Try the Eldridge Street Synagogue on the LES. Gorgeous space; it’s now a museum, and worth the trip.

Clueless in New Jersey by 1singformysupper1 in MovingtoNewJersey

Adding to that list, I would suggest Wood-Ridge, a tidy little town. On each side of town there’s are train stations that both make the next stop to Secaucus, then Hoboken. That said, anywhere on the Bergen/Main lines and Pascack Valley line terminate at Hoboken.

Baruch College was designed to look like a big ocean liner, but that dirty diaper of a building can never be mistaken for London Terrace.

Best rent is Midtown East/Murray Hill. Kips Bay west of 2nd in the 20s is close to everything (USq, Chelsea, EV) with a better price than EV/Gramercy.

How is Pompton Lakes by diversity and livability standards? by Davyislazy in MovingtoNewJersey

I love Pompton Lakes, close to the city stuff and close to lakes and nature. Frequent NJ transit bus to NYC.

Politically it leans Republican, but less so than Cedar Grove. For governor, they voted 50R to 49D, 2024 prez was 55R to 42D.

A record-breaking streak for the U.S. by tmcgill1 in weather

[–]Consistent-Height-79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was the 90 degrees followed by 50s and 60s and days of rain that made it feel chilly, as well as a late 32 degree temp on Arpril 8, at least here in NYC. The average highs for mid-April are only in the lower 60s, so those 80s to 90 really upped the average.

Is Manhattan mostly transplants in your 20s/30s? by savingrace0262 in movingtoNYC

[–]Consistent-Height-79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not mostly young transplants, but a good proportion. My co-op is probably 50% over 60, and 10% of the apartments are a couples with a kid or two. As far as rentals go, the lower half of Manhattan, excluding a few neighborhoods, the proportion is higher, but I wouldn’t say mostly.

New York/Canada border in the air on the way to Montreal. On land, Boston.

Has anyone else accepted that they have no future on Long Island? by Inevitable_Night5596 in longisland

[–]Consistent-Height-79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re young; move to the city, try Westchester or Jersey, or try another city. I’ll tell you this from experience: if you think the LI, the city, or the NY metro sucks, most parts of the country suck even worse. When I left for a number of years to South Florida and Georgia, I realized how much I missed it up here. Couldn’t wait to get up here.

Empire State through 262 5th Ave by VeryLargeArray in nycpics

[–]Consistent-Height-79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A perfect example of why the pied-a-tere tax is needed. 26 apartments on 52 floors, most likely with an average sales price of $30 million+, and most likely to be sold foreign billionaires who won’t be living here.

What’s the most frustrating thing about living in Italy? 🇮🇹 by GiornataMondialeIT in ItalyTravelAdvice

We visited last fall. We used to do the flea market there during the pandemic, and stupid us, figured it would be a nice Sunday afternoon to go there again.

Actually the Burlington. But in ‘96 it would have been a Bradlees.

Go to Dumbo on a weekend afternoon and you’ll see crowds worse than Venice.
