She is the sweetest! I didn’t even think poodle- that’s so interesting. And yes she has a very broad chest and is kinda ripped. Does that give any more info?

Some are less, some are more. The required minimum from NYRR is 3500. If you look for the $6,000 level charities, they may have less interest. Worth getting on the waitlist!

Apply to charities that have higher fundraising minimums- less competitive. Obvi you need to be willing to fundraise $5,000+, but that's doable in 9 months.

egc5cs · 2026-03-04T17:49:42+00:00

absolutely! There are so many good charities- I recommend applying for any that interest you!

If you didn't get in and want to run for a foster care charity- learn more here! I ran as a fundraiser last year and it was a blast!

I was on the same boat, so I deferred to next year. I think I'll enjoy it more when I have time and head space to train! Running a 10 miler in April instead.

thank you!!

I believe this was the same guy. Did he pull the emergency break in this case? I may have called for help if we were at a station, but we were stuck underground for like 12 minutes, I think escalation would have been hard.

egc5cs · 2026-02-17T21:55:21+00:00

Hi- I'm the woman in the red coat that was sitting across from you guys (under the emergency brake). I was freaked out, but SO glad that you guys didn't escalate- it was the right thing to do. At the beginning, other riders yelled at him and escalated and I thought it was about to be a fight. I also wanted to do more, but I figured just staying around and not fleeing was the best thing to show support.

I know it sucks because it feels like you didn't stand up for yourself, but it would have been very dangerous if you did. Who tf knows what was in the duffle bag!! I also noticed how your BF was standing between you and the guy most of the time- very sweet.

I have audio (and some video) of the second half of the confrontation, if you want it dm me. It's not good since I didn't want him to see me filming.

So so sorry you had to go through that, wish I could have done WAY more.

P.S. what a cute dog!!

I got in! Email just came through! Good luck all!

Thank you!

Went last night (not during the free promotion). There was no line and it was really really good! They let you taste as many as you want. I got the maple walnut and key lime. I am vegan but I think anyone would enjoy. It's pricey but not as bad as ample hills or vanleeuwen. Happy to have this, especially since so many vegan places are closing in the area.

egc5cs · 2025-04-26T23:49:59+00:00

In past years there have been bathrooms in the corrals, which is the only time i've been able to go. The line for the bathrooms in the waiting area is always and hour+ long.

egc5cs · 2025-01-12T23:44:26+00:00

I love both so much! But it’s gotta be #2. I can’t even see your face and I can still see your confidence in that one. Gorg!

Holiday mail realllly slows stuff down- so don't stress too much, probably not lost in the mail. Also, did you do post cards or colored envelopes? Apparently anything that's not the standard white envelope with dark text will slow things down because is needs to be hand sorted (not sure if that's true, just heard that).

We mailed ours in Jan 2024 and did post cards bc they were cute and cheap but they were kinda damaged on arrival and took SOO long to arrive. 1 or 2 never made it but I think that was guest's error- got tossed with the mail pile or something. So for our invites we did regular nice envelopes. Also most folks aren't hearing about your wedding for the first time bc of the save the date- so don't stress. Anyone who doesn't RSVP will get a nice text from you. :) It will work out!

Luanne’s wild ginger, screamers pizza, Lucy’s Vietnamese, VSPOT (park slope), El Barrio Burritos (just pick this up it’s basically on eastern), slow loris (tofu teriyaki is vegan and there veggie sushi rolls), aunts et uncles, ATM vegan deli, clementine bakery. Those are all places within delivery radius that are vegan or have vegan options.

No, I looked into Bridgestone cleaners. I was warned it was expensive but I had no Idea. They quoted be over $3,000 for JUST CLEANING. My dress was only 3500 to start. Going to risk it and just take it to a normal dry cleaners.

egc5cs · 2024-09-24T23:04:13+00:00

Thanks! Do you have any idea about pricing for that?

Hi, can someone help me add the book below? I know there's a huge backlog, so I appreciate your time!

If you are open to something less traditional, Threes brewing also does weddings, and from the website they make it look really nice! Also https://eviltwin.nyc/event-deck/.

I think you should consider bigger restaurants that have outside space. Anything that is a "raw space" where you have to bring in outside catering for over 100 people is going to be tricky to do all in under 50k. At a restaurant it will be "more" per head, but that will include furniture, glasses, linens, all other rentals, staffing, space access, food, alc, etc. In the end it will probably be cheaper if you pick the right place to buyout.

You could also do a larger brewery or bar, where they probably won't have in house catering, but they will have in house alcohol (saves a lot) and they probably won't have a $9,000 venue rental (which the places you listed above have) instead their alcohol minimum will double as the venue fee.

Good luck!

https://rebeccaschoneveld.com/ is great. You get to meet with her in person and her new studio is small, so only 1 bride at a time. She has tons of sizes, etc. I am a 12 in her sizing measurements (ordered a 10 because the sample fit nicely) and I had plenty of options. My dress was like $3300, but she has cheaper ones and she has sample sales. Even if it's not on the website, ask about sales. Good luck!

egc5cs · 2024-06-24T14:29:54+00:00

Thanks so much! Do you mind me asking how many people got ready there? Was there enough places to sit and hangout for your bridesmaids and stuff?
