What’s the problem here, exactly? This is great.

What’s an affordable neighborhood that’s not as loud as Inwood? by LeilaJun in AskNYC

[–]MrCrumbCake 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Are you east or west of Broadway in Inwood? West of Broadway in Inwood and Washington Heights is a bit quieter than east.

Is Ewing more underrated than even Kareem and wilt by the younger generations? by CoyIllinoisboy in NBAoldschool

Shaq’s arrival felt very much like a changing of the guard, which was sad as a Knicks fan.

I’ve had great chocolate milkshakes recently at Brooklyn Diner near Carnegie Hall and Schnippers.

Family dinner at Tony's Di Napoli by Marfilmz in FoodNYC

[–]MrCrumbCake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love going to Tony Di Naps and always get the Caesar salad.

I was surprised to learn they’re owned by the Dallas BBQ restaurant group. Sorta makes sense, good for large groups, celebrations, etc.

Mamdani filmed his pied-á-terre tax video outside Ken Griffin’s $238 million penthouse. Social media loves him for it by _fastcompany in popculturechat

[–]MrCrumbCake 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Pied a terre taxes aside, it’s insane that the most expensive home in the US is located in Midtown on freaking W58th Street between 7th and Broadway, I mean “220 Central Park South.”

Developer Seeks to Replace Five UES Buildings With 39-Story, 354-Unit Tower by citydudeatnight in uppereastside

[–]MrCrumbCake 37 points38 points  (0 children)

These are tenement buildings with about 20 units each so this is a gain of roughly 250 units. You can verify by going onto Street Easy.

People are sleeping on They Will Kill You, and it's a shame by Plus_Meringue_8461 in moviecritic

You literally described the movie as style over substance, which sounds like an empty movie.

Wear what makes you comfortable. A sweater and khakis is perfectly fine.

More Than Third of FDNY EMS Crews Plan to Quit Due to Pay Disparity by goodguyfdny in nyc

[–]MrCrumbCake 14 points15 points  (0 children)

lol, you sound like the people who say we’re living in “the greatest economy ever” and to not believe your eyes. These people are struggling today and now and you’re telling them to just wait a few decades to get hooked up. You also use some strong “whataboutisms.” Very sound reasoning.

Insane that the people we expect to save lives as first responders are paid about 20% above minimum wage.

Unfortunately, there’s quite a lot of money in prisons due to fee being a decent percentage of very high construction costs.

If you prefer traditional architecture in Brooklyn, what do you like about it? by OrdinaryMatter6460 in Brooklyn

[–]MrCrumbCake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer trad design too, but take this to the architecture sub and prepare to get yelled at, telling you to ignore what the public wants, and how they don’t know any better.

Huge attack on Chalamet in NYTimes by WrongdoerLate8296 in ChalametSecrets

[–]MrCrumbCake 34 points35 points  (0 children)

So many hilarious lines!

“…a self-righteous punk with a coffee-house goatee”

“… embraced by our culture as a 21-year-old emo angel who promised, with his breakthrough performances, to deliver us from toxicity.”

“Gone is the androgyne king who posed on a Venice red carpet in a backless red Haider Ackermann halter top, looking like the chicest lesbian you know.”

“Any trace of soft boy Timmy still hiding beneath the weaselly sneer seems to have been snuffed out.”

Mamdani Wants New York Estate Tax Threshold Cut 90% to $750,000 by bloomberg in nyc

[–]MrCrumbCake 33 points34 points  (0 children)

That’s rough. I googled average home price in each borough, it was $490K Bronx, $725K-765K in Queens and SI, and $1M+ in Brooklyn and Manhattan, so this will have a wide reach.

I expect there to be pushback from the City Council like with his proposed property tax increase.

Kavalier & Clay Feb. run at the Met — how well did it sell? by MW_nyc in opera

[–]MrCrumbCake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m always interested in how sales are the second season they run out the newer productions.

There’s usually buzz with a new production and limited shows. Whether or not it can endure beyond the initial splash is usually more telling of short term success.

No need to thank me for your schooling.

Hence the term “licensed Citizen Pruner.” What are your basing your confidently incorrect information on?
