I am 29F, South Asian.
I think I am fairly outgoing and funny but I hate making plans with a group of friends so I usually find myself alone at bars and restaurants. I am very, very used to it as an only child with some healthy levels of trust issues and self-reliance but it weirdly makes it harder to speak to strangers. I am recently single and I want to put myself out there and meet new people. I do smile but I am mostly left alone or they not even look?
I do get some attention on Hinge so it might not be my appearance. Maybe I am not going to the right places or maybe it’s because of my very evident wired earphones? Where do you go to meet new people? How does it work?

hello all. i went to a college with a beloved establishment known as d.p. dough. while i wasn’t a calzone girl i did particularly enjoy d.p. dough because they were a rare spot that served vegan wings (known as dunkers 🕊️) with a variety of different flavor options (buffalo, sweet and spicy, etc). iirc they were seitan wings which is personally my favorite kind of vegan/vegetarian wing. wings are the only meat item i “crave” since leaving meat behind 15 years ago and i do think it mostly has to do with the sauces but that’s beside the point. the point is that i cannot for the life of me find a place in nyc that sells vegetarian WINGS (not breaded tenders). yes i can just buy daring chicken and make them at home but sometimes i just want to order a 12 piece and have it delivered to my door because i live in new york city and i’m spoiled and that seems like something i should be able to do.

i live in queens but work in midtown and am often in brooklyn near park slope so willing to commute. i’m also not vegan so vegetarian only will work. please help!

tldr; looking for vegetarian wings recommendations.

Maybe extroverts like remembering people's faces or details about others. Personally, I don't remember people.

I have central hypothyroidism and I wanted recommendation for an endocrinologist who specializes in thyroid disorders and accepts Health first Medicaid.

If you have a doc who is compassionate , patient knowledgeable and culturally sensitive please share. Also one cares to answers questions.

My preferred location is Manhattan, but I am open to downtown Brooklyn, LIC and Astoria.

TIA

Hello! I’m in NYC a lot for work but I’m looking for a party/club to hit on halloween night. I’m 20 and my friend is 19, I’d love to hear your guys’ recommendations because I keep seeing some pop up on my instagram but they look like a scam. Thank you

I almost got hit by delivery drivers twice today in Brooklyn and I’m really frustrated. One was an e-biker who ran a red light and the other was Vespa. I was in the cross walk both times and luckily I’m very aware and was able to jump out of the way. Is the city doing anything to control these delivery guys? It’s out of control and it’s been getting progressively worse.

I just spent about $130 so I’m curious. This was to test my kitten for parasites.

Does anybody know why the Empire State building is flashing different colors and strobe lights tonight?? It is after midnight on October 16, 2026. The website says that it is supposed to be official white, and yesterday was magenta. Will post a video.

my best friend is visiting from abroad for a few days, and would love to have a quahog, which is apparently a NE/Boston food ???

She knows and loves it from her time in Boston, but won’t be able to visit during this trip. where can we find it in NYC?????

Is there anything in the city that is similar to Incredible Coffee in Tokyo? A place to have drinks while listening to records, but also not a sit-down, reservation type of place. TIA

Hi! I’m 25(f) and I’ve lived in nyc for a little over a year now for work (ues). I’m very introverted overall and have a hard time with getting myself to try new things and talk to new people. I feel an immense amount of uneasiness cause I live here, which is something I’ve wanted, but struggled to actually take advantage of living here and doing new things on a regular basis. I have done things here and there on the weekends or when people visit, but as far as my day to day, I find myself just being at home, as much as I want to go out and try stuff. I spend a lot of time in Queens cause I have a field based job there, but I feel like I’m in such a state of like existentialism of what I want in life and not knowing enough of what I actually enjoy, to the point where it’s paralyzing and I have no idea how to start just actually living here. Most of my days end up looking the same. Is this normal

I’d like to use or rent a typewriter (classic is ideal) for a few hours to type up a wedding sermon. I’ve been asked to officiate a wedding and I’d like to give the typed copy as a framed gift to the newlyweds. Located in Brooklyn but I can travel anywhere in the city. Thanks!

Hi, I have an aging parent who does not speak English. Unfortunately, I'm not living in the same state as her to help out when needed. Are there any organizations out there that she can go to for help with things like seeking affordable housing or applying for a home aid? I'm also open to senior living apts that would have mandarin speaking staff. Thanks in advance

Can anyone give me some locations of „vintage“ photo booths in the upper west side or near Central Park? I want something like a picture strip of 4 pics.

Thank you ❤️

Would prefer it not be a backdrop or have to travel to Florida :)

I did it a few years ago by setting up a few props at a park, but I want somewhere at looks more whimsical, if possible

I live in Southeast Queens, but willing to travel up to an hour or two away.

So someone left their wallet on the train. I’ve gotten different opinions on what to do, trying to decide between from mailing it to their address in their ID, to just giving it to the MTA lost and found. In the past I tried returning to the bank but they refused to take it, and it seems from research the post office also discourages dropping off wallets. The wallet has some vital docs in there so I’d feel better giving the owner the best chance at getting it back

Long story short, I recently went from working 2 jobs to just 1, and now my income puts me in a weird spot with NYC Housing Connect. I make too much for one AMI category but not enough for the next one, so I basically don’t qualify for either studios or 1 bedrooms. It’s just me on my application, too.
I was wondering, if I started donating plasma for extra money, would that count as additional income that I could report to Housing Connect? Could it help push my income into the next AMI bracket so I can qualify for more apartments? And how would they verify it as income since there’s no payslips?

Back in 2022 or 23, I was taken on a date to a wine bar/restaurant in Hell’s Kitchen where they would serve you a spread of cheeses paired with the wine you ordered. I went to go look it up, and it has since closed permanently. Is there anywhere else in the city that does the same thing or something similar? It was such a cool place and the staff were all so knowledgeable. It was called Caselulla.

Wondering what I can do here

My company gives me a wellness credit that was hard to redeem. Went to this clinic to get an IV one day that accepted it. Decided to sign up for their monthly
Plan but ended up not going back the last couple of months so went to cancel. They’re now saying I need to pay for all 6 months if I want to cancel.

This is ridiculous!
I asked them where does it say 6 months?!
They said it was in the email they sent AFTER I HAD SIGNED UP AND IN LINE ITEM SECTION 2 in the digitial small screen contract they had me sign.

This is the first time I am hearing it’s a 6 month commitment verbally only when I wanted to cancel two months in.

Trying to find something cool to do for my friend’s birthday who is a huge horror fan.

I'm 24 and my parent has always been strict so l'm not allowed to ever go anywhere. These strict rules have prevented me from making friends. But this year l'm definitely wanting to go out bc Halloween is on a Saturday and I want to have fun. The thing is I will be alone without friends so how am I supposed to have fun when everyone else will be out with their friend groups? Plus it's NYC so everyone is really gonna be with their groups. Is it not worth going out bc I won't have anyone to hang out with? Any advice? Or places to go?

Hello,

As the title says, I'm currently looking for a private rooftop with a skyline view for a proposal. I want to give my girlfriend of 5 years a dream proposal, and so far the search has been very hard. The date is for 11/21/26, so I'm trying to find one now. I already had a spot set up, got in contact with a photographer, planned everything out, and then found out that the location I picked, DOES NOT allow you to bring your own photographer. Doesn't make sense. I've reached out to a few proposal planners, and now turning to reddit to see if anyone knows any spots.

Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! This might be kind of niche but I’m obsessed with head/back scratching ASMR and would looove to go to one of those sessions. Does anyone know of a place aside from whisper wave that offers something like that? I’m surprised I can’t find anything online in the city!
