If this picture was taken today all this space would be filled with outside seating and bike lanes. How sad

Copy and pasting from another comment but is your bf in the union?
I also work in construction (non-union pipefitter) and sometimes we work alongside union crews. It's a long running joke that those mfs have it easy compared to us. The same job we do in a day they'll take a week. Their crews are also a lot larger than ours.
The thing is, that's more how it should be. Non-union construction in the city pays shit and treats us like shit. There is a tinge of jealousy and bitterness coming from us non-union tradesmen but the guy you're responding to is not wrong when he's saying they could be more efficient. Not saying they should be worked to the bone like us either. There's a balance.

The infrastructure is terrible too. I've forgotten the last time they haven't been doing construction on it

I still call it Tappan Zee and probably always will, but it's always Jackie Robinson for me cause that's what I grew up saying. I'm guessing folks who call it the Interboro are older

Reply to comment by thepobv in Grocery Chain H Mart to Open Upper East Side Outpost by LouisSeize
My Korean mother-in-law only goes to H-Mart if there's sales. She complains that it's too expensive otherwise. She usually goes to those smaller independent Asian groceries like you mentioned. She did go to the new one that opened in Astoria often when they had their grand opening sales though.
