The River Inn, Hilton One Washington Circle, or somewhere else?

Hi guys! Coming back into town for a girl's weekend. We really only want to spend a couple hundred per room and have narrowed it down to the River Inn in Georgetown, the Washington Circle Hilton location, or else somewhere else? We'd like to be around DuPont, Logan, or Georgetown I think. Thanks!

ISO: Holiday Sublet

ISO: Holiday sublet

Hello!

I'm looking for an approx Dec 24th to approx Jan 3rd sublet in honestly any of the boroughs! Former NYer stuck in the Midwest for a job. If in staten island, I would need to be near the ferry bc I don't drive, and I'm really unfamiliar with the Bronx so I guess a preference against that. Happy to pet sit if that were to come up too!

28F, great credit and landlord reference, can meet in person the weekend of Halloween.

I would not be around much - truly just searching for a place to sleep without having to pay astronomical hotel prices!

My budget is flexible, ideally under 2k for the week. Thanks!

Seeking: tiramisu, cannoli, and creme brulee on the dessert menus, where would you recommend?

Can totally be 3 separate spots! I'm a big fan of late lunch/early dinner timeframe. Ideally blue line between like Logan and West loop with some wiggle room, Lincoln park could work too

St Joseph Cemetery

Hi, I need to visit my friend who is buried at St Joseph Cemetery. It says it's closed Sundays and closes at noon Saturday. It's quite a trek for me so would someone be able to confirm - do they lock it up after noon? Are there instances when it should be open but is locked up? Thank you.

9/11 "events" or ideas of how to honor it this year?

My friend just recently passed from the health repercussions of serving the city that day. I'm devastated. To be completely honest, it's always been just another day for me. I would text him sometimes on the day, or the other way around, but that was about it.

I might go to our favorite spot but it's way down in Brooklyn. Any other thoughts, suggestions, or knowledge of "events" (weird word to use for such a sad thing imo) happening please?

Edit: and if anyone has a gym suggestion for a very cheap day pass, please lmk. I think I will do the 110 flights this year.

What are some good baklava related desserts in the city?

I had a baklava froyo the other day and it was so so good. I'm thinking milkshakes, ice cream, maybe a latte. Baklava brownie?

My family has been adding my expenses to my taxes. Why? And has anyone gone through this?

I have never experienced this before. They do a mixture of zelle, venmo, and cash for reimbursements, like if I get the kids a treat or we go to a museum or something. My taxes have never added up. I asked the mom and she said they add my reimbursements, quote end quote because her husband says it's a legal requirement.

The job is good. But why is this happening? What is the consequences? Is it hurting me somehow and benefitting them??

Edit: I think I will confront briefly via text to ensure there's a paper trail. It appears that they may be writing off all of the expenses which might be fraud. I will just do a brief, "Hi! Double checking my reimbursements aren't being added to my w2, yes? :)"

Ideally Lincoln park

Selling a home in the 3-4 mil range - any experiences?

Only looking for serious responses please. How long would you expect a house like this to sit on the market? Priced fairly imo, closer to 4 than 3, north shore, large home with tennis court and pool. How long would we have to go to get rid of it?

Sheepshead Bay in your 20s?

I really want to get my cost of living down. I was approved for a 2 bdrm no washer dryer no amenities really at $2600. I'm 28. Thoughts I guess? Do I just take the plunge and sign the lease? It's like a 7 min walk to the Q train.
