So let me get this right. Several businesses on grove street were damaged, a Nextdoor post was posted but now it’s been removed, and nothing else posted anywhere? Yet if ChicPea gets a haircut there are 100 posts about it. Why isn’t this reported anywhere? Seems very odd

That’s what I’m hoping!

I’m going to freeze! I’m already cold at 72 but if I want to keep my bill down I’ll just have to wear additional layers unfortunately.

If someone leaves me a snarky comment and insults my intelligence I’m going to respond to them with the same type of energy. But thanks for your opinion!

Oh, wow, thanks! I’ll look into these! I really appreciate it!

Wow, she’s a trooper! Yeah, I think overall consensus is between the commute & just outside cost it doesn’t make much sense moving to LIC.

Nah I think this sub is just predominantly populated by non adventurous whites people lol. The vast majority of restaurants in the Heights are Hispanic. Noches de Colombia is a good start for sit down food. Torta Truck is good for fast/casual. Just go up and down Central, every other storefront is a restaurant.

I would love to, but unfortunately, I really don’t have the ability to buy anything in LIC. Which is what I was hoping to do but probably not gonna happen anytime soon.

😂 yea, talking to a cop really solves a problem

Damn you could’ve made a difference for everyone. Thankfully you posted the pic of reddit.

Few observations:

1. Your temp is on fairly high. With that said, heat to what you are personally comfortable at, but just know that its pretty high. I feel like most eco temps would be around 64-66 during day and then 66 at night that creeps up to 68 during waking hours and then dips back down to 64-66 during day for energy saving.
2. Youre losing heat through weak points. I’m not so sure if its an insulation issue, and depending on where your unit is situated within the building, I doubt its a wall/ceiling leakage issue, rather, you have large windows and you’re likely experiencing heat escape. Still, if it was bad, you’d probably be seeing condensation on your windows and since you didnt mention that, it’s hard to determine if thats the issue or not. You may want to consider insulated curtains (they help with both sound and climate)
3. You may want to ask for a reading. PSEG gets it wrong occasionally, and if you truly feel this isnt matching usage, call them. My brother in Law in NYC had freakishly high bills and knowing his heating habits, it was clearly wrong. He called, they came out and it was sorted out. His situation was different though, he had his heaters off majority of the time and the usage wasnt making sense. It was easy to isolate.
4. Reach out to a contractor friend or potentially someone in building management for a thermal gun to find weak points if thats something you can get your hands on.

And the final and most important one: 5. Listen to the advice people are giving you without your snarky condescending attitude. People are trying to help you and your outrageous and childish remarks and uncalled for. You probably are using more energy consumption than you’re aware of. You also may be losing heat through windows which is a very easy fix. Instead of name-calling in your replies (i.e. calling someone a ‘miserable f&&k’ or being sarcastic about water freezing), maybe dig deeper and figure out your estimated/actual energy usage compared to similar tenants. PSEG provides all this….just call them. Also, finding out the wattage of your unit is easy (even if installed by building), ask for brand/model and look it up.

Or dont…its your energy bill after all. What do I know, I only reduced mine (even with energy rate hikes) by over $250/mo by monitoring heating habits and getting thermal insulated curtains.

what did you order from the menu

Yeah I called and complained and they are having me check the meter. I thought 72 was reasonable..before I made this post. Some people are making it seem like I have it on 80 with the windows open lmao

I think Komegashi Too has fresher fish for about the same price.

that is a very high bill… it’s possible that you were previously underpaying and they finally read your meter or something. I’d ask PSEG for more details. 72 is a totally reasonable temp btw

No but the Heights is not definitively Hispanic. Quite frankly I'd love more diversity in restaurants but the Hispanic restaurants here are nothing great. Good but I wouldn't recommend someone travel up to the Heights with exception to Rumba Cafe and Dulce de Leche. If you want nothing but Hispanic, Bergenline is the best place to go. Nothing but Cuban, Colombian, Peruvian, etc.

Hispanic spots in the Heights:

Rumba Cafe

La Bodega

Tres Chillitos

Angel Azul Cafe

Pio Pio

Dulce De Leche

Noches De Colombia

Mision Burrito

Torta Truck

Pico Taco

El Gordo

Galeria Cafe

La Concha

Domo domo. Not even close

He should run for Mayor

Hello, I'll DM you - I just dog sat this past weekend, got 1 more gig in 2 weeks and another one the weekend after - but as long as it doesn't clash, happy to take care of your pups!

I have been disappointed with my last 2 orders from there. This last weekend the salmon was very fatty and the yellowtail just tasted off.

25mph is the speed for school zones, it’s a perfectly reasonable speed to be traveling at IMO. I think it’s a little ridiculous to say that someone traveling at 25mph has a “complete disregard for humans”

Those are high temps. Maybe consider some heavy curtains for your windows

Wait what happened?!

Rumba’s Cafe is amazing and cheap as hell. The little taco truck by Lee’s liquors has my favorite tacos. Sabor a Peru is good with terrific lunch specials. Irmas cafe does good Birria tacos. El Rey del Ser and Tres Chillitos are also solid options.

Where they really hit is the cafes. Dulce de Leche, Unica Cafe, angel azul all do a great job.

Adding for your original list…Saigon Bistro and OZU Foods for non-Latin food

He’s running.
