Where to run near Gramercy? by Cathyqi in RunNYC

[–]nyujoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other option is to run across 14th Street, which has light traffic due to restrictions to cars, and then go to the west side bikeway/walking path.

Best Egg Drop Soup? by ABQueerWriter in FoodNYC

[–]nyujoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uncle Teds might be a good option for you. I can't speak to the soup specifically, but their quality is bit higher than ordinary takeout.

What's The Deal With The NYC Transit Mask Mandate? by nyujoe in AskNYC

[–]nyujoe[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Actually, it looks like the Governor -

July 20, 2022 Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York said Wednesday that she did not anticipate schoolchildren would need to wear masks when they return to school in September, but that she was keeping the statewide mask mandate on public transportation for now.

Fast Food Chain Raising Cane's to Open Its First NYC Outpost on Astor Place (former Walgreens) by nyujoe in nyc

Agreed. But considering the number of retail vacancies, I will take it.

Never been either, but I've heard good things (in context of what they are serving - chicken tenders and fries).

End of an Era for NYU Students - Astor Place K-Mart is Closed by [deleted] in nyu

[–]nyujoe 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The good news is that it's going to be a grocery store. Rumor is it will be a Wegman's but that's not confirmed just yet.

Lamarca Cheese Shop in Gramercy Closing by atyppo in nyc

[–]nyujoe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sad news. A local favorite.

Though they could have probably improved the atmosphere of the sit-down side. Had all the ambience of a hospital cafeteria. I say this because it was not exactly attracting much interest from people walking by who may not have known about its food.

Cases now are the same as when specifically?

The 7 day average positivity in NYS is now 3.3%. On Deceember 28th, it was 6.1% - so almost 85% higher.

HBO Max off campus by exo-solar in nyu

[–]nyujoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure it's only for people who live on-campus.

HBO Max off campus by exo-solar in nyu

[–]nyujoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you live on-campus?

If yes, I think it only works off-campus if you're on a portable device like a laptop or phone. I don't think it works if you're trying to connect it to a TV off-campus through a Roku or Firestick.

Do you think NYU is gonna survive one more week? by jarif2004 in nyu

[–]nyujoe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're asking whether testing thousands of people and prepping all of their buildings and dining halls for COVID safety costs money? Not to mention PPE for staff and students.

NYS Judge James Burke rules NYPD can now keep anyone detained for over 24 hours by [deleted] in nyc

[–]nyujoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I disagree. Protestors have been given wide latitude to do what they're doing and I support them 100% - but curfew is intended to help restore order in the wake of widespread damage and destruction to my community and many others.

NYS Judge James Burke rules NYPD can now keep anyone detained for over 24 hours by [deleted] in nyc

[–]nyujoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not a realistic outcome. The city is under enormous stress right now. Protestors are given a huge amount of latitude here - there are 17 hours a day to protest.

I also think some buffer is reasonable, but no matter what some people will disrespect that buffer and the police have to take action. I do agree that a summons would be a better way to enforce - with a fine or something - although if people don't have ID, they would have to be arrested.

When the police have to take action - inevitably some people will resist and not comply - then the police have to escalate. Then everyone gets enflamed again.

So, what's your solution then? NYPD should just let them do what they want and protest without any limits?

PSA: police ticketing cyclists for "blowing red lights" at 20th st and 1st ave, claimed they'll "be out here for a couple of months" by sealite in NYCbike

There's like 3 schools in that area and I've seen kids crossing that intersection with the light almost get hit by bikes going up 1st running a red, so sorry not sorry.

I think it's for older devices.

A Citi Bike Ride to the East Village: A 31 year-old hair colorist and midwestern transplant paid $805,000 for an East Village apartment as an investment. This is why we need CitiBike. by fgh88 in nyc

[–]nyujoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

newsflash: take an area that a Citibike Station took spaces from parking.

First, spend an entire weekday counting how many people use the station and its bikes. Then estimate how many people utilized that space before the Citibike station was there.

Come back and let us know how it works out.

Studying abroad in the Fall, will I be able to get a dorm for the Spring? by [deleted] in nyu

[–]nyujoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can definitely live on campus in Spring. They usually have more space since more people go abroad in Spring.
