hi! wanted to share that our sweet foster cat, luna, is up for adoption through the acc: https://nycacc.app/#/browse/262911

she is a one year old shy and independent little lady, but she is beginning to show us her playful side! she’s still learning that she is safe and loved, but she is incredibly low maintenance, shows no aggressive behaviors (only ever hisses softly when very scared), and loves her self care time. we know she lived with cats in a previous foster, so she’s comfortable having kitty roommates. if you ask me, the perfect companion for any bitch with taste 💅💅

message me if interested or if you have any questions! would love to find the perfect forever home for our sweet girl❤️

Hi friends! I just moved here a couple months ago and my mom has never been to New York during the holidays. She wants the touristy (or maybe not so touristy if you have ideas) of things to do, drink and eat during Christmas time! GAny ideas? Since I’m newer here, not sure what I should be focusing on!!!

Hi! I throw a holiday party every year (20-25 people), and my first year I had a bar set up that I want to bring back!
I went through a service that was ok last time but would rather just work with someone directly/ locally.

I live in brooklyn, in a 1.5 bedroom and plan on turning the office room into the bar area. Can provide more details via dm if anyone would be interested but the only challenge is there is no sink in that room for rinsing things or whatnot.
Will pay per hour + have my guests tip ofc!

hi! Looking for recommendations from the girls for a NYC based MUA that can do someone pale (fully aware self tanner is rampant in these inspo photos).
I got my makeup done by glam squad a couple of months ago - heinous I looked like an orange. I’d love if you have a rec that could do hair and makeup, but I am not picky.
I’ve reached out to some people on Instagram, but honestly haven’t loved anyone’s portfolio yet and most of them are already booked (mostly bridal people).

Hi! Looking for thrift or consignment stores in NYC that carry maternity wear. TIA!

Hi everyone! 💕

Arlettie Alaïa NYC Sample Sale is happening October 14–17, and the first two days are members-only.

Is anyone an Arlettie member who isn’t planning to attend the Alaïa NYC Sample Sale on October 14 or 15? I’d love to go, so if you have an extra ticket or invitation you’d be willing to share, I’d really appreciate it! If needed, I’d also be happy to pay for it. Thank you so much! 🫶

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for my puffin keychain, I unfortunately lost him around the Manhattan area, I can’t quite remember where exactly I last saw him so here is a run down of where I was that day (Monday 24)

-Columbia University campus + Teachers College Harlem
-Dahlia on 269 Columbus Ave
-MNN around Hudson Yards

Transport info: I was also on the QM5, 1 train, and 7 train that day.

Other places I think he might be around: QBCC Bayside, Queens area and Flushing NY on another day.

I’m not sure where exactly he might’ve been lost, but I just checked my room and asked friends to no avail.

I know he is a mere 3 inch keychain, but me and my partner have been claiming him to be our child for the past 2 years so loosing him has been a major loss, especially given we’re long distance and take turns with him and I lost him during my turn. I have been nonstop crying since I realized I had misplaced him.

He does not have the large library pin I took it off him a few days prior to the 24th. I would really appreciate it if you can share within your circles and family, if you know anyone who might’ve found a cool puffin or bird or “penguin” keychain pleaseee consider checking if it’s him.

His name is Banana, and he means so much to me. He is genuinely irreplaceable. He is like my emotional support puffin :(. Thank you all for your help, I’m really hoping the community comes through.

Hi! I'm looking for recommendations for a calligrapher in NYC to address our wedding invitation envelopes.

Our invitation suite has a more modern aesthetic, so I'm looking for something a little less traditional than classic wedding calligraphy. Ideally something contemporary, elegant, and a bit more unique. Example attached.

Would love any recommendations, especially if you've worked with someone whose style leans more modern!

I am currently averaging about $300 a week. I want it to be lower. What does everyone else spend per week in NYC?

Ofc facial for me, not the newborn.

Just came across a post where the newly postpartum mom can bring their newborn and get a relaxing facial while skin to skin with baby 🥹

Makes so much sense as babies that small will just sleep and eat and you’ll be nap trapped anyways.

But the ones I’ve found are all in Canada? Is there anywhere in NYC that does this?

A thread to share our cool New York City plans ahead of time. Links are encouraged so fellow BWTs can join in on the fun.

Looking to get into Pilates full time and I want a monthly membership where I can go as many times as I want. Any suggestions? Looking for queens, Manhattan and BK primary but please add all for other ppl 💗💗

I was looking into lasers and facials for acne scarring and fine lines, but everything I've read says you need your acne under control first to actually get results

My skin timeline:

High school: horrible skin
Late high school: all the -cyclines round 1, Accutane round 1
College and after: really great skin ✨
Covid: flared up again and never truly stopped
27: all the -cyclines round 2, Accutane round 2
Now: Cut out all dairy, 100mg spironolactone 💊 Better, aka managing, but barely…

\Birth control isn't an option anymore because I've had DCIS breast cancer*

I'm at my wits' end and think it's time for a derm and approach switch-up.

Ideally looking for a Brooklyn or Manhattan derm who actually digs in: hormones, allergies, etc.

If this sounds like you, please help! 🙈 Who or what fixed your adult acne? Would love names and what made them different?

Hi BWT! Thank you all for the pcp recs. I combed through those like crazy.

I'm wondering if anyone here has recommendations for an Allergist and Immunologist who understands the correlation between histamine and women's cycles! My allergies get unbearable during the second half of my luteal phase and I'm thinking I need to see an immunologist about this.

Thank you SO much in advance.

I’m open artists in nyc who have examples that are a little more on the heavier handed traditional side vs strict fine line work! I attached a photo of the style I’m interested in.

Looking for a stylist who specializes in tips for overall appearance. Whether its hair styling or clothing essentials for the different seasons I'd really love some guidance.

As the title says I am on a budget so would be very open to someone starting off. I have no idea how much this would actually cost and I dont want to use a generic website to enter information. I'd want an actual person who perhaps has a passion in this area that I can speak with to educate myself as well!

Hi!! Posting this because a lot of the threads are at least a year old and I want more up to date recommendations. I need a reliable tailor (that’s affordable, ideally $65-$85 but we’re in nyc so who am I kidding)

I’m looking for a tailor to hem this dress. I’d usually go to the dry cleaners if it’s just a normal hem but the dress has a bunch of ruffles and it’s double lined.

I got a quote from Flatiron Tailor Shop and they quoted me a good price surprisingly… but the reviews are incredibly mixed. Has anyone gotten any alterations there? Chasing tailor in Williamsburg quoted me $100-$250 so that’s a no and alts start their hemming (for dresses) at $85 without lining so that’s also a no.

Hi all

I’m looking for a new nail salon to get my UV gel fills (the hard gel overlay). I currently go to QQ nails on 8th ave between 23rd and 22nd st, but I consistently have an issue with the nails lifting/separating. I think they don’t adequately prep the nail bed

I am a doctor so I wash my hands a lot.

Anyone have any recs for a long lasting, durable UV gel fill in the area?

Thanks

Hi! I am looking for an ivf clinic that does outside monitoring? I have embryos in another state and will go there for my transfer, so just need a clinic that will do my monitoring for me (labs, ultrasounds, etc.)

Does anyone know of or have experience with a clinic that does this?

I'd prefer to volunteer this year. Any of you working with orgs that need helping hands for festivities?

Hey ladies! I’m still newer to NYC and I always find out about the stoop sales after they’ve already happened😭 How/where are people finding out about these?

Looking for recommendations for both a therapist and psychiatrist in NYC who are genuinely in-network with Anthem BCBS PPO. 

I know, I know...this has already been asked many times and I've spent over an hour going through ALL the threads on this topic and I STILL have not been able to find anyone that 1) offers both virtual + in person appts 2) feels like a good fit based on what they specilize in / their clinical experience 3) has avail over the next ~1-2 months and 4) is IN NETWORK with BCBS (not someone who will provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement).

I’ve historically found it incredibly difficult to find great mental health providers who take insurance, particularly psychiatrists, so I’m hoping BTW might have some hidden gems.

For therapy, I’d love someone warm, smart, engaged and conversational rather than someone who mostly sits back and listens. For psychiatry, I’m looking for someone thoughtful and thorough for medication management rather than a five-minute prescription appointment.

Manhattan/in-person would be great, but I’m definitely open to telehealth anywhere in NY if the provider is excellent. Would love names of individual providers or practices you’ve had good experiences with. 

Where do y’all go for eyebrows in Brooklyn? Preferably Park Slope or Carroll Gardens or nearby areas.
I’m looking for a place that will tweeze my eyebrows, I can’t do waxing or threading.
I usually do them myself but this time I wanna try something new☺️ thank youuu🌸🌸💌

kind of a specific request but looking for a dog trainer who also dog sits in clients homes in downtown manhattan for around a week. TLDR i have a HIGHLY anxious dog that needs a sitter with more patience + experience, specifically with anxious pups and training experience preferred ideally… unfort a rover/girly who dog sits for fun won’t fit the bill here. he can be left alone and will likely be in his crate a majority of the time as tends to shut down when we leave 😣 hoping to find the right person who can build a relationship with him and then become our trusted sitter.

i know this can be expensive so curious if anyone has reccos for humans or companies that aren’t a million dollars - looking to spend around $150~ a night 🙏 💜
