Seeking Recommendation: Other In home pet euthanasia

26 Upvotes

Have a dire situation where my beloved pet has taken a quick turn for the worse suddenly and the humane decision is to let her go today. My lovely vet isn’t available this afternoon, so we are looking for in home options this evening. Can anyone recommend some places I can call that you had a good personal experience with?

I called Eternity Home Vet but they’re mostly LI based and not available this evening. Also tried mobile vet Glorya Abramov but no answer.

Thanks

Update:
Thanks guys for everything. Paws at Peace just let me know they’re not available today :(

Question Can someone please explain the logic behind the morning N/W skipping past the local stations??

27 Upvotes

It seems to happen quite a bit in the mornings for Manhattan bound. What could possibly be gained trom the 30 seconds it takes to stop at the (clearly crowded) station?? The most irritating way to start a morning commute

Other I pulled what every New York City hospital actually charges for common medical procedures, the price gaps are wild.

98 Upvotes

Insurers are legally required to publish their negotiated rates with hospitals (Transparency in Coverage Act), but they bury it in massive, nearly impossible to access files. So I scraped millions of these pricing data points across New York.

Interesting findings from colonoscopy pricing data in Astoria:

  • A colonoscopy ranges from $2,250 to $6,794, a 3x difference for the same procedure.
  • The Endoscopy Center of Queens in Astoria is listed at $2,250, while Mount Sinai Queens is listed at $6,794.

I’ve only done this for common procedures so far (MRI, colonoscopy, PCP visits, ultrasound, X-ray, etc.) on the map. If you want extensive procedure pricing data, you can use the chat on the page.

Lost/Found: Animals Reddita update - Tuesday

Hi Astoria,

Some of you very generously offered to help out in a foster capacity. We thought we had someone who just backed out. Reddita needs a place to go - ideally tomorrow night. She will be seeing the vet at 5pm and then will be ready.

I have created my own foster app - I am not a rescue - just a person trying to help the cats in our community. If you were considering fostering Reddita please please please fill out the attached form.

Thank you!

• Upvotes

i’m for part time work but haven’t been having great luck with finding anything and would love if someone could point me in the right direction! i have three years of serving (and bartending) experience in nyc as well as remote sales/call center/receptionist experience.

i’m just desperate to find something asap to keep me busy during the evenings and on the weekends bc my 9-5 isn’t covering all of my bases.

i’m open to whatever is available, thanks in advance!

Seeking Recommendation: Other Nail salon that pushes rather than cuts cuticles by default?

• Upvotes

Most nail salons I’ve tried around here either will just cut my cuticles rather than pushing them back, or, if I ask them to push them back, they end up pushing them up in a way that still leaves them damaged. Can anyone recommend me a spot that defaults to pushing the cuticles back? I’m not looking for anything fancy in terms of the manicure itself. The cuticle treatment is 100% my priority here.

Thanks!

Question GAME OVER signs at Tru

Did anyone happen to read what is written on the multiple signs newly plastered on the old Tru restaurant on Ditmars? I was in the bus so I couldn't stop, but I saw one read "GAME OVER" in all caps. There's gotta be a story there.

Seeking Recommendation: Food Custom cake

Post image
98 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for recommendations for someone local who makes custom birthday cakes in Astoria or nearby.

I’m hoping to get a cute Miffy-themed cake similar to the reference photo, but for about 15 people.

I received a quote for $300, which is a bit more than I was hoping to spend. I’d love to find a local home baker or small bakery that could make something similar at a more reasonable price.
The party is on December 5th or 6th.

Would appreciate any recommendations! Thank you!

Seeking Recommendation: Other Local electrician for small job?

An outlet went bad at my business. I was just going to replace it but I apparently have an open neutral somewhere upstream and that's beyond my capabilities. This is one of these old prewar buildings.

Any recommendations for someone that won't charge an arm and a leg to come fix this?
