Noted



Ideas for your dorm room via Kmart on Astor Place.

No idea what product is in the tube...and if that is supposed to be part of the display...



And in case you were wondering, NYU's Fall Welcome Week begins on Aug. 28.

  4. "NYU's Fall Welcome Week" - otherwise known as "HELL WEEK". An orgy of parents overspending to make sure their little snowflake has more made-in-China shit in his/her dorm room than anyone needs.

    Later, the snowflakes will lecture the older generation about climate change and the need to recycle/conserve! And in May 2017, those snowflakes will ditch into the trash most of the shit they had in their dorm rooms.

    I wonder how the parents are so blind that they fail to notice that the entire nabe is pretty much wall-to-wall bars. Or maybe they're *sure* that THEIR perfect little snowflake would NEVER get drunk. It's only other people's snowflakes who get drunk, right?

  5. "HELL WEEK".

    This has already begun in "Sty' Town. The worst weekend in Sty Town, the EV, and the LES is the weekend of September 9 which is the first weekend following the start of the 2016 fall term*.

    The Bro/Woo-Hoo herds (minimum number 8) will be in full migration mode, screaming, pissing, and throwing up as they wait for their Uber SUV’s to take them to their parental funded play vacation destination of choice and then back to their basecamp.

  6. Here we go again! This posting, and reactions to it, will no doubt be the beginning of a barrage of anti-student comments. The soon to be move-in dates of NYU, New School, Cooper Union, and Mary Mount Manhattan students will no doubt elicit torrents of snide attacks. Just listing the four schools gives me pause--pause to think about the problems they bring to the neighborhood, but also the economic vitality they bring with them. Age is not a marker for maturity or stupidity. Look at Ryan Lochte, 30 something, a millionaire, and yet the stupidity level of a you supply the age. Give the incoming students a break--attack them when they trash the neighborhood with their drinking exploits, but don't attack them for being young, for being students, for them not being the people you think you are and they should be. And can we please not have the usual rants about how privileged they are to have parents paying their bills. Stop generalizing--not everyone who comes to study in New York is a trust fund baby.

  7. I hear that tube is the latest invention from the liquor industry, "Alco-gel" - rather than waste the time and money it takes to get drunk the conventional way, you simply unscrew the cap, put the nipple in your mouth, squeeze, and get a full mouthful of gooey, boozy goodness that will get you lit in no time.

  8. It's a tube of Bro Rub® (a dorm essential for bro jobs) which should not be confused with Piss Assist™.

  9. 9:10am is all bent out of shape over people rightfully going off on a bunch of oblivious spoiled brats who trash the neighborhood at every turn.

    Economic vitality LOL yeah sure ok in your dreams. They don't buy shit.

    'Know what I want them to be? Real people, not overgrown highschoolers in the 13th through 16th grade. How 'bout a Lady Gaga i.e. a quirky, unique, creative, artistic, out there gal or a Rick Rubin i.e. an innovative pioneer? These are just two people who went to NYU and made an impact on the city. Time NYU students bring something to the table besides go to class and be an ass.
