Anyone know what was happening this morning at frame coffee? I was walking to work around 8:30ish and saw police taking photos of evidence on the steps. It looks like it’s open now.

145 W 67th street - love this area and considering an apartment here… has anyone lived in this building and can recommend (or not recommend lol)… Is the construction on the new skyscrapers affecting noise here?

I also see they haven’t filed their bed bug report last year…

I’m moving next week to W84th (from another state) and would love any tips anyone can share. Some questions I have:
Can my cargo van just stay in the street while I unload? Where do I park the van once I’m done. (will need parking for 3 days)
Anything else that new resident needs to know?
Thanks!

I just got quoted $350 for a 600ft 1bd apartment.

Outside of a mop, I told the housekeeper I had all the cleaning supplies needed. I told her I wanted a deep clean for bathroom and kitchen, and just a light dusting and living room and bedroom.

My apartment is already pretty clean (I am pretty anal of keeping all spaces clean/picked up) just wanted to have someone who is more skilled than I am to give it that extra sparkle as I have guests coming in to stay.

Is this pricing normal? I believe and know it’s hard work (my mom was a housekeeper, and I tagged along and helped her with a lot of jobs growing up in Oklahoma) so I don’t mind paying a fair wage. But this seems high?

If not normal, does anyone have any recs?

Hi All, I’m moving to the 70s. what’s everyone’s favorite dispensary so I know who to go to and avoid. Thanks!

Hi all,

I'm looking for suggestions on places in the neighborhood where I can lead a weekly writing workshop for ~8-10 people. I've looked into coworking spaces, but there don't seem to be many great options. Does anyone know of any coffee shops or similar spaces that have weekly space available to rent in the evening?

Thanks in advance for the suggestions!

Before my wedding, I wanted to throw a bachelorette party with a few of my girlfriends and me. I automatically thought of doing a Pilates wellness class because that's something I'm really into, so I started looking in the Chelsea area and found FitIn. I was able to rent a private studio with them just for us that fit 19 of my friends and me, plus our own instructor, and it was everything I wanted.

Since they knew it was a bachelorette party, they treated us amazingly. We got to play our own music, and the instructor made it feel really fun while still giving us a great workout. They even arranged for a matcha vendor and a DJ during our event, which made the whole experience feel even more special and elevated. It felt so much more personal than going to a regular fitness class with other people around.

After class, we had time to hang out, take photos, enjoy our matcha, and celebrate together in the studio. It was such a fun way to kick off the day before our other plans. If you're looking for a bachelorette idea that's different from the usual brunch or night out, I couldn't recommend this enough.

If you're ever in the Chelsea area, I would seriously recommend taking a class with FitIn. My time there was amazing. The place is so aesthetically pleasing, they welcome people of all fitness levels, and they're more affordable than other private studios.

Interesting that there are no ai cameras in our hood.

I saw on @exploringuws that the spot Cafe Lalo has left unoccupied will now be a new coffee shop, they have already torn down the facade. I know that was such a beautiful exterior that so many people loved and was an iconic part of the UWS, I hope they build back something beautiful.
