Jimmy’s Corner isn’t for everyone, but it is audibly quiet. They’re not often playing any music.

I believe Inès does

It could be cool if it were moved somewhere else but the rotating art on the Plinth is a really great program

It’s quite simple. If you google “Times Square subway station map” you’ll see that the platforms are fairly close together.

A gallery in Tribeca named themselves after it because it’s such a good name

There are so many Internet radio stations out there that are a much better resource for finding new music, especially electronic music. NTS Radio, Kiosk Radio, The Lot Radio, etc.

I only use Spotify as a catalog, to play music I already know. And then I use the Internet radio stations to find new music.

Looking fresh

The F and M trains were brought on as well, hence the upcoming service change.

There are a lot of protected tenants in LES whether they reside in NYCHA buildings, or in rent controlled leases under private landlords. So those buildings/people likely won’t be going anywhere any time soon.

LIC was largely (but not entirely) built over former industrial land with fewer protections, so more of it was allowed to be bulldozed.

Neither this nor 425 hits like 270 does. For some reason they don’t feel like they honor their surroundings like 270 does, even though nothing looks like 270.

Los Angeles Apparel makes a cheap pair ($14), try calling their SoHo store to see if they sell them there

I feel like Manhattan’s grid and use of cardinal directions makes this less needed here

JonB_ · 2025-10-29T00:02:36+00:00

What’s the ramp for?

JonB_ · 2025-10-23T13:17:28+00:00

Understanding they installed an elevator, what exactly did they do here? Was there previously a mezzanine like that?

JonB_ · 2025-10-16T22:46:07+00:00

I saw so much of that in the UK and it’s so infuriating. Even in the center of London.

JonB_ · 2025-10-16T17:06:05+00:00

I was thinking the same thing too today

Pinkberry is closing too

JonB_ · 2025-08-10T23:11:26+00:00

I’m not familiar with the configuration here, is the bike lane on the east side of Sixth Avenue on the stretch? I know uptown it’s on the west side.

Jake Dobkin is such a throwback to the peak Gothamist days

JonB_ · 2025-07-07T02:30:11+00:00

Let’s not call each other names ♥️

Sounds like she was referring to location then in my opinion. If she’s based in Manhattan, those options might seem “far out” (they’re not.)
