I literally keep my apartment at 75 during the winter my bill was $150 for the month of December. It’s likely your meter is picking up the hallway or elevator usage

I think only the one on 440 still does tool rentals.

Hey-oh - fellow Morgan resident here! We literally just had the same thing happen to us. This was the second winter in a row so we were pretty sure something must have been screwy with our insulation, having done the whole meter song and dance last year to no avail. We had the maintenance guys take a look this year. As it turns out, those floor to ceiling windows? Really difficult to close so you're almost guaranteed a draft. (The two maintenance guys who looked like strong dudes even had trouble closing them - it was a team effort.) I'd have maintenance roll through to see if that's an issue for you too and that might make a difference.

Komegashi too any day

I think he’s fine in his current role.

We know what the last reform oriented politician that held that seat. He can’t become an Icarus

You should be able to tell if it’s an estimate or not. Look at your bill

C'mon just let them enjoy

We’ve all seen old men lining up outside old man bars at an early hour in bright sunshine. No way to lead a life.

I really like Okinawa in Hoboken! They deliver in JC.

I love La Concha and Irma’s Cafe. Neither is a sit down place but they’re both delicious.

Where do these cleanings take place?

I can ask an 9 year old what temperature is freezing and they know 0C/32F.

You can't possibly be as stupid as your trolling and pretending to be.

Buy with Amazon prime and return within 30 days. Free use of tools.

Wisp food truck. It’s amazing.

That grass is purely decorative only

For those not in the know:

Some european power companies put campaigns out on social media to mislead customers about low temperatures and pipes freezing, or mold problems or safety (long enough time and any temperature < 70 can cause frost bite).

Their profit is a % based on power usage. If people cut back due to high costs, their profit tanks. These companies are hurting this winter as people cut back on usage due to energy costs.

Of course it's grossly misleading, and anyone who finished 4th grade knows it doesn't make sense, but some people like OP fall for social media bullshit.

Water doesn't freeze until 32F, and humidity not temperature causes mold problems. And given cold air holds less moisture, it's actually very unlikely to get mold from keeping your home cool unless you've got condensation building up, which is somewhat hard to accomplish. In the summer however, if you don't have the AC on OR windows open for proper ventilation to correctly keep air moving you will get a mold problem, especially around here.

They shamelessly prey on the elderly with this crap to make sure they get their money.

Of course you can put on a sweater and use a blanket. You won't suffocate overnight (seriously, some elderly people now believe this because infants aren't supposed to have blankets).

Nah it's cool. I wasn't offended, I was just being sarcastic because we get a lot of people asking similar questions. This city has definitely seen a decrease in crime (though that would come with being priced out of the area). This city used to be kinda like that 20ish years ago but it's not like that now. The only part of my post that you should have taken seriously is the queen's and eastward thing because you'll save a lot of time commuting for basically the same rent prices you would see here if not less

Seriously thanks for the input. His comment about high school chemistry pissed me off.

Awe no, sorry I hope my post didn’t come off offensive. I was just saying like dangerous in terms of my kiddo playing outside and stray bullets catches them. I grew up around some rough areas and this did in fact happen twice in my life. So I just want to make sure my wife and child are safe just hanging outside on a nice day.

But Yeah, I think queens seems to be the best area in terms of commute and even price! Definitely gonna look there! Thank you, and again sorry if my post came off insensitive to the area.

It’s possible that PSEG haven’t been able to access the meter for several months, and so they have been charging you based on an estimate. Then when they finally gained access to the meter they realized they were under-charging you, so now they are charging you the difference. That happened to me and the bill was also around $500.

I absolutely disagree. Simple. Do you drive that block? There are people everywhere. Driving down a residential block with multiple schools a light rail and bus stops with ALOT of people walking around is being a terrible driver. And approaching an intersection this is driving in a city 101. There is no excuse for it. Defend her all you f*ing like but it's being a TERRIBLE driver and yes a DISREGARD for humans. AGAIN drive that block and there are humans all over the place. It's not a quiet block in the least bit. It's called being aware of your surroundings.... being a neighbor and living in a city.

Rumor is she was smoking a crack pipe with male prostitutes in the car.

Tres chilitos (mexican) used to be good a couple of years ago, but quality has gone downhill since the owner's untimely passing.

There's a few newer Peruvian spots that are quite good, but they haven't been around long enough or have enough quality to warrant a recommendation.

Kikiriki (peruvian) has great rotisserie Peruvian style chicken. But it's pretty much takeout only.

There's also a newish Peruvian spot at the corner of jfk blvd and Lincoln (the site of the old Vinnies pizzeria if you remember it). I've tried a couple of things there and thought it was decent, but its also more of a takeout spot.

Noches de colombia is ok, but not the great value it used to be some years ago.

Rumbas is probably the best of the sit down, no frills, good food, good value.

The best lunch value is probably La Concha (near Charles and Central ave). Delicious and huge portions.
