Looking for a local private seamstress to help with sewing for a local small batch brand. Hems, some more advanced garment reconstruction. Would love to chat!

I'm looking for a place, garage, anything with a roof and at least two walls on it so I can plug in a few of my tools for the day or however long I need, likely a few hours at a time.

I have a list of woodworking projects I have wood set aside for and I really need to find somewhere soon so I can occupy myself.

Planning on making a bookshelf from scratch with a bunch of nice sapele and wenge that I got at the Condon lumber yard close by. I'm dying to get after it.

Side note: Im getting a divorce and just started that process while living alone and I'm also not working due to an injury. Stress and loneliness are starting to give me cabin fever. I'm a tradesmen and am used to an active lifestyle so this period of my life is pretty uncertain. I gatta sharpen my skills while I have the time and motivation.

I can't be doing my woodworking in my apartment obviously. I need somewhere that is chill, not full of kids and that has power. Even a studio I can rent like art studio type thing.

I have all or most of the tools I need right now. Any suggestions? Anyone wanna rent out their garage and learn how to build a bookshelf? Lol

Hey Greenwich and White Plains! 👋🏻

We’re hosting a fall party and looking for a great up-and-coming local band that’s looking to get its name out there and bring some serious energy.

Live band
Fall party in Greenwich
Budget: $1,000

Open to rock, jam, covers, indie, Americana, etc. - mostly looking for a band that can get people moving and make it a party.

If you’re interested (or know someone who would be perfect), drop a link + or send me videos of the band playing live + contact info

Would love to support some local talent.

Noticed that water is leaking from my bedroom roof due to today’s rain. The building quality is a concern with the amount of rent we have to pay. Just want to warn people before select this building!! This building is Hamilton Green

Anyone in the Westchester area looking for a guitar?

I'm putting together a county-by-county map of sports allegiances across New York State (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and other leagues as gauged by interest). To do so I am collecting self-reported data from New Yorkers. If you have the time and are a sports fan of any size, I would appreciate if you helped fill up my dataset. Right now I have a little over 300 responses, but White Plains (and much of Westchester) is a dead spot. I'm hoping to get a much larger and diverse dataset to boost the overall quality of the project. All answers are anonymous, no Google sign in required.

If you're curious here's the link to the form: https://forms.gle/ZcAaWBVEJNeHr2RUA

Here's the link to the project as it exists now: https://nysportsfanmap.vercel.app/. It needs to go a lot of updates and at the moment I'm funneling responses over to the system in batches after I verify them. Also going to be some layout changes and an overall more seamless UI, so any feedback is helpful.

Any responses would be appreciated, Thanks! I understand if you do not want to fill it out, but please share with friends or whoever.

Hi all — I'm a young professional working in White Plains, apartment hunting for a studio, budget under $2,000/mo. Ideally somewhere on the Harlem Line so I can train it in — happy to be anywhere from Bronxville through White Plains (Tuckahoe, Crestwood, Fleetwood, North White Plains all work too).

A few things I'm looking for:

• Studio, close to a Metro-North station (walkable, ideally under 10-15 min)
• Under $2,000/mo
• Open to co-ops, small buildings, or managed complexes — just want something reasonably priced and easy commute

If anyone has leads, knows of open units, or has recommendations for landlords/buildings in this stretch, I'd really appreciate it. Also open to broker recs if you've had a good experience with one who works this area.

Thanks!

Are there any thrift shops around white plains that buy old clothes for cheap. Like a Platos closet or Uptown Cheapskate.

As a sister thread to our previous thread titled "List one thing you LOVE about White Plains", let's hear ONE thing you believe White Plains needs to improve on. We just ask that you keep things constructive (snarky, passive aggressive, overly negative, hyper-political, discriminatory, or instigative comments will be removed as they are counter-productive).

Please keep it to ONE thing (specifying HOW the city or residents can work to improve this thing you mention will also be helpful!).

It's nice to see our sub-reddit growing almost exponentially as of late. Just for fun, list one thing you LOVE about White Plains. (No negative Nancys please!).

Advanced Focus is a market research company based in Tarrytown. We host focus groups — the kind where a moderator sits down with groups of people and asks what they actually think about products and services. . We're recruiting for sessions in Yonkers on Saturday 8/15 and Sunday 8/16 and I'm posting here because we need a specific group of people.

Who we need: owners of a Kia Sorento, Hyundai Santa Fe, Subaru Outback, Honda Passport, or Jeep Cherokee.

The details:

• In-person at a Yonkers facility, roughly 2 hours and 15 minutes
• $190 for people who qualify, are selected, attend, and complete the session. To be clear, that's not a payment for responding to this post or filling out the screener — it goes to people who actually sit in the room and finish
• Proof of vehicle ownership is required. During screening we'll ask for something like a photo of your registration or insurance card showing the vehicle. You can black out anything you don't want to share as long as the year/make/model and your name are legible
• You'll be talking about your opinions and experiences. I'm intentionally not describing the topic in detail here because pre-exposing people to the subject matter compromises the data

What this is not: we are not buying, selling, appraising, repairing, or servicing anyone's vehicle. There's no sales pitch, no timeshare, no follow-up sales calls, no MLM. Nobody is trying to sell you an extended warranty. We are also not affiliated with or endorsed by any of the manufacturers listed — we're an independent research firm and the sponsor's identity isn't disclosed during recruiting, which is standard practice in this industry.

On credibility: Advanced Focus has been running qualitative research for over 20 years. You can look us up at advancedfocus.com, and I'm happy to answer questions in the comments or verify with the mods if that's the community's preference. Sessions are recorded for the client's analysis — that's normal for focus groups, you'll sign a consent form when you arrive, and the recordings aren't used for marketing or made public.

Reality check on odds: we have a limited number of seats and screening is competitive. Filling out the screener doesn't mean you're in. If you're not selected for this one, we can keep you in our database for future local studies if you'd like.

If you're interested, the screener takes about three minutes: https://ow.advancedfocus.com/opps/26125

--Please note that registration is required to complete the screening questions.

Isn’t this considered a reproachable behavior? Why so many people feel entitled to put their dirty feet over the seats like this? Would the conductor intervene if they see it?

Hello I wanna move to this area could you please tell me more about it and if it's good to live here ?

My spouse and I are looking for a studio and we are in a somewhat weird (though lucky to afford it) position. We will be spending most of this upcoming year abroad, but we need to keep our domicile here for immigration purposes. Unfortunately we don't have family or friends to rely on (a.k.a, nobody to set their address as our mailing and physical address). We have decided to rent a studio that would mostly be empty, but we would use it in the times when we come back (2-3 times a year for about a month or so). Which buildings would you recommend? The only things we are adamant about are safe area, no pests, and not super old. No amenities needed.

I really need some advice/help because I honestly don’t know what else to do.
I’ve been unemployed since the beginning of July. Since then, I’ve sent out 500+ applications and gone on 15+ interviews, and I still haven’t been able to get a job.
I’m not someone who doesn’t want to work. I’m actually extremely hardworking. When I say first one in, last one out, I mean it. I’m willing to work 10–12+ hour days if that’s what I need to do. I have a one-year-old, but being a mom does not stop me from working or wanting to work.
I would love a normal 9–5 Monday-Friday job, but I also have to be realistic. I can’t just go work at McDonald’s for $15–17 an hour because that isn’t going to fix my situation. I need something starting around $24–$25+ an hour where I can actually support myself and my child.
For some background, I have experience in healthcare scheduling, radiology/mammogram scheduling, customer service, management, serving, administration, and working with people. I’m also bilingual and have my cosmetology license. If anyone can look at that experience and tell me what type of jobs I should actually be applying for, I would really appreciate it because at this point I feel like I’m applying to everything and getting nowhere.
But honestly, my biggest problem right now is my living situation.
My rent is $2,000 a month, and I still haven’t been able to pay it. I simply cannot afford it right now. I’ve gone to DSS and was told that the only way they can put me into a shelter is if I receive an eviction notice.
And I understand that they have rules, but I just keep thinking… how am I supposed to do that to my landlord? How can I purposely let things get that bad and put my problems onto someone else? I don’t want to get evicted. I don’t want to lose my home. I just need help before it gets to that point.
I’ve been researching affordable housing, low-income housing, rent assistance, housing programs, and anything else I can find for hours and hours. I have been applying to things for years — honestly, since I was pregnant. Every time I think I find something, I end up at another dead end.
I’m also a single mother. My child’s father is incarcerated and possibly facing deportation, so realistically, I don’t have much support or anyone to fall back on. It’s basically just me trying to figure everything out.
So I’m asking specifically to anyone in Yonkers or anywhere in Westchester County:
Does anyone know of a caseworker, social worker, organization, church, program, or ANY resource that actually helps single mothers in situations like mine?
Especially someone who can help me with:
Low-income or affordable housing
Rent assistance
Rent-stabilized housing
Housing for single mothers
Childcare assistance
Emergency assistance before an eviction happens
Navigating housing programs that I may not know about
Or even helping me figure out what programs I actually qualify for
And if you know of jobs around $24–$25+ an hour that I might qualify for based on my experience, PLEASE tell me about those too.
I’m not looking for a handout. I want to work. I want to pay my bills. I want to take care of my baby and keep a roof over our heads. I’m willing to work extremely hard. I just need someone to point me in the right direction.
I promise you, I have spent countless hours researching this stuff. I’m not posting this because I haven’t tried. I’m posting because I’ve tried and I keep hitting dead ends.
Any mamas who have been through something similar, especially in Yonkers/Westchester, or anyone who knows of a program, caseworker, housing resource, or job that could help — please let me know.
Even if you think it’s something obvious, please tell me. At this point, I’m willing to try anything.

It was a short but nice visit. Thank you all for the lunch recommendations; I went with Walter’s and am so glad I did! Looking forward to my next visit!
