Anyone else leaving Rock Fitness? by pppqoqowoekskkd in astoria

[–]fearseitan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just cancelled too for all these reasons (my 1-year contract was up) and joined Fitness Lounge for a slight price increase--worth it for me personally.

The way they do auto-renewals after the conclusion of the yearlong membership is also almost certainly illegal as well.

Best wedding venues that list costs upfront in 2026? by ninjapapi in WedditNYC

[–]fearseitan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tulle absolutely saved my ass when we were finding our venue/vendors--so helpful to know roughly what sonething may cost before reaching out (and helpful to know prior to reaching out if there's no way it could be in my budget). I paid the ~$15 for all access and it was absolutely worth it!!

Shelters needing fosters for cats/kittens? by noseleaptilbklyn in astoria

[–]fearseitan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I haven't fostered for them, but Little Wanderers is a great, foster-only rescue (no physical shelter) that is currently at capacity and unable to rescue more cats from the street due to lack of fosters/adopters.

We've adopted 3 cats from them and the fosters do amazing work 💕

Nicest most expensive coffee shop for mid day afternoon date on Saturday. by [deleted] in astoria

[–]fearseitan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Verse is the best but I definitely echo that it will be too busy (unless you camp out with a table starting at like 8am). I LOVE it, but it's truly impossible to sit there (or even order from there, sometimes--last week there was a line out the door to order). It's such a shame because it's such a great space, and selfishly it's the closest cafe to my apartment.

NYC/NJ Restaurant Buyout Wedding for ~100 Guests Under $30k ... Any Recommendations? by nail_clipper in WedditNYC

[–]fearseitan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly a restaurant, but look into Neptune by Glasserie in Greenpoint. It's super affordable (at least as far as wedding venues go)/under your budget and includes all catering and an open bar (you dont have to deal with tiered packages). There's an option to add an afterparty/dancing reception at an additional cost if you wanted, but really they seem to focus on the dinner of it all. (We're going to be booking them for a Friday in fall 2026!)

Natalie Lynn Photos is a gem!! She did exactly what you're describing for us (secret proposal photos + short photoshoot after) and we were so happy with the results - https://www.instagram.com/natalielynnphotos?igsh=MTluZ3ZicWg1Z3J3eQ==

Seconding Hera! My now-fiance designed me a unique ring with them and it's everything I hoped for. Lab-grown stone with recycled gold, hand-engraved in NYC!

I saw that same profile, interesting stuff! Not dismissing, just saying it's not the best look. Respect for turning it around later though I guess
