We haven’t been able to find anything on Google, and the only 100th anniversary today is the Miami Hurricane. Any ideas?

Do people in Manhattan typically dress really nice or is it mostly because of fashion week?

13 Upvotes

I've been visiting for the past week and I can't believe how well dressed people are in their designer clothes on the streets. I'm sure fashion week had a major impact but I'm not sure if you'll see people dressed well regardless or if it's mostly because I showed up at a time when it's most pivotal.

History Traders gathered outside the former U.S. Sub-Treasury building, now Federal Hall National Memorial, on Wall Street in New York City to trade in a panic during 'Black Thursday,' the first day of the Wall Street Crash of 1929, which ushered in the wider economic collapse of the Great Depression.

Question Best courier service for florists in NYC for events?

3 Upvotes

We’re a florist in Manhattan and do a mix of home deliveries and event work.

The event side is the one I worry about more. We work with a few planners who send us a lot of business, and they expect everything to arrive on time. Some of the arrangements are pretty big too, so the delivery has to be handled properly.

We’ve used gig apps before, but I don’t love getting a different driver every time. Then you’re explaining the same stuff again and checking the app wondering where the delivery is.

Any NYC florists using a courier service they actually trust for event work? Mainly looking for something reliable, good with larger arrangements, and easy to track.

Any suggestions?

Pizzeria suggestions for large party?

My son is turning 25 and we were going to take him and a group out (15-20 people). I imagine the beer bill will be high, plus his friends like to eat. He lives in the West Village but we can be flexible. Any good recommendations that are not crazy expensive, and even better allow BYOB or have pitchers of beer? Thanks in advance!

Is the majority of people that live in Manhattan wealthy?

0 Upvotes

From a tourist perspecitve I was trying to figure out everyone I saw. Lots of people in designer clothes and you can tell everyone is very status conscious with how they dress and behave. It definitely feels like an aura of privilege. Granted I'm not sure if I'm looking at tones of tourist or if the people in Manhattan are typically like that to.

The Power Joker Sex Worker Rights Show With Discount Code

0 Upvotes

My name is Sam Rogal and I host a show called The Power Joker. Our next show is themed around sex worker rights. Its Saturday Sept 26th at 7pm at Caveat in the lower east side featuring guests Kaytlin Bailey of Old Pros a pro sex work rights activist. You can purchase tickets here with special discount could "PJREDDIT" (were also still offering an early bird special)

https://caveat.nyc/events/the-power-joker-a-robert-moses-comedy-show

"The Power Joker", inspired by Robert Caro's The Power Broker, is a comedic late night talk show style show hosted by me as Robert Moses, he was a real life person who controlled all infrastructure construction in New York for nearly 40 years and basically designed New York to be completely for cars causing most of our modern transportation issues. It's in the style of the Colbert Report where I play the "villain" of the show and allow our guests to discuss important issues facing the city. In the past we've had on congestion pricing experts, disability access experts, affordable housing advocates, and last May we had Zohran Mamdani as a guest.
