Manhattan will be the main focus, but if there's anything good not too far away we might consider it.Are you just staying in Midtown Manhattan or going other places?

What's up NYC-Era? I just moved to Williamsburg yesterday and I don't know anyone here. How's it going? Anyone want to hang out? :)
I'd say join the Discord, but then you may never want to meet us haha.
You got a link to that? I can't seem to find it in the OPI'd say join the Discord, but then you may never want to meet us haha.
I prefer the term cunning vixen because of the racial conations "fox" and "sly" have, but I heard its at 7PMI think a few of us are heading to Slyfox tonight if anyone is interested.
Hey NYC Era - I'm moving to NYC at the start of August and I could really use your help on choosing a neighborhood to move to. My criteria:
1 - I will need to find roomies, and my rent should probably be around $1200 max, so nothing wildly expensive
2 - Really hope I can be near some green spaces, or neighborhoods that have lots of trees and are relatively peaceful
3 - Don't want it to smell like piss and shit 24/7, so Manhattan is pretty much out of the picture
All that being said, I would also have to commute toward the Bronx a few days per week for work. Some friends have suggested Astoria, Crown Heights and Prospect Heights as possible winners. Any other suggestions on where I should be looking?

All my friends live in BK and that area is more of my scene.The obvious question to ask as 'Why not the Bronx'? It's cheaper, there's plenty of nice neighborhoods, and not having to commute a long distance is always nice.

The Verrazzano may become a two-way toll bridge: https://brooklynreporter.com/2019/06/two-way-bridge-toll-plan-passes-first-hurdle/
I mean, you'll have to pay the toll twice a day now instead of onceIt was always rather bizarre it functioned that way to me. As it doesn't bump up the toll costs I'm paying, I'm fine with it.

Prospect Heights and Crown Heights are fantastic, but unsure if doable in that range. Also far from the Bronx. Astoria is closer, but Astoria is probably even more expensive. I'd suggest Bed Stuy and Bushwick, should be possible to do with roomies in that range.Hey NYC Era - I'm moving to NYC at the start of August and I could really use your help on choosing a neighborhood to move to.

I use a Fujifilm XT3 w/ a 23mm lens.
At 3PM. I'll be there at least, dunno about you or anyone else.Oh I dig those pics nitewulf
Also for those who have abandoned the discord... if want think we're going to Bierhaus tomorrow in the afternoon.
Depends on what side of prospect ParkIf you guys wanna hang out sometimes, I love Do or Dive at Crown Heights, and the Jefferson Street strip in Bushwick...The Johnson's, The Rookery etc. Williamsburg/Greenpoint is fine as well. Wondering if anyone lives in my area? I am in Kensington, near Prospect Park/Windsor Terrace.
I'm by the F/G trains.
Oh you're on the other side of the park then
Oh I didn't mean meet up in my hood, though it is pretty vibrant (the Cortelyou Road strip has a whole string of bars). I used to live by you (in Fort Green, but I'd walk around a lot)...I love Vanderbilt and Washington avenues...I used to go to The Way Station a lot.Oh you're on the other side of the park then
Closer to my work (Grand Army) and some good bars though
Sure we can try and do a meet-up in the area... maybe closer to Barclays/5th Ave
I'd say join the Discord, but then you may never want to meet us haha.
Just a heads up: Ticket-tape parade will be happening on the 10th to celebrate the Women's national team winning the World Cup.
I got flaked on a date at a bar there last summer. I believe it was Sycamore Bar + Flower shop but the locals were nice to talk to. I got into a conversation with a couple who lived down the street from there. The bars around there all looked pretty damn cool but it was a quite a bit of a trek for me to get to from northern Manhattan. Still, I think it's an underrated area with a residential vibe.Oh I didn't mean meet up in my hood, though it is pretty vibrant (the Cortelyou Road strip has a whole string of bars).

Food wise, K-town (Korea Way) would probably be your best bet like Woorijip and Bonchon. But there's only so much Korean food one can eat before getting fatigued by it. Reichenbach Hall is another solid option for German pub food like wiener, schnitzel, and pretzels in addition to the beer (probably best after work, not during lunch break).Hi, got an internship around the Empire State Building/Greeley Square area, so wanted to ask for recommendations of good places for breakfast/lunch around there
Is it worth going to for someone who doesn't follow sports? The idea of enduring crowds to get a glimpse at the team can go either way depending on one's level of interest. Also, I just learned that ticker tape parades used to involve using actual ticker tape. But these days it's confetti lol.Just a heads up: Ticker-tape parade will be happening on the 10th to celebrate the Women's national team winning the World Cup.
Probably not. These things are just your usual parades with people you'd only know if you followed the sport.Is it worth going to for someone who doesn't follow sports?

Yes, Sycamore is the first bar that sprouted up around 15 years ago, now there's Bar Chord which has live music, Highbury Pub which is an Arsenal bar of all things. Bunch of pretty well rated restaurants, specifically very authentic Thai, I mean that in a serious way, Isaan Thai and other region specific Thai, not generic stuff. Thai restaurateurs love this neighborhood for some reason. I grew up here, and I believe we do like to keep it a bit secret.I got flaked on a date at a bar there last summer.

I just heard about that on WNYC. I understand she's advocating for equal pay for female soccer players which started with Hope Solo a few years ago. As such, I can definitely see people trying to disrupt the parade.Probably not. These things are just your usual parades with people you'd only know if you followed the sport.
I'm thinking of going, but I'm fearing I'm gonna run into a lot of people that'll try to disrupt the parade since one of the bigger stars of the team has been very vocal on her political stances.
Sycamore was one of the most unique bars I've been to in the city say the least so it was a blessing in disguise. I've never had Thai food so that's good to know. Growing up in Washington Heights, Dominican, Salvadoran pupusas (greasy but good), and quite a few Mexican places gets tiring. I mean there is a Thai place a block away from the A train but I've never stepped foot in there. We've also got a pretty decent Japanese ramen place.Yes, Sycamore is the first bar that sprouted up around 15 years ago, now there's Bar Chord which has live music, Highbury Pub which is an Arsenal bar of all things.
