Ideas for getting in/out of NYC on the weekends

9 Upvotes

(NYC/Commuter advice)

I went to NYC Saturday night and re-experienced how difficult and expensive it can be. The round-trip alone cost me $60 and added 3 hours of travel time to a 2-hour dinner.

Anyway, it prompted me to revise my list of "alternative ways to get in/out of NYC".

Can you help make this list better?

Sushi!

What’s your favorite sushi spot? I’m still heartbroken over the loss of Daikichi. Haven’t found anything comparable over the years.

Spa Day Suggestions

1 Upvotes

Hello Montclairions! This subreddit has been really helpful since moving to the neighborhood so I thought I’d ask here. I have a girlfriend coming to visit for a girls weekend and we were hoping to have a spa day where we could get foot rubs, a full body massage, and a scalp treatment. I know of a good reliable, affordable place that offers something like this in Flushing, Queens, but was hoping to find something local or at least this side of the Hudson!

Moving to Montclair, NJ from Serbia, is $30k enough to start over?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m 30 years old and planning to move from Serbia to Montclair, New Jersey. I’m trying to figure out whether I’m financially prepared to start a new life in the U.S.
I currently have around $30,000 in savings. Would that realistically be enough to get started — rent an apartment, pay the deposit and other move-in costs, buy a decent used car, get insurance, furniture and cover my living expenses while I look for work?

Looking for some local music

5 Upvotes

I hope it’s ok to post this here but I am searching for local mixtapes and albums from NJ rappers. I am a big fan of a lot and want to find anything connected with Montclair and Newark and all of Essex county. I am happy to buy files but prefer to buy the original CDs if possible.

I am looking for music from artists connected to Naught By Nature, II records, Jerzey Mob, Imperial S1, Frontline, Dirty Bert, Hak Mob, Large Amount Boyz, Diezzle Don and Govna Mattic, Beico Black and so many more. Any help would be appreciated!!

Open to suggestions too!!

Woof....

I hope this wakes up the Woke 1.0 voters in town and make them realize that if they want to vote in activists to the school board or town council, that these elected officials are at least competent or hire competent people...

My parents who live in Upper Montclair just lost their grey cat Babr. He is very shy and skiddish. Please message me if you see a cat that looks like him but do not go up to him, he will run away. They have called the local shelters and are actively looking for him

UPDATE:

My parents told me they found him! I don’t know the details of where he was yet since I don’t live in NJ but he is okay! Thank you to everyone who have suggestions it was really appreciated!

Help Recreating Gary #2 from Watching Deli

Looking to try recreate a DIY version of this amazing sandwich. Was it roast beef, russian dressing, and possibly a cheese on a kiser roll? I moved out of state in 09 and would always looking forward to getting one when we came back to visit the area but alas this is no longer an option. Thanks in advance.
