    If any one in the nyc area hasn’t seen Hamilton yet, I just put four tickets up for next friday (11/30) at face value. They’re currently $200 cheaper than the next cheapest tickets on the same night. We may be able to figure out a way to sell them outside of one or the sites and avoid fees too.

    Jungsik was incredible. Quite expensive but I thought the food was as good or better than any tasting menu I've had. They do this thinly sliced ribeye over dumplings and pour a 2-day cooked broth over it. Unreal.

    Cuomo cancelling the L train shutdown 3 months before its scheduled to start is the most Cuomo thing ever

    Not going to lie, our potential relocation from Crown Heights to Stuy town appreciates his asshattery at least this once.

    The M.C. Escher exhibit in Industry City is excellent. Industry City is worth walking around while you are out there as well.

    OK boys. Going to be in town Friday night March 8 through Monday afternoon on the 11th. I have Cote for Saturday night locked up. Friday night we get in around 830. What are my chances of walking in at Gramercy Tavern (bar) Sugarfish or Momofuku noodle at 930 or 10 on a Friday night? The bars I want to hit are all in that area and none take reservations.

    Also I would love a badass chinese/dumpling place to hit for lunch. Staying in Koreatown. Thanks for the help

    Best neighborhoods to live in Brooklyn for easy transit into Manhattan?

    Preferably by the NQR, 4/5 or 2/3

    I'm slightly priced out of what I'm looking to rent in Manhattan

    $3,800 mainly because of the private backyard. I just had a disaster of a year living on the corner of CPS and Columbus Circle and I can’t wait to get the fuck out of here.

    Hello


    I live in Los Angeles and will be coming to NYC for the first time Sunday. Will be working in the city at least a month, my provided housing however is in edgewater NJ. Tell me why I will like NYC more than LA. What should I do outside of a visit to Times Square and Sbarro for authentic New York pizza? Tia
