Hi everyone! I am constantly on the hunt for a good iced matcha latte in the UES, if anyone has any recommendations let me know! 🍵

Here’s what I’ve already tried:
The fancy kook
Artara coffee
Dear coffee
Madam bonte
Blank street

Does anyone else feel rumbles underneath their apartment?? It’s been happening randomly for months but it’s so loud right now my furniture is vibrating??

What’s the deal with all restaurants opening at 11 or 11:30 on the weekend?

There is no nice sit down brunch that isn’t “diner” style. I wish there was a cafe Luxembourg type place on the east side. Opens at 8:30am during the week at 10am on weekends.

Anyone else feel there is a gap for good weekend breakfast options?

You know what this is about. Prayers to Alalise and her family. She would want that.

Hi! Me and my boyfriend are relocating to the city for work. We are both in our early 20s and are coming from the suburban South, so the city will definitely be an exciting and humbling change. We aren't able to in-person tour so we are relying a lot on Facetime calls and virtual tours. We're looking at a place in the UWS on 91st between West End and Broadway or a place in the UES, on 90th between 1st and 2nd.

One of our work locations is more up north, kinda near Yonkers. We were hoping to take the train up north then walk from there, but we are also considering bringing a car and if we do, we probably will pay the cost of garage parking, which is ok. Please feel free to tell me we are in over our heads, as public transport is very very new to us!

I have been doing a lot of research on like every UWS and UES reddit post ever and a lot of people say the sense of community is better on the UWS. That's important to us, as well as safety because I know we will appear as Southern bumpkins who are clearly transplants.

We are very excited for the move, so any advice or insights are welcomed, thanks!

I've heard from shop owners that business is really slow this spring. Are New Yorkers cutting back on purchases in general? Do we have a sense of why and of how long any buying patterns might last? It seems like this relates to the lower consumer confidence in surveys.

Hi neighbors! I'm thinking about getting an Equinox membership and was hoping to get feedback on whether or not it's worth it. Since their membership policies are pretty opaque online, I was specifically wondering:

1.) Does a normal membership allow you to visit different locations in the same neighborhood? For example, I don't need to be able to get into every Equinox in the city, but I'm pretty much equidistant to the 92nd St and 85th St locations so it would be nice to be able to use both of them.

2.) Any thoughts on the above locations (92nd St and 85th St)? Is one better than the other?

3.) Does the cost of membership include any classes, or are those a separate cost?

4.) Perhaps niche, but can anyone compare their experience at 92NY to Equinox? I belong to the Y now and I've never been a fancy gym girl...is Equinox really worth it?

TIA for your thoughts!

anyone have any recs for MUST try items at butterfield market?? i've tried their guava cream cheese pastry and want to come back and try other items too

My best friend just had a newborn and they’ve been having a rough time getting the baby to sleep consistently. Figured I’d ask here since I know a lot of people have been through it. Any tips, routines, or tricks that genuinely helped?
