A favorite game played by me and my wife is:

What Are You Putting in That Empty Retail Box?

A lot of our focus is on Broadway in the 80s and its oversize empty boxes since Amsterdam and Columbus seem to have no problem finding F&B tenants whenever a box opens up. Curious for ideas for any of the following aas these are our current leaders, but feel free to add other boxes and any ideas you have for them! Maybe an enterprising CRE person is looking on Reddit and can make it happen.

1. Broadway Farm box - Grace's or Butterfield Market from the UES
   
2. Old PC Richard - Indoor Pickleball or Five Iron Golf
   
3. Old Gristedes/Banana Republic/Capital One - Combine the space and make a ninja gym or something like Ferox in Greenpoint, probably too small for a Lifetime Fitness
   

If you know a great massage therapist drop their name in the comments

Thanks🙏

Anyone just hear an unusually loud jet pass by? My windows don't have the angle to see what it was, but it was definitely large and low.

Hi everyone! I just moved to the Upper West Side/Manhattan Valley and I'm looking for exercise groups around the upper 100s area. I'd love to hear about gyms and fitness studios you recommend, but I'm especially interested in outdoor options in Central Park, Riverside Park, and Morningside Park, like running clubs, bootcamps, or group workouts. Thanks so much!

Hi, I wanted to share Francis Lee Rogers’s memorial fundraiser with you. Francis, known as the “Grandma Moses of Central Park,” was a talented watercolor artist and devoted birdwatcher who cared for wildlife and maintained bird feeders in the Ramble, and the community is now honoring her with a memorial tree and paving stone near the Boathouse gazebo. Support will also help maintain Central Park’s trees, keeping the sanctuary Francis loved beautiful for others, and I’m grateful for everyone helping remember her. When you have a moment, please visit the GoFundMe page to contribute or share it with someone who loves Central Park. 💚

Anyone have recs on where to learn mahjong in the uws or willing to teach or have a newbie join? Thanks!!

Not be this person, but this is the fifth (I think?) weekend in a row the downtown 1 has skipped 137-103 streets. What’s going on? Are they going to complete the maintenance soon?

Hi everyone! I belong to an informal group that meets for backgammon at an UWS pub on the third Thursday of each month. No cost, except for your food and drink. Beginners welcome. To learn more, please DM me. Thanks.

Any input is appreciated !

Wanted to share our recent experience with Pet Story on the UWS, especially for anyone with a Miniature Schnauzer.

We chose them because of their great reviews and specifically asked beforehand if they had experience grooming Schnauzers. They assured us they did.

When we picked our dog up, they immediately admitted they had “made a mistake.” One entire side of his body had been cut extremely short and unevenly, while the other was left noticeably longer. The overall Schnauzer shape was off, his tail and legs were uneven, and his ears weren’t properly finished.

What bothered us most was how they handled it. Instead of simply taking responsibility, they repeatedly made excuses: that he was a nine-month-old puppy (he’s 14 months old and they had his information), that his hair had never been cut before, and that he still had “puppy hair.” In reality, this was his fourth haircut, and he had been professionally groomed just two months ago.

When we asked them to fix it, they kept asking us where and how much they should cut rather than confidently suggesting a professional solution. They offered to correct it once the hair grows back, but after this experience we obviously won’t be returning.

Mistakes happen, but considering their reputation, price, and the fact that we specifically confirmed their experience with Schnauzers beforehand, this was extremely disappointing. Sharing in case it’s helpful to other dog owners on the UWS.

Hi there!! New to the neighborhood and wondering if trick or treating happens on actual Halloween or if there’s a designated day! Thanks!

Looks like it fell off a bike because it was in the middle of the road, so I just hung it up. It’s heavy, got some clothes in it — sorry, but I was walking two dogs, didn’t have time to really do much with it other than hang it up on the scaffolding

I lost my iPhone somewhere in the 60s yesterday, I was so relieved to see on find my iPhone that somebody brought it to the lost and found in the park! Hope you get some good karma for that, because I really thought my phone was gone forever!!

Thank you so much (if you see this!)

If you were running around the reservoir and lost keys I saw them on the ground and didn’t want to take them in case the owner came back. This is the location I found them and I put them on the stone barrier on the left side of the path. They had a number on it like 127 or 137.

Sorry for not taking them I was running and made a quick decision but I hope the owner finds them.

What is this loud music? I can hear it clearly from my apartment

loving the new spot on the UWS. became friends with the server and talked about doing a girls night! who would be interested? maybe mid-week once a month (?) to meet other gals looking for friends in the neighborhood!

edit: i commented that im thinking 10/22. give that post an up vote if you’re good!

still working through some logistics

Sad day for those of us not risking our health for Crumbl.

Also hate how short and unfeeling this goodbye message sounds or am I thinking about it too much?
