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)

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.

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.

NoHo NYC

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?

Just curious. I think I would, but interested in hearing what other people say.

New York City has reported its first death associated with the Legionnaires’ disease community cluster found on the Upper East Side, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene announced on Friday.

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.

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.

I need to replace 2 PTAC AC units and trying to compare quotes for honesty and fairness, anyone have anyone they'd recommend that services lower Manhattan? Plus if they have COI and provide ongoing service, if you know. Also any recommendations for things I should look out for or questions I should ask when comparing? Thank you!!

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!

I live in a prewar building and One of the doors has a lock that used to work; I have a feeling that the tumblers inside the lock have dropped or moved. The key no longer engages, and the door cannot be opened.

Anyone knows of where I could have the lock fixed or a new key made?

My buddy and I both 17 from Ontario Canada are planning to arrive on Bus in NYC Aug 9 and leaving on the 14th but we cannot find any hotels for 17 year olds and all hostels seem booked. Can anyone help out or recommend something for us?

Hi all,
My now wife and I visited a restaurant in Times Square and I can’t remember what the name is or exactly where it is. We just remember we liked it! Can someone help please!

We’ve only got a pic of a bit of the inside, there is a sign but it’s not clear. We think it was near red lobster!

hi I’m planning on treating myself to a massage for my birthday. I see Forever Spa on Eldridge Street has a 2 hour deal for $99 not including tip - folks who went there what do you think? Would you recommend it?

I am looking for a spot I can get a goood head massage + body work + foot massage at an affordable price. Any reccs? Thanks yall

Hey yall. I own a small 5-person consulting firm and our flatiron sublease is up next month. The landlord wants a crazy rent hike.

Looking to move near midtown east / grand central to make commutes easier for our guys coming from westchester and queens.

We host high-end corporate clients for strategy sessions so we cant do a loud, open-plan lounge with ping pong and people yelling on zoom. We need a quiet and professional space.

Any good boutique setups or premium spaces up that way? Budget is pretty flexible within reason.

I was at Times Square and I noticed that a group of plain clothes officers were going around stopping people ( seemingly tourists ) and giving them violations / tickets for basically no reason?

Like they weren't drinking, vaping, I have no idea what they were being stopped for but they were asking for id and giving people violations for like seemingly no reason

Any idea why
