I don't see anyone named Johan around here. Do you? By the way fun fact: Hero Prinny gets constantly mistaken for being Jewish when he is in fact Dominican. ;) There's two other brethren in this thread. I'll let you try to figure out who they are.
They are but we're organizing them via the NYC Discord these days for now. These are small scale ones that happen sporadically; there was a small meet up last Thursday for a Marvel movie trivia night at a bar.
Which neighborhoods in particular? Some don't really feel change, while others are going through a rather dramatic shift.So how does everyone feel about NYC, specifically Brooklyn and transplants moving in? I'm considering moving back for grad school, but I don't miss the vibes of feeling like a stranger in my own home...
I believe the city should welcome everyone.So how does everyone feel about NYC, specifically Brooklyn and transplants moving in? I'm considering moving back for grad school, but I don't miss the vibes of feeling like a stranger in my own home...
Come move to Astoria.So how does everyone feel about NYC, specifically Brooklyn and transplants moving in? I'm considering moving back for grad school, but I don't miss the vibes of feeling like a stranger in my own home...
No doubt, spend like half my time up there.
As long as people aren't self-righteous about it and speak to their neighbors, they can move wherever they want to. I've dated far too many women that live in Brooklyn which seems to be the chic thing to do until they get priced out. I once went out with a girl who insisted on calling 6th avenue Avenue of the Americas but she didn't grow up in the city.So how does everyone feel about NYC, specifically Brooklyn and transplants moving in?

It must be nice being near the Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It seemed like a decent area from the little time I spent there. The nearest Golden Krust for me is in East Harlem but that's a bit of a pain in the ass for me to get to. I heard a bunch of Aussie transplants live in Crown Heights.I moved to Crown Heights, BK in January of 16 from NJ. Wanted to try something different.
It has been great so far.

I like people to be aware of the changes happening around the neighborhood. It's not to say that I'm pro or anti-gentrification because it's a bit of a necessary evil in the end of the day. That being said, I feel a bit out of place every time I go to Williamsburg or DUMBO as someone who didn't grow up in Brooklyn. Almost every area in Brooklyn save for maybe East New York, Canarsie, and Brownsville have rapidly changed. When I was in Coney Island late summer for the first time in about years or so, the area around the boardwalk definitely changed.

I pretty much avoid events there anymore. Its always way too crowded.BTW, anyone at Nintendo World yesterday for the Mario launch?

Although we did find out that there's an Italian place called Resette in Times Square so move over The Gaf because there's a new kid in town. I think if there were to be another big meet up, it would have to be either before Thanksgiving or in December before the holidays. We'll iron something out for these parts for sure; I have a beer book that still needs to be used so I'll be happy to return to Williamsburg soon.
Ridiculous that this happened here. Terrible.Hope ya'll are alright. I'm in midtown myself, pretty well away from this

I moved here in march to live with my girlfriend of four years as she goes through grad school. I've had a really hard time adjusting to the city; I feel like there is sadness everywhere I go. I spend hours every day on the train because of my job, and it's really hard for me to not become incredibly fearful/depressed observing everyone who I pass. I can't articulate why very well. I think I have probably had untreated clinical depression for some time now. At different times in my life I've tried medications for anxiety but nothing has ever helped. The only good thing I have consistently experienced here is my girlfriend. Being able to finally share our lives together has been an unending source of brightness, and a constant reminder of who I am, who I can be, and what truly matters to me the most.
One of her friends from college was killed in the attack tuesday. His girlfriend was supposed to come to our Halloween party; as the night progressed and it became clear what had happened I felt numb like I have never before in my life. So much crying. Not me—I couldn't feel enough to cry. Just so much watching her cry. I never met him, and now I never will. Watching my girlfriend —literally the most grounded person I've ever known—tell me through tears that she didn't want me to leave the house yesterday has basically broken my ability to think clearly about anything. Today it's already a little better-she's already a little better, because that's how it works, right?
I know I haven't lived here very long, but I think I hate this place. I want to grow old and live my life with her and in this city I feel afraid of all life. I know how irrational it is to think this way; I know that this was an unreal, unimaginable tragedy. I know nothing is gonna happen to either one of us. But I'm really scared. I have to be strong for her and I'm not sure who else to confide in. I feel guilty and ashamed for even posting this; it's not about me at all. It happened to him, not me. I'm just really confused.

Are the meet ups going to be organized here?
I had fun meeting the NYC peeps, would love to attend another one.
They are being planned, I think folks are trying to get one going soon.
I think Kanik posted above about one next week?

I need to buy tickets for Friday as well.
Voted today. Yea voted for Blasio.BTW today is election day folks. Vote or die (lol). Although let's be honest: De Blasio is going to win by a landslide because Nicole Malliotakis is a moron and Leticia James is going to hold on to her Public Advocate position. The more divisive issues are the three propositions on the ballot that are arguably more important than electing local officials. I'm leaning towards voting No on proposition 1, yes on proposition 2, and yes on proposition 3.
The friday coming is anime nyc. i think they still got ticketsIs there anything particularly cool in the city to see/do this Friday? Heading into the city to meet with a friend that's never been to NYC.
