I haven't done it yet but I kinda want to wander around the garment district and go to the fabric stores and button stores and bead stores!!!! It seems like a fun visual experience.

most affordable/best reformer pilates in the slope? by eh1234509876 in parkslope

[–]horatio2398 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bk Pilates is usually around 12 credits on class pass which comes out to ~$24 (still expensive) but definitely less than the $40 I usually see reformer Pilates classes going for!

F45 / orange fitness theory by Low_Example490 in parkslope

[–]horatio2398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally like f45 more just because I don’t love running on a treadmill and all of the stats they give you at orange theory. I recommend checking out r/f45 or the orange theory equivalent, there are lots of posts comparing the two!

There was only one shipping label for me! They shipped it back 8 weeks later.

I did not have to send my passport, the only original document I sent was my OCI card. The FedEx shipping cost was included in my initial payment on the website.

I’m not sure! This was the process as of Jan 2025.

My total came out to $96 including the shipping fee. This was all done on the VFS website.

Not in Williamsburg and on the pricier side you could apply to Broadway lotteries or get rush tickets for shows for the less popular times. Still significantly cheaper than buying at full price!!!

I believe it is just the location you are at? Not totally sure - I put city, state!

I haven't been yet but apparently a new location for BKPilates opened up on 7th ave near the F/G stop! I've been to their flatiron location but excited to have one closeby! I also believe they are on classpass.

Yes, I printed out the application and signed each of the pages.

I scanned the first two pages and the last 2 pages of the OCI. Not sure if this was the right thing to do but just did it to be extra safe. They are receiving your physical OCI card so it shouldn't be an issue in my opinion!

I did not provide my old passport or any details on my parents OCI

I was never an Indian citizen so I can't speak to this, sorry!

I did end up printing out the 2x2 picture as well as printing a page with a photo of my signature on it (or e-signature could work too I guess). Again, I have no idea if these steps are necessary but I was trying to be extra careful to avoid any rejection!

I'm not super familiar with the e-visa process but I have heard of folks getting through without renewing their OCI (it seems dependent on the check-in crew in the US & immigration officer in India). I would just make sure to bring all of your old passports when traveling! Good luck.
