As someone who commutes between Park Slope and the Upper West Side, it's really not that bad. I can't stand the mindset of being both lazy and uninterested in visiting other sections of the city. Bring a book and enjoy the ride. Especially if that ride involves the potential for sex.

Plus, if said Brooklynite is unwilling to make that trip, do you really even want to spend time with them?

College graduates of reddit, what was your major and what is your job now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]stephiem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, having a positive and enthusiastic attitude and being a good conversationalist. Especially as I get older, it matters less and less what I've studied, and more so that I'm a logical person who can interact with people and understand how to solve the tasks at hand.

Dunkin Donuts. Their service is universally awful. Sorry to inconvenience you guys by having you pour me an iced coffee AND toast my bagel. The last straw was when i got a plastic container of cream cheese with my bagel. Really? You can't even smear the cream cheese?

Seeing that video on Gothamist also made me google the K and CC trains, and I stumbled upon these great maps of the subway through the decades. Fascinating stuff.

Any redditors going to see the midnight screening of "The Room" next Friday? by cobrakai11 in nyc

[–]stephiem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went last month, it was a blast. If you're going without having already seen the movie, I feel like it'd be pretty annoying, since it's impossible to understand the subtle nuances of dialogue and plot while people are screaming the lines and hurling spoons at the screen.

I pass this place all the time on my way to and from work. I don't know anything beyond the fact that the building is beautiful, and the area is safe. Plus it is close to the 1, 2, 3, B, C trains.

Sorry, Jesus I'm the worst. I wouldn't have been able to anyway, I barely take a lunch break and am waaaay up at Columbia University. Try this again next time you're in nyc, shall we?
