I will be bringing three granddaughters for a day trip to New York City, arriving by train to Penn Station. I was thinking we would walk the highline down to the Chelsea/Soho area. I would like to visit three or four thrift shops for clothing with them. We are also going to go to the Tenement museum and Dumbo. Any suggestions for best clothing thrift stores for girls ages 12 to 15? Thanks so much!
Hey neighbors, we’re two longtime friends and residents of the LES who started a Chinese-Jewish pop-up dinner party that blends flavors rooted in the culinary history of the LES. We design each event with great food, relatable storytelling and a touch of humor to spark nostalgia, curiosity and connection around the table. Check us out on instagram @woobergs for more info.
We’re looking for affordable space in the neighborhood to schedule some dinners this summer. A working kitchen and a table that can seat 13-15 would be ideal. We’re very flexible in just about every way and can bring plates/cups etc if needed. We know space is out there, we’re just not sure how to find it. And yes, we’ve been on Peerspace, Giggster, Airbnb, etc. We purposefully keep the dinners under 15 people, so paying $500-$1000 for one night isn’t sustainable. Appreciate any leads! Feel free to DM us here or on Instagram. Thanks!

I've been ordering delivery pretty regularly and lately I've been noticing that even when DoorDash runs "free delivery" promos, I'm still paying $8-12 in service fees on a $20 order. And don't even get me started on the menu price inflation — I ordered from a spot on UberEats and the same dish was $4 more than what it says on the restaurant's actual menu.
Been low-key frustrated about it for a while so started looking for alternatives.
Stumbled across this app called NiBL (https://www.nibl.food) that just launched like two weeks ago in Lower East Side. Honestly wasn't expecting much but it's been surprisingly good. No delivery fees, very low service fees, and they actually charge the real menu prices — not the inflated ones you see on DoorDash and UberEats.
The other thing that got me was they include a free sample drink with every order that actually pairs well with what you ordered. My guess is they work with beverage brands who sponsor it, which is how they keep costs low for us. Whatever the business model is, it's working in my favor.
Only downside is it's LES only for now so it won't work for everyone. But if you're in that area and you order food regularly, the savings add up fast. Reminded me of when Empower came out and disrupted the whole rideshare pricing thing — same energy.
Anyone else been looking for alternatives to the big delivery apps? Curious what people have found.

In need of a local goodwill or a donation shelter I can go donate my clothes.
Winter really took a toll on my mental health this year and some areas of my apartment are out of control...
Does anyone have recommendations for an affordable cleaner/cleaning service to come deep clean some areas for me? Would it be better just to use taskrabbit or something similar? I would love to support someone local to the LES if possible.
Thanks!
Hello :) I moved to the Lower East Side about a year ago and I feel like I still haven’t taken full advantage of the neighborhood. I don’t plan to live in this neighborhood forever and I don’t want to move out in a few years feeling like I didn’t even experience where I lived. I’m looking for recommendations on “institutions” which can include more touristy spots, plus “hole-in-the-wall” places. I want to get the full experience while I’m here, however long that may be.
Looking for restaurants, bars, shops, museums, monuments, bakeries, parks, art, places I should be a regular at?? Anything you can think of old or new that someone living here should experience at least once.
Thanks!!!

why so many junkies on these blocks?
i know the history of the area (been here 30 yrs) but it seemed to chill out for a while & since the pandemic it’s been nutz.
also I suspect many of the convenience stores selling organic “weed” (not legal) are actually selling crack - little plastic containers are everywhere.
Has a shelter or recovery center been put nearby? we have the same regulars spare-changing for the past 4/5 years - they are going somewhere at night.
