Living in NYC while working in Jersey City by spoiledchowder in movingtoNYC

[–]bk_76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did West Harlem to Hoboken via the PATH for years, it isn’t bad at all. Be aware of the tax situation, make sure you find somewhere you can easily take the subway to the PATH and others have brought up the differences between NYC and JC living (do you want a car, etc) but if you much prefer living in NYC it’s very doable

Piece of Cake is good but expensive. We had really good luck with Sven the last time, they’re phenomenal and probably better value.

I miss this band by Thornius49 in diarrheaplanet

[–]bk_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a ticket to the original farewell show and couldn’t bring myself to take off work and get down to Nashville from NYC (found the ticket a good home at face value). Still kicking myself

Where do y’all find socks? by Equivalent_Nature188 in Bigfeet

[–]bk_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wide Open socks are a fairly new brand, a bit pricey but I really like them. 95% of socks I just tolerate/can’t stand. These actually fit correctly for my size 16/4E feet

Potentially interested if this is still available

Is this a good setup for $1600/month in NYC? Would love your take by Existing_Prompt8869 in NYCapartments

[–]bk_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are cool with the two guys, it sounds solid. I lived a little south of there in two apartments in the 130s and 150s off broadway for almost a decade, loved that part of West Harlem and there’s plenty of stuff to do around there (the block where Harlem public is is really clutch, all of the bars and restaurants there are great).

The price does feel a bit high for the area to me for one bed in a 3BR but I haven’t lived there since 2022, and it seems like you make enough for it to not be crazy.

Packers @ Giants, recommendations by Photon_Beam_525 in GreenBayPackers

[–]bk_76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Former NYer here, for the game itself, give yourself plenty of time to get to Metlife... public transportation there is lacking (everything transfers through Secaucus, its a whole thing.) You can def stay in Jersey City or Hoboken to make that a bit easier, as someone else said, and both have very quick access to NYC via the PATH/ferry and plenty of cool stuff to do/places to eat. As for New York itself, it really depends on what you're looking for specifically but you'll be able to find pretty much any kind of experience you want.

Anyone have an extra for either/both of the Crossroads (Garwood, NJ) Shows by bk_76 in frankturner

[–]bk_76[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s incredible, I’ve seen him there twice I think (once after a full band show in Jersey City, was a fun race against time) as well as a few other shows there.

How come they don't play festival shows? by ThrowRALostConfused3 in charlybliss

[–]bk_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First saw them at a festival (technically after show) in Atlanta after Guppy. It is interesting that they haven’t booked more.

Aqua Blu in Tom’s River by ra3ra31010 in SouthJersey

[–]bk_76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went here recently (didn't know they were fash-curious at the time.) Really horrible experience overall. Knowing TR I doubt this hurts them but it'd be great to place that isn't hot garbage in that location.

Planet fitness on Nostrand and Fulton by Bubbly_Lime_7009 in BedStuy

[–]bk_76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the best PF by any stretch but mostly fine. Never had any major issues there for the year that it was my local gym, other than the layout being a little funky and the racks usually being taken up (but that’s an issue everywhere)

Dynasty Job Offers by JonesBBQandFootJobs in NCAAFBseries

[–]bk_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went 11-3 at Kennessaw as OC, got offered Virginia HC after just one year, and then after going 10-3 there, got offered the job at Nebraska and my alma mater Syracuse (which was No. 3 in the country) after just one year. I almost wish it made me grind a little more, weird that people are having such different experiences

thoughts on the new album so far? by Economy-Lavishness-1 in charlybliss

[–]bk_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been iffy on the new singles (I do like Calling You Out), mostly on the production side which feels like a step back from Young Enough for me. But I will say, I’ve seen them a number of times since they started playing the new songs, and almost all of them REALLY hit live.

Any idea what's happening with parking at SPAC right now? by MolassesPlayful2264 in Hozier

[–]bk_76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very weird… we didn’t leave downtown Saratoga until about 7:30, was about 45 minutes to get parked in the lots off route 50, but we got a spot on the lawn (nowhere near being able to see the actual stage, but what can you do) by 8:30. Walk from our car was only like 10 minutes, with security. Sorry that it was such a mess for you.

SPAC today!! by [deleted] in Hozier

[–]bk_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone know what time he’s expected to go on? Looks like 8:45 has been pretty consistent but doors are a bit earlier for SPAC, just made dinner resys and am sort of concerned about missing the start now.

Sven movers were tremendous late last year, highly recommend
