New York Q&A

I've been trying to find a gym that fits my budget in Manhattan, but I'm not sure if it's worth the cost. I'd love to hear from others about their experiences.

I've been experiencing hand pain after a fall, but I'm not sure if it's a sprain or a more serious issue. I've found some options, but I'm looking for a place that offers both a physician visit and X-rays in the same building, and ideally at a low cost or for free.

I've bought 3 tickets to Cake Picnic but can no longer attend. I'm wondering if it's possible to resell them.

I've been laid off for a while from my full-time job and want to find something part-time to get by. I spoke to a barista the other day and they told me its super competitive in the city and usually require someone with 2-3 years experience. The thing is I don't have any part-time experience to add to my resume like barista/bartending/etc. What other jobs could I consider? I am guessing employers don't want to hire someone who previously did office work. My only part-time experience is from 10+ years ago where I worked as a cashier.

My friends and I are planning to dress up as the Blues Brothers for Halloween and we need some affordable black suits and fedoras. We're open to trying out thrift stores or any other place that sells suits at a low cost.

I've been trying to book a road test for weeks, but there are no appointments available in the 5 boroughs. I've tried refreshing the website at different times, but nothing seems to be working.

I'm looking for a good vet for my cat in New York. Reviews are mixed, and I want to find one that's decently priced, doesn't order unnecessary tests, and provides straightforward, honest pet care.

My roommate and I live in a luxury building in Hell's Kitchen, and they just sent an email saying they'll charge $25 for each lockout. I think this is ridiculous, since we can just get a spare key from the doorman's desk.

I'm an electrician who's been in NYC for 3 years, and I often work with people who are new to the city. I'm looking for a liquor or beer superstore where I can buy in bulk at a good price, similar to Bevmo or Total Wine and More on the west coast or Binny's in Chicago.

My wife and I have been to NYC twice this year. First time we went to the Prospect Park Zoo, second time we went to the New York Aquarium. Both times we were the only people there that weren’t Orthodox Jews.

I've been at my place for 7 years and I'm tired of the old, warped kitchen cabinets and counters. I'd like to replace them with new ones, but I'm not sure if it's possible without the landlord's approval. I'm willing to contribute to the cost, but I want to know if it's worth it and if it's something I should ask my landlord about.

I'm planning a return flight from a business trip to NYC and I'm going to be leaving from the area around Mount Sinai Hospital. If I take an Uber shortly after 5 pm on a Friday, will I have enough time to catch a 7:30 flight out of LGA?

With how expensive NYC has gotten, I'm wondering if hobosexuality is becoming more common, especially with people being out of work, which isn't exactly unusual in this economy.

I was sitting alone on my phone on my friends rooftop in FiDi around 5:30 today and heard some sounds above me in the gazebo. I thought it was just the wind so I ignored it. After a minute or two I looked up just in time to see something small and brown flying by. Wondering how likely it is I need to get a rabies shot now? I should have mentioned I think the sound were it flying around the top of the gazebo which is why I’m assuming it might have been rabid because it was acting strangely.

I fell on hard times and missed payments for my storage unit. My account was closed, and all items were auctioned off. I'm trying to find a new place, but now I have to do so from scratch because all my belongings are gone, including keepsakes.

I'm planning to sell some furniture and household items when I move to NYC. I'm considering selling them in Philadelphia before I move or bringing them with me and selling in NYC. I'd like to know if people in NYC buy things from Facebook Marketplace and if it's a popular option.

I'm an Australian retiree living in Queens, looking for plasma donation recommendations in the area. I'm in good health, eat well, and stay active, and I'm interested in donating plasma regularly. I'd like to know where to donate, how often I can donate, and what to expect in terms of compensation.

I applied for a Copy Editing job at B&H Photo and they want to do an in-person interview, but I'm hesitant after doing some research on the company's history of lawsuits and workplace discrimination.

My building recently got a new landlord and they switched to a different platform which said that I have to pay via checks. Annoying but whatever. Then I had a conversation with some of the market rate tenants and turns out that they've been paying rent online this whole time, while my account doesn't have this option. I talked to more people and turns out that the landlord doesn't accept online payments from all rent-stabilized tenants in our building. Is it legal? Is there anything we can do?

My sister has bipolar disorder and was living in New York on a student visa. She stopped taking her medication and was off it for around six months. She then suddenly blocked all of our family members on every platform and seemed to be experiencing psychosis. We contacted social services and a hospital in New York, and she was eventually admitted to the hospital. We're worried about her safety and condition, but we're also overseas and unable to bring her home.
