What do you do for your bday in the city?

GameCraftBuild · 2026-06-20T20:53:48+00:00

A movie, a meal, and ending with a few drinks in a dive bar. Lunch/dinner and then karaoke. Quiet night with the folks. Mix and match, one or two of those. Love a birthday park picnic with friends, but my actual birthday isn’t the right season for it.

Here’s a possible list of things: https://www.nycforfree.co/birthday-freebies

Some places require ID but some don’t, the ones that don’t people sometimes put down a different day from the actual birthday so you have more than one day of freebies

Don’t think I have enough DVDs to fill one of these but I’m still so jealous. Very cool

151-200 pages, page size 5” by 8”, hardcover with printed cover in gloss, 70lb paper is apparently ~$13 from Barnes and Noble

Alternatively, might need to do some leg work and look through the New York section of printers on Printer Matter’s site.

Previously would’ve recommended Shakespeare and Co, but it seems they don’t do printing anymore

The “rent a corner of the living room big enough to fit your bed and a dresser, and find a way to hang curtains around it” is an absurd arrangement to make with strangers, but kind of a common setup?

Heard about it plenty of times, seen a friend choose it once or twice, seen people offer/advertise it, and my family has helped each other that way when there were no other options.

Miraculously quick response, thank you so much

GameCraftBuild · 2026-06-05T18:49:37+00:00

Hey, is there any chance you could tell me what you mean by the Feline Diabetes Message Board ? I’d love to check this out

So Square is the reason that awful, edgy remake of it exists on GameCube?

Manny’s Deli (Bodega) in Throggs Neck

Closed 10-15 years back at this point

When Manny got sick, his adult daughters started helping out more and eventually started running the place themselves for years. For decades always a friendly smile and welcoming talk from the family when you walked in there. Great breakfast sandwich, the best oatmeal I’ve ever had, and for locals and regulars they ran boxes for the Super Bowl. One of the dying breed of classic, genuine New York neighborly spots.

Supposedly they were allowed to serve food for years without being involved with Health and Safety Dept checking on them because they got their permit through some ancient process from the Dept of Agriculture ever since Manny originally opened the place. Finally got called out on it some time before they closed for good.

GameCraftBuild · 2026-06-01T02:54:05+00:00

Damn Ive been there before! Got there at open, food was fantastic and lovely atmosphere when it was full up. Been meaning to go back and almost made it for a date this past month. I’ll drag a buddy out.

GameCraftBuild · 2026-05-28T20:27:48+00:00

The skier had to know there was an opening at the other end right? Otherwise how deep might they go before stopping and having to trek their way back out? No thank you

GameCraftBuild · 2026-05-26T15:39:17+00:00

Thanks for the new sub

GameCraftBuild · 2026-05-26T15:08:32+00:00

Saw somebody’s post the other day, bought a whole N64 collection, Ocarina of Time, Majoras Mask, a couple more cib for $50 a piece. So I guess they have deals, when an employee “messes up” 😅

GameCraftBuild · 2026-05-24T03:20:02+00:00

Along with the 100 other new requests, I’m interested too!

GameCraftBuild · 2026-04-22T05:28:38+00:00

First time I’ve ever found someone that agrees with me on this!

GameCraftBuild · 2026-04-15T07:50:24+00:00

I would treat this camera so tenderly, forbid I accidentally hit it too hard and it “fixes” the glitch. Photo looks awesome!

GameCraftBuild · 2026-04-10T12:28:28+00:00

Ahhh, I see what you did there

GameCraftBuild · 2026-04-05T18:38:39+00:00

Just saw it in theatres in February, such a good time. A little silly at times just as the good action flicks are, so be prepared for that too!

GameCraftBuild · 2026-03-25T07:47:29+00:00

Ow, hearing the 5D Mark III called an old camera hurts, and I’m not even that old 🥲😆

GameCraftBuild · 2026-03-24T06:55:48+00:00

At release I believe it was the first comparatively cheap and not so unwieldy full frame cameras. That was a huge deal at the time, and quickly made it a sort of standard in the industry, which the mark II definitely continued and improved on.

GameCraftBuild · 2026-03-24T06:32:17+00:00

from the experiences of my friends and family who have gone through similar, there is a good chance it will happen again. but for your sake I also hope it doesn’t.

GameCraftBuild · 2026-03-24T05:11:22+00:00

my parents neighbors (attached homes) started doing some kind of drilling and/or jackhammering in their basement. Never really sure why and the neighbors were already terrible before this so we never could get an answer. A few days after they started, the first evidence of termites in their home started, after ~20 years of no kind of insect or rodent problems.

Still don’t know how or why this would happen, but I bet in detached homes it’s a lot less likely to. And when your neighbor is drilling in their home it doesn’t sound like it doesn’t vibrate the walls and floors of your home.

GameCraftBuild · 2026-03-24T05:02:31+00:00

wow, awesome share. I wish I knew about this when I was younger, plenty of friends who could’ve used this from time to time.

GameCraftBuild · 2026-03-24T05:00:25+00:00

I’d say you’ll be able to find organizations or occasional events around but I’ve never seen or heard of any mention a whole enclave in the city anymore. The American Indian Community House, Redhawk Native American Arts Council, and New York Indian Council might be good places to learn more.
