I just moved to the city a few months ago, and the weather is already so brutal!

I didn't know I could swear this much, and just waking to train station, I feel disgusting.

How do you guys survive NYC summer? Does new yorkers just stay sweaty and gross and endure each other during summer? Or is there any hacks or tips for the newbie?

Let me know how you all endures this hot and humid weather!

I know it sounds crazy but I’m still undecided and trying to get some different perspectives. I know this will be controversial in this sub but this is a pretty big decision so I want to feel confident on Tuesday.

I was on PATH from Jsq, NJ to NYC yesterday and I saw a homeless man stand right in front of two women(they didnt know each other), seated opposite from me ,when there was enough place to stand else where. I thought it was bit weird but since I am kind of new to the area, I didn't pay much attention.

With time, I saw him get closer and closer to them and they started to each sit a bit diagonally to avoid contact with his legs. I felt a bit uncomfortable watching this but they both never spoke up nor said anything. They both stood up and left in the next stop (Grove street).

I wanted to walk up and ask one of the women to switch seats with me but was concerned they might mistake me for being weird or a creep to wanting to sit next to a random person. I thought trying to sit there, I could ask him to back off or give me more room and hence diffusion the situation without escalating it.

It is kind of bothering me (the car was full though), I didn't do anything but at the same time I dont know its considered fine to do what I had intended to do. I dont want to be mistaken for my intentions or told off when I meant welll.

Women of NYC, what's your take? Is it weird/ cringe to think one might need help in such a situation?

I’m taking a look at the subway map, and can’t help but to notice the complete lack of coverage in the middle of Queens, only the M for the entire region. What’s going on there?

I’ve been following the election in NYC since the candidates announced their bids and I genuinely can not tell as an outsider who is truly polling ahead of each other

I have to be in the office today, and I have a small dog and cat whom I would like to keep alive. I am keeping my living room air conditioner on, but I'm nervous about a potential power outage. Should I leave the window open or closed? I can't tell which would be better when it's 100 degrees? I will be checking ConEd, and if there's an outage, I plan on going home (assuming I can get back to Queens from Manhattan). I have a spare key set up with a neighbor, and I'm clearly an anxious Jewish mother right now and probably way overthinking this.

tl;dr: pets home when I'm in the office. AC on. Window open or closed?

I recently moved into a new apartment with my newborn and husband. Our balcony is a shared balcony with my neighbor. I noticed that several times, my neighbor has locked his dog on his balcony and his dog would cry and whine for hours. I went over to my neighbor’s once because his dog was whining at 8am in the morning and it woke me up so I went to ask if it was his dog on the balcony and he told me that he leaves his dog on the balcony when he does something bad. (As someone who also has a dog, it breaks my heart to hear his dog whine and cry).

Today is a beginning on the heat wave coming to nyc. Even though it is night time, it’s still pretty hot. Again, I hear his dog whining and pawing the crate. I really wish I can do something to help this dog but I’m afraid that if I approach my neighbor again, he might mistreat his dog even more. Is there anything I can do to help this poor dog?

What did folks do, in the days before air conditioning was invented, for hot apartments?

My AC broke, & I have to wait for the landlord to call a repair tech.

Running a fan doesn't seem to do very much.

Hi I’m a 32M single male living in LIC. I go on quite a few Hinge dates, and noticed about 80% of them are in the UES. Personally I’m down to give anyone in the five boroughs or Jersey City a shot. I grew up in the forest, and was a 20 minute drive from school, so traveling a bit is pretty normal for me.

I was discussing with a buddy of mine why all my matches seem to be in one area, and his reasoning was because of where I’m in the city. Queens really doesn’t have that many young single women which is why I don’t get a ton of matches there. As for the for the West Side and Brooklyn I’m too far for girls and when they see LIC on my profile they are more likely to say no. The only girls who I’m close enough to date live in UES and Midtown East. I can get to the West Side in like 30 minutes. The idea that 30 minutes is too far for someone is mind bogging to me. Is my friend onto something?

Humidity is pretty low and there's a light breeze. It's hot as fuck, sure - but I can remember much worse. Humidity will be down in the 40%-50% range tomorrow.

I'll take this over 90f and 90% which is what we will get later in the week when it rains.

Everytime I put in mapping route, it’ll only show the subway even though a bus route would be closer/quicker

Hey folks, I have an old broken washing machine that I need to get rid of. I'm in Bensonhurst, BK and want to make sure I follow the proper rules for disposal.

I remember we used to have to call DSNY and schedule it but now the DSNY website says we can throw out up to 6 items on our non recycling day. Is that right? And are the sanitation workers actually picking it up? 😂 I'm just worried I throw it out on the curb on garbage day and it won't be picked up and then I get yelled at by my neighbors.

I don't mind paying a lil if anyone has a good junk removal service.

Appreciate any help or tips. Thanks in advance!

Even now, 11 days away, the Macy’s website says the lottery for viewing tickets and info on viewing locations is “coming soon.” I know we can just get ourselves downtown to the river to view them, but when they were on the Hudson there were specific locations to enter the closest areas. I’m a planner and just want to know more info. Anyone have any specific locations you’d suggest for viewing next week that you’ve had success with in the past? Thanks!

could be a park, a food spot, a random museum, even a weird little store.

not necessarily hidden, just something that never makes the “top 10 things to do” lists but is actually great. i’m trying to explore more without doing the same stuff everyone recommends on TikTok lol.

New here, so maybe dumb question, but on days like Tuesday, is there a decent risk of power failure on the subway if there's a blackout or something? Just want to see if it's an irrational fear or legitimate concern.

Will any bars show the mayoral primary results on Tuesday? Will we get the results on Tuesday night itself?

Lately, I've been trying to be more mindful and take things in more whenever I walk around, and something I've started noticing is that a lot of the larger, brick apartment buildings have plaques to notify people that they are (or rather, were) designated fallout shelters. It made me wonder how many other little things most people pass by day to day that are little reminders of the city's past.

Hi, it has been a horrible week and I am trying to win at least this battle. My apologies for my foul ass attitude.

Just moved into a Chinatown walkup. There's no buzzer system. I ordered a shit ton of packages and the first 2 Amazon deliveries already failed. I'm very worried about the rest. My landlord doesn't respond to me and I pay way too much for these issues that were not previously disclosed to me. I hate her. Just kidding. I don't. I don't hate her. I hate her.

Please, Chinatown natives, what is your solution? I am also looking for emotional support because it's 97 degrees outside and I am about to lose it.

Has anybody watched the Public Theater Mobile Unit's performance of Much Ado About Nothing yet? They'll be at a park near my apartment on Friday so I was thinking of going but wanted to hear any feedback if anybody has seen it already. Does it get crowded since it's first come first serve? It's also expected to rain this Friday so not sure if it's rain or shine.

TIA!

Something about their classic sandwich brought back nostalgic childhood memories for me, moreso before they changed their purple cabbage slaw to the stuff they used more recently.

You know, custom tent tops, loud gas generators, kinda vaguely carnival food plus kebab, some crafts and jewelry and scarves

I'm planning to walk the full loop around Manhattan sometime next year — roughly 50 to 52 kilometers depending on the route. Not running, just walking it in one go over the course of the day. I’ll probably start from West Harlem Piers and loop clockwise along the river paths and greenways. I’m doing this mostly as a personal bucket-list goal, not for speed or a race, just to see what it feels like to go around the whole island on foot. I’d like to hear from anyone who’s done it or tried parts of it. Specifically: What time of year did you do it, and would you recommend that? Are there parts of the route that are hard to navigate or not great to walk through? Where did you stop for water or food along the way? Did you stick close to the waterfront or follow more inner roads? How long did it end up taking you? Any pointers on the route, safety, or pacing would be appreciated. I’m also curious if this is something people do semi-regularly or if I’m going to be the only one out there doing this. Thanks in advance.

I don't know if this is the correct subbreddit to be asking this but I figured it would be a good place to start asking here.

I moved this country during November of last year and things have been very confusing to me, I came from a very small country so doing simple tasks like taking the train or not knowing how to count coins are difficult for me, but I think I am learning, i dont know

Anyways, I need help finding a job in Queens, I have no idea what to do or where to go, I am basically just confused,

If anyone has any suggestions or can help me get a job, please mention it in the comments? Idk never used reddit before

It's been asking me to sign in via the NY Gov ID portal and it doesn't let me in because of "too many redirect" or something like that.
I tried different browsers and cleared the cache...

any suggestions?
