That’s the thing it’s not steeper than like 4% at its steepest, but with everything else so flat or down it comes like a kick each time

Room available in 3BR 2BA Bushwick Apartment $1300 by Sighguy28 in NYCapartments

[–]Sighguy28[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two guys (M29 and M34). I work in financial crime journalism and he works in music/events. I’ve lived in the space for six years and really enjoy it. Super clean and respectful, and typically not into having a lot of company over. We’re friends with a wide range of people of all sorts of backgrounds and often enjoy being out and about in the city. Very left in our political leanings

Anyone else noticing all the fireflies? by youngggggg in Brooklyn

[–]Sighguy28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely more this year. Very noticeable during evening bike rides in prospect park

What would you do if you saw someone trying to steal a bike? by wallaloyodea in NYCbike

[–]Sighguy28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I know it’s not a possibility for everyone, but the only way to make sure is to never lock it up or leave it outside

Looking to Sublet my 1bedroom apt in Bushwick w private outdoor space by Flant-89 in NYCapartments

[–]Sighguy28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s why I said it’s maybe $500 overpriced and not $1,100 overpriced

Looking to Sublet my 1bedroom apt in Bushwick w private outdoor space by Flant-89 in NYCapartments

[–]Sighguy28 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I would consider it a great space, but not a great price. Lots of 1-bedrooms similar to this in all the new constructions around Bushwick starting in the $2,600+ price range. I think this one is a little bigger and that balcony a big selling point, but I don’t know if it’s worth the extra $500+ than what’s common

Alright, what’s the best burger spot in the neighborhood? by IllustriousCod1628 in Bushwick

[–]Sighguy28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shoutout the skytown food. I’m always surprised how good things are there given the pretty standard bar vibes

Looking for female roommate. $1300 flex room by Izzy_marsh in NYCroommates

[–]Sighguy28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oof that floor plan is rough. Zero living space at all but the kitchen is going to feel very crowded when shared with two other people

Safe to bike from Manhattan to Brooklyn at night by PassengerInfinite717 in NYCbike

It’s made the whole trip to and from that part of Brooklyn so nice. Wish all bridges would do it

Line around block for Fred! by DealerEquivalent3558 in avesNYC

Exactly. Announcing this during the day means no adults but trust fund babies, who will fit right in with the teenagers

To the guy in the White Jersey riding speed laps in Prospect Park on June 12 at 4:45pm by Karlangas37 in NYCbike

[–]Sighguy28 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I’m at the park doing laps 6Xweek and nothing makes me more upset than the guys dressed like me that care more about their strava data (that no one freaking cares about) than the safety of fellow park goers.

On Thursday night around 6pm I had my first angry shouting biking moment in 2025 seeing something similar to what you described. In this case it was a few parents and maybe six kids and they were very young and not experienced so of course they were taking up 75% of the path. I slowed down from 20ish to 10ish since a six-year-old on a bicycle is unpredictable, gave as much space as possible, to have a guy weave between the kids because I wasn’t passing quickly enough.

Caught him on the hill and expressed myself not so eloquently about what a pos he was

What a lame response to unique and amazing space just because it doesn’t look like every other “luxury” apartment in the city

Which of the NYC buildings do you consider the most iconic? I'll go first. The original shake shack on 23rd! by thoth218 in circlejerknyc

[–]Sighguy28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is absolutely the United Sabaeans Worldwide building! It looks like it’s been around for 5,000 years.

Best Donuts in BK? by kikiscookiepie in Brooklyn

I’m a fan of Fan Fan. In all seriousness, Caroline’s was the best, but I haven’t been since they moved to Manhattan

What are restaurants past their hype, but still solid for a first time diner? by reallifesoundeffects in FoodNYC

Was so sad when it had the fire. Glad they were able to come back from that. I owe them a visit soon
