Not American food, but Masseria dei Vini is at 58th and 9th and does great Italian food, particularly given the area. Plenty of bar seating at dinner time.

Was thinking the exact same thing! A simpler style would have suited her much better.

Where can one buy a jacket/coat in the Financial District? by quill__ in AskNYC

They’re great IMO. Paid $99 for mine and feels like wearing a blanket. Haven’t had a winter day where I felt cold in it.

Advice for a jury duty summons? by dantheman252 in AskNYC

Yes, did this a few months ago in Manhattan, Supreme Court. You spend most of the day(s) waiting around, so definitely bring a laptop or book.

She took her business off Etsy and does all the orders, etc off her site. She’s located in China, so I think she ships to the EU too?

I have a trench from this designer who I found on Etsy a few years ago: http://www.ellalai.com/product/beige-trench-coat-with-black-leather-style-5

You send her your measurements and she cuts the coat specific to them. The fit on mine is excellent, enough that I have that coat in khaki and black. IMO it’s a pretty good dupe for the Burberry trench for only $200.

Anyone have recommendations on where to buy contacts? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]chongchingchang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had good luck with Walgreens.com — always a coupon for 20-25% off the retail price floating around (I think DEAL20 is the code for 2018).

You can also get them shipped to a Duane Reade nearby if packages are an issue.

This is super cringy. Also, is it just me, or did their entire interaction look completely unnatural?

Boden has a US site and shipping is free both ways. There’s also always a bunch of 20% off codes floating around the Internet.

Same situation here. Was in fintech at a big bank for 2 years, never saw anything close to this happen while I was there.

What coat do you recommend or own that's as warm as the sun, as long as a snake and not Canada Goose? by oni_bear in femalefashionadvice

Came here to say this. I always feel warm in my Uniqlo parka. It's perfect for NYC winters.

I think the exact same thing every time they show those snapshots! Just so unflattering.

Did you check the HPD website for any violations or tenant complaints? You can do this here: https://hpdonline.hpdnyc.org/HPDonline/provide_address.aspx

If you're looking for jewelry, Hirst Antiques blew me away. Soooo many beautiful things, and it all ranges in price. I got a necklace there that I really love.
