Hi there. I just moved to Brooklyn from Kansas a few months ago and I live in this area called Borough Park on Fort Hamilton Parkway. I just made some new friends while living here, but they all live in Williamsburg. They asked me to come visit them so I found out that there's a bus called the B110 so I wait for it. It then arrives so I hop inside it. Everyone there is dressed formally. Everyone gave me looks and they told me to sit in the back. I noticed the same thing going back to my apartment. I'm like literally so embarrassed right now. Is this typical of buses in NYC?

I’m a first generation New Yorker, also known as a transplant. I’ve been here for 3 years and have nothing to show for it except for a modest increase in my bank account. I only focused on going to work and going to loud bars on weekends to stand awkwardly by myself and act chill.

Because I never got out of my comfort zone or got involved in the local community, I can only feel better about myself by knowing how to navigate Manhattan marginally better than the average tourist. Still working on the other boroughs.

Where can I condescendingly teach people about how to use the Manhattan grid? I really wanna blow their minds with elementary school math about north and west being bigger numbers. I’ve thought about the Times Square Olive Garden or JFK, but competition is pretty stiff there. Maybe the Staten Island Ferry is a good choice since the people there must love Manhattan. Any other good suggestions?

So I think there was a post yesterday about someone selling Frozen Tetas in Bushwick - they’ve since deleted their Reddit account + all comments + the Venmo account I donated to. I am just wondering if anyone else is seeing the same…I reported to Venmo as a scam in case they try and resurface. What a bummer & such a terrible use of sympathy.

In case they come back, wanted to post here as a warning!

I spend a lot of time walking around New York City. I live here, k-town, it isn't for fun. Somewhat fatigued pedestrian these days. Sidewalks are super simple regardless of neighborhood. You walk forward, keep pace with traffic, and if you need to stop you move to the side. Somehow tourists turn this into chaos. I swear some people shut their brains off as soon as they get to Manhattan and turn into main characters with zero situational awareness. I'm a bit over it.

The thing that annoys me the most are the people incapable of walking with the flow of traffic, randomly stopping in the middle of the sidewalk, randomly changing directions without looking, walking four abreast at 0.6 mph, etc...

I was walking through Midtown. It was packed as always. I was late, moving fast. Tourist was walking in front of me with an enormous Times Square shopping bag and a phone held horizontally, also sort of with the flow of traffic.

He suddenly stopped dead in the middle of the sidewalk and pivoted 90 degrees because, apparently, he had just noticed the Empire State Building.

Had maybe half a second to react or slow down, and I made the decision not to.

I'm not small.

He bounced.

Phone went one direction. Shopping bag went another. I kept walking and made the light.

Felt good in the moment.

I feel bad about it now.

Thanks for reading.

High school life in nyc how it compares to gossip girl etc

Hi all can I ask people who went to high school in nyc what was your experience like and how did it compare to gossip girl. We're their bullies and if so what did they do. We're you allowed phones in class or at school. Did girls wear high heels. Did anyone wear designer or what die everyone wear. What were partys like and was everyone drinking underage
Thanks so much

was in the lower east side when a creep on an ebike pulls up super close to me and spits on the side of my face. i was in shock and couldn’t take a photo in time because he made an immediate u-turn and biked away super fast (coward lol). it was around the grand street station - grand and allen street. legally is there anything i can do? i wish i could’ve gotten a photo of him.

I've seen this prompt answer like 50 times and don't understand why it's so popular. Is it taking about the G train? If so, why is the G train only ever mentioned. I never see anyone say let's split the C train.

What the fuck.
