It’s fine it’s Long Island railroad not the subway

At that hour? I’d expect it to be unreliable, slow and dangerous. Definitely take a car. If we were talking between 6am-10pm totally different story

Alright I’ve been convinced to not. Thanks y’all

I’m usually not bothered by the subway but at that hour I’d take a cab.

Take a taxi. Use Curb to call it like an Uber. Assuming you live in Manhattan it’s a flat fare of $52

It’s literally not dangerous. I’ve done it so many times

Might be safe but catching a train at that time is rolling dice

Yeah this is just as much the issue. Danger is relative but the absolute risk of just missing your flight due to delays / breakdowns with few trains in service seems much higher, especially when you need to change trains multiple times

LIRR should be safe. Penn station is more the issue lol

If anyone was curious to know, I took a cab at 4 am to jfk just to find out my flight was delayed 3 hours lol. Go figure. Gonna give the train a whirl when I fly back to the city!

!! Thanks for letting me know. Will be doing the same route :)

Sorry I don’t have a name for ya but I’ve heard of legit bus/minivan airport transport services that are legit and a bit on the cheaper. Hope it sparks something with someone

I used to do it a lot in the past. But post COVID? Nope.

There’s a train to JFK?

Hi everyone, I’m an architectural designer (from Europe) with 1.5 yrs experience. I’m working for a practice in San Francisco, full-time from the office, getting 25 an hour. It is so expensive to live here, I am struggling to make things work. Is this a normal salary for someone of my experience or should I ask for a raise? I don’t want to be greedy but it’s so expensive out here… Thank you 🌈

Question on UK visa-

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.

Saw someone asking about high-rise apartments in Mott Haven earlier. Just moved into a new apartment building here and honestly it’s not as bad as I thought. New buildings are safe and pretty spacious (relatively speaking). Downside is not really much to do around this area and food delivery is not great. Hope this is helpful for any one who is looking at this area.

I just moved here so this might be a dumb question so please don’t judge. Why does my laundry smell like pee and how can I fix it? I used a common washer and dryer in my building.
