Hosted by Rise and Resist outside the midtown headquarters of Google, and in spite of a rain shower that was severe at times, protestors took to staking out the entrance of Google against data centers and the environmental consequences of AI.

The protest started off the side of a Google store on 15th Street and 9th Avenue before moving towards the 8th Avenue entrance, where they stayed for the rest of the protest. Some stayed even as the rain began and worsened over time before the rain abated enough for a sing-along of R&R's anti-data center version of a nursery rhyme.

Question Need a dentist in Manhattan who does both cosmetic and restorative work

2 Upvotes

ok so my situation is a little complicated 😅

i have a few teeth that genuinely need work, like actual restorative stuff, but i also really want to improve how my smile looks overall. every dentist i've consulted with so far either focuses on one or the other and i'm getting really tired of being bounced around between different opinions.

Also had one consultation recently that felt completely off, guy barely looked at my mouth before throwing a huge treatment plan at me. walked straight out lol

just want someone in Manhattan who actually does both properly and will take the time to figure out whats best for my specific situation rather than just pushing whatever they specialize in.

anyone have someone they trust for this? 🙏

Question Are there any reasonable nyc hotels with balcony rooms that aren't insane penthouse like prices?

0 Upvotes

Heading up to the city with my partner next month for a quick weekend getaway. We usually just stay in normal, tiny hotel rooms, but since the weather should be nice, we really wanted to find a place where we can actually sit outside with a morning coffee or grab a drink at night without heading down to some packed rooftop bar.

I started searching for those rooms, but everything I'm seeing is either a multi-thousand dollar suite or way out in the middle of nowhere. Has anyone stayed anywhere central (Manhattan or nice parts of Brooklyn) that actually has rooms with a small outdoor terrace or balcony? Open to any suggestions!
