I recommended it!!!
Also to infinitebento, make sure you check craigslist sublets.
Oh thank you then!! Didn't look far enough back in the recs. The place was bomb. Really good noodles, and the broth was super tasty. Up there with my favorite places for ramen now.
On the 7th? Will people be able to make it after seeing Metroid Prime 4 reveal? We might need time to recover.

I might pass. Took a bit of a financial hit here in Philly. Have a review to write over the weekend. I don't want to go back to NYC. I love being on my own and traveling alone. ;_; Dammit I love that I'm having a few local beers at a bar in South Philly alone!
Nah you gotta come. Last meetup of the year and people think you're dead. If you like drinking alone so much, I'm sure there will be a moment where enough people will be on their phones that you can relive that feeling. 🤙🏻

I dunno son, being on my own feels liberating in a way where no one knows you and have to figure out your way. I call it solitary enjoyment. I went through hell and back coming and leaving Philly since I wasted money thanks to overlooking mistakes. But I had friends looking after me to help me sort it out and calm me down. I'm going to see if I plan a trip to Canada alone for next year.
Yup, I'll miss the cheap beer. And damn good beer at that. :( Also Wawa. Loved the hell out of Wawa's cheap sandwiches.
Yup, it didn't happen so much when I was in the Dominican Republic but here it feels good if that makes any sense.
We need to start planning these things with giant blackout dates for Nintendo releases and major movies!
If only we had a calendar system to poll people's availability beforehand. 🤔
Meetup for this Friday:

So recently around my part of Brooklyn, a lot of businesses have been taking down their awnings and replacing them with banners. Turns out someone is making a ton of 311 calls to have them taken down: http://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs...esses-are-getting-slapped-with-signage-fines-
There has to be a reason for all this. I mean, awnings? Seriously?

lol, suuuuuuree. definitely just an influx of "anonymous" reports. but I guess it might be sign companies doing this?? That's shady

wouldn't that be a trip, ha

This morning I made the mistake of taking the C in from Brooklyn after 9. Waited for three trains before one had room, then a signal shit the bed so the train was rerouted onto the F line. Ended up taking an hour and a half to get into work.
The city would be far more attractive without awnings. The vast majority of them are terrible, and yeah out in the boroughs they get much worse in part because most aren't actually compliant with regs.
If it's a sign company behind it, I'm impressed no one came up with it before now.

Dope, cause this shit is like a localized sun.
edit: reported. hopefully I don't wake up to a horse head

Hello NYC peeps! My wife and I are looking at places to live in Bronxville, and from everything we've heard it's a pretty cozy little area with decent shops/restaurants/etc. I am wondering if any of you have an opinion of this suburb? We both work in Greenwich so we're trying to find something of a compromise between NYC and work. Thanks!
If you can afford the area it should be nice. You're going to be spending more time commuting and at the mercy of the train getting into work, though, versus living near or off of the subway.

LMFAO I thought the same thing
Good to hear about Grand Army Plaza :) I'll most likely end up doing that.
If anyone (non-discord) have any good ideas for things to do on NYE, I'm all ears. I want to do something different this year instead of staying home and playing video games.
Prospect Park sounds nice, but it's a little hard to get to from Queens. I might still consider going there though. Any other suggestions?

I'm undecided as to what my plans are for NYE. I usually don't do anything and stay home because I'm boring (my family goes to parties). 2 of my friends want to meet up that day. Never been to Prospect Park's fireworks but it sounds fun. At least 1.5 hours for me on the train though. And I imagine it won't be fun getting on a train full of drunk and loud people. :(
I've looked around Time Out NY's website but the stuff they listed looks pricey. $179 for the Circle Line NYE cruise? Yup, that's pricey.

Yeah, no way am I spending 179 bucks for shit. Bad enough we have to pay for food and crap, but you have to buy tickets as well?
I pay about 30-40 bucks for electric per month. I don't own a car, so I don't have to worry about gas.
My apartment has been boiling all week because of the weather and I can't really open a window because of scaffolding. Bleh
$70-120 determined by A/C use.
That's cheap... wow
My bill went up this month because of level payment plan but I think it's recouping for the electric we used in the summer.
Keep in mind my family is pretty frugal. Though I guess we're not really actively doing anything special to lower our electric bill besides not being wasteful and using energy efficient bulbs.
Got my first bill at this place and it was around $68 I think. The unit is heated/cooled by electric though.
It's possible there are drafts coming through your window. Caulking or sealing with insulation helps.
Depending on where you live, and how the company is reading the electric meter, the amount you pay can vary by making up for a previous month where they just estimated, etc. Usually the things that drive up a bill are AC and the fridge. I also just got my bill and it was $60 (in Manhattan).
