I was hoping there might be a thread dedicated to this, the video and pics coming out are alarming to say the least.
But the official NYC thread will work as well.
I've never seen smoke flow into areas like that, pretty creepy looking.
School canceled in the city tomorrow. (Unofficially)

I've never seen anything like this before, and the smell is tough to take. The news has said it's the worst since the 80s, but even though I was a kid in the 80s I don't remember this kind of air quality. Had to wear a mask early afternoon when taking the dog out and going to get lunch and again a couple of hours ago for her evening walk.

Two friends in the city are reporting this but I don’t see anything official yet. Don’t want to be “that guy.”

Wow. After 9/11 it was pretty bad and the smoke lingered for days downtown but this looks like a completely different beast. Hope it starts to clear up for you guys.

Waaaaaaay worse than 9/11, which was localized south of the towers due to prevailing winds and pretty gorgeous sep days. I was in a zoom after lunch with my GC in philly... The empire state building is 18 blocks due north of my office and it looms over the buildings outside the window at my desk- I have a direct view of it. I literally lost sight of it around 3 today. And eyes and throat feel like rubbed with sandpaper. Awful out there.

Nick- our school is on, but all outdoor activities are out.
 
Public schools are closed today but unrelated to this event as it was pre planned closure some teacher Clerical day or some such. My sons private school is open.

ETA - today is chancellor’s day so staff and teachers are there for training but no kids.

It was a very New York moment when I noticed the smoke Tuesday.

I was in a restaurant in Chelsea, and stepped outside (7 pm?) to make a phone call, and noticed the smell, then the haze. Like in LA. Smelled like a big fire two towns over. I am on the phone with my business partner, and was telling him about the smell and the haze, and I was thinking out loud, oh man is this from Canada? Some guy walking by is like, yeah, I think so, and the panhandler in the wheelchair with no legs was like, yes this is from the Canada fire.

I went out yesterday to the market, and the breathing difference was noticeable. My buddy in South Jersey said the same thing, their air quality measurements were as bad as New York.
 
What do you guys think about this new composting thing?

Not quite sure how they enforce this.

We were thinking of getting something like this.

We're in a 7-story building connected to another 7-story by a common lobby. Compost will be on the way out the side door we usually take when we leave so should be convenient.

Off topic - wish they made electronics recycling a little easier by having collection days more often at more locations.
 
Two weeks ago one of my friends was looking at his phone waiting for a train and was randomly pushed onto the subway tracks as a train was entering the station. Luckily, he managed to avoid the train. No mention in the news. Stay safe our there.
 
Through a series of unfortunate incidents, I was at West 4th st at about 5 pm.

The Pride Parade starts at noon. If you are still on the sidewalks at 5 pm, you are probably a bit of a wreck as a person, and definitely a wreck that particular day.

It's a sad world that we even have to think about this.

But yeah, my head is always on a swivel when I'm on the platform. Never on my phone, never stand directly facing the platform. (Always at an angle). There's absolute lunatics out there

Yep. The wall is also your friend. Find one (or some sort of obstruction to have your back).
 
Heading to the city next week with my wife as a last trip before I have to actually start working again like a commoner.

Staying at the Renaissance Chelsea (need only seven more nights to become Platinum FOREVER! with Marriott). We will be staying in the city Tue/Wed/Thu night and then heading upstate to visit my sister for the weekend.

Some friends just opened a wine bar in Miami so we are going to spend some time doing some R&D for them. Not going to lie; it's not a reach...

Looking for some places that have good wine-by-the-glass and excellent food. I have a few on the list already based on recommendations and YouTube.

Corkbuzz (Chelsea and/or Union Square)
10 Bells
Pure Wine
Della's

We are both wine novices, but learning, and are gastronomic adventurers so that's what is going to be fulfilling our time in the city. Also looking for some good pizza. Have been a fan of John's/Bleecker style pizza so any reco's near the Chelsea area would be appreciated.

I was thinking about MOMA during the day. We like modern art but have our limits. Won't be spending all day there but may be worth a stop for a couple of hours in between meals.

We are big mid-century modern fans. Are there any museums that have exhibits focused on MCM?

We are probably going to go to Manitoga in Garrison NY on Saturday. Have any locals ever been there? It's the home of Russell Wright, an industrial designer

That's so random. I went there during architecture grad school. Very cool spot, but not exactly go out of your way worthy unless you're a huge R Wright fan. Reminds me a lot of California style mid/late-mid century modernism... the woodsy, built to site stuff, not the international style Neutral stuff (which I also love)

My sister lives in Newburgh so we were going to be driving that way to get there. Figured it was worth a stop. We collect and sell MCM/Modern design stuff so we are familiar with his furniture and dinnerware/pottery.

I live in Beacon. Shout if you come over the bridge while you are in Newburgh.

I'm normally not a pasta guy but their spaghetti is incredible. Start with some fresh focaccia and wagyu carpaccio. For dessert, the olive oil cake is top notch. Great wine list as well. Enjoy!

note: It has become quite popular over the years so definitely recommend reservations or just a midweek lunch visit. They also have a more casual spot just down the street called B'Artusi which is also worthwhile: https://www.bartusinyc.com/about-us/

Il buco is a couple blocks away, and where I took my wife on our first date.

Our favorite neighborhood date night around the corner spot is pasta/wine... il posto accanto. Very low key, and consistently great. Not tippy top finest dining or atmosphere, but really great.

We're not oenophiles, so can't speak to much to the wine, which features heavily italian. That said, had a glass of three of montepulciano there recently... abondanza!

Little hang out lounge that does champagne. They are serious about champagne, last time I went, I didn't recognize any of the bottles on the list. They are connected to, and upstairs from, one of my favorite date spots:

 
Spent Thanksgiving in the City with my family (wife, 13 yr old daughter, 10 yr old son). Had a fantastic week. Stayed at the Knickerbocker, did all the touristy stuff. Lady Liberty, Ellis Island, 9/11 Museum, Top of the Rock, saw the Parade, ate well, etc. Flew into JFK and didn't get in a car all week. By the end of the trip, my kids were grizzled Subway vets and fell in love with the energy of the City.

Had great food in Little Italy, China Town, and several pizza spots. Did Thanksgiving at Jacob's Pickles - not Michelin level dining but for a family of 4 on TGiving they knocked it out of the park. Never once felt unsafe. This idea that NYC is some kind of hellhole (as a certain cable news network describes it) absolute nonsense.

Central Park was beautiful. The Rockettes aren't my cup of tea, but my wife wanted to see the show and it was great spending an evening at Radio City MH.

Such an incredible, wonderful place to live and visit. I hope one of my kids either goes to school there or works there for at least a year or two. The older I get, I realize my life regrets will be not living in more amazing cities if even for a short time. NYC at the top of that list. Those of you who make the City your home - kudos.

Sounds like a great trip. One of my best life choices was leaving my first job out of school, moving to NYC and finding a way. Definitely miss living there.

Well... First time for everything..

With my daughter at the 2nd Ave F stop heading uptown. I noticed a guy laying at the bottom of the stairs on the downtown side acting kind of crazy...thrashing around and yelling moaning. A minute later, I watch him yell louder and start rolling to the edge of the platform...right down onto the tracks. Seemed unfazed by falling or anything else, still thrashing and yelling/moaning.

I called 911 as soon as I saw him go over (and hope I wasn't the only one) and then heard the downtown train coming.

Fortunately.. and I'd guess somewhat intentionally, he rolled into the inside and rarely/never used express tracks- not the active downtown local tracks where the F was arriving.

2 random strangers reached down and lifted him up and stood with him on the platform while he continued his thrashing moaning on the platform.

Then our uptown train arrived and off we went.

No emergency services showed up during the 4-5 minutes while this happens.

Oh... I dunno. Nobody else on the planet has ever mentioned it to me besides you, so its not like you missed the Sistine chapel or falling water. It's a cool spot, but not go out of your way life changing.

So no subway spa day? Subway birthday party? Subway kids play date? Subway night out with the missus?

I mean... I'm not sure what other purpose it was intended for.

My wife and I took our 13 year old daughter and her friend for 3 days between Xmas and New Years. We did a lot of touristy stuff and had a great time. I haven’t been to NYC in almost 20 years and it was as fun now as it was then. My buddy has a daughter that’s lived in the city for 15 years and she took us to a few places one afternoon. She came from a small town in Ohio and says she hopes to never leave the city. That led my wife and I into the conversation about regretting we didn’t live in a large city in our 20s too. There is so much to see and do in NYC.

My wife and I had the
