Energy throttling
Anyone else experiencing low voltage? I didn’t get a notice from Con Ed, but my AC, oven, lights, everything is underpowered.

Cat calls
Does anyone else deal with this in a regular basis here? Most people are cool. I wanted to pepper spray this guy but didn’t want to spray his dog as well. He is starting to scare me. I am planning to ask his friends to speak with him and report him regardless.
What has worked for you?

Anyone know where I can get a small amount of dry ice? (1 lb or less)
I need ~0.25 lbs of dry ice. The smallest amount I've found for sale is 5 lbs for $10. I don't want to waste 95% of my money, as I will need to get 0.25 lbs more than once (but not frequently enough to purchase a larger amount of dry ice and store it).

Bodega cats of the Heights
I see a couple around. Figured it'd be fun to post a couple. There's a Scottish fold nearby I'll try to get next week.

Anyone bidding for 640 Riverside Drive in Manhattan. Read carefully this warning, and if you can, report it to the Manhattan District Attorney.
To whom it may concern,
My name is Theo Chino, and I live at 640 Riverside Drive, and I was born in this building.
Three months ago, our sister building was put on the market by this nonprofit called UHAB, and I posted this question here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/nychousinglottery/comments/1t6y4n6/anyone_bidding_for_park_towers_hdfc_or_644
Today, I learned on AM New York that our building's empty units are for sale, and questions about the finances are still unresolved.
As you can see, smaller apartments are more expensive than those at 644 for a shittier construction.
Do you want me as a neighbor? https://youtu.be/8_zjO4oMgwg?t=832
f you want to see all the documents, go to https://640rsd.new-york.ny.us, and if something smells fishy, call the Manhattan DA to report this ad. If the internet can flood the DA with a link to this story, that would be beautiful: danyhousing@dany.nyc.gov
The nonprofit corporation benefiting from this is UHAB, Inc.

Here is the ad you will see. These are lemons, and you will not be protected by the RGB when the time to pay for the fix rolls around.
We have asked for help for a long time, as shown in this Resolution from Community Board #9. The work is subpar, and the rent will go up more than the Rent Guidelines Board will say as shit will break.

Looking to meet more neighbors.
Hey 😊 I’m looking to meet more people who actually live in Washington Heights and get to know the neighborhood a little better socially/culturally. Despite living here for over a year after moving from the Bronx I haven’t had much time to explore much.
I’d like to connect with people who know all the hidden gems up here especially great restaurants, lowkey lounges, cocktail bars and places with a good vibe that I probably wouldn’t stumble across on my own.
I’m definitely more of a homebody than a party-every-weekend type of person so I’m especially interested in chill spots where you can actually sit, talk, eat/drink and enjoy the atmosphere.
If you’re in the Heights and looking to meet more local people too feel free to comment or DM me. And even if you’re not looking to hang out drop your favorite neighborhood hidden gems below. I’m trying to see what I’ve been missing out on.

Quenepas/Spanish Limes
Hay alguien que vende todavía algunas quenepas? Ya sé que son limitas tan tarde en la temporada pero si algunas permanecen por casualidad estaría la más agradecida en serio
Anyone know of people still selling quenepas (the fruit)? I know they’re limited so late in the season, but if there are still some I would be so grateful

Shout out to a great small local business.
I just want to shout out my neighbor who makes dog collars and leashes here in Harlem. She is incredibly talented and her items are top quality. She makes everything custom and you can choose the fabric and design of your items. I absolutely love my set that she made for my dog. I can’t get over how well they are made. You can find her on instagram under harlemhoundsnyc.

Do you know of a good tailor
I have a new suit (jacket and pants). Do you know of a good tailor who can do a great job shortening sleeves and pant legs? My local dry cleaner can be iffy. Sometimes good and sometimes awful. Thanks all!
