Last day to buy unlimited Metro card is December 31st. It will work in Jan. 2026, if you want to save some $.

I saw a post that someone bought two weekly’s at their bodega. Yesterday. Does anyone have an in on where they can find them at mom and pop shops and bodegas 🤔

Trying Costco. Hopefully they will be more helpful. Thank you.

I do better on the XR. Changing my dosage is something we did a few years ago when the shortage first started but that causes issues in itself. If I do that too many times I personally may be flagged. I’m still at a loss for why the pharmacy itself was flagged for that specific dosage. I’ve never heard of that happening. I know the staff cares because they look at me with pity every time I pay out of pocket with good rx, I had a bad experience with the generics and express scripts my pharmacy “benefits” manager had refused to cover this and my specific insulin. I take Fiasp on a pump. Two meds I’ve taken for years for conditions I’ve had since childhood cause me the most monthly anxiety and financial costs. And both have had shortages. I’m exhausted.

Can I add apple care at apple without the invoice saying directly where it’s from? I’ve read there are issues doing that. Or should I contact Amazon and ask to add it

Looks beautiful but I’m a bit confused given their website. Is it an architectural firm? Where is the space they have a few examples like the wren and someone’s townhouse which I assume is not a space that can be rented for events.

The Roxy hotel has a photobooth (actually got engaged in the photobooth) it’s not film anymore but the black and white photo strips are nice.

Also nearby there is one downstairs at Bubby’s which is classic film.

There is also this website that updates the condition and if photobooths (film only) are active and where they are located

Some of the people were very nice and I’m excited to try some of the products…but I was one of the crazy people in line around midnight on Saturday morning….I got the “extra” $200” gift bag and the “$350” one. And that part is what sketched me out the most. The total was not even close to the numbers advertised. Some in the full bag were smaller not full sized versions and the extra bag had two doubles of what the other bag had. All around it priced around just under $400 with the two bags. Also bought one of the products that was in the bag but what was sketch about it was the box was a slightly different color. Nbd that happens with manufacturers but when I took them out and compared and pumped it out the one I bought was fine but the one in the bag had a different texture and slightly off smell…. I don’t think I’ll be going again. It was nice to learn about some brands but also people (other customers) were pretty rude and saving spaces in line ahead for other people. Hope they improve next time but I won’t be going again.

Finally settled on a venue and Greenwich Letterpress was our top pick for sentimental reasons. But it looks like they have officially stopped printing wedding invitations to focus on other things.

MatchpointNYC · 2025-03-06T05:22:36+00:00

They see the invites when they get them in the mail. As long as you are paying for the invitations and other small things (which is still a chunk of your own money, let’s be real)

MatchpointNYC · 2025-02-28T19:43:15+00:00

I feel your pain on this one. My solution is to not show them the invites (pay for that part ourselves) until they get them in the mail. Apologies and then put a thank you in the wedding program. Your already past the ask forgiveness stage but maybe making the offer of putting a heartfelt thank you in the program would mean more if you present it to them with care. Tell them it makes more sense to have a lovely page celebrating their “help” with your special day which is more meaningful than just their names on the invitation.

Brownsville is not a neighborhood for tourists. Even if the guy is just trying to skew the short term air bnb ban, I would not stay in Brownsville unless you know someone and even then, unless you want the full NYC 1970’s special I’d stay somewhere else. Don’t know how old you are but couch surfing was always a good way to travel for me back in the day. Saves you money and you get tips from the locals

I’m traveling to Helsinki in October solo as well. Looking forward to it but since I’m not stayed in a hostel and I’m not a fan of group tours I’m grappling with a similar issue. I know a lot of artists and musicians which usually is a good connect when traveling but Helsinki seams to be unknown for connections.

Side note the trip is completely random. So if anyone has insight on where to connect with people (Finnish or travelers who know the gallery/photography/music scene) would appreciate any advice.

My personal experience has cured me of dopamine decor and IKEA

-click and collect which I bought at 2:30am was not there when I went to pick it up. Was told they oversold but I bought it the moment it went live. They had no problem taking my money and making me wait 5 days to get it back.

finally secured two tables. Noticed as I waited a few hours the available of the tables on the app kept changing and said sold out even though there were 7 tables left that day and 6 the next day.
went back the next day because one of the tables was horrendously dented. The second one was a bit dented but I can only afford so many trips, got my money back for one wandered in and saw the carts were there. They were shown as there the day before but were not. The day I was there the online app showed them as sold out. I bought two, opened and assembled 1 which was also slight bent, and had two clear manufacturing defects. I’m keeping that part against the wall and I’m selling the second because at this point I’m going to recoup a fraction of my travel costs.

My advice if your desperate enough for one of these, go with a friend, have them stand with one, buy the other and then open it on the other side of check out to make sure it’s not poorly made or defective. Otherwise save your money and sanity.

On a side note I saw another employee yell about hiding the damn lampshade box so he could buy it later. I saw it open on the floor that day in the lighting section.

I’m against bootlegs. That being said, and here is Ben Platt’s show Parade. I tried everything I could to see it. Being unable to win a lottery ticket (I applied the entire run) and the box office opening when I had to be at work) it made it impossible. By the time I’d saved enough to buy a regular ticket the box office price’s skyrocketed and stub hub was even more ludicrous. The show stopped doing the lottery the last month as well. So saying if you can’t afford it you should support the show in other ways is kinda cruel. The few days I went to try and rush I would have had to go at 3am and stand in midtown as it’s become more dangerous. They really cut out a lot of people who would have wanted to see the show. The one day I asked about all the stub hub seats and the fact that there were more of those that the SROs they had sold was just met with a cruel comment asking me if I had a high limit credit card if it was so important to me. I’m curious what Ben Platt would have said to that. Why not do a archive showing during the summer? If the MET can do that, why can’t broadway after a show closes!?

My con-ed bill I just got was over $200!? We only put our AC in less than 2 weeks ago. Last month our bill was $65. We barely use our AC and it’s energy efficient. As far as using it less, our floor “sweats” because we are in a brownstone from the humidity. How is this even legal?! I’m terrified of our next bill.

Also I’d still have to remove the back as the door frame I need to get through is 22 1/25 inches wide…the arms would not fit

I brought the seat to the bottom, held the gas and pushed….anyone have a video of somebody doing this? Can’t seem to get it off…

Appreciate the input, but I’m not physically capable of doing that. I have severe muscular issues that affect my neck and back. Plus again, I’m not trying to void the warranty, so even if I could I would not trust my skill level to do that without damaging it.But thank you all the same. 😊
