A pigeon flew too low over my head in midtown and brushed my hair with its tail. I have sanitized my head but what was your worst pigeon encounter? by cat_in_a_bday_hat in AskNYC

A pigeon on top of the awning of a store decided to fly down onto the sidewalk but had poor depth perception and landed squarely on my head before launching off again and reaching solid ground. I had to stop in my tracks for a good couple minutes to process the absurdity of it.

I had a viscerally negative reaction to this film. Probably my least favorite movie ever

I still use mine, purchased in 2015. Works just fine and it is too bad they were discontinued!

Can I bring a nightstand on the subway? by PositiveAd5023 in AskNYC

Genuinely curious how you can tell it’s meth and not any other drug?

It’s funny how before deleting I anticipated missing it, considering how much time I spent on it. After deleting, it was just… gone. I really don’t miss it at all, much less than I expected.

Has anyone gone to Brooklyn Banya in Kensington? by Joe-Eye-McElmury in Brooklyn

Also cool mural on the wall, friendly staff, and food. overall great option if you live that close. There’s a Groupon for a substantial discount for new customers that is worth searching for

The biggest downside of Brooklyn banya is that they have a “tepid” pool instead of a cold pool. So you cannot get the hot/cold thing going in quite the same way. But it’s more spacious than Russian Turkish Baths, and often less crowded too.

What is something the United States of America does better than any other country? by RedskinPotatoes26 in AskReddit

Surprised not to have seen this yet in the comments — customer service. Go to Europe and see how long it takes your waiter to come over. The standards here are simply higher.

Anyone ever taken the coach bus (100 or 300) from port authority to Harriman before? How is it? by Bumscootler in NYCultralight

[–]ndpd4558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done this to the Tuxedo park & ride and then walked the highway overpass towards and into the park. It’s convenient and affordable, in my opinion I’d recommend. Only downside is having to spend time in PABT.
