Announcement Flop House Comedy Club expands to the Lower East Side

Thumbnail flophousecomedy.com
1 Upvotes

Hey r/manhattan! I help run Flop House Comedy Club (on Grand St. in Williamsburg), and due to popular demand, we're opening a second room in the Lower East Side at Tipsy Village! The first show is July 24, no drink minimums.

Lineup: Dan Yang, Nick Viagas, Pranav Behari, Annabeth Mann, Alexis Ramirez & surprise guests.

We book NYC's best comics, plus whoever's about to be one. No bringer spots, no barkers — if you're in the audience it's because you wanted to be there.

Happy to answer anything about the room, the booking, or how a show like this actually works. And if you know of an LES bar with a decent back room, I'm always looking.

ISO Cinnamon Roll near Murray Hill

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for a really good, warm cinnamon roll.....the soft, gooey kind with plenty of cinnamon and icing, not one that’s dry and has been sitting in a display case all day. Bonus points if the place also has genuinely good coffee!

Anywhere near Midtown East, Murray Hill, or within a reasonable walk. Where should I go?

Free "How to DJ on CDJs" Class + Open Decks tonight (7/23) in LES

0 Upvotes

Hey y'all, I'm co-hosting a free event tonight (Thursday 7/23) that features a casual "How to DJ on CDJs" class. Come on by if you're curious what happens in the booth, or if you're a bedroom DJ who's interested in learning to play out on pro gear

I'm teaching the class 8pm-9pm at Mehanata in LES. Afterward we'll host friendly low-pressure Open Decks all night long. There will be a few 20 minute slots for rookies to get accustomed to CDJs with assistance from hosts (arrive early to sign up). Then we'll all play b2b2b... together until at least 2am (3 tracks per turn, play again and again, pull up any time with your USB). Full details on my socials - I'm not sharing links here because I don't want to look like I'm advertising myself

(I don't normally promote events here, but I'm posting because this is a free skillshare that might interest the community. There are no tickets, and the hosts and organizers are volunteering our time without pay - we're just friends doing something for our local scene. Mods, please remove if not allowed)

Question Luxury laser hair removal in Midtown Manhattan?

Price is not really the concern here. I want the best machine, the most experienced hands in the room, and zero risk to my skin. Where do the people who never look at the invoice actually go.

Is Manhattan getting sketchier or am I just paranoid?

0 Upvotes

I'm looking to move from South Jersey to NYC for the first time and and have been apartment hunting and spent a lot of time walking around neighborhoods like Chelsea, Hell's Kitchen, Union Square, Kips Bay, etc just to get a feel of the different neighborhoods (on both weekdays and weekends). One thing that's surprised me is how often I run into people who seem mentally unwell or homeless and acting unpredictably.

Maybe I'm just sheltered, but every time I have to walk past someone who's yelling at nobody, pacing around, or acting erratically, I immediately get a little anxious. Most of them don't do anything, but I still find myself wondering if today's the day someone decides I'm the main character. I've come across a lot of these people, surprisingly, in a span of just one week.

For people who live in Manhattan, is this just something you get used to? Has it gotten noticeably worse over the past few years or is this pretty much how it's always been?

I'm trying to figure out how much this should factor into choosing a neighborhood versus accepting that it's just part of living in the city. Thanks.

Question What is going on with prices!!

It has been a couple years since I’ve been to Manhattan. Is it me or have the prices for even simply handcrafted, coffee food, etc. absolutely gone insane????

My wife and I travel all over and I am just shocked at how expensive Manhattan has gotten. Can anyone give us some insight?

Ranking my favorite neighborhoods in Manhattan

0 Upvotes

I’m from Brooklyn and moved to Manhattan last year. I love living on the island so much and I never wanna live in another borough. I obviously can’t do every single neighborhood but here’s my early draft of a tier list, with some assorted thoughts below. Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts.

S-Tier: Upper West Side, Inwood, East Village

A-Tier: West Harlem, Union Square, Greenwich Village

B-Tier: Chinatown, Hell’s Kitchen, Lower East Side, West Village

C-Tier: Meatpacking district, Upper East Side, Washington Heights

D-Tier: East Harlem, Soho, Chelsea

F-Tier: Gramercy/Murray Hill, Tribeca, Midtown/Times Square

  1. The West Side as a whole is so much better than the East. The UWS is upscale but still has a lot of genuine NYC charm. Beautiful architecture, great bars, transit, and you’re right by Riverside. The UES, by comparison, is too sterile and lacks character. It’s pretty but not much there. The irony is that you could argue the UES is more affordable for normies because of Yorkville. My ex also lives in the UES so the connotations make it weird for me but I digress. 
  2. Inwood is an incredible part of town with the parks in New York imo. Great bars, food and the area is full of life. Some parts are sketchy but whatever idc it's a fun part of town and all the Dominicans riding their UTVs blasting reggaeton at 2am makes it even better. Inwood Hill Park is so underrated and the Met Cloisters are right there too. The only real issue is that it's super far from a lot of shit.
  3. East Village is superior to the West Village in every way. I only recently learned the distinction between Greenwich and the West Village, and I much prefer Greenwich because of MacDougal St and Washington Square Park. 
  4. I view the Meatpacking District and Soho as similarly shitty in that it’s mostly just shopping, but at least the Meatpacking has the waterfront and the highline. 
  5. I HATE TRIBECA so much. I have to go for work sometimes and the bars are all terrible, there really isn’t a particularly nice park (Battery Park is fine) and it’s just bland and boring. Gramercy and Murray hill suck too but a lot of that is me hating the finance bros that live there.

Question Anyone recently seen a severed leg poster all over Manhattan?

2 Upvotes

Has anyone recently seen a poster of a severed cut open leg in the middle of Manhattan recently? It’s popping up everywhere around skirball center and parts near it, was wondering if anyone here has seen it and know what is it for, or is it just some guy trolling citizens with it.
Cant obviously show the image btw.

Weird shit man.

Help with Survey Responses for a research internship

1 Upvotes

Hello! I am conducting research on healthy eating in NYC for my internship with Commonpoint, and I would greatly appreciate it if you could take 5 minutes of your time to complete this survey. I need to collect more responses from Manhattan, specifically because I have the least amount of responses from this borough. It's super short, and all responses are completely anonymous unless you choose to provide personal information. By completing this survey, you can also choose to enter into a $50 amazon gift card lottery!

This is the link: https://form.jotform.com/261935943640059 Thank you so much for your time!
