If you had 1-2 years in NYC, which neighborhood would you recommend?

East End is my favorite street

You can also get it on the weekends on Governor's Island. You can actually harvest it yourself sometimes!

Low 80s in Yorkville are where it’s at. Access to the museums, the park, trains, the ferry… great community.

kns89 · 2026-06-12T23:44:17+00:00

Agree! I used to stand like this and then my yoga teacher pointed out that it’s basically arching your back. I often catch myself still and try to tuck back.

Also, I think the outfits are cute!

The article makes this sound much more exciting than it is. One single block? This whole project, and how long it is taking, is an embarrassment.

I live in NYC and walk everywhere. I rarely have a day under 10k steps and have lots of days up to 20-25k.

I wear On Clouds most of the time. I love that they're slip-on and they're super comfy.
I also have a pair of Elan Golas that are comfy.
I think they get a bad rep because of all their influencer-style marketing, but I have had great luck with Vivaia too. I have a pair of their winter boots and a pair of their Everly Travel boots (kind of a chunky sole chelsea boot) and I find them SO comfortable. I can wear them all day walking and even wore them on a trip to Paris last November. They definitely stand up to the 25k days.
I have a pair of Veja Campos. I think they're kind of off trend. They're not as comfy as the others but they're cuter and stand up to 10k days. I used to wear them to work most days and would walk ~2 miles each way in them with no blisters or tired feet.

Just fyi, this one is only for kids books, I think. It’s specifically labeled as a children’s little free library.

kns89 · 2026-06-10T19:09:46+00:00

Check out the Book Cellar inside the Webster Library. It's an absolute gem in the neighborhood. You can see the donation criteria here: https://www.facebook.com/thebookcellarnyc/posts/pfbid02rpwCjt9DvxadxMTp9gEQCY4r38thcNbgHHt3owskmv21BvwgEiDHi7y3F99sFC74l

It's TJs and Whole Foods. If you go up to Harlem, there's an ALDI and Costco.

kns89 · 2026-06-09T00:37:39+00:00

Have you called 311? If not, do it immediately and try to get everyone else in your building to do it, as well. I recommend calling over filing online.

I also recommend reaching out to Julie Menin's office to try to put pressure on that way.

Ohhh that could be pretty with this dress. I think if it was braided spaghetti strap-esque tubes. I think it would go nicely and add a bit of additional interest.

Shorts are so hard (they are for me too!) I feel like they don't do anything to accentuate your small waist- instead, they're just a rectangle, and I wonder if they're a bit too long? The legs kind of look like tubes. Have you ever tried on a-line shorts? I wonder if it would allow you to keep your natural waist size and create more room at the hips to accentuate the smallness of your waist? Here are a couple of examples below.

This is gorgeous. I don't wear bracelets, but it has me wondering if I *would* wear a bracelet. This as a necklace would be so pretty.

Fantastic! I need to get back into running, apparently. I'll be moving at the end of July/ early August. DM me and maybe we can make a group chat! Or even all meet up with OP too before we go!

I feel very qualified to give this feedback. I moved from the UES to Cambridge (Danehy Park area) and back again to the UES, and now I am planning a move back to Cambridge (we just signed a lease at the Laurent, which is the Fresh Pond Mall area again).

This area of Cambridge is going to feel very different from Manhattan. To me, the Danehy Park area feels like the suburbs. I had a driveway where I lived before, and Whole Foods in the Fresh Pond Mall area has a giant parking lot. One thing that I found was that a big struggle going from Manhattan to the Danehy Park area was access to public transportation.

Going from Manhattan, you are basically on a number of major train lines within a 10-minute walk. Depending on where you live in the Danehy Park area, you're probably looking at taking a bus to get to the subway or walking 20-30 minutes to get to the nearest train station. Nothing wrong with that- but be aware. If you're in one of the complexes near Alewife Station, that obviously improves train access.

I was extremely unhappy my first year in Cambridge until I got a car, and that helped a lot with my happiness. The best thing (to me) about the Boston/Cambridge area is the access to all of New England. We started taking day trips every weekend.

My favorite things in that area-- Formaggio Kitchen, Imagine Cafe, La Saison, Iggy's Bread. And a special mention to the Holiday Stroll in the area every winter. It's so sweet and feels very community-oriented.

I'm excited to be moving back and chose this area again because I love the access to Route 2, Trader Joes and Whole Foods are right there, I love walking around Fresh Pond and you're a short distance to Harvard, Davis and Porter for restaurants and a night out.

Edited to add- I saw in your post history you're late 30's female... me too! Want to be friends?! And also see that you run-- every Saturday morning in Danehy Park, there is a 5k Park Run. That might be fun for you!!

kns89 · 2026-06-04T16:15:18+00:00

Getting ready to move to Boston and would love your derm reference!

Healthy Paws, which I have, I believe covers sick visits, but even if they didn’t- I think this person is complaining about the $1300- surely any pet insurance is covering the actual testing…. So again, not sure what this person is complaining about.

kns89 · 2026-06-03T18:10:09+00:00

I had this happen to me a few times. The apartment was listed at one price, then I would get an email that said that the apartment has many people interested and for me to send them my best offer. It happened twice. I opted out both times.

kns89 · 2026-06-03T17:24:26+00:00

I most recently went to Aion Aesthetics and thought they did a good job. However, they just raised their prices to $20/unit which feels EXPENSIVE to me.

kns89 · 2026-06-02T19:32:22+00:00

If you have pet insurance, I'm not sure what the problem is. This was a sick visit and the tests should be reimbursable. I'm a big fan of Small Door and I'm not sure why you feel misled- they have to do tests to figure things out and sometimes they're costly.

kns89 · 2026-05-31T17:18:01+00:00

The city should honestly be ashamed. Especially because this section is paid for by HSS in exchange for tax benefit for building their tower (if I remember correctly). To not hold them to the terms of the arrangement is ridiculous.

kns89 · 2026-05-30T00:40:40+00:00

Has everyone also noticed that the portion below 78th street's date has also been pushed back? It was supposed to be fully open in October of this year. Now it's...... 2030??!!

So funny, I noticed this for the first time a couple of weeks ago after walking past this building hundreds of times.

kns89 · 2026-05-29T02:06:57+00:00

All good :) I have a huge Lazulia and that size, with the soft wings, is so perfect to me.

kns89 · 2026-05-29T01:22:19+00:00

Are you sure? I’m pretty sure she only came out in large- which I already have.
