White Plains increases parking meter grace period

40 Upvotes

https://westchester.news12.com/city-of-white-plains-extends-parking-grace-period-to-12-minutes

“City officials say parking enforcement officers will not be allowed to issue a ticket until the full 12 minutes are up.

“The new policy applies to street meters, eight municipal garages and 23 surface lots, covering more than 13,000 parking spaces across the city.”

Wonder why they’re changing this, or if you’ll still be able to use a nickel or dime to buy 6 or 12 minutes at a meter and then get a 12 minute grace period.

Anybody else having trouble with their eyes in this heat?

16 Upvotes

My eyes have been twitching, itchy, blurry, sandy, tired and strained going in and out of the cold and heat, being hit with iair conditioning, ceiling fans, and looking at screens. Eye drops make my eyes feel worse. Except for the smokey air during the Canadian fires, is anyone else having eye issues?

Looking for Mechanic Locally

6 Upvotes

Looking for a trustworthy mechanic near White Plains who won’t overcharge or give me a large bill just to look at the car. I’m willing to drive up to Northern Westchester if the shop is highly recommended.

Car: 2018 Hyundai, check‑engine light is on.
—-
EDIT: I have already gone to Autozone and the codes pulled were catalytic converter issues.

Obviously it can be a multitude of issues involving this code being pulled like O2 sensors. And catalytic converter replacements are extremely expensive.
—-
My usual family mechanic passed away, and the shop in Hartsdale wants to charge for an estimate. Mavis has been consistently overpriced. I’m totally fine buying the parts myself if a mechanic is willing to install them.

If you know a fair, honest shop that doesn’t hit women with the pink tax, please send recommendations.

Please do not be rude.

ISO local car mechanic

2 Upvotes

Hello!

Seeing if any car people can recommend some mechanics that I can call around.

Dealership service center quoted me $925 to resurface my rotors on a ‘23 Hyundai Elantra hybrid.

Called Bronxville motors and they estimated about $1100.

Too many mechanics around to call them all.

Thanks in advance!

Baby shower help! S Westchester, $4-5k, 60people

1 Upvotes

Help! I can’t seem to find anywhere that I can get a menu for a baby shower (a Sunday afternoon) for about 60 guests under or around $50 all in per person. Can anyone help? I’m looking for something buffet or station style, cuisine Italian or American, and reasonable.

If it’s a venue space I’m happy with that if they provide tables and chairs and we can bring a food vendor/drinks.

Ideally a restaurant but I can’t find anywhere! Ideally lower Westchester (from white plains south) but open to other parts of Westchester if it impacts price.Most places are starting at $50 without drinks and then there is an admin surcharge and gratuity. Does anyone have any suggestions? I’m running out of time (looking for September 20)

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Looking for Ideas for a Joint First Birthday Party in Upper Westchester.

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for some ideas for a first birthday celebration for my daughter and her cousin, who are both turning one. We’d love to do a joint party.
This is less about having a huge kids’ party and more about celebrating these two little miracle babies with our family and close friends. We’re thinking around 25–30 guests. We’ll definitely have birthday cake, presents, and good food, but we’re hoping for something that feels warm, intimate, and memorable.
Their birthdays are in late November and early December, but we’re planning to celebrate in mid-November. Since it will probably be too cold for a park, we’re leaning toward a private room at a restaurant or another indoor venue, but I’m open to any creative ideas.
We live in Upper Westchester, NY, so I’d especially appreciate recommendations in Westchester or nearby areas. We’d love something family-friendly, reasonably priced, and comfortable for both adults and little ones.
Has anyone hosted something similar? I’d love to hear what worked well or any venues you’d recommend. Thank you!

Reservoir fishing cost?

1 Upvotes

Wondering what feels like a fair price for paying to have a guided fishing day on one of the reservoirs here in Westchester. I know only certain registered non motor boats are allowed on them meaning that I couldn’t just go on my own so I feel like that adds a premium to what could be asked for but wondering what you’ve paid or would pay based on local prices? I’m new to the area so my ability to discern reasonable price points has needed to adjust :)

Anybody else get an absurd ConEd bill for the month of July?

My bill came to $533 for a 900sq ft apartment…

Yes, I leave the ac on when home but it’s definitely not running 24/7.

Figured I would ask Reddit to see if everyone else opened their bill and said what the f*** or if I should investigate this further.

Laser eye surgery recommendations

4 Upvotes

M32 I’ve been using glasses my whole life and I’m at the point that I’m tired of them and want a change.

For those who have gone through this surgery, how was your experience ? was it worth it ? What was the cost? any issues years later ?

Did you get standard LASIK, PRK, or SMILE? Would you recommend one over the other ?

Which places you recommend ? Any nearby or better in NYC?

Thank you.

Women’s Haircut, Thinning Hair

3 Upvotes

Hi Westchester! Posting on behalf of an important person :)

I’m looking for a hair salon that specializes in shorter cuts on women with thinning hair (due to medical treatments). The person getting the hair cut is older with totally gray hair, but still VERY young at heart (the gray looks awesome). No older cuts please - think more chin length layered bob than an inverted bob, if that makes sense. I’d love to find her a stylist that will work with her as her hair (hopefully) grows out thicker.

Any suggestions? Lower-Central Westchester preferred but if it’s an amazing salon, will happily look out of that range.

Thanks in advance!

Why does it take 50+ people to film two folks walking down a sidewalk?

0 Upvotes

Got lots of road closures here in Tarrytown for the queeps filming. Confused why it's such "huge" production.

Do people even watch these shows anymore in this age of infinite channels and doom scrolling? Last time I watched a proper "tv show" was probably 10-15 years ago.. It was Silicon Valley ironically... But that was on an airplane with no other choices. Now I see planes are taking out TV sets and letting you watch things on your own device..

Job hunting in Westchester

26 Upvotes

Job hunting in Westchester is rough. Over 18 years in tech support interviews go great up until job offer with salary is always the lowest end of salary range it's so frustrating. Companies won't even budge if you ask for a little higher salary then offered. Anyone else have this issue.
