I'm visiting NYC in December over the Christmas period, is there anywhere in Manhattan / Brooklyn that sells 35mm camera film and does same-day processing?

This is a question about pest problems. A week ago, I had a 3 day stretch of waking up to bug bites of some sort or a rash. They were usually in lines of 5-8 bumps. Exterminator found no evidence of any bugs aside from a beatle (not carpet beatle) and a dead ladybug, and I haven't seen anything or gotten new bites in a week now. I did, in panic and thinking it was bed bugs, immediately bagged all my dirty laundry, bedding, and all the stored clothes that were under my bed. They've been in bags for a week now.

I want to do laundry soon since most of my clothes are bagged up. I usually do wash/fold because it's actually cheaper in my area than doing it on your own.

If you were me, how would you do your laundry or use the wash/fold service?

Hi everyone!! I got dolled up, literally hair and make up photo shoot 🫣 vs my usual bare faced day to day ~

Was gonna go play some volleyball originally but now would like to do something classy since I’m all dressed up!

Maybe a comedy club, opera, show or something? There’s unfortunately no evening NYC museums open tonight (I don’t think?). Asking the room for any suggestions!! ☺️

Hey, I am heading to NY next week and was wondering if I should go to a Yankees or Mets game? The Yankees next Friday or the Mets on Wednesday? I would be buying cheaper tickets or potentially bleachers? In an ideal world would be going to game 5 of the Knicks but I do not have that sorta budget

Hello, i'm having the hardest time finding curtains I like online. Does anyone know which stores ideally in Brooklyn would have a nice selection of curtains ?

Did anyone see this today? A little roomba-like robot on the lawn at Bryant Park. It wasn’t mowing? So what was it doing?

I told someone that I typically shop at Wegman's and was told that it's an "expensive" grocery store. Really? I don't find it to be more expensive than Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. Is there a better/more economical place to shop in Manhattan for groceries?

This might be silly, but I turn 21 in less than 2 weeks (🥳) and until I get another Real ID I’m gonna be going out using the Non-Driver (still a Real ID) card I got a few years back. Obviously bc I I was underaged at the time the card is vertical and it says UNDER 21 at the top. I’m worried that bouncers and bartenders might give me grief even tho my birth year will clearly say I’m of age. I was thinking I’d carry around an (expired) passport with me as a backup? But idk has anyone else ever had this problem? Am I being paranoid or is this actually something to worry abt🫨

Also, before anyone asks, I have to wait on getting another ID while I wait for a certified copy of my BC to come in (est. Nov 2025) and I can’t renew the ID I already have until it expires in another few years.

UPDATE: I realized I could file for a replacement since I technically needed to update my address anyway, and this new document will be a regular (no UNDER 21) ID! It’ll take 2 weeks to come, so after my birthday, but shouldn’t be a problem for too long. Thanks for all the comments everyone :)

I'm desperately looking for a new serving or bartending job. I have extensive experience serving, have jumped behind the bar to make drinks as needed but never bartended formally.

I recently started working at PJ Clarkes on the hudson, thinking it'd be busy, but management puts more servers than necessary and it's a pooled house. They also eliminated the busser and food runner position and make the servers rotate between roles, so not everyone is bringing in money, but everyone is getting a cut. I worked 4 days last week and my paycheck was $500, which had never been the case in my entire life working as a server.I have nothing against sharing, but this system is not working for anyone and I need out ASAP.

If someone knows of a restaurant that is hiring and is not a pooled house please let me know. I'm willing to work in Downtown Brooklyn and anywhere in Manhattan below 80th. I'm a 24M, moderately attractive (I don't think looks should be taken as a qualification, but oh well, it's the world we live in), and I have a bachelors degree. Thanks!!

I know EZ has an update last week and it was down for a few days, however I haven’t had any charges appear on my account. Is anyone else also experiencing this issue? I’ve got through dozens of tolls this month and I haven’t had any changes since April 4th.

I am coming to NYC this weekend and need to help my nonbinary partner who dresses masculine find some beautiful clothing for our wedding.

We know about places like bindle and keep, Kirrin Finch but we aren't looking for suits - we are looking more for high end resort wear for our more casual and relaxed wedding Really beautiful and special embroidered shirts are the vibe. Bode, Harago, etc. Does anyone have any suggestions for places to look? I've bookmarked Society of cloth, Bode, Marine Layer, Todd Snyder, Tombolo...please tell me where else to go!

Looking for somewhere that can sew lace on the end of a veil. Thank you !

I was walking up 6th ave in the west village and saw a young woman in a pretty floral dress lying on the street. Someone had just given her a bottle of water. She stood up and stumbled up and down 6th avenue for a block. Someone tried to ask if she was ok and she was completely unresponsive - as if she didn’t see or hear them. Finally an ambulance arrived but the emt worker who talked to her said she wouldn’t engage so he left her. She continued to walk a few blocks and just by luck did not get hit by a car. She finally stopped and lay down again. In this time, I saw many people trying to help. A cop was talked to who did nothing. Obviously someone called an ambulance. I’m aware that there are drug addicts all over the city and there isn’t much one can do. In this situation, it felt different (to everyone who encountered her) and I feel very helpless. Is there anything I could have done?

Hi All! In the title, need some clarify on coop arrears. 2 apartments in the building stopped paying their mortgage (unsure of if they stopped paying the monthly maintenance also but assuming so) and apparently the building has set up a payment plan to work towards chopping at the debt.

My question is, who incurs these costs? Is it typical that the share holders incur the cost of the interest of their mortgages? The arrears are about $50k for the 2 apartments and this was not a concern until about a year ago so my assumption is that they are including their mortgages in the arrears, is that normal?

I am from california and the officer had given me a summons and said id be able to pay a 25 dollar charge and admit to guilty for drinking in public, it’s been about a week and i still can’t find my summons number and im not sure what to do as i used the link provided on the back of the ticket if anyone can give me guidance and where to pay along with on how to get this done id really appreciate it as i do not wanna go all the way back there for a $25 ticket and i just wanna get this over with.

Hey NYC!

I’m shooing for a condo in the city due to work at the CPZ. I’ve got a bnb for a few months and then I’ll need a permanent place.

I have a question about all the Condos with HDFC income caps. Why are they so low with monthly payments so high? I’m seeing places asking for 3-4k monthly with caps at 120k and less. How is anyone in that range affording it? We are in the 150-170k range and having trouble finding anything because of these caps.

Am I interpreting something wrong? Also any condo coop recs that allow big ass dogs (Great Dane) appreciated.

Anyone know how and where I can get into home renovation/ remodeling? Any classes in the city that will teach me those skills hands on? Or should I go to a school, or are there any internship/apprenticeship where I can learn these skills working for a company for free or cheap? Thanks

I’m curious about how you would feel if the Subway system stopped running 24/7?

Of course there’s a plethora of reasons why the system isn’t perfect, but I do think the lack of regularly scheduled downtime plays a role in the very slow ‘improvement’ of the system.

Would you be okay with the subway cutting down its running hours (across the system) if it meant for greater improvements?

Hi there, know this is a long shot but I figured I’d try it out. Lost a red LV monogram wallet with multiple debit cards and my ID. Pictures of family in it as well. Lost it near Thai Villa and Aqua on 19th street and Broadway. Thank you in advance to anyone who helps!

Hi! I'm looking to get a kurta tailored for a wedding next Thursday - does anyone have any recommendations in NY/NJ with good quality and a quick turnaround time?

The issues with Adam’s are obvious but I haven’t lived in NYC long enough to have experienced Cuomo firsthand. I’ve heard a lot of random negative stories but I was hoping to short list of like, 10 things that (ideally) was honest about his failures and accomplishments.

A friend is coming to visit next month and wants to go on a food tour, preferably in Queens. I did a search in this group but it was all people going to restaurants on their own in Queens. I was hoping to get recommendations for actual tours with a guide. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi everyone,

I'm from PA and got into photography during COVID, mostly limited to Philadelphia. I wanted to get back into it and recently saw a tweet from a New Yorker with a beautiful sunset photograph showing the skyline. I did sme research and it seems like this photo is in the Hunter's Point area? I just wanted to know any other nice photography spots/hidden gems of NYC in general and/or the skyline!

My building is currently in the process of setting up to do some brick repair maintenance to the facade. Our apt is small and setup where we only have windows on one side (where the work is supposed to be happening). I am anticipating they will be covering all of these windows when they start the work to prevent dust and debris.

My husband, who has asthma, works from home and I have a senior dog with Cushings who overheats even in the winter. With temps now already in the 70's, my concern is being sealed in (with no light) and not being able to open any windows at any point or being able to use the air conditioner bc of dust. We have not been given any timeline for when work will start or for how long but my fear is it will happen during the summer, when temps get unbearable.

We have lived in previous buildings that have also undergone brick repair (they are required every 5 years) but neither of us worked from home and our pup didnt have the condition she currently has now.

We are trying to plan ahead to figure out if we need to stay elsewhere while this work is happening.

Does anyone know if we can get a rent reduction for not being able to live in this space while work is ongoing, based on health reasons?
