Does anyone know if this is really happening? Heard they signed a lease in the old Duane Reade but don't know if the rumors are true

Specifically I’m looking for a spot that doesn’t break the bank (like ideally $100 per month give or take) that feels like a safe environment for women. (I’m sure they’re all safe but the vibe is important to me) I’m not against workout studios (I use to work at an orangetheory) but those tend to be a lot pricier and I like the idea of getting to decide what I want to do each day, though I haven’t really been in that sort of gym environment before so maybe it’s a gym with classes to get a mix of both? I’m majorly a runner who keeps getting injured so I think it’s about time I start prioritizing strength training…

Really just looking for a nice clean spot that feels non-judgy and isn’t $300 a month but is also around the mid-80s so it’s close enough that I’ll actually get myself to go!

Any recommendations on where to watch the game tonight with fans?

Does anyone know what idiot keeps doing this every year? Incredibly dangerous.

Just came from watching the fireworks and saw this woman INTENTIONALLY lift her dog that was going on the curb to pee into the plants- 83rd between 1st and York, opposite street from the shoe repair shop. And before you tell me, "confront her," that doesn't work. They start screaming or just ignore you (I've tried).

Why do you all do it? Do you get a kick out of destroying greenery? Wish I could have gotten a picture- but it was too dark. Crazy-looking, skinny, young, probably high on something, kind of wild dark hair, smug face. Tanned. Next time, I am absolutely taking a pic and posting it everywhere.

Praying for a citywide dog ban someday. Cats only.

My birthday is tomorrow and my plan was to do a casual picnic in Central Park with friends to celebrate. However, the weather for tomorrow seems to be changing by the hour (rain? sun? clouds? thunderstorms?) so I want to have a backup plan to pivot to if it's still looking iffy tomorrow morning.

Any ideas for an afternoon indoor activity for 5-6 mid-30s folks other than going to a bar/for a meal? I live on the UES but friends are coming from all over the city/NJ. I'm considering games at Hex and Co but would love to hear some other low-cost ideas! Thanks.

Hi all, new to this area but I have access to decent rooftop basically behind asphalt green- I wanted to know if the fireworks will be visible from this far uptown?

I understand they’re actually happening much lower on the east river but are people in Carl Shulz able to see them?

Thanks

Maybe the clock will get fixed at John Jay pool?

(I am kidding - sort of - went yesterday for the 1st time this summer, and the beautiful clock on the bath house is *still* broken after many years)

This is good news and happy to see it.

Does anyone know if UES thrift between 88 and 87 is a traditional donation based thrift store or if they do consignment/curate?

I saw a cute jacket in the window and went back to check the price and it was $520! Sheesh!

Constantly struggling to find decent chicken for pick up or delivery. Have tried Chirping/ Dallas BBQ/ Texas BBQ
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

It looks like it’s under construction, so hoping it won’t be vacant for long

I feel like up until a couple of months ago when I'd hear a helicopter go by and I decided to check flightradar 24 it'd be going by at around 2,000 ft. But in the last couple of months I've noticed the helicopters have been a lot louder, like you can feel the thumping even through good windows, and it seems like it's because they're flying at more like 1,000 ft, sometimes even lower than that. This morning there was even one at 725 ft, and I've been seeing small airplanes also buzzing us below 1000 ft recently too.

I suspect that I an getting engaged soon... I want to get a perfect powder french manicure. Any recommendations? Preferably in the 80s or 90s. TIA!

Would love some feedback on this block! I looked at an apartment on this block, facing the street closer to Lex. I currently live further east in the 70s, and face the back of the building. I am nervous about street noise, especially with the fire station one block away. Would love to hear anyone’s thoughts!
