Restaurants & Food / Pizza Boy
« on: May 11, 2021, 02:47:30 PM »
I admit I don't eat pizza too often even though I love it. I went to Pizza Boy yesterday for the first time in a couple of months and it was so much better than usual. I didn't recognize the guy who was making the pizza, so I guess they have a new pizza chef. The crust actually had some flavor instead of tasting like a matzoh cracker, the sauce was good and it was just all-around really good. I ordered two regular slices; I don't think I've ever had a baby pizza.

Has anyone else noticed this or did I just get lucky?

Neighborhood Chat / Re: Anyone live in any of these coop and know how good the sound proofing is?
« on: March 16, 2021, 08:23:25 AM »
Washington Plaza has great soundproofing for the apartments next door, but not vertically. My upstairs neighbor didn't have padding under his thin area rugs and it was maddening - my ceiling light fixture made jangling sounds every time he walked through his dining area and it sounded like an airplane hangar every time he vacuumed. I am pretty noise-tolerant but it became unbearable after a while. It's not as bad now that he was made to get carpet pads but I can still hear him slamming cabinets and stomping around. The people next door have parties that I barely hear but I can hear the dude upstairs sneeze. Weirdly, I rarely hear his tv or music.

Honestly, it's my biggest annoyance living here (along with the poor ventilation - if your neighbor smokes you will smell it like it's in your own apartment).

However, if you purchase a unit you can probably pay a little more to have extra padding added when they replace the flooring.

Neighborhood Chat / Re: Advice for dealing with loud, partying neighbors?

I'm late to this thread, but you can call the non-emergency number for the police instead of 311. The vast majority of calls to 311 are for noise complaints and it doesn't seem to be an effective method, unfortunately.

I do think that reaching out to their management company is a good start. Especially if they are made aware you will start calling the police every time it happens going forward.

Thanks for posting that link - I think I've actually seen a few other videos from this dude before!

Neighborhood Chat / Eddie van Halen's death has triggered something
« on: October 10, 2020, 06:10:11 PM »
The untimely death of Eddie Van Halen must have really done a job on one of my neighbors. He has been playing the electric guitar really loudly since the day he died and it goes on for hours. I assume amplifiers have volume control but I guess his only goes to 11.

Anyway, dude, if you are reading this, please take pity on your neighbors and give it a rest or at least shut your windows. You are not talented enough for the daily concert you subject us to.

RIP Eddie

Neighborhood Chat / Re: Century 21 closing all of its stores

A different coworker just said that he thinks the main one downtown is closing - he is no longer working from home and our window faces one of their exits - he said that there are big signs up that they are liquidating their stock and sees people leaving with piles and piles of stuff they bought.

I am so upset by this! I used to live a block away from their world trade center location and still work right next door. I went there for everything.

Neighborhood Chat / Re: Burglary Attempt
« on: September 08, 2020, 09:38:08 AM »
I lived in DC during the crack years and have been mugged twice and burglarized. I ended up slashing the burglar's fingers pretty bad with a knife as he was attempting to gain entry and didn't get in a bit of trouble except that my university charged me to clean the small amount of blood off the carpet (off-campus student housing, I was in college at the time).

Beech Court, I'm glad you are ok and thank you for the warning! I just went to make sure my fire escape window is locked.

I don't know of any besides K&L. But what is a chopped cheese sandwich? I've never heard of it and am curious.

Thanks for posting this. I saw it yesterday and was depressed to see that most of these people are unemployed. I hope the guy who was on his way to a job interview gets the job offer! I have to take the subway today for the first time in months and am dreading it. Stupid dental emergency.

I can't believe our lawmakers' advice was to go talk to our neighbors and shame them into stopping. Yeah, like I'm going to take a risk like that. I'm glad that people are pushing back.

I don't hear them as much now that I have my a/c running more, but the ones last night seemed pretty close (low 70s). I feel bad for the dogs and babies.
