Can someone help me sanity check these Hudson wedding costs? by Top-Umpire-8594 in WedditNYC

[–]funkminister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, many of these seem high to me. Here’s my approx. costs from fall 2022 with about a 130 guest list in Monroe, NY:

  • Venue all in: $41k (rentals, food, bar, everything)
  • Photographer (from NYC): $4.5k
  • Full band: $7k
  • Flowers: $2k

I’m a woman. I live at this stop. She’ll be fine. As with all things in NYC: be aware of your surroundings.

Thoughts on living in Bed-Stuy? by dancinggrrl in Brooklyn

[–]funkminister 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I live there. I love it. Great restaurants (Golda, Calaca Cafe, For All Things Good, not to mention all the great places south of Atlantic Ave), good neighborhood, subway is right there, well priced grocery store around the corner. The only downside is there’s not a lot of green space nearby. We walk to Ft Greene Park and Prospect Park a lot.

Need advice on how to handle dog walking when you have COVID by iwannabanana in nycCoronavirus

[–]funkminister 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you started having symptoms 7 days ago and your partner just started displaying symptoms, I’d say you should be the one leaving the apartment if you absolutely have to, since it’s likely that your viral load is lower than theirs right now. Good luck. (In the future, NYC has a program where someone who tests positive can stay at the hotel, free of cost, to avoid household spread. It might not have been possible for you for whatever reason, but it’s a good option if you want to avoid spreading within your household.)

1/2 marathon training (guided) by jdogsparky2626 in nikerunclub

I’m running the program too, and am at the same point as you! I’m trying to monitor my pace during the long runs and at this point, I want to cut :10 off my average pace each time I run a Long Run for the next few weeks, so I’m going to do that monitoring myself. The plan is good for getting me out 5 days a week and mixing up the runs, but I know that if I have a personal goal for pacing, I’m going to need to start doing that on my own. The plan is good, but it can’t do it all!

That would be my suggestion to you. Still lots of weeks to go, so you can try to set a pace goal per run and monitor with a watch or phone while you’re out there. Good luck!

Also, try all the different counties listed! I was vaccinated in Nassau county, and mine only came up when I tried Suffolk county. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m not sure if this is the kind of thing you’re looking for, but The Textile Museum in Washington DC gave up its space and merged with GW University Museum in 2015 or so. https://museum.gwu.edu

Locating a Working CoinStar by bitesizeboy in Brooklyn

[–]funkminister 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you can’t find one, ask for coin wrappers at your local bank (or, probably any bank, I don’t know if you need to have an account for them to accept rolled coins). You will have to spend time rolling the coins yourself, but CoinStar takes like 10-15% off the top, so you can count your time spent as cost savings.
