Sooyoung·1mo agoStuy testAnyone know a tutoring center for the stuyesant test?
My daughter goes to a test prep program at NYCGPrep. She’s learning a lot which is great as she’s going to be in 8th grade and taking the test soon. But the school she goes to is in Chelsea near FIT. Can anyone recommend a closer place? maybe in UES or even in Queens?

Soojung Kim·1mo agohotelstayoutdoorAnyone know what happened to Graduate? (the hotel in RI)
Hi, I remember there was a hotel with a nice rooftop near the Tram / Cornell Tech. I think it was called "Graduate" if my memory serves me right. I was searching for a hotel but it doesn't show up on Google Map. Do you know what's going on? Are they permanently closed?

Sophie Park·1mo agooutdoorAnyone noticed this?
Someone made this sign on the street. I run at least 2 times a week in the island so I'm sure this is recently made. I wonder who made this and how this system works! I know the full loop of the island is over 6K but I couldn't. find where the starting point of this is, which will be helpful for me

Saito·1mo agoAnyone living in the Octagon? I'm curious about the Octagon life
Hi, When I was moving to the island, I was debating between 430 Main and the Octagon (the condo located in the northern part of the island). It was more spacious but not too expensive in comparison with the condos near the subway station. How's life there? Is it too tiring to take the red bus after coming back from manhattan?

Seri·1mo agoHello from a Roosevelt Island neighbor! 👋
Hi! I’ve been loving browse through this community website. My husband and I live on Roosevelt Island, and we absolutely love the peaceful vibe here. My parents are actually visiting us soon, so I'm trying to gather some local tips to show them around our beautiful island. Just wanted to say a quick hello to all the amazing moms and neighbors here! Hope you all have a wonderful week. ❤️

Soojung Kim·1mo agoI'm new to the RI and shocked by the F/M train
Has this train always been like today? Some part of the escalator (or maybe just elevator) was under construction from this morning but I was able to go to manhattan. But when I wanted to come back to the island, they didn't run the train! It's been a year since I moved to the island. Is this normal?

Leslie Baik·1mo agoGrocery ShoppingAnyone else obsessed with ordering from Weee!?
I finally tried Weee to see if I could cut down on my grocery bills, and honestly, I’m so impressed. Living on the island, grocery runs can be such a chore, but this has been a total lifesaver. The prices are way better than local options, and the delivery is punctual—they always show up right within the window they promise or they will notify in advance otherwise. I was a little nervous about ordering veggies online, but everything has arrived perfectly fresh and crisp so far. For those of you who use it regularly, what are your absolute holy grail items? I’m building my next cart and would love any recommendations!

Sophie Park·1mo agoideaproposalI love this website but I want to propose an idea for this forum
I can read and write English but I'm not a native English speaker. I'd like this place to be more like relaxing place where I can comfortably read what other moms' saying in my 1st language. I saw the language button at the top-right corner of the website. Could you also put the same button on this Lounge chat and my editing/writing page? I want to write things with my language and when I finish writing, I want to simply translate it to English without visiting Google Translate or Gemini. Just an idea.

Ashley Jin·1mo agoHow dressed up do we actually get for daycare/school drop-offs? 😅
Hey moms! I was just thinking about this during my morning rush and wanted to throw it out here in the Lounge Chat. When I’m dropping the kids off or running a quick daycare errand in the morning, my go-to outfit is literally my coziest sweatpants and a baseball cap pulled way down. (Seriously, I’m just repeating the mantra 'Please let no one see me...' the entire time 😂). But then I see some of you gorgeous moms out there who look so put together—like full-on makeup and effortless outfits at 8 AM! It always makes me think, 'Maybe I should start trying a little harder,' but then reality hits, every second counts in the morning, and I just look the other way. 🙈
