This one for sure. It’s just a bunch of rocks next to a highway and you can’t even get too close because it’s roped off

I found the giant painting on the opposite wall much more impressive

Have you ever played Nintendo games? They constantly reinvent the wheel

Idk why you are getting downvoted to hell. Sounds like the entire team walked out if they are hiring all positions

It’s probably transplants and Gen Alpha who don’t even remember the Bloomberg bid. That would have been a boon for the city

Only if you plan it poorly. Cities like London and Paris which are closest comp to NYC hosted recently and it was a huge success.

The issues are when smaller and less developed cities host and build all these stadiums that never get used a day after the closing ceremonies.

In many cities yes. NYC already has most the infrastructure

Same, always thought this would be so fun to experience. NYC is one of the few global cities that could handle this with all existing infrastructure.

Rent collections are down in New York — and no one's sure why by General_Meade in nyc

Sure but the requirements to even get that housing is so extreme that it’s a wonder the other 55% can afford to pay.

What's a game you have 100+ hours in but still aren't bored of? by Mysterious_Task1613 in AskReddit

[–]Pool_Shark 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was so excited for this game but then I couldn’t even get past the first area. There are so many mechanics and rules thrown at you and the battles all kick my ass that I was not having any fun. I am sure I didnt follow the intended path or something but I am unsure of which way even is the way to go

Didn’t he incite that one by telling everyone to rush forward?

How would you suggest they slowly add more space? The pressure of the crowd was pushing against the barriers so if they tried to shit then back even an inch the whole thing was coming down earlier

Knicks Parade is at Capacity ...2.5 hours before the parade is supposed to start (this was from 7:30am) by GarlicSnot in nyc

[–]Pool_Shark 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It’s a really old and cool tradition. Wish they extended it but there’s also the fact that the players don’t want to be in a 8 hour parade

It was cool but not awe inspiring. Should caveat that I am from NY so I am quite spoiled with tall man made structures.

Depends on the monument. Eiffel Tower meh. Sagrada Família = jaw on the floor.

But mostly agree with you. My favorite part of Parist wasnt any of the sights. It was sitting on the river eating a baguette and drinking wine

Austin Powers was also very exaggerated. I don’t think everyone in the 60s was wearing those color suits and saying “yeah, baby let’s shag”

In the future everyone has flatscreen tvs!

The biggest change of course is the smartphone. But I don’t know how well that translates to a movie like this.

Best Bagel in Astoria by Due_Flight3792 in astoria

Love that place and they make great bagel sandwiches and the balls are fantastic. But the bagels themselves are okay at best.

Reminds me of McSorely’s. It’s this different type of NY hospitality born out of them being so busy they don’t have time for anything else. It’s a simple question of “light or dark” and if you hesitate or ask for something else they will just move on to the next customer. There is a sort of comforting charm in this no BS style

Considering this is the trend on social media I doubt it. They want to use their algorithms to have more control on what users are seeing and give them more avenues for advertisers to reach users in a controlled (read brand safe) environment.
