NYC Problems

True pain from the eyes of a New Yorker

[Nicole Bamber @nicolebamber]

Being in NYC during a pandemic has been eye opening on so many levels. Everything is closed and it’s hard to find good pizza (not a real prob). Today, I witnessed a group of pigeons hoarding FULL🍕slices and eating them behind the LOCKED iron park gate. Wildly impressed. 🤯🤓

Remember what we used to call this? This is #traffic on the LIE eastbound in Queens. We left Manhattan around 4p and got stuck in 30mins of crawling in this. Now it’s almost 6pm. It’s moving now but haven’t seen this many cars in weeks. #Covid_19 #COVID #coronavirus #NYCLockdown

Rarely do I have food in my apt therefore, very rarely do I ever see bugs in my apt. So when the largest roach I’ve seen outside of Nat Geo mag just casually strolled across my kitchen floor. I panicked & decided it’s easier to just call my real estate agent. #nycproblems #nyc

You know when something drips on your head in the subway? And you don’t know what it is or where it came from? #subways #NYC #NYCProblems

[Spectrum News NY1 @NY1]

The MTA has a lot of New Yorkers talking after floating the idea that riders may have to make reservations to ride subways and buses when the city begins to reopen. @lindsaytuchman has more.

NY on PAUSE is extended to May 28 for regions that don't begin reopening today.

But as soon as a region hits its benchmark, it comes online immediately — it does not have to wait until May 28.

A new low: Pulling a prank on essential workers in the middle of a global pandemic. And making essential workers clean up your mess. Despicable.

And just like that, it is SNOWING in #NYC in MAY. #snowinmay @CBSNewYork #COVID

[NWS New York NY @NWSNewYorkNY]

❄❄❄Snow in Central Park! In May! The Central Park Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) recorded snow. This ties the record latest snow set on this day in 1977.

I miss when I could judge strangers’ outfits every day on my commute

Since New York City added a "social distancing" category to 311, there have been 14,000 complaints about alleged scofflaws in stores, parks, and on the street:

Remember this? Social distancing: @cmhettich is greeted by an empty New York subway on his commute home from Times Square

Times Square right now looks like that Will Smith movie “I am Legend”...
