So I was going through a pile of mail and found a letter from April telling me I failed to return 3 jury questionnaires and was supposed to appear for a hearing in April. It says I can be imprisoned or fined up to a $1000. What do I do? I know this is on me, I know I was stupid not to fill out those questionnaires or read this sooner. But now I’m panicking and I want to make it right.
By now, some of you may or may not be aware of a food establishment known as Wonder. I only became aware of them because I sometimes work near Parkchester. The one in Fordham opened very recently, and my wife and I were intrigued by the thought of ordering from a single location but ordering drastically different things. I had a sinking feeling in my gut whenever I thought about this place for some reason, but I saw a good coupon so I figured even if it was trash, they wouldn't get too much of my money.
I'm creating this post to hopefully reach as many people in or near Parkchester or Fordham as possible: Wonder is a soulless kitchen that puts out mass-produced crap. I would venture to guess that every single thing in the entire food hall has been refrigerated or frozen and reheated. Nothing is made with love, it's all overpriced, and I would be very surprised to find out that there is even one truly standout dish in the whole place.
Something that always bugged me a little is the use of the term "Jack of all trades." Meant to imply someone that can do it all. What gets lost in translation is that the phrase actually goes, "Jack of all trades, and master of none." That's exactly what Wonder is. I can't recommend highly enough that you don't even try the place. No coupon makes it worth it. The food is mediocre, the prices are insane, and the love is just not there.
Traveled out of bushwick to summer house upstate and drove by and very impressed
I browsed through the server to find out that even one of the 7's R188 fleet is now a hot car.

Last night around 10 pm the water was shut off. I want to know if anyone else has the same problem?
Glad to announce our new location in My Vernon will be opening this July
Folks really are not the brightest I get it use it in the afternoon no problem but after 10pm . Just wasting water . What happens if there’s a fire in the block now ? Smh
Hey, everyone
No bs.. heatwave's coming and everyone's gonna be pretty miserable pretty soon..
Know your surroundings for things like pools, splash pads, fountains, anywhere to cool off.
Just share fore everyone's awareness. If you prefer to do regular Google searches, NYC Parks webs or other means that's fine.
But here some consolidation for you. All the city data in one place. No jumping around just pull it up and see what's near you.
So,
Obviously if you don't need it, don't use it. But if you're gonna be out there the next few days, might as well not waste time hunting. you're not losing anything by trying it out.
Stay hydrated, stay cool. <- Check out if you want.
Hi! Experiencing the summertime faucet trickle of water because every hydrant on every block seems to be going at full blast with no sprinkler caps and no one even in the water. Is this the case with anyone else? Does calling 311 actually help?
As stated in the caption, is there any public library that is open today near Allerton Avenue?
I (25F) have a job interview soon in the Longwood area. It it a few blocks away from the 41st precinct, at IS 217.
I have gone to NYC for interviews before, but the last time I was in the Bronx kinda rattled me. Someone who wasn’t in their right mind followed me for a block, shouting stuff at me, until I pretended to go to a bus stop full of people. I didn’t make it to my interview with that other place that day.
I’m from Long Island and have been to NYC a million times. I carry pepper spray and a little doodad (courtesy of my father) that can make a deafening noise if I press a button.
I try to do research in advance before I go to interviews, and I understand that reality is usually more nuanced than what the internet will say about a community. However, what I have seen is that Longwood has some of the highest rates of violent crime in the entire city.
My interview is at 9am. Would it be recommended for me to take the LIRR and the 2 subway, or should I just drive it if I’m comfortable driving in the city? Since it’s probably relevant, I am a squishy little white woman who will probably stand out no matter how hard I try, because I have OCD and anxiety disorder, so I’m naturally rather anxious-looking.
Any advice would be recommended. Thank you! Sorry if this came across as overly cautious, like I said, last time kinda rattled me. Hopefully it didn’t sound too pathetic, lol
A couple climbed to the top of the Empire State Building on July 1st, 2026, at noon in NYC to protest for world peace and got engaged. They are now in police custody.
I pulled NYC's open data for June — 311 calls, arrests in the last 30 days, active rat spots, and closures — for a spot in the middle of 12 Bronx ZIPs. Then I turned it into one score out of 100. Higher = calmer block. Same math for every ZIP so it's a fair fight.
Here's how they landed, worst to best:
Score -> 77 Mott Haven (10454) -> $27k
Score ->77 Melrose / Concourse (10451) -> $48k
Score ->78 Fordham / Belmont (10458) -> $39k
Score ->79 Morrisania (10456) -> $27k
Score ->79 Tremont (10457) -> $35k
Score ->79 Norwood / Bedford Pk(10467) $42k
Score ->81 Hunts Point (10474) -> $47k
Score ->82 Baychester (10469) -> $62k
Score ->83 Parkchester (10462) -> $59k
Score ->83 Riverdale / Fieldston(10471) -> $119k
Score ->84 Throggs Neck (10465) -> $84k
Score ->88 Co-op City (10475) -> $46k
Okay so here's what jumped out at me.
Co-op City won. Not Riverdale. A place where people make about 46k a year came out calmer than the $119k neighborhood up on the hill.
Why? Co-op City is built like its own little island — > no traffic cutting through, one big block, so almost nobody's calling 311. Riverdale's got the money, but it's also got rats. 25 active rat spots near the center. Leafy and quiet still means rats gotta eat.
Tremont had the most arrests by a mile — > 174 in a month within about three blocks. That's the busiest corner for cops in the whole list. Mott Haven and Morrisania sit at the bottom, most 311 calls, lowest income.
And Hunts Point surprised me. It's got a rough name, but right around the center it's mostly the food market and warehouses, not homes, so fewer people calling stuff in. Its number's better than you'd guess.
The "so what".
In the Bronx income barely correlate with livability score. The calmest block here isn't the richest one, t's the one built to keep the chaos out. Money helps a little.
How your block is built helps more.
Anyway, you can run your own block on NYC Intel. Drop your score below if it surprised you, I'm curious how close the ZIP number is to your actual corner.
