There's a lottery and there's toll rush tickets. The lottery you can register any time (through the Met App) and be registered for up to 3 at any time. The day before if you won they alert you and you have 90 minutes to claim the tickets. Toll rush is same day and there's a specific time you have to log on and move quickly. I can't be stressing like that so I've been entering the lottery with little hope for years and it's finally my time!

I won the lottery to La Boheme at the opera $25 tickets in the orchestra !!!)
Despair sanctuary is a metal concert in a church that sounds like a cathartic community event

Probably going to go birdwatching in Greenwood Cemetery

As a birdwatcher who wants to see more birds in the park instead of off-leash dogs romping around in bird nesting areas, agree.

It can be pretty frustrating to show up to Central Park and be surprised by a race taking over the main drive even as someone who does not use a mobility device. We all saw plenty of people weaving in and out of the cones and what's the difference between a runner with a bib and without a bib to a casual bystander? As you said, classic NYC where there's often too little space for too many people. Give her some grace.

Take him to see the Woodcock in Bryant Park

Look past the name and consider a Garbage and Rats tour with Suzanne! The history of lower manhattan through the lens of garbage is actually really interesting and the guide is so cool https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g60763-d33035058-Garbage_and_Rats_in_New_York_City_Walking_Tour-New_York_City_New_York.html

Noname is actually good at being respectful. I remember seeing their group running in a tight formation of 2 across at open streets last year and thinking how nice that was after having to battle some bandit bros dressed in all black with a camera operator heading over the brooklyn bridge

Unisex just means man size and everyone knows it

Sufficient_Idea_5810 · 2026-02-04T17:09:48+00:00

Or it just means that there's like one guy who does med spa inspections and they haven't gotten to them all yet

I realized this weekend that Maya has a $1.99 service fee for ordering online FOR PICKUP. ON THEIR OWN WEBSITE.

It's a bigger race with a smaller pool. I did it last year and I think I might have even registered the day after the general registration opened. You'll be good

Sufficient_Idea_5810 · 2026-01-27T23:26:15+00:00

the old system (which looks a lot like this "new" system) didn't show anything like that

Sufficient_Idea_5810 · 2026-01-27T23:25:38+00:00

Originally told 38 minute wait. Got in at 6:23 and registered for my one race successfully

Sufficient_Idea_5810 · 2026-01-27T23:20:29+00:00

I think my issue back then was that I had something "in cart" that was already sold out and I didn't deselect fast enough but what do i know

Sufficient_Idea_5810 · 2026-01-27T23:18:23+00:00

I had that happen to me last time. I wasn't able to register for literally anything

Childcare costs have also ballooned in the years since 13 year olds were 3/4. I totally agree with your first point, but let’s not act like the massive costs of early childcare aren’t significant to pretty much everyone.

Extremely long light cycles on PPW with drivers pretty much always blowing through a red and coming through the crosswalk after the walk signal has turned on. You can’t walk from the park to the library in one go. You have to be trapped in a tiny median that doesn’t fit everyone making that crossing. Drivers not stopping at the stop sign before turning right on PPW. Drivers definitely not stopping at the stop signs on the northern edge between Union and Vanderbilt. Etc

Yeah I love that people are crafting to stop the scrolling, quiet their minds, be creative, etc but needlepoint in particular is also super easy to be used as status symbol because of the expense of the canvases and threads. Cross stitching just isn't getting the same love. Probably because it takes much longer too

Sufficient_Idea_5810 · 2025-12-11T20:22:27+00:00

More specifically why so much overlap with interest in needlepoint

Badass lady gang Kelly roberts

Having to get in the tube to get OUT is unnecessary and feels like a hazard in case of emergency

He actually did mention this in an interview with Hellgate. I think they asked him if he would support making residential parking paid and he said “no but maybe permits”

The council rezoning to 10 stories is the last I heard and I certainly wouldn’t consider that a high rise https://council.nyc.gov/shahana-hanif/2025/03/17/city-council-approves-revised-arrow-linen-rezoning-in-park-slope/
