meeting people I’m interested in.

That being said I feel like my consistent pot use has turned me into a complete coward in social situations. I’m terrified to make the first move I’m slow to react to statements and I’ve even noticed some issues with my pronunciation. Has anyone seen these effects go away after stopping? I think it’s time to shut this door at least for a bit because pot is keeping me stuck in a dastardly loop and I want a fulfilling social/dating life for once. I’m hoping a semi or permanent break will fix my social battery and social habits/vibe. Any advice is appreciated.

Alright so I’m going into my final year of grad school. My roommate and I completely got outbid for our current spot so I gotta move considering my roommate will fuck off home and wait until the market cools down.

The market is obviously fucked but my hands are tied and I’m in a catch 22. My options are essentially two fold, 1) 1 bed or studio in a good/fun neighborhood that gets to nyu easily or 2) move in w my buddy in LIC. I do not understand the appeal of LIC besides good transit but I also don’t wanna sacrifice what is potentially my last year in nyc to a mid neighborhood.

For reference I’m late 20s, single, and not really looking for an apartment that isn’t surrounded by things to do. I also don’t wanna live somewhere it’s hard to convince people to come to. Any comments or suggestions are more than welcome bc my move out is in 20 days.

Wish I was hitting the fanfest but didn’t have the forethought to reserve tickets. Same result with brauhaus. What are the best potential alternatives if I wanna get a little rowdy?

Ducked Fado yesterday because fox 29 was there but rocked with it a lot last WC. Lions looks decent but seems super small. Where are you all watching so far?

Me and my buddy getting an absurd rent hike which is potentially booting us out of Manhattan. Wondering what the best neighborhoods are both vibe and commute wise. I gotta get to the west village and my buddy works in midtown on 5th Ave. also wondering how bad the L gets. appreciate any and all recommendations or advice

Back in the city wondering where to go out and meet people my age. Can’t be frequenting the same spots I did in college and idk how to meet anyone other than a bar bc busy. Importantly looking for people as busy as myself tbh
