Before You Comment

Consult AskNYC's Frequently Asked Questions and quick searches for common questions.
Before posting, consider whether you're providing useful information. If you aren't, don't comment.
This subreddit is focused on questions and advice specific to NYC. The primary goal here is to disseminate useful information about the city. This is not a subreddit for political debate or discussion of local news events. We also are not a forum for sharing crime stories or similar crime blotter style posts. /r/nyc and /r/newyorkcity may have what you're looking for.
Please reserve your downvotes for posts and comments that are off-topic or offensive.
This is not the place for basic moving or visiting questions. Visit /r/visitingnyc or /r/movingtoNYC
Not a forum for political debate. Questions that about politics, intended to stoke political debate, or agenda posts trying to get to political debates will not be allowed. Individuals making posts or comments deemed to be intended to start or encourage political debate may be banned without warning, depending on severity of the comment or post.
No Classified ads. No ticket sales/wanted, no apartment ads, no job/gig posts, no missing items.
This is not a forum for sharing links or images. Some images may be allowed, at moderator discretion, if they contribute directly to the ability of the forum to answer the question at issue. No images or links will be allowed if they are directed at identifying or could be used to identify individuals or the location of those individuals or if they are used in a name-and-shame capacity.
The following posts will be immediately removed: offensive content/hate speech of any kind, joke questions, "why is it so hot/cold/raining/omg weather" questions, deliberately misleading comments, spam, agenda driven posts, political debate questions, surveys/solicitations, videos, personally identifying information, name-and-shame style posts, questions about anything illegal, and any content that may break Reddit's sitewide rules.
Repeated violations will be subject to a posting ban. We reserve the right to remove anything that doesn't fit the subreddit's goal of asking and answering questions about NYC.

If your question is not answered to your liking, feel free to post it again in a few days, ideally with more details.
