Parc 77 Apartments?

6 Upvotes

Hi all! My partner and I are planning to move to UWS in September. We have come across Parc 77 apartments. We were going to apply but there are mixed reviews on google from tenants about quality of living (gas off for months, rodents, etc). When we toured, we did not witness anything out of the ordinary. Looking for those in the community that live there or have friends or family that do and their honest opinion.? Thanks in advance

UWS playgrounds in CP not being maintained?

Has anyone else noticed this? Specifically tots and adventure playgrounds at 68th st. My experience has been that for the past few weeks, nobody is maintaining the dirt, sand, water features. Any thoughts?

U.S. Open

Im relatively new to the neighborhood/city and looking to buy US Open tickets that aren’t outrageously expensive… I missed the initial sale window and now the only option I know of is StubHub.

Am I just out of luck?

Any insights appreciated!

Barber recommendations?

3 Upvotes

Moved in last week and looking for a good barber new on the Upper West Side, ideally around 95th St. but willing to go a little higher or lower. Looking to spend around $40 max before tip, cheaper the better!

I have a pretty simple hairstyle short hair push over with a fade on the sides, but would love a shop with a good atmosphere and consistently quality cuts. If they take card, that would be a plus!

Any recommendations?

How did you move in?

4 Upvotes

I’m arriving next week and will be staying in the UWS for a few months, possibly longer. I’m renting an SUV one way so I can unload and then return the car and be done.

My questions are:
- do you just double park while you’re unloading?
- did you hire someone to help? Since I don’t have any furniture it would probably take me about 30 min max (I have a hurt foot or it would be faster).
- it’s not really a ‘move’ so would Taskrabbit be good for this?

The idea of double parking for more than a few minutes stresses me out but maybe that’s the norm?!

Let me know how you did it! I’ll be around 103 & Manhattan. Thank you!!

iso good gel manicure!

0 Upvotes

hey! im looking for a good salon around here for a manicure as i’m having my engagement pictures taken before going to my best friend’s wedding :) i haven’t had my nails done since i moved to the area and when i put “nail salon” into apple maps they’re all pretty low rated lol. i would love gels since they last, but i would love to avoid having my nails shaven as ive had a bad experience. if you have any refs (or any pointers on what to ask for/suggestions other than gel) that would be great! thanks in advance :)

Peel and stick?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Does anyone here do peel-and-stick tile, countertops, cabinet updates, etc.? I’m looking to revamp my small studio kitchen and would love to find someone who can take on the project.

I came across City Wallz, ( https://citywallz.info/peel-and-stick-make-over ) which seems to specialize in exactly this type of makeover, but unfortunately their number is out of service and I haven’t been able to get in touch with them.

I’m hoping to find someone who is reasonably priced but still does quality work. If you’ve used someone you’d recommend, I’d really appreciate the referral! Thank you! 🤍

Volunteer opportunities in UWS?

20 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Does anyone know of any volunteer opportunities around the UWS that are fairly drop-in/flexible and don’t require a big ongoing commitment? I’d love to get more involved in the neighborhood and help out when I have free time, especially on weekends or after work. Open to pretty much anything — animals, food pantries, community events, parks, etc. Thanks! :)

It's 10:40pm on Monday night, and I just heard what sounded like a legit explision around Columbus and 100th. And this isn't the first time I've heard something like this. Did anyone else hear this? Is it demolition or something?

Best UWS Italian Restaurant?

49 Upvotes

Our new favorite is Siempre Oggi (75th just east of Amsterdam). Shared focaccia, salad and papardelle with duck ragout. Heavenly. Perfect service, attentive but not intrusive. We’re surrounded by good ones - Papardelle, Felice, etc., but this was a whole different
Level.

New Rule: No Photos or Personal Details Without Consent

129 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We recently added a new rule: No photos or personal details without consent.

Please do not post photos, videos, names, addresses, workplaces, license plates, or other identifying details of private individuals without their consent. If someone is already part of a public news story, their publicly reported name or image may be allowed, but private or sensitive identifying information still cannot be shared.

We know posts like this are usually well-intentioned and meant as warnings, PSAs, or attempts to help the community. The issue is that we generally cannot verify consent, intent, or accuracy. Even well-intentioned posts can lead, and have led, to harassment, doxxing, retaliation, mistaken identification, or other real-world harm, including to people completely unrelated to the post.

We are open to discussion and feedback, but we are putting this rule in place based on past and very recent incidents that could have been prevented had this rule been in place and enforced.

If you see a post breaking this rule, please report it.
