It's about 20 years old. I am pretty sure everyone in my development (~200 units) were going through the same. I may look into a second portable space heater for my living room

I live in a condo with electric heating (forced air). On the days it dropped to 10 at night, the hvac heating couldn't get above 65 or so, even with the auxiliary heating kicking in.

I have a small electric space heater in bedroom and that kept me warm for a couple of days

Global entry FTW

Burger king

Fidelity - you can do it online with them. Make sure you're fully aware of the income limits etc.

Jc penney

In JC, probably zeppelin hall. In Hoboken probably Pilsener Haus beer garden (Mulligans will be way too packed)

Good

Reminds me of an old 4chan post that predicted video games would become increasingly commercialized (microtransactions, etc)

Stores will typically list their black Friday sales early, so if you log on starting Monday or Tuesday before Thanksgiving, you will start to see most of the deals on their websites.

Bitches be crazy

Don't fucking talk to anyone you don't know in public.

Selling girl scout cookies? Nope

Raising money for aspca? Nope

Asking for money? Definitely not

Grew up there and still visit family there multiple times per week:

• yes it's mostly residential. The commercial area (mostly Central Ave, although lately Palisade Ave has some new bars and eateries) has most of what you'd need without needing to own a car (supermarket, fruit stores, restaurants, fast food)

• about owning a car: unless your new place has parking, don't bring a car. It's annoying to find parking after 6pm. And if you park too close to the corners you'll get a ticket

• the morning bus / jitney along JFK Blvd to nyc is slow but dependable. Most days I'd budget about 40 mins into port authority (if you get on near the southern part of the Heights, less if you live farther north). There's other buses on Central Avenue but they're not reliable at all - in the past buses would not show up or would come 2 at a time, or were otherwise too full and wouldn't stop.

• living withing walking distance of the path is preferable, but you probably wouldn't save much time vs jitney (20 min walk to station, couple minutes to get downstairs, 15 min ride etc).

• crime isn't much of an issue. But as in any city it will exist. Just be careful and don't walk around buried in your cell phone late at night. Honestly the worst crime is getting your car's catalytic converter stolen (all the more reason to not bring your car).

• nightlife is limited. The restaurants and bars in the Heights are no frills, but aside from a handful (Renatos, Corto, maybe lo fi), the rest are more of "to go" eateries. Hoboken is a 10 min Uber ride away from the Heights and will be a much better option for Fri night/ date night, but for regular eating the food in the Heights is top notch (in terms of variety and taste)

This is extremely prevalent around here especially with crvs. Not much you can do except report it to the police (they won't do anything), get it replaced with an aftermarket part, and (important) ask the mechanic to install a cage or similar deterrent so that it doesn't get stolen again.

Why

Weekends and late night either time it or Uber home. Consider it the cost of not living in NY
