Friend dropped me off last night at 1 AM at the intersection of Second Ave and 79th St and I began to walk up to the citibike dock on Second Ave & 80th St when this lady threw her bags down, charged at me and aggressively followed me while screaming that I was following her. Had to walk into oncoming traffic for her to back off. Took this video before undocking a bike and leaving

there is a dog walker in UES that i usually see around 92nd and lex, every time i've seen him he usually has multiple dogs with their leashes tied onto a pole and he is just kinda standing around with them. i always felt kinda sus about him but didn't see him do anything actually wrong until today.

today around 3:30 pm, i was on the corner of 92nd and park ave, and he was there with a bunch of dogs and a guy who seemed like he was also a dog walker who i've never seen before (also had a bunch of dogs on leashes). they were talking while i walked past, during which one of the golden retrievers the first guy had (the one i've seen before) started to back up and block the path. it was truly not an issue and i was not mad but the guy yanked on the golden's leash and SLAPPED IT on the snout. actually slapped. and then yelled at it.

i was very upset to see this. i should have said something but i was a woman by myself with young children and i didn't know how he would react. for context, he is a white man who seems to be in his mid-late 30s? he has light brown short curly hair, i usually see him in some kind of baseball cap. he always has more than one dog at a time. please let me know any information that can help me inform the owners of the dogs he walks to NOT use his services, who knows what kinds of things he is doing to these dogs on a regular basis. or please let me know any other thread i can post this to to raise awareness. let's stop this guy from dog walking!!!

Looking for AFFORDABLE options for dry cleaning winter and wool coats. Any area of UES is fine! Thank you!

I loved this bakery!!

Who remembers them?

They were supposed to reopen but never did! I'll never lose hope, sighs

Has anyone here successfully done a nanny share? If so could you please share info on how you went about this and if you used an agency? Thank you!!!

Recently moved to UES and was curious what Halloweekend is like for those in their 20s. Any specific bars or things we should know like when to go out?

It looks like there's a bunch of work going on there too. There are no DOB notices posted, but if you look at the 2nd picture it doesn't look like that stuff has been sitting there for the last 5 years.

the one that says “firenze” on it. it means a lot to me. pls return it. i stupidly took it to the grocery store thinking it was going to be safe and i guess it slipped form my shoulder and got snatched up right away.

pls pls pls return it to the store so they can call me.

That didn't take long....

Feel like I’m going crazy. Consistently around 5/6pm when I take the Q downtown from 86 street I have the same experience. It will say 0 minutes away, but the train doesn’t show up, and then it jumps to 10 minutes away or more. Is there a reason this always happens at this time?

Hi! I’m a 26M living on the upper east side. If anyone is interested in meeting up at Carlow east or third ave ale house to play some pool or darts let me know!

Preferably in Yorkville/80s-90s.

Truck on East 77th Street today blasting a loud video in support of her campaign. Is this legal?

This will be our first time going out on Halloween with our toddler. Where would ve the best street to go? Also, any time frame?

Large FDNY presence, anyone know what happened?

I already googled it so don’t ask. What’s going on with all the alarms?

Does anyone know of any delis/shops where I can get a good iced tea lemonade that’s made from a fountain. Not looking for a canned iced tea lemonade.

Edit: for takeaway/to go

I enjoy writing and sometimes it’s helpful to have some time on the schedule carved out to get it done. I‘m wondering if there are others that feel the same way, and if so, would like to do a semi-regular meet up and write over coffee, maybe even share out.

Edit: I’ve created a WhatsApp group to organize a meet. I will DM you each.

Trying to gather what the “norm” is here for this particular situation…

It’s been a little exhausting figuring things out/planning, but starting to get a lay of the land. I have a toddler and we are currently doing 2 days a week of daycare at The Goddard School.

We have been thinking that we will likely move to Connecticut once our child is ready to start school. Because our child has a late birthday and there is a differing cut-off date between NYC and CT for starting school, she would start Kinder at 4 in NYC public or start Kinder at 5 in CT public.

On top of my child having a late birthday, she was also born early… and in daycare, I’ve already noticed some developmental delays compared to her peers (though are actually in line with her “adjusted age”). All that aside, I don’t love that she would have to start at 4 if we did public in NYC because I feel like on top of being a late birthday with her being born early, she might be really behind.

I started getting the lay of the land for CT if we make that move. Aside from also having a different cut-off birthday deadline, it also seems like a lot of public schools don’t have guaranteed Pre-K like NYC does and that slots are limited and many people don’t get a slot. Then, I thought okay… so then, we just do Pre-K at a private preschool in CT before public Kinder if we don’t get a slot, but then got into looking at that, and it seems like even slots at those are also limited, but you have a better chance of getting in if you do 3K there. (Wasn’t planning on moving to CT that soon.)

I have a few questions here. For those who opt to go the private school route in NYC (which is similar to CT in that it also has a Sep birthday cut-off for starting school and also usually starts at Kinder, not Pre-K) or for those who do make the move from NYC to a suburb that has a different deadline where it affects what year your kid starts school, how did you handle Pre-K?

Also, for those who do private Kinder in NYC, do you all send your kid to a separate full-time Pre-K program prior? Is a part-time Pre-K program sufficient enough to prepare them for full time Kinder or is full-time really a “must”? Is there anyone who ever sends their kids straight to Kinder without ever doing any Pre-K?

hi all, I was wondering if anyone here knew of any pickleball courts on the upper east side or otherwise a friend and I could go to and get into games with others. thanks for help in advance!
