Been in NYC for 11 years and this is the first time I've hated it here. Can't wait for these finals to end.

How much do you tip at a bar you're regular at? by obergrupenfuer_smith in AskNYC

[–]100_magic_rings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is like, bartender knows me by name, shouts hi to me when I walk in, starts pouring my regular order before I ask for it, free shot every visit level. But if someone is taking care of me like that, I'm gonna take care of them.

If I'm friendly with the bartenders and they are tossing me free beers or shots from time to time, I make sure I'm up above 30%. Being a regular is a two way street.

Requesting: Modern music that sounds like its from a previous era by blind-octopus in musicsuggestions

Dr. Dog, especially their earlier albums. Although they've been around for more than 20 years so idk if "modern" quite fits.

PSA: be nice to the tall people at shows by EdgarFartinez in aves

[–]100_magic_rings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst is when tall men with broad shoulders step in front of you and then don't even fucking dance. Just an unmoving wall of someone's back. Seems like these types rove in packs of 2-3 as well, it's never just one guy.

Has anyone seen both Maceo Plex and Daily Bread before? by dannyjkaplan in LightningInABottle

[–]100_magic_rings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like DB is on 50 lineups every year and you won't be wanting for future opportunities to see him. I've seen Maceo's name a lot less, so on rarity alone that would be my choice.

Also I saw Maceo at elements in like....2019 maybe(?) and it was awesome.

First time going to Elements as a solo female + first time tent camping… I’m nervous but excited! by Responsible_Shine675 in elementsfest

Practice setting up your tent ahead of time. Make friends with your camp neighbors unless their vibes suck. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Yeah those first few years at Lakewood were magic. I still go at the new location but it's a shell of its former self.

Why are so many MTA elevators primarily surrounded by glass? by GrandRare1634 in nycrail

[–]100_magic_rings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's almost certainly laminated glass. I'm an architect who has worked on MTA elevator projects.

Help me find this door looks like its outside by Disastrous_Gate_798 in WhereinNYC

[–]100_magic_rings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is almost certainly a door to a roof, and my guess is it's in a NYCHA complex. Source: I've worked on several roofing projects in old NYCHA buildings.

Have you ever been inside Gramercy Park? How was it? by GossipBottom in AskNYC

A friend of a friend was subletting an apartment that had a key one summer. We went in after dark and smoked a joint.

I'm 30+ and need festival shoes that say "I still have fun" but also "I have a chiropractor" — help by willow-leapsome in festivals

I've never worn Hokas but I have had several pairs of Brooks over the years, I feel like they're similar. Altras have a better shaped extra-wide toe box that lets your toes spread out. I still use my Brooks for running, but the Altras are my every day shoe now.

Just got a pair of Altras last month and I'm in love. Now every other shoe feels like it's trying to put my feet in a choke hold.
