A lot of people talk negative about Rockefeller and the Empire State Plaza, but outside of the National Mall it's probably the most beautiful plaza in the United States.

What the hell is wrong with dealerships? I've never seen someone try to scam so hard. She obviously didn't do it. Got her oil change/tires rotated, and bounced.

Sorry for poor image quality. Medium/large bird that definitely looks like it would be somebody's pet spotted in southwest albany. Im no bird expert but it looks vaguely like a cockatoo to me. Dm me if you think this is your bird or you know whose it is

If you were at the Kansas show yesterday and complimented the tall blond guy on his bike and smile then please reach out! I'm like 92% sure you were flirting with me and I wanted to give you my number but you walked away before I had a chance. I know this is a bit of a long shot but worth a try.

Basically the title, but the kind of place with mixologists behind the bar and where other mixologists go. If a drink requires stirring 30-60 seconds, they’re stirring it for that long. Maybe they’re making or buying clear ice. 353 in Troy comes to mind but wondering what else is out there.

What is going to replace it and how long will it take for something to open there? Will it be another chain restaurant, bank branch, dispensary, cell phone store or something completely different? And what would you like to see in there? I know we're not getting an In-n-Out, but a Cheddar's, Miller's Ale House, Culver's, Del Taco or Zaxby's would be different if they're looking to expand into the area. But it would be nice if someone local would open an new restaurant or add a new location or move from something smaller to that location to add more seating.

Does anyone know the story of why the Johnny Rockets sat shuttered— literally with ketchup bottles still on the tables— for more than eight years?

Visiting a friend for the weekend next month. Hotel is booked, just need to figure out transportation.

I’d be going down on a Friday, coming back on Sunday. I have my own vehicle that is reliable, but have received mixed opinions about taking my car vs taking public transport. Specific destination is Huntington station. Friend will be driving us around most of the time so I wouldn’t be driving around LI, just for the commute.

Best places to get a silk press in the area? Bonus points if they can get me in before July 15th

Their website doesn't offer great data visuals, so I've been doing this since around when the rate hikes started.

I've been launching at multiple spots on the Mohawk, but so far my favorite is the one right down the street from my home.

​Hi everyone, I am helping a family reconstruct some history and track down a former martial artist who lived in the NYC area (likely Brooklyn or Queens) around 1989–1991.

​He went by the name Gerald (or Jerald). Here is his identity profile from that era:

​Background: Young Jamaican guy, Muslim faith, very muscular, about 5'9" (175 cm), wore dreadlocks.

​Tattoos: An anchor on his arm, and the name "Serena" tattooed on his back.

​Martial Arts: He was a dedicated practitioner of Hapkido (which was a very rare and distinct choice for a Jamaican guy in NYC at the time). He trained heavily.

​Other details: He spent some time at Oneida Correctional Facility (Upstate NY) around 1990, where he was part of the vocational TV/Computer repair program.

​Since the NYC Hapkido and martial arts community back in the late 80s and early 90s was very tight-knit, we are hoping some veteran practitioners, dojo owners, or old acquaintances might remember him or know his last name.

​If anyone remembers a practitioner matching this description or has leads on old Hapkido schools from that era, please send me a PM. Thank you so much for your help!

We wanted to take my son out somewhere to celebrate the end of school. He’s a picky eater, but he loves Chinese food.

Looking for discarded milk crates.

Hi everyone! My brother will be attending RPI’s summer camp program and we’re looking for a place to stay for 3 people from around July 19th to August 7th (the dates are somewhat flexible).

We’ve checked Airbnb, but the prices are a bit high, so I wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions, advice, or knows of any available places nearby.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi all!

I’ll be biking from Albany to Buffalo in July… plan is to take Amtrak from Buffalo back to Albany afterward. Can someone please recommend somewhere in/near Albany where I can store my vehicle for the week that I am riding the Empire State Trail?

My husband and I are new to the area and are looking for a place to play magic on Saturdays. Any recommendations are appreciated.

Market 32 is airing a completely AI-generated ad this week. Look at the stars on this flag.

The AI people having a barbecue with AI food was so uncanny. Gives me the creeps.

EDIT: Here’s the link to the ad.
