This Insta Account Showcases New York Without Sugarcoating Anything And Here’re 40 Of Their Best Pics
I'm willing to bet that most of us who have never been to New York City have still heard songs about it, like 'Empire State of Mind,' or seen movies, such as 'Taxi Driver.' But how can we know if these representations are accurate? Well, there's a way to find out even if we can't tour the place in person.
The social media project WhatIsNewYork reveals how it looks through the eyes of its residents by sharing user-submitted pictures and videos taken in the Big Apple.
One quick glimpse at its content and you'll see a shirtless guy strolling on a snowy street, a pack of dogs posing for a picture with bunny ears, and many more vivid 'postcards' that capture the diverse and unfiltered essence of NYC.

WhatIsNewYork is actually a spinoff of another cool online project. "I created SubwayCreatures back in 2012 to document all of the funny, crazy things I was seeing. When that got big, I decided to expand the content outside of the subway into the streets of NYC," Rick McGuire, the man behind these Instagram accounts, told Bored Panda.
Now, McGuire receives close to 200 submissions per day, "but a lot of them are not worthy of being posted."
"I don't exploit the homeless or those who appear to be mentally ill and I try to spotlight people who are doing something intentional or funny to bring attention to themselves," he explained.

I once lived in an apartment building that had another one across an alley. One night I had my windows open and a couple in the next building were having VERY loud sex. The woman kept screaming "I'm co**ng, I'm co**ng". After about 30 minutes I couldn't stand it anymore so I leaned out of my window and yelled "So c**e already and shut up!" She finally did.

"Our city is home to a mosaic of cultures," she said. "As a lifelong New Yorker and native of Queens, where we speak more languages than anywhere in the world, I consider anyone who calls our city home a New Yorker."
"Whether lifelong residents, immigrants, transplants, or recent asylum seekers, the shared joys and struggles we uniquely experience as New Yorkers unite us. Our historic women-majority and most-diverse City Council reflects this diversity to help everyone find success," Adams explained.

For an apartment building in NYC there might be 20+ packages every day, so easiest for the deliveryman is to drop everything in the lobby (ideally out of view). I know exactly one “pickup point” — at Rite Aid on 6th Ave at 13th St — but it’s the buyer’s decision where their package is delivered.

That Apartment Cost What??
Anne Reid 4 years ago
Historical context: in that area, almost every apartment had one. They were installed when indoor plumbing became a thing, and put next to the sink because there’s was no space for a new bathroom. Each floor would share toilets, which were in closets in the hallway. I went to many a party in places with these (the toilets are now inside the apartments). Fill the tub up with ice & liquor bottles and you’re good to go!

Yeah, you wont find drug dealers on Broadway, not since the early 90's, not even late night. For dealers you need to go closer to the Tompkins area, but not exactly there. Broadway up and down in well lit, affluent, and well policed

As an Apartment 1 resident, I can tell you: it's because EVERYONE rings Apartment 1, regardless of which apartment they actually want. Some assume it's where the Super lives; some are USPS, Fedex, HelloFresh, you name it. It gets VERY old very quickly. I had to put a sign out front as well, just to make it happen less often (I still get pinged regularly though, despite the sign).
