How old are you and what’s your expected income? Do you consider yourself more of an alternative/hipster type or a preppy/brunch type?

Recommendations for what? Neighborhoods? Moving companies? Restaurants?

This is so vague…

And what do you do for AA?

Anyway OP, I recommend looking in Brooklyn and Queens for somewhat better deals and a better community vibe. Check out Long Island city, Astoria, greenpoint, Bushwick, Williamsburg, and crown heights. All are relatively easy commutes to Manhattan (and JFK/LGA incidentally, given your job). Most have a mix of 4 story walk ups and newer doorman/elevator high rises if that’s your thing.

Btw: not sure about your background or comfort with NYC, but don’t let spray paint, barbed wire, or mountains of garbage give you the wrong impression lol. While situational awareness is recommended wherever you go, these are all pretty great places to live.

Use streeteasy.com

just in general, I already have ideas but seeking clarification on good areas to live and some good eats

I've been avoiding breaking up with someone (I've been dating off and on for a year) for the past few weeks because I can't decide the best way to do it. We're not compatible long-term. He's not seeing anyone else and I've told him I'm seeing other people but he's starting to have relationship expectations for me since we reconnected a few months ago. Any tips for having the conversation? I'd prefer to do it via text but I know people say it's not appropriate and it should be over the phone.

I may be relocating for a new job as early as Mar, Apr latest. Looking to sublet or lease takeover my 2br 1ba 3rd floor walk up in West Village (1 block from Christopher St station) which is rent stabilized for under $3.2k. Lease goes through end of Aug 2021

Rent stab means this rate will hold with 1-3% annual increases (no risk of big rent jumps).

Pretty much a unicorn, sad to give it up. I should know in next 2-3 wks about the new job but wanted to gauge interest.

I just saw what appeared to be a hot yoga class being taken inside an outdoor dining set up at a local restaurant. They had clear tarps covering the side that would normally be “open air” (ie it was fully enclosed) and additional space heaters running.

I don’t really care what they do but I just had a “c’mon maaaaan” moment. How is this different then doing it inside a yoga studio???
