Does anyone here go to SVA? I'll be visiting New York for a week with my mom's boss's daughter and am going to check out the school while I'm there. How do you feel about the school acedemically and socially? I'm looking at animation or illustration.

I'll be in Manhattan on that side note. where are some cool places to eat, shop, visit?
Hi! Wanted to let you know about Animal Rights Awareness Day in Union Square on Sunday, June 3rd. Here is a trial run of a sample dance and poetry performance (I'm speaking the poem).

Hope to see you at this amazing event. :)

I have a spare ticket for "Don't Dress for Dinner" tomorrow night (Friday) at 8:00pm. I paid $12 for the ticket.

The only catch is that it has to be used by someone who is 35 or younger, since the tickets are part of the HIPTIX program. Anyone interested?

I know apartment posts are nobody's favorite, so here's a cute picture to warm you up. ;)



My guy and I are looking for a place in Astoria, to move in August 1, and we're looking to pay around $1600/mo. That cute thing up there is his (soon to be our!) 1 year old pit bull mix, so the place has to be dog friendly. We'd love a 2BR to have space for a little home office, but a spacious 1BR would work too.

Ideally, we'd like somewhere off the Ditmars stop, to be closer to Astoria Park, but we also liked the areas around the 30 Ave and Broadway stops.

We'd be willing to pay a little more if the place had any of the following:
- access to a yard (for the dog)
- on-site laundry
- a designated parking space

Any leads? Thanks!
24th-May-2012 03:47 pm - Mekupelet Bars?
Does anyone in here know where I can find Mekupelet bars in NYC?

They're basically the Israeli equivalent of the Cadbury Flake bar. I know they have them at the Holyland Market on St. Mark's but I was wondering if anyone here knew where I could find them elsewhere, especially because Alphabet City is a bit of a hike from Upper Manhattan. I've checked the Kosher supermarket in the West 80s/Broadway and they had some Israeli snacks but not Mekupelet.
21st-May-2012 02:42 pm - Best Time to Apartment Hunt
intergalactic
I need to apartment hunt but I'm out of town and don't have a place to stay in NY. When I arrive in NY I don't want want to spend a lot of money on temporary boarding so I'd like to make the apartment hunt as short as possible. If you only have 2 weeks to find your own apartment, when would you fly into NYC and start looking? 1st-14th to find something by the 15th... 15th-31st to find something by the 1st?

Also, keep in mind that while I do have plenty of savings (enough to cover at least a year's worth of rent up to 1300/mo) I will not have employment at the time I'm seeking an apartment. I will need to find an owner/landlord that is ok with that and will take some cash upfront. I also do not want to pay a broker for help.

15th-May-2012 10:57 am - sweaters? (solid sweaters)
need a basic solid men's sweater (crew neck preferred) for tomorrow, and after looking around a number of stores throughout the city, it seems that they stop carrying them during the spring / summer. seems like a basic item overstocked throughout the winter months that would be carried throughout the year, so i'm a little surprised that it's hard to find just a basic sweater.

any thoughts as to where i might be able to pick up a solid men's sweater today?
