I haveHas anyone done SPYSCAPE? I guess it might be a bit touristy but I'm a sucker for spy related things.
First set is the Sony A7RII, with a mix of the 24-70 and 70-200 2.8 GM's and the second set is with the A7RIII, same lenses. Have way more in the photography thread.JadedWriter damn, your photos are amazing of NYC. May I ask what equipment you're using?
Nah I'm here for another 3 days. Still tempted to go if there's a recommendation for it. What did you think?
I wanted to do Top of the Rock, but damn it's crazy expensive, almost $150 for all 3 of us just look at Manhattan skyline.
It is and isn't.
Like happy I did it, but for the price there isn't enough to justify it sadly.
I plan on marching and performing in the Halloween Parade yet again so that would be a no go for me. My October looks pretty busy in general.Just seeing if there would be any interest in doing something on Halloween?
And would folks dress up!
I'm in Bushwick for one or two days, but I don't know what to do tonight . . . boop.
Speaking of bourbon, the person I'm staying with likes it.
Hi NYC Era, I wanted to introduce myself to you guys as I'm making some changes in my life and want to put myself out there, even little steps like this at a time. My name is Carson and I've lived in the city since I started going to school at NYU in 2012 and it's been great but over time a lot of the people I knew ended up being unable to afford living here or just had other opportunities elsewhere...
I'd love to get a drink, hit Barcade in Brooklyn or the village, hang out somewhere and smoke up if anyones into that, whatever. Great to meet you all!
Thanks. I would love to go to one sometime.Keep your eye out for events. We always post about them either in here or a separate new thread.

I live in the East Village near Stuytown. I'd love to get a drink, hit Barcade in Brooklyn or the village, hang out somewhere and smoke up if anyones into that, whatever. Great to meet you all!
Welcome. It's a great community for getting seduced into suspicious murder rooms under the guise of "watching Mortal Kombat the movie".
RIP that one dude.

I would go to the Noguchi Museum, maybe hit up a brewery (Singlecut, Brooklyn Brewery, etc.), go to the William Vale and hit up Westlight, their rooftop bar, or if you're interested, the NY Food and Wine Festival is in town this weekend. Try to spend more time in Queens if anything like Flushing, LIC (cross the Queensboro bridge by foot), and Astoria for the Museum of The Moving Image (Thursdays are free) and good beer/food scene.Hi NYC era!

It's a ton of fun, if you can afford it I'd go.You guys are awesome! thanks for the suggestions.
I kind of forgot to book sleep no more and now tickets are ~$150 which I'm quite reluctant to spend so idk if I'll get to do that but I heard it's great
If you're under 40, you can snag some cheap, but good tickets to the Metropolitan Opera on Fridays: https://www.metopera.org/season/tickets/fridays-under-40/
Not really shocking. The Republican option was a joke (he literally just wrote "stop the deBlasio agenda" three times as his top three policy goals), and most of the "vote no" comments on the BoE's site made it pretty clear there weren't a huge number of reasons to oppose them (just basically libertarians.)For those interested in knowing: Jumaane Williams won a full term for public advocate, Melinda Katz has won the election for DA of Queens, and all 5 amendment questions had a YES vote. All were basically landslides.
As I figured. It was a no-brainer to say yes to all the proposals. I think they all sounded good and while I think some proposals could have been more extensive, it's a start. I voted last week and it was buttery smooth.For those interested in knowing: Jumaane Williams won a full term for public advocate, Melinda Katz has won the election for DA of Queens, and all 5 amendment questions had a YES vote.

Whoever told you that is full of itApologies in advance, maybe this isn't the place to ask or perhaps it has been asked too much. I've been presented an opportunity to live and work in NYC and despite working for two different companies, my wife has been too. This would be a massive change for our family but we both adore NYC and are seriously considering it. The big catch (and this is where it gets super fucking tricky) is that we have 4 (!!) kids, all 9 and under so uprooting our life is umm, hard. If we did this, I would prefer to live in NYC although I realize Manhattan is simply too expensive for the space we'd need for 4 children.
I brought this up to someone who lives in the area and they said nobody with a family lives in the city or sends their kids to NYC schools and that I should like at locations in NJ. I'm from Texas, this could be true or completely false and I'd never know. From an affordability and living space standpoint, Queens seems to make sense but what the fuck do I know.
Am I completely off my rocker for wanting to actually try to live in the city (even if it's not the core) with kids, and should I just be trying to find a suburb in my scenario? Not gonna lie, moving across the country to find a NJ suburb is not quite as appealing. I'm sure income numbers would help, but not super comfortable sharing that for obvious reasons. I would say upper middle class but that's in Texas terms, not New York.
Same.Whoever told you that is full of it
Tons of people raise families in the city
There are entire neighborhoods that people dub Stroller Areas
And as a product of NYC public school system, I'll go to bat for them
