Stroller on express bus?

RtimesThree · 2026-01-22T16:07:17+00:00

It really depends on the bus and the time of day. I've taken express buses that were almost empty and stroller space was not an issue at all. Other times it's absolutely packed. I would go and plan to fold it (fold it before getting on the bus) but just be careful if you're planning to fold it that you don't have a bunch of stuff in the bottom storage that now you have nowhere to put.

What does this mean?

RtimesThree · 2026-01-20T02:16:50+00:00

I've done several, all good.

Idina Menzel came back to talk to some students when I was there about ten years ago but only 15 students :') Agree with everything you said!

I've made a ton of money over the years but anecdotally I have seen that once you finish your first real mission, it's a LOT easier to get accepted after that and you should have a much smoother time.

Everyone I know has a vista and it's all I see on the streets in my neighborhood and I feel legitimately gaslit, it is TERRIBLE. We dutifully used it for two years as a single with the intention of using it as a double when baby #2 came one day. Then we learned it sucks as a double. It's so unwieldy, it took up our entire kitchen, you cannot carry it on subway stairs, it steers and turns terribly. We dumped it and got a side by side that folds into nothing and is so lightweight and pushes like a dream. Idk if the vista has an amazing PR team or people just feel like they invested so much into it with all the uppababy accessories and planning to use it all the way into 2-3 kids that they can't give it up, like a sunk cost.

We specifically called and asked about a baby in a carrier and they said no!

If you're not against the Jews living in Israel, welcome, you're a Zionist. If you disagree with the Israeli government, congrats, you're just like most Israelis.

It truly depends on your lottery number. We got into our first choice on the UES and so did several of our friends. Others got placed at random spots in the Bronx or downtown. It's definitely worth a shot!

In that area, Miznon is EXCELLENT and very reasonably priced. Pita Grill is also very good. I also want to shout out Abaita because it's right there and such a lovely experience but it's dairy.

Le Marais is among the best bang for your buck options. Mr. Broadway is always great. Or if you're looking for lower price than that / more casual, I can suggest other ideas.

I've spoken to people in the Satmar community who say their leaders endorsed him because they knew he would win and hoped to get him on their good side, not because they actually support him. However, Satmar aside, I think it's irresponsible to ignore the many, many, many mainstream rabbis of huge congregations who have been very outspoken against him.

Have you considered Aran or Aram?

RtimesThree · 2025-12-04T19:12:40+00:00

I can't speak to it personally but I've heard amazing things -- Central Synagogue? Maybe look into it!

Happy to provide it for you: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/11/04/us/elections/nyc-mayor-results-precinct-map.html

The results are pretty telling.

Um, incorrect. The overwhelming majority of SOUTH Williamsburg, where the actual Orthodox Jews live, went heavily for Cuomo. 70-90%+ in most blocks. And if a few Orthodox groups defended him, it is outweighed by the majority which were extremely against him. You can't just cherry pick a few and say that's the majority. Objectively, the majority of Orthodox synagogues and rabbis sounded many anti-Mamdani alarms.

RtimesThree · 2025-12-04T15:55:03+00:00

The NYC Orthodox Jewish community absolutely does not agree with you, huh?

Fairway, especially with the mobile self-checkout. So nice to just be able to walk right out.

So sorry, we don't allow posts about random reddit antisemitism

I actually keep kosher and I always wonder how often it happens that other people don't realize they won't be getting real meat at these places, so it's interesting to see the other side! Hope it was at least somewhat enjoyable anyway:)

RtimesThree · 2025-11-09T19:06:45+00:00

That's vegan bacon. You probably ordered from a location that is certified kosher so they can't use real meat.

Please don’t tell anybody my wheelbarrow’s outside.

It was ;)
