A crown on my molar fell off and my dentist just told me it will be $450 to reattach it. (I spoke to them on the phone and explained that it fell out and I popped it back on but need to have it reattached with glue).
This seems very high?
Hey Neighbors, now that the 72nd Trader Joe’s is closed for renovations, where is everyone shopping for semi-affordable groceries? (besides the 96th TJ’s) I’m considering splitting a Costco membership with a friend.
just moved here from Chicago about 9 months ago and honestly finding a dentist has been at the bottom of my list until now. my last checkup was back home and I'm overdue at this point.
the problem is every place I look up on the UWS either has mixed reviews or looks like one of those fancy boutique offices that's going to charge me double for the same cleaning. I genuinely can't tell who's legit and who's just good at marketing.
not looking for anything special, just a honest dentist who won't treat a routine visit like an opportunity. someone the neighborhood actually stands behind.
does anyone on the UWS have a dentist they've been going to for a while and actually trust? 🙏
I am local here to uws and have tried the rotisserie chicken from zabars, whole foods, and also recently ventured to east side and got one from schaller & weber. All were ok in different ways but i wouldnt rate any of them as great. Maybe the schaller and weber was approaching great with nice tender meat but it had too much of a barbecue flavor not a zesty twang that im looking for. I was considering getting one from the malecon restaurant but realized im acting here taking random shots. I need some local insight, some gossip, who has the best the absolute best rotisserie chicken around here. Thank you!
I've always wanted to walk every block of the city but knew the overhead of tracking those walks would be a pain, so over the last couple months I made an app that checks off each block once you've walked it. Some friends wanted to try it so I just uploaded it to the App Store.
It works for all 5 boroughs and you can turn on passive tracking so that your blocks are tracked without opening the app. There's also a leaderboard so you can see how your stats compare to other New Yorkers.
The app is called WalkNYC and it's completely free. It's only on iOS right now but I'm looking into porting it to Android. Would love any feedback you all have!

I'm really happy to read about this. A new record store is opening on Amsterdam bet 82 & 83 called Sweet Peanut.
Anyone else having issues with their spectrum connection? Located in the mid 80s near the Crunch. My wifi keeps going in and out, but won’t hold consistently for more than 10 minutes at a time.
Hi, would you be able to recommend someone who can thoroughly clean an apartment on the UWS every 2 to three weeks? My apartment is small (1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, living room). Looking for someone who pays attention to details. Prefer a woman (as I'm a woman who lives by herself and would feel more comfortable with a woman in my living space).
Expecting great views of Venus & the Moon! We are bringing the telescope over to Riverside Park.
We'll be on Pier i from 7:45 - 9:00pm (pending cloud coverage).
Totally free!
Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has gone to the Crunch Fitness on 83rd st or/and the YMCA on 60 smtg street, I am not sure which gym membership to get the next 4 months while living in the uws. Please let me know if you have any advice or info in terms of either gym (equipment quality, crowd, if there are waiting lines and anything else). THANKS A LOT!!!
The car had 10 violations including some outstanding fees. Please drive safely in Manhattan. If it tests your patience then please don't drive on city streets. Too many accidents caused by rage or inebriation or both. The cameras will catch up to you eventually.
I spoke to Riverside Vet today and they confirmed Bosco did not make it. The family will be picking up his ashes this week so we left our number in case they want more information to file a police report or press charges.
My partner also gave one of the family members (not the owner) a detailed description of what happened at the scene.
Sending love to the family and holding my fur baby tight.
I emailed both @ilovetheupperwestside and West side rag. @ilovetheupperwestside believes the situation happened but wants an ofticial report before reporting anything. The West Side Rag has not gotten back to me.
We are going to keep pressing the MTA to find this guy and keep him off the streets for everyone's safety. These vehicles are weapons in the wrong hands, and the city doesn’t need drivers who don't value life or have patience. Safety should be every bus driver's number 1 priority, and should an accident happen, compassion must follow.
There've been a couple of posts about You've Got Mail recently, so I want to give kudos to the late director, Nora Ephron. Today would have been her 83rd birthday.
Hi, my family (me, my wife and our two kids) are looking at apartments on West End Avenue. Based on a lot of the feedback from this board and our time in the area, it seems like West End is ideal since there are no buses, you're only 1 block away from 1/2/3 (better for us than the CPW subways) and Riverside Park might be the most underrated asset in the entire city. We also like that the lack of retail on the block means it's quiet and I don't think we've seen a single homeless person on the block. There's not a ton of inventory, but we've seen some stuff we like in the mid 80s (83th-85th) and also in the low 90s (92nd-94th). We're a little torn on location because the 90s has better access to the express train, but my wife thinks the 80s on West End is the perfect location cause Broadway is better there and Amsterdam has a lot more stuff closer. I don't really see much of a difference in these two locations because it's all a relativelyt short walk anyway, but not sure if I'm missing something in evaluating the two locations. Thanks!
Thinking about moving to UWS soon and trying to get a more realistic picture from people who’ve actually lived there because listings obviously only show the best parts. I know rent is expensive and competition is rough but I’m more curious about what the experience is like long term, stuff like yearly rent increases, dealing with management companies and whether the newer luxury buildings are actually worth it over older rent controlled places. Been trying to research buildings and landlords more carefully this time using streetsmart and other public info because I learned the hard way that the apartment itself rarely tells the full story.
Any advice, red flags or things you wish you knew beforehand would help a lot.
Each day, there are a bunch of men outside of my building selling drugs in the open — regardless of if children, pets, or any bystanders are nearby.
I know that this is NYC and that these things happen with relative impunity, but how have you dealt with these sorts of things before? I’ve contacted the local precinct but am doubtful that it will lead to any sort of meaningful or lasting change.
I know it's just a movie, but I was wondering if there are specific times/spots where you really feel like the uws is that magical? or if it was in the past? thanks :) <3
After a decade plus of living on the uws, I’m considering joining the wave of friends who’ve moved to Brooklyn 😔 it’s kind of silly since it’s not like I’m leaving town, but any bucket list items that a long time resident might have missed out on up here?
