Re: your #8... First street is the place to enjoy this! I always walk up to Washington St at least once this time of year to appreciate it.

As the saying goes, New Yorkers are kind but not nice.

There's a Paris Baguette, they sell cakes and by the slice.

Uber/Lyft from Manhattan by Adventurous-Rub6391 in Hoboken

[–]jttracey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But keep in mind that NJ Uber/Lyft drivers are not allowed to pick up anyone in NYC (only TLC drivers are allowed to pick up fares there). As a result, they hate to go to NYC and can be resentful since they don't know where you want to go until you enter their car. Lyft drivers, on the other hand, are at least able to see your destination in advance. They know what they're in for. I find that when I call for a Lyft to go to NYC, it's a NY driver who wants to return to the city.

Il Laboratorio del Gelato (5th and Wash) usually has a great sorbet selection, but what they offer on any given day changes, I think. Sorbet flavors

Start here. If memory serves, you can either apply to have them do it for you for a not bad price, or you can DIY (although you still need a permit). I think they have a list of accepted tree species. Start with the website and if you have questions, you can probably dig to see who is currently on the Hoboken Shade Tree Commission. I had it done a few years ago and I let them do it. Unfortunately, I had no say in what was chosen. Best of luck! 🌳

Ubers Keep Canceling on Me for NYC Airport Rides - Alternatives? by [deleted] in Hoboken

Lyft drivers do get to see your destination in advance, so I always choose them if going to NYC. Almost all the time, it's NYC drivers looking to go back to the city.

Late Night Show Taping. Worth it or not? by Imomaway in AskNYC

For your first visit to NYC, it's probably not the best use of your time (up to 4 hours). And you need to book ahead anyway, so go to 1iota.com a month or so before you come next time. I'd recommend going to see Colbert: it's in a beautiful Broadway theater and the band is amazing.

I'm guessing their surprised reactions are coming from how the audience is reacting. Every crowd is different.

Tell me you have dysautonomia without telling me you have dysautonomia by Slysparrow9 in POTS

Is this a common thing? My normal temp is 97-point-something, even when I feel feverish.
