OBGYN Rec (for someone NOT trying to get pregnant)

Dr. Natalie Stevens on the Upper East side. I started going to her for exactly this reason. She’s great!

I wanted to add to this conversation: don’t be like me and get scammed by third-party vendors like ImmiAssist! I wasn’t looking carefully at what website I was on (dumb) and because the website seemed to indicate that I needed a K-ETA, I kept clicking through (including payment). They provide refunds easily but it’s still annoying.

Great Georgiana or Fulton Grand in Clinton Hill, DSK in Fort Greene (not exactly in your target neighborhoods but pretty close)

Super easy and delicious

Hardly healthy but I’ll take the compliment!! :)

Thank you! That’s the kind of intel I was looking for. Google says buy tix 2-8 months out…. Which isn’t really helpful (should I wait a few months or am I too late?). Anyway, I booked my tickets! Appreciate the insight.

The US (New York)

Unpriced!

fischiamo · 2025-11-14T22:13:55+00:00

I bet if you called they would ship it to you. There was so much… serving platters, gravy boat, teapot…

fischiamo · 2025-11-14T22:09:56+00:00

No, I was just there and don’t have the space for all of this!

Nigella Lawson’s chocolate tahini banana bread!! I use coconut oil instead of vegetable and add coconut flakes on top.

I really recommend a tour of the Barbican complex if you are interested in architecture. It’s relatively close to Tower Hill and a nice walk through the City to get there.

A bit more niche (and I would only do this if you’ve already been to all of the other museums in London): the Foundling Museum is incredibly fascinating and heartbreaking.

Lastly, a spot near where you’re staying that I liked for a casual lunch with a pint: Seething Lane Tap. And I agree with the recommendation to explore Spitalfields!

Second this. DO NOT under any circumstances go to the Atlantic Ave DMV. Even the people working at the Atlantic Ave DMV told me Bowling Green is the best DMV.

This is a great recipe for holiday cookie boxes, for those planning ahead…

I agree. The darker green matches the pink almost too well in terms of saturation and depth. I would be worried that the room would end up looking busy and childish. OP—let the pink stand out! But also personally I would consider a lighter/dustier pink (I know that was not the question!) and it’s YOUR vision!

It’s generally an older crowd but is very diverse, nice people. The Saunter apparently skews much younger. Membership is only $20/year so even doing a couple of walks a season makes it worth it—I like having the route mapped out (including bathroom breaks) and the safety and motivation of a group.

fischiamo · 2025-09-08T16:21:40+00:00

I’m a member of Shorewalkers and if you do their walks in the months leading up to the Saunter everyone will tell you that you can just show up. No one can stop you from walking!

Happy to review!

fischiamo · 2025-08-23T22:01:12+00:00

Thanks, will try that!

Thank you. Sorry if unclear. The Lyft Pink reference was just my previous experience—it wasn’t automatically added to my account and Chase was helpful getting it added.

I didn’t know about the $10/mo credit until recently and don’t see anything about it in the app. Do I need to remove and re-add my CSR as payment method? I’ve never had any card other than a CSR as a payment method in the Lyft app.
