860 grand concourse bronx ny 10451
Why is Flinders Street Station so disgusting?
2023.06.05 13:35 arkie Why is Flinders Street Station so disgusting?
Specifically referring to the concourse here. Central Station in Sydney was upgraded - why is our premier train station in the city so horrible? The floors are old shitty tiles that are always filthy, the toilets are gross. Any idea why it was never redeveloped?
I know they re painted the facade a couple of years ago but it doesn’t seem like there has been much else.
It’s kind of embarrassing that people always talk about this station being some landmark for tourists - yet it’s such a disgusting station when compared to many stations like Central Station Sydney, Grand Central NY. Sure the facade is nice, but that seems to be about it.

2023.06.03 05:11 DonnCuailnge Other Borough's Equivalent to walking Broadway?
Some criteria that are nice about Broadway in Manhattan that you'd want for the other boroughs:
submitted by DonnCuailnge to AskNYC [link] [comments]
- It goes from one edge to another, not just a really long street in the borough
- You get a good cross section, which, while not touching all that is contained within Manhattan, gives a good sampling
- It's not just a thoroughfare, there are businesses and stuff on the street rather than just cars traveling along it.
- Brooklyn - Flatbush Ave from Manhattan Bridge to Floyd Bennett
- Bronx - Grand Concourse or Webster Ave; both are close to each other. GC seems more iconic, but Webster actually goes the full run North-South
- Queens - ?? Qns Boulevard and then turn on to Woodhaven? Doesn't seem like a single street fits the bill
- SI - Who cares?

2023.05.30 05:58 CalcagnoMaps What do you think? Merging Hagstrom routes/station labels with the 1979 base map?
 | A couple of nights ago, I was fooling around with a 1979 subway map that I drew from the ground up to challenge myself to replicate it. submitted by CalcagnoMaps to TransitDiagrams [link] [comments] I decided to try to merge some design features of the 1940s Hagstrom subway map using 1979 subway map routings. I thought about doing the whole map but before I go any further than what I already made (Bronx and northern Manhattan (145 St and north). -Made street lines thinner to maximize station label displays. -Changing station labels from Helvetica to News Gothic Std (both CAPS and regular as you will see Bronx is all CAPS and northern Manhattan regular) I kinda like all CAPS (as it was shown on Hagstrom's map) and - Colorize route stops with Raleway Black Italic font (Bold is full-time. Light is part-time) -Changing neighborhood/park name font to Neuton Italic. -Bullets have a thin black circle -Waterways and parks closely match Hagstrom's. Park has small sprinkled black borders, not sure if I would use it for now. Ignore Woodlawn Cemetery's background as I'm trying to find something to show other than regular parks. I'm open to any design suggestions, thanks! Proposed Map Design Merging 1940s Hagstrom Subway Map with 1979 Subway Map |

2023.05.25 21:31 TimidGiant_ Moving to NYC
Hi everyone, I am a South Asian moving to NY for the first time for my internal medicine residency. I am looking for apartments and have been on a couple of virtual tours. I am considering either Harlem or Bronx to live as it is near my work place. I would need to walk a couple of blocks to get to my bus stop. I found two apartments, one near Striver's row in Central Harlem and another in Sheridan Avenue in 164th street in Bronx. As a complete noob to NYC and easily intimidated single brown woman, which would be a better option? The rent and other amenities are comparable. Which areas in Harlem would you recommend? How safe is Yankee stadium and Concourse in Bronx?

As I wrapped up May’s "Things to Do" post, I told myself, “Okay, that was fun. I’m done now.”
And I was done. But then u/Beautiful_Ad_ asked for June. It always amazes me how tiny interactions can grow into full-blown undertakings. Apparently one brief message at the right time was the motivation I needed for one more month. So to you, internet stranger: I hope these help you plan your trip. What can I say; these are fun for me to make.
Every time I compile these lists, I wind up with a bunch of events that don't make the final cut. So for this month, I offer a few honorable mentions, separate from my list where I match exactly one event per day of the month:

2023.05.11 02:42 6inchsubstrate WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?
 | $92,000/yr minimum income required to get this studio in the hood. Need I say more? Median household income is just over half that and for an individual it's even less. Nobody's talking about the fact that a majority of people literally can't afford to move, we have an entire population stuck where they are because they're effectively priced out of society. If you don't have close friends or family you are genuinely financially screwed as an individual. I don't even understand how people are popping out babies when the cost of living is this ridiculous? submitted by 6inchsubstrate to bronx [link] [comments] |

2023.05.09 07:56 VerbalK23 8 night well-researched first timer itinerary check for May 2023
Hi there! I appreciate any insight you all can provide over this itinerary. I know it seems like a lot, but this is how I do all of my trips. It may also seem over-planned, but I work backwards from ticketed events and activities so it makes sense how everything falls into place. With that said, I definitely am not afraid to change on a dime and scrap/alter the plan. This is my first time in the city and my goal is to experience as much as I reasonably can. So, with no further adieu:
Wednesday, 5/10: Arrival
-Land at LGA at 4:35, bus to hostel in UWS, check in by 6pm or so. Grab a slice at Mama's Too and another at Sal and Carmine, then on the Subway to get to the Fat Black Pussycat for a 7:35 show (reservation made). Grab some falafel or something from Mamoun's, then head back to the hostel to call it a night.
Thursday:
-I realized my body will still feel on Vegas time when I plan to start my day at roughly 7am. Oh well.
-Subway to 9/11 Museum for 8am Early Access tour, with quick breakfast beforehand at Stage Door Delicatessen. I figure I will be at the museum for about 3 hours, leaving at roughly 11 am.
-Explore FiDi on way to Chinatown. Bits of lunch at various places (Golden Steamer, Wah Fung, Xi'an Famous). Explore Chinatown.
-New York Media Boat tour at 2:30, leaves near 9/11 museum so a bit of a backtrack.
-After boat, take Subway to Times Square for Free live music with Jazz at Lincoln Center show at 5 pm.
- Around the corner to Shubert Theater for 7 pm Some Like I Hot show.

Well, what do you think? What would you change? Like I said, I know it's a lot, but I've looked painstakingly at geography, transit times, all of it. I use a fabulous app called Wanderlog for creating my plan and it's been a real game changer for me. You can't control for everything, but I feel good about the plan in general. Things will inevitably change. That's OK.
