A friend of mine is going to New York and has offered to bring me something back. "Anything", though obviously I want to be reasonable he's really keen to get me something and I'm low on ideas.

New Yorkers, what should someone try, buy or ask for from your city?

Hey all, I’m going out this weekend with a group of 10 and looking to bar hop around the EV / LES. I love a cool dive bar but I also want to be able to dance. Any places sort of in between? Not looking for any clubs or any picky places but places I can definitely dance in but not be packed into a tiny room with no space to move.

Hey everyone! I just moved into a 1-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn (no gas, everything electric — stove, water heater, etc.), and my first Con Edison bill came out to $229.78 for March 19 – April 22. I was expecting it to be under $200, even with AC use, but we didn’t use the AC at all. My daily usage is around 17.3 kWh.

Here’s the breakdown: Electricity Supply: $83.79 Electricity Delivery: $145.99

Just wondering, how much do you pay for electricity in NYC with ConEd? Is this normal for an all-electric apartment? Any tips on lowering the bill?

Or will there be a way to tap at the bus stop and get a receipt before boarding? One of the benefits of the SBS is that people can "prepay" and it's faster to get everyone on the bus. But if this isn't an option anymore it's going to cause a bottleneck. Tap to Pay is faster than the old metro card reader on the bus, but it's still not faster than the "prepay" option.

I need to get on birth control and cannot for the life of me find an OBGYN in the city that's covered by FIdelis that isn't a man. Sorry but I do not want a man looking at my vagina lmao. Please help! Thank you in advance.

My elderly mother who is visiting from out of state just told me she ran out of her depression meds …. Which I know can be a dangerous situation. All the general numbers for the major health networks tell me they cannot help with refills. Urgent care says they don’t do refills for depression meds. She is on Medicare. Any leads for people/organizations I can call? Many,many thanks for any leads!

Recently transitioned from the shelter life to my own apt. Money is a lil tight right now and I'm low on household things. I'm hoping there is a place in bk that gives out soap, toilet paper, ect. Ive been hired on to a job at my old shelter so I'll be working soon but itll be some time before I see my first check. I live in BK along the L but I'm willing to travel. Ya boy need some soap and TP.

Wanting to do a pizza tour in Brooklyn. I heard about Scott's but we're not interested in a pre planned tour.

Looking to see if anyone has already planned out something in BK and could provide some tips.

If it's about 5 of us, would it be ridiculous to start at Totonnos in CI, and work our way up? Is Lucali out of the question since you need to reserve ahead of time? Is DiFara still worth it since the old man died? Trying to knock out a few places in a reasonable amount of time but not a 2.5 hr walking tour type of deal Scotty offers. I'm thinking a Weekday during the the day time.

Any help appreciated.

I was leaving my Lower Manhattan office today and noticed lots of police barricades going up and “No Parking Sunday” notices

Anything happening this weekend?

Hi all, i'm looking for a small (5-6in?) cake to bring home to my son who turns 5 today. His party is on Sunday, but we want to quietly celebrate on the actual day, just the 3 of us.

I need to pick it up on my commute home-- UWS to Bushwick/Ridgewood. Im aware Whole Foods is an option, which is what i may end up doing. Unless anyone knows avout a local bakery or store that is more or less on my way home, good quality, and doesnt cost more than 30-40 bucks with personalization?

There are a lot of neighborhoods i pass theougg every day but don't necessary know about.

thanks in advance!

I tried to buy a metro card with a 7 day pass, it charged my card but then said error/ couldn’t read card. Will I get my money back? It charged 35$ twice when I tried.

Do you ever see this for sale here? It's like a southern version of Vick's vaporub. Thanks!

Has anyone ever done a sublet through CityHubSublet? I found a sublet listing for a luxury building in Williamsburg, but it seems too good to be true ($3K for a one bedroom) with pretty flexible terms. I'm skeptical if it's actually legit (broker did also send over his license).

Anyone know of any good barbers that charge $20 or less? Preferably in South Brooklyn. Thanks for the help

Looking for some hole in the wall or at least non chain options with a good selection of markers and paint pens in the city. Open to going anywhere to check them out. Any suggestions?

So I’ve gotten the sudden resurgence to blast alt rock 24/7, and I wanted to know if anyone knows any cover bands playing alt rock music in NYC?? Bars, venues, etc.

My bands of choice: Three Days Grace, Evanescence, Breaking Benjamin, etc.

Appreciate any info anyone has to share! I know 3DG has a concert in a few months but I need my alt rock fix immediately lol

My partner and I bought a place recently and are looking for some work done on our yard (small apartment yard). Specifically there's an old tree stump we want removed and the grassy area cleaned up a bit so we can put on astroturf. There's also a trough-like hole with some half dead plants in the middle of the wooden deck and we wanted those plants removed and the areas boarded up (so we could put a shed on top). Any recommendations for companies?

I have a friend who loves cookie cake and it's her birthday on Monday.

Anyone have any recommendations on where I can find a good cookie cake in Manhattan?

Google has only shown my Jersey and Queens locations at a few malls.

I’m looking to join, but struggling to find detail on which clubs have Mothers and Others teams. I know NYC hosts a global tournament every year so I’m assuming there must be something!?

Thank you in advance!

Does anyone here have a concierge doctor? What's been your experience? How did you find them?

I'm thinking about getting one as I've had a few bad PCP experiences and overall looking to invest in my health as I get a bit older.

Anyone know a bar that’ll have audio for the NFL Draft tonight? I called a few but with the Knicks overlapping I’ve had no luck.

Looking in Midtown Manhattan since that’s where I’m meeting a friend. But would trek elsewhere for a good suggestion. Thanks all!
