“I’m truly amazed by the professionalism, expertise, and genuine care shown by the volunteer team at Veterans Rebuilding Life—far more than I ever anticipated. They took the time to understand my situation and supported me through every stage of the process. The VA system can be daunting, but their guidance made everything far more manageable. I wholeheartedly encourage any veteran who needs assistance to contact them. Thank you again, Veterans Rebuilding Life!”
“We have worked with the team at PBP since 2018 and have seen our events grow and reach new families and partners each year and we are looking forward to continued future successes!”
“A small intimate venue that has great sound proofing. I had the privilege of seeing Marcus Gilmore and others during Jazz Fest and it was one of my favorite venues. You can choose the floor or upstairs for an arial view. It’s a tight squeeze so make sure to arrive early for a good seat! Highly recommend!”

“I stumbled upon this cute place while exploring the city. I had never heard of a zine before but was in awe when I walked in. It’s easy to forget about time and get lost in all the zines and books. The staff is really kind and passionate about the arts. Savannah really took her time to show me what Zines are all about. I was really inspired by her. I can’t wait to come back in the fall when I’m in the city.”
“Clear and insightful predictions. Dr Kumar candidly differentiate between Prarabdha/Destiny which cannot be changed and Karma which is result of our actions. He guides to influence our karma in order to have better life. Unique approach!”
“We couldn't be more grateful to peace4paws for first saving our puppy (and the rest of his litter) from being euthanized and for also allowing us to make him a part of our home. The care and attention they give to all the animals in their care is exceptional. Our hearts are filled with such love as our family is now complete.”
“North Bergen Purr is absolutely amazing—I’m so grateful our paths crossed. The staff and community are incredibly kind, welcoming, and supportive. My family and I are currently fostering two sweet kitties, and it’s been such a beautiful and rewarding experience.
Everyone at North Bergen Purr truly cares about the well-being of the cats and the people involved. You can feel the love and dedication in everything they do. I really hope we can continue fostering and being part of this wonderful community. Thank you for all the work you do!”

“A lovely, calm, and interesting museum that my kids and I both loved visiting. They loved the water play area and the Boogie Story Time! My toddler enjoyed the area for young kids and I really appreciated Melody being so welcoming and patient while showing her some ideas of how to play.
We took the subway to yankee stadium and were a little confused but, yes, you need to follow the sidewalk over the bridge and highway overpasses and ramps and down to the museum. It gave us adults pause at first but it was perfectly safe walking on the sidewalk and for the kids it was all part of the exciting adventure :)”
“This store is amazing! Always a great selection, super low prices, and the staff is incredibly sweet. Made a few purchases a few days ago and they let me know the profits that day were going to breast cancer awareness. Love their mission!”
“The mission at PAWS to help elderly/disabled individuals keep their pets by providing fostering, vet transport, dog walking and litter maintenance. Most of these people have had their animals for quite a number of years, so you're not going to get kittens and puppies if that's what you're after. This organization is an amazing testimony to how having an animal as a companion can sustain someone even in the midst of a diagnosis. Orientation is done via Zoom, so you don't have to leave your home and volunteering here can be very fulfilling.”

“Amazing hub for out of town runners like me who want to run in Central Park. Lockers, water fountain, changing rooms, and bathroom all kept clean by hardworking cleaning staff. The employees I’ve interacted with are all helpful and friendly. Be aware there are no showers, but I always bring disposable XL “shower” wipes.”
“The wilderness job readiness class with Keith and Mike was a success! Both of them are great instructors. I got a job less than a month after coming home from a 5 year bid. We went to a job fair and I was recruited by Guns Down Life Up to be a youth mentor. So give thanks to Keith, Mike and the whole Exodus community!”
“First time I walked into Bottomless closet I received very good resume assistance, I also had 2 outfits for my jobs interview coming up, two months later I got a job and they gave me 3 more outfits of my preference. The staff are the best, they take their time with each client. Really recommended.”
“MFTA has been like the heart and soul of the arts and cultures in NYC. This company and staff are great! Thanks the donors that keep donating year after year.❤️??”
“Thank you Estonian House and Eurocircle for hosting the Eurovision watch party! I’ve been a fan of the competition for ages, but Ive never had so much fun watching it (it’s actually not as much fun right at the Eurovision arena). Everyone was so nice and welcoming, I truly felt at home! Thank you!”

“My son love this place. I wish I would it know about this place before. There are divers classes from wish the kids are able to pick the one they are passioned. They enjoy the time here because learning is by experience. The staf and the professionals are very supportive and friendly!”
“The Clemente isn't just a space; it's a cultural landmark that's been fueling the arts scene in the LES (Loisaida) for over three decades, standing tall as a pillar of Puerto Rican and Latinx pride.
The Clemente is a microcosm where the city's energy is channeled into a celebration of diversity, with every performance and workshop echoing different communities and experimentation. This place is serious about giving a voice to BIPOC artists, offering them not just a stage, but a supportive springboard. The programming is brilliant. From thought-provoking film screenings to electrifying live gigs, as New York as it gets. It's a stone's throw away from the F train Delancey stop. the building itself is an architectural jewel. an open labyrinth. They seem to have some of those amazing spaces available for rent.”
“Currently interning in Dream Center NYC and my experience has been nothing but positive and amazing. I felt blessed to have found an organization that cares so deeply for the community and providing many needs.This is an organization that meets the community face to face, creates relationships, and provide food boxes or supplies for whoever is in need. If you are interested in volunteering or interning or just needing some assistances or supplies please feel free to connect with us.”
“This is the best VFW in the state if you’re looking for a space to rent !! Had my wedding reception here and from step 1 Jesse was nothing but helpful and excited as if I were his own daughter. He made sure the space was able to transform into my dream venue and gave us free rein over what we wanted the place to look like. The building is all freshly renovated and is honestly one of the prettiest VFWs I’ve ever seen. When the day of the wedding came everything went wrong on my end and the day was chaotic. I called to let Jesse know and he immediately had the Worlds best bartender Mike call me and assure that the night would run smoothly. Once we got there the party was on, Mike went above & beyond and my family was raving about him afterwords. VFW Lodi made my wedding day one of the best days of my life. I would recommend them 1000 times over!!!”
“Rented the ice for hockey. The staff was great and the rink was so much fun. I got to talking to management and the programs they have for kids is just incredible. Anyone who plays hockey should support what they do to get kids involved in the game at low to to no cost. They rock.”
“It's a gem in Queens this store. Quality items to purchase but at affordable prices. I found two modern living room chairs for under $200 in excellent condition.
If you are redoing your home decor or just setting up a new place stop by this store to get some incredible finds. Also, check their website for online shopping.
Staff was friendly and helpful too.”
“THIS PLACE IS A VERY HELPFUL PLACE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE SEEKING HOUSING,PUBLIC ASSISTANCE AND ALSO HUNGRY THEY FEED YOU AND GIVE OUT PANTRY TOO THE COMMUNITY ITS AN AWESOME PLACE❤️ ?”
“We got displaced due to a fire. We were scared, confused and tired. We really appreciate the good people that took or information when we got displaced due to a fire. The gentleman even asked me the name of my cats while we were waiting for the firefighters to put out the fire. I was so worried about if they would be able to stop the fire before it made it to our apartment. They were even able to find us a hotel that was pet friendly. They followed up with us when we needed an extension from the city at the hotel. Thank you to Christan for all of her kindness and patience. People were angry and just as stressed as we were. Christian explained things to us and we understood what The Red Cross does. She called to follow up with us. We appreciate her so, so, so much and are thankful for sitting with her that day. We appreciate The Red Cross for being so caring and empathy.”
“I love this little house. As children, we would come on school trips. It looked so big, but now, as an adult, everything looks so small. I adore the history and the fact that it's still standing in the middle of Inwood. It's a must-see if you're in the area. Trust me, when you're in the backyard, you're going to feel like you're not even in the city.”
“Even though of the times that I've been at this place I didn't get enough from the "food pantry" just cuz I went kinda late and for not making making an advanced reception......... the little that I got is very delicious and healthy.”
“Steve was great on preparing my taxes and very nolagable and respectful let me know every step of the way on how it works thanks Steve id recommend urban upbound to anyone who is in need of a respectful tax team.. 5 Star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐...”
“All things must have a beginning. Except circles. But, the High Line is a line, so it begins here. Except, it also ends here. I started from the other end, so would this be the beginning or end. As I then walked back the way I came, this became neither. It was simply a midpoint. I don't think that this is the midpoint of the High Line though... that would be silly having a middle at an end.”
“Good vibes for the most part. Helpful staff (mostly) yet always very busy. Expect long wait times for Food Pantry on Thursdays and long lines for Fresh Market Produce on Wenesdays. Thankful for this organization and all the hard work they do in our community ?”
“Give chances is an excellent establishment in which students collaborate, learn, and overall just have a great time. Not only is it the perfect opportunity for kids to socialize, but it also allows for an excellent learning experience.”
