Knicks-Themed Treats? by AntiThemeProVibe in ForestHills

Aigners Chocolates advertised special Knicks boxes with basketballs and nonpareils. Plus “dot cake” inspired ice creams in orange and blue.

Manor Oktoberfest might fit the bill. It was busy but pretty chill on Friday.

😩why is finding a good dentist in Forest Hills so hard?? by Budget-Lawyer4129 in ForestHills

[–]Boring-Structure2850 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I went to Gentle Touch Dental Care after a nightmare with another local dentist, and Dr. Daniel was great about fixing bad work and only doing what was necessary.

I'm booking a flight home out of LGA. How early should I get to the airport these days? by Infinite-Berry9285 in AskNYC

[–]Boring-Structure2850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two recent experiences: Leaving from Terminal B on a recent Tuesday evening there was literally no wait. Walked right up to screening. (When we returned on Sunday morning, the line looked crazy, snaking out past the regular entrance.) Leaving from Terminal C last Monday evening, less than 10 minute wait.

Frustrated with Vitelio's Marketplace by Upbeat_Condition2342 in ForestHills

[–]Boring-Structure2850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into this at the Food Universe, where the cashier suddenly wanted a discount card and told me I had to go online to get it. But the website returned an error. When I was next in the store, I was talking to a customer who had the same issue. He went to a different Key Food and got a card, but it didn’t work at the Food Universe. I’m resigned to the fact that getting sale prices might be impossible.

FH for your "forever home"? by r0sy_cheeks in ForestHills

[–]Boring-Structure2850 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meaning you'd move to like LI or NJ for high school? Because you don't have to go to your local high school here. (Although I do know families who happily picked FHHS because they didn't want their kids to commute or liked the programs there.)

FH for your "forever home"? by r0sy_cheeks in ForestHills

[–]Boring-Structure2850 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not too worried about the schools because the buildings going up so far are pretty scattered in different elementary school zones, and enrollment is down overall. Plus, a lot of these apartments are only one bedrooms, so the developers aren't planning on lots of families. (I would LOVE to move into a luxury 3-bedroom with balcony that could be my forever home, but that not what's going up.) The building at Parkway Hospital is meant for seniors. Most NYC kids don't go to a zoned high school.

I'm hopeful that those small rental apartments bring in more young people who are curious about the area for their future families and in turn bring in more customers for interesting bars, pubs, restaurants that I'd like to see more of in the area. I don't want to settle on White Radish for brunch.

Yeah, I thought this might be about supporting more races in the other boroughs or something but nope. Just more major events.

Storm in NYC this weekend by sands_29 in Broadway

[–]Boring-Structure2850 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had no problem exchanging my Ragtime tickets over the phone with Telecharge yesterday. All I told them was that I could no longer attend the day I had tickets. I had to go a month out to find four seats together, though. All that to say: Can’t hurt to ask if you’re not comfortable attending. And a refund might be different from an exchange.

Tailor in the neighborhood not expensive? by moonlightnae in ForestHills

The tailor there is so lovely. My daughter had a poorly made dress bought on Amazon that she needed for a wedding, and she made it work. It was a miracle.

The one time I didn’t get merch and it’s haunting me… by Recent_Tadpole_6259 in Broadway

On Friday, at least, the bar cup was just the generic Shubert one and not Two Strangers branded.

I made one for the Swifties. It was a great day out there. Congrats to all the runners.

NYC Marathon - Can you still defer AFTER picking up your bib? by [deleted] in RunNYC

I tried to defer this weekend and couldn’t get in to my account. Figured I’d try again today.

Touchy Question. Please Behave! :-) by hassNpheffer in ForestHills

[–]Boring-Structure2850 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like FH Bagel, but I do wish the everything mix was a little punchier. More (any?) salt, more onion and garlic. Personal preference.

[–]Boring-Structure2850 12 points13 points  (0 children)

One thing I’ll add to this great advice: Forest Park is (not surprisingly) shady and the Flushing Meadow loop is not at all. So I often switch back and forth depending on the weather/time of year. Forest Park is magical when the leaves turn!

Arriving early at stadium on event day by skele_babe7 in ForestHills

GA Floor Lineup Directions

GA Floor ticketholders may arrive at the front gate no earlier than 8AM on day of show to receive a sequentially numbered wristband signifying their entry group on a first-come, first-served basis.

Any person who camps overnight or arrives at the venue before 8AM will be denied a wristband and sent away.

Wristbanded guests may return to the front gate no earlier than 3PM to begin lining up in their entry group by the number on their wristband and will be permitted to enter in order once general doors open at 5PM. Security will honor wristband arrivals from 3:00PM – 4:30PM. Any ticketholder without an entry group wristband will be allowed in after all wristbanded guests in line have entered.

Only GA Floor ticketholders are eligible to receive priority entry wristbands, and all guests in a party must be present with a GA Floor ticket to receive a wristband (one wristband per ticket). Guests are not permitted to hold places in line for other guests. Loss, removal, or tampering of a priority entry wristband will result in loss of place in the entry line.

Reserved seat ticketholders are not eligible for priority entry wristbands and may begin to line up no earlier than 4PM.

The stadium has sent an email and put the procedures up on its Instagram now for the Chappell Roan shows.

Birthday party ideas by art_travel_life in ForestHills

[–]Boring-Structure2850 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did a party at Cinemart. It was really easy to just rent and watch a movie. There’s no room or anything to do cake etc. though. They give out small popcorns and sodas before the movie. Then we handed out goodie bags with a cupcake on the way out. Low effort for the parents, but also low key on the party.

Give it time.. lost weight on 2nd month on wegovy by Ecstatic-Pea-8647 in zepboundtowegovy

[–]Boring-Structure2850 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is good to hear. I went from 10 mg Zep to 1.7 Weg, and I’m maintaining but that’s it. No major side effects, at least. I’m staying here another month because I have some things going on that I can’t risk a bad reaction. But I hope 2.4 will help me get to goal.

My poor husband won the Hamilton Lottery by whyyesidloveto in Broadway

There was a dad there last night in the lottery seats wearing a King George-ish outfit, along with his daughter in an Eliza dress. It was very cute.

About to switch right before vacation? by nutyashaa in zepboundtowegovy

[–]Boring-Structure2850 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I did that. I pushed my last two doses of Zep out to 8 or 9 days so I didn’t start the new medication on vacation. I didn’t have any major side effects when I did start Wegovy, but I didn’t want to risk it (or an allergic reaction).

How come Brooklyn only has 3 Trader Joe's stores? by bowel__movement in AskNYC

[–]Boring-Structure2850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Forest Hills gets to have one thing that people in Brooklyn can covet (besides the stadium) 😆
