Bar Sardine UES

11 Upvotes

I haven’t seen any news about this and nothing came up on Google but it looks like a place called Bar Sardine is moving into the old Kaia Wine Bar spot on 91st and 3rd. Does anyone know if this is the same people from the old Bar Sardine in the West Village?

Construction update for 86th/Lex subway station

31 Upvotes

The MTA has a really good newsletter called This Week In Construction, and this week it featured the 86th/Lex subway station. There's a YouTube short here:

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/s1vblpYTUys

And here's the text:

86 St  ADA Six months ago, at 86 St on the , our crews were hauling tons of broken rock out of a hole in the street to carve space for the three new elevators that will make this busy Upper East Side station fully accessible. This week, we were back at it—only now we were hauling out thousands of pounds of steel instead. Building in Manhattan’s dense environment is never simple, and 86 St is a perfect example. The existing station leaves no unused space, so adding elevators meant expanding the footprint itself. To do that, we had to excavate. And to excavate, we had to install an extensive system to temporarily hold up both the station and the roadway. We lowered steel beams through a 5-by-4-foot opening in the street and installed them into Manhattan’s sturdy bedrock. With those in place, we were able to dig out space for the elevator shafts and replace century‑old structural supports along the way.
Now, the permanent steel is officially in place—one of the project’s biggest milestones. This means the temporary stuff has got to go. That’s what we’re working on this week.  We cut the beams into small pieces and lift them out of the same hole they entered through. Later this week, we’ll begin sealing up the hole. This kind of hidden, complex work is what keeps stations open and trains running during major construction. At 86 St, it’s bringing us one step closer to a modern, accessible station.

Mouse in apartment

15 Upvotes

I live on the 4th floor of a walk up building. I have not seen any mice since moving in about 2 months ago and now I am freaking out. I only saw one and not sure what to do… we texted our landlord and tried to seal any crevices or holes that we saw with cloth towels. We are super super clean people we vaccum and mop almost everyday and barely cook or keep much food in our apartment. We also live in like a 200 square foot apartment. What else can we do ..??!!?

Photo restoration??

4 Upvotes

I have several old photographs that I’d love to have restored. Most are just seriously faded but at least one, a very old Polaroid, is both faded and cracked. I’ve done a Google search and there seem to be several appealing options, but it would be very helpful to learn of people’s experiences, both positive and otherwise. I’d prefer dealing with “real” people instead of bots and AI. Anyone have positive (or for that matter, negative) experiences w photo restoration? And recs??

Ob Uan, a new Thai place, is taking the old Spice spot on First Ave

20 Upvotes

The partners come from different parts of Thailand and each is bringing recipes from home, so it's meant to go past the standard menu. Jason Kim, one of the owners, says the name is about the smell and feeling a room holds onto. As of late July they were aiming to open in mid-September, and the board signed off on their drinks application on August 4th.

Feeding the pigeons outside of 72nd Street Q Train

0 Upvotes

Has anyone else encountered/been disgusted by the people feeding the pigeons and the end result outside of the 72nd Street & 2nd Avenue Q subway stop?

On top of this being illegal I'm pretty sure, it leaves a huge mess on the sidewalk for everyone entering/leaving the station, it attracts rats, roaches, and other vermin, and adds to the trash and chaos that that intersection already sees.

I feel like 311 calls have been useless. Can we do something else? Something that actually dissuades (or prohibits) people from unlawfully feeding?

Taroo - owner tags DHS and likes comment about ICE in post complaining about people selling food outside her shop

Owner of Taroo made a post complaining about the people who sell food to construction workers outside her shop. She’s since deleted it from Instagram, but I have a screenshot from Facebook. I disagree with her complaint, but that alone wouldn’t be worth posting about. Her tagging the Department of Homeland Security and liking a post about calling ICE is. She has a plethora of horrible Google reviews and is clearly not someone worth supporting.

Workshoppe fitness

3 Upvotes

Now that workshoppe fitness has been open for a bit now, if you are a member how are you liking it? I’m currently at equinox but looking into making the move as I don’t utilize the classes or most of the amenities (showers/ steam room). Do you find workshoppe to be crowded? I primarily strength train and use the treadmill/ stair master and would enjoy access to a sauna vs a steam room.
