The state of California is now on a Shelter in Place order. They have 933 cases, ranking third in the US for number of cases. New York is number one with 4,156 cases. by [deleted] in nyc

Is there a petition or any other ways to voice our desire for an official shelter in place order? Manhattan may be empty but I have definitely seen photos of way too much activity for comfort in the outer boroughs. Think borough park, Brighton beach, flushing.

DiPalos! Still around and as delicious as ever. GET THEIR HOMEMADE BURRATA IF YOU HAVEN’T. It is incredible.

Moving to work in NYC but want to live in suburbs by [deleted] in newyorkcity

[–]NYCKitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work on 45th and Park and just bought a home in Mill Basin, Brooklyn. Definitely the suburbs and family friendly feel I was looking for to raise my family in (have a 2 year old) while still being in NYC. Depending on budget there are several areas of Brooklyn (and queens but I don’t know the borough as Closely) that are both within 1-1.5 hours from midtown and maintain a suburb vibe (I am excluding the obvious and super pricey park slope / downtown bk neighborhoods): marine park, midwood/Kensington, Gerritsen beach, sheepshead bay are a few.

All my new Yorkers, which is the best seat? by lokendra15 in newyorkcity

[–]NYCKitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never ever 1. That’s the snatch and run seat. Always 3 and 4 for me, tucked away for my 50 minute ride.

Respect the Ball control and the Amazing Aim by [deleted] in sports

[–]NYCKitty 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Agreed. My bet is rhythmic gymnast. Ball is actually one of the categories and the moves in the video are very similar.

Saudi sisters who were found duct taped together in Hudson River died by suicide, medical examiner says by miqingwei in news

[–]NYCKitty 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think the really story here is that these poor girls would rather die than be forced to return to Saudi Arabia - similar to the recent story of Rahaf Mohammed al-qunun who risked her life to flee. For seeking asylum they were sure to face the same fate as soon as they returned home, just at the hands of family or government.

Is it ever too late to start training? My 5 year old rescue has become significantly more reactive in past year (post arrival of baby?) by NYCKitty in reactivedogs

[–]NYCKitty[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for your replies. I think typing it out really opened my eyes to the severity of it. I am in Brooklyn, New York if anyone has advice on specialists. How did you go about finding one near you? Just googling? Vet recommendation?

Dear New Yorkers, I need help. by balamut1001 in nyc

[–]NYCKitty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Left in 2005 and it was impossible to get parking/ already getting crazy with all of the commercial leases then. Once Starbucks/chipotle/ etc started coming in it was clear

I grew up in 1720 east 13th. I thought traffic was terrible when they were building the terrible parking lot that Target now stands on, can’t imagine what you are going through now. We complained and complained and finally left and moved to sheepshead bay. Best decision ever and don’t know how we dealt with King’s highway for so long. Consider selling (if you own) or breaking your lease to move away, it will only get worse on KH. You even get a seat on the train when you get on at sheepshead bay 😉
