I'd like to gain some handyman skills like building/fixing furniture, fixing appliances, etc, in exchange for my labor. I'm a white-collar worker stuck on my desk 40 hours a week.

I'm looking at an apartment with every window except one opening to the fire escape. I want to know if I can have a window AC unit installed in one of those windows. It's not a high-rise building, so the fire escape ladder is relatively easy to climb. I'm concerned about safety and accessibility in case of an emergency.

My son is super into vinyl records and my wife and I are a little out of practice with where to go. We would always love taking a stroll through Virgin Megastore and then walk a few blocks to Colony Records. Does anyone have any good suggestions of places to go to check out some memorabilia and get a good selection of various musical media? I’m not super picky but would love to find somewhere in Manhattan vs the other boroughs if possible.

I'm planning to go out to eat dinner at a restaurant in the city tomorrow but I'm concerned about the storm. It's supposed to be a big one.

I've recently purchased a Bugaboo Fox 5 Renew for my baby, but I'm concerned about using it on buses and subways in the city. I've done my research, but I'd love to hear from others who use large strollers in NYC on a daily basis. I'm looking for practical advice on how to navigate the city with a big stroller.

I'm looking for a reliable plan that's under $50 a month with unlimited data and good international roaming options, preferably with a local sim or e-sim when traveling.

My husband and I bought a coop in Murray Hill this past January. We have never lived in NYC before, let alone have a doorman. The daytime weekday doorman retired on July 1. Since many residents were away over the summer, including us, a good by party was delayed until next week. This doorman worked for the building for about 20 years and really was a great doorman. Always smiling, always helpful. We want to give him a check as a thank you gift. What do you think an appropriate amount would be?
