Attack ads against Alex Bores make me want to vote for him.

Has anyone been receiving an absolutely ridiculous amount of attack ads against Alex Bores in their mailbox? Also I've been getting a ton of mailers from Micah Lasher's team, so I assume he's the one taking out the attack ads.

It's just ridiculous at this point and I'm tired of throwing away one of these mailers every day.

Good, empathetic, reasonable, non judgmental dog vets in the neighborhood please?

Wife and I have been seeing the same vet for decades and she’s a good vet but she’s a bit out of the way in East Harlem with limited hours and she’s become more pricey. We could deal with all of that if necessary but it’s that she’s become judgmental and that’s just an unnecessary added stress. We also have a new adopted cat which we plan to bring to that feline vet on 1st and 80 st. So if anyone has any input on that place it would be greatly appreciated. But right now we have a fat dachshund that could lose about 5# and that’s my fault. Thank you all in advance!

Receiving suspicious packages in the mail?

A few weeks ago my wife and I received a package in the mail from some sort of LLC in San Diego. We hadn’t ordered anything, and didn’t recognize the company it came from. Upon opening, we discovered what looked like mushrooms (dried, blue, packaged in a zip top)… didn’t know what to do so we took it to the police precinct, where they confirmed it to be narcotics. They bagged it as evidence, got the postal police involved, we received a report, etc. Went to check the mail today, and got ANOTHER suspicious-looking package, this time mailed from Oklahoma City. This time it was a vape cartridge in retail packaging. Is this happening to anyone else? WTF?

Cobbler, tailor recs?

Hi! I just moved to the area (closer to Central Park vs York) and was shocked to find tailoring my pants was going to cost me $100, and fixing a small scuff on my heels would cost $170!! These establishments were on Lex in the 70s. Any suggestions on where to go?

How long will the Carl Schurz Park bathroom have to look like this before it is fixed?

Can we all just collectively fill out 311 forms or email the parks people? It’s been a long time like this.

Looking for a great mushroom risotto on the UES (wife’s request!)

Hi neighbors!
My wife is craving a really good mushroom risotto, and I’ve been tasked with finding the best option on the Upper East Side.

If you’ve had a standout risotto anywhere on the UES, I’d love to hear your recommendations. Cozy atmosphere or good wine is a plus, but flavor is the priority.

Thanks in advance — hoping to deliver a win at home.

32BJ contract terms

This is primary a great benefit for employees retiring. For those of us that aren’t this doesn’t help at all with the massive increase in rent, groceries, gas etc. Over the next 2 weeks we will have to review this contract and vote on it.

Ranking #2 in poo …

Better together NYC did a data collection on dog poop in some neighborhoods. UES of course ranked #2. Wish people would start picking up more.

The main UES markets: Agata, Fairway, Whole Foods...

I saw a posting here the other day about Agata and Valentina which makes me ask about the main food markets. (I'm only discussing the 80s but feel free to add in other UES stores further down).

I'd say when that 86th St building renovated B&N and Circuit City and Fairway moved in, at first it came across as "elite" as Agata but then ownership changed and it's just not the same. Whole Foods has more health food products, but the lines... Basically you go to each store for different things. ie. one is better for buying meat, another is better for fruits and vegetables etc. Any comments?

UES Grocers? Tired of Westside, disappointed by Wholefoods

Hey everyone, I am looking for a new grocer. I live near the 92ndY, but the Westside market and wholefoods nearby have been offering very poor quality produce over the last few months. What other grocers do you use? Any local butchers?
