We pay around $15–20 for gas and $75–100 for electric in a 2br. Heating is steam heat so it's not included. Biggest cost is window unit A/C in the summer, electronics, and probably the giant fridge I hate.

I don't pay that much for gas due to having an excellent new boiler. My old one costs almost 300 a month to keep warm in the winter months. Now we usually pay around 100 bucks.
I've had shake shack in London, it was terrible. shake shack was a dream, it never was good. let me eat my tears when shake shack existed at Madison Park.

They were cancelled?
I saw a bunch were going off towards Grand Army Plaza but could only get a partial view because of all the fog.
I literally got a notification from the organizers that they were canceled 😰 maybe those were from neighbors?
Screenshot I took that evening:

We have a few places we already hit, but more options are always good.

Oof, they're closing this Nathan's that was not far from my house in Dyker Heights. Sad.

Well, thanks for destroying years of process on the MTA's part. I vaguely recall the three-year-long plan getting sour faces in public neighborhood meetings when this was originally discussed. This new plan will take eons in comparison. I also can't help but remember how many Manhattanites fought to stop aspects of the L train plan because of their own parking and quality of life issues.
So, remind me who this governor is trying to help?
I'm almost certain some real estate lobbyist greased his palms.
Mmmhmm. I'm also sure Andrew just felt the need to swoop in and "save the day" but I'm so tired of him doing this kind of thing. It would be great if he actually supported the MTA.
I honestly don't think he wants to deal with any City ran organization. New York State gets most of it's income from Manhattan, but he has some sort of weird hard on against his bread and butter.
UPDATE // 1:30 p.m.] Mary Boyce, the dean of Columbia's engineering school, and Lance Collins, the dean of Cornell's engineering school, have spent the better part of 30 minutes talking about the technical aspects of their recommendations (see slides above), which include using LIDAR and "smart technology" that allow for the constant monitoring of tunnel conditions, allowing workers to identify areas of deterioration before they become problem sites.
"No closure of the service is necessary with this new design," Boyce says. "[The work] can be completed with weekend and night time closures and doing it one tube at a time. This leaves one train always available to do the back and forth."
[UPDATE // 1:44 p.m.] The MTA's acting chair, Fernando Ferrer, tells reporters that on Cuomo's new timeline, repairs are supposed to last 15 to 20 months. Trains will run with "15-20 minute headways on nights and weekends," which Ferrer says is the same as regular night service.
"No L-pocalypse," Ferrer said.
"What this group did is looked at the various needs, scoured the world, and came up with the best ideas across the world and then knit together a program," Cuomo said. "No one has used fiber optic system cables on bench walls to detect motion. I don't even know what that means. No one has ever used fiber glass wrapping on bench walls so you don't have to replace them. This has never been done before

Never ever been to New York but I want to move there so badly. It seems such a cool place to a British boy like me.
It better work. I'm worried this method isn't good enough and will end up causing a disaster in the tunnels.
Selfishly I'm kind of glad for this news because it means less people fleeing south and raising rates in the neighborhoods I'd be looking at.
But it's NYC. There's absolutely no way this works as well or as quickly as they're proposing. It feels very much like he's kicking the can down the road for short-term gains of special interests.

Instigators: don't assault police officers. don't fuck with people at subway stations.
Police officers: don't beat the shit out of perps that are already down. just arrest them and be done with it.

My brother told me about this. Cops have a major blood lust and the guys should know better than to attack them. They should have walked away when the cops told them to. That station usually does get its share of sketchy people smoking outside though. Combine that with food cart vendors and a busy sidewalk from the hospital and schools nearby and you have a bad recipe.
Here's a thread for the next meet-up: https://www.resetera.com/threads/nyc-era-meetup-friday-february-1-2019-new-year-new-york.94147/
Hey friends, I received my first ever speeding violation in Westchester County. I've been driving for 15 years, never had a single infraction. I was legitimately speeding, going 64mph in a 45mph area, only for a brief moment to pass a driver that was bobbing all over the road. I was caught in that moment but the cop was not interested in listening to my story. I admit I was wrong to speed, and I would pay a fine without issue, I am just nervous about the ramifications of pleading guilty. Does anyone have any advice?
I've been thinking a lot about what should replace it. Honestly, if any business should open there, I'm hoping it's a Firehouse Subs. Anything that's not another burger place. There's already a whole bunch in that area including a BurgerFi right across the street.
Yep, people mentioned SHake Shack but nope, don't want one of those there. I'd actually love a Firehouse Subs right there.
Yep, agreed. Overrated. I've stopped going there for burgers. I think that Burger Fi place is actually pretty good.
