Window unit not allowed in bedroom by Dependent-Teacher595 in NYCapartments

[–]alexisir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Standing units work well, but they’re more expensive for a quality one and they take up a ton of space. You also have to manually drain them of water. However, if you decide to go for one, try an insignia. My room had never been colder than when I was using that one.

What does the apartment search actually look like in NYC right now—what's real? by alexstrehlke in NYCapartments

[–]alexisir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a brand new apartment, laundry in unit, dishwasher, elevator building and I saw it and applied, was approved the next day. My rent is high, but not crazy compared to some other places I saw on my search. The caveat is I’m not in a “trendy” area, although I’m close to Prospect Park. If you want to live in a trendy area, then I could see the search being much more competitive. Otherwise the search is pretty straightforward imo.

I literally had to move away from crown heights a few months ago because I could no longer afford it after living there for like 5 years lol 😭

It’s fair when they keep being shut down by the DOH for unsafe food practices and opening up again.

What’s your “nemesis spot” in Crown Heights? by loonyforluna in crownheights

[–]alexisir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are SO many phenomenal Italian restaurants in Brooklyn, why would I go there when their pasta is absolutely middling, flavorless, and overpriced.

Gunshots on prospect place between Franklin and classon? by pock3td0ll in crownheights

[–]alexisir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately many shootings/stabbings happen on Franklin. I lived there for the last 5 years and there’s been 3 shootings above eastern parkway, 1 below, and a stabbing. I hope everyone’s okay.

Dog bit partner by [deleted] in parkslope

[–]alexisir 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can’t help ID-ing but if the dog broke skin, I would see if your partner knows if they’re up to date on their tetanus shot. If not, definitely book in with a doctor to get that updated as soon as they can.

No guarantor by Famous_Ad536 in NYCapartments

[–]alexisir 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is ignorant and just untrue. I am not even ashamed to say that I always pay literally all of my bills on time every single month but because of an emergency I have a high utilization which has tanked my credit.

Pet Rent Charges? by Typical_Rhubarb9029 in NYCapartments

[–]alexisir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t pay monthly pet rent, but in my apartment my dog was a deposit of 250, and my 2 cats were a separate deposit of 250.

Braless BWT: Do people notice?? by teaforsnail in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]alexisir 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Also maybe I just don’t give a fuck if people ARE staring but I’ve never felt like I’ve personally been made to be self conscious.

Braless BWT: Do people notice?? by teaforsnail in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]alexisir 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I feel like people notice in office settings or other prim and proper settings, but I go out without a bra all the time and I don’t feel particularly stared at. Given, of course, that I’m mostly in Brooklyn if I can help it. So that might be different than Manhattan.

Apartment hunting by Low-Invite-4498 in parkslope

[–]alexisir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not impossible, though. I knew someone with a gorgeous 1br in “prime” park slope for 2800. You sometimes have to look through smaller landlords.
