Is NYC a city of opportunity for just the white collars? What about blue collar workers and the lower-class?
What opportunities does one have without a college education?

Thank you all in advance.
|||The unions pay well for the trades, but in some of them you need to know someone to get in, but not all. There's a lot of construction going on in New York right now so there should be jobs in construction.

There are lots of service jobs usually like bartending and working in restaurants because there are so many. The public transportation agencies all usually have jobs that don't require a college degree.

If you are determined and willing to work you will find something. Good luck to you.|||there are opportunities in nyc that you wouldn't find in other smaller cities...people who who want to become actors, models, wall street tycoons, etc. move to nyc...common people can become millionaires there...i have a couple personal friends who work for martha stweart show and another friend who workds for the letterman show...but for the most part, people just struggle with common jobs and never get the big break they were hoping for...

I'm currently a full-time Mech Engineering student at the University at Buffalo and am considering transferring to either LA or NYC. Can anyone tell me what are some of the good (not necessarily the absolute best, but very good still) engineering schools in NYC or LA? I've looked at UCLA and Columbia. I'm looking for a school with good resources and technology, well funded. I have a 4.0, so Academically am not concerned about difficulty, but some places like NYU costs like $50,000 which seems crazy. Any ideas?|||Information will be found below.

I was wondering how to get to Newport Centre Mall from nyc. I live around Avenue P in Brooklyn.|||I think it would fastest to take N transfer to 2 or 3 at Atlantic Ave. take 2 or 3 to Park Place and take PATH from World trade Center to Pavonia/Newport (one stop, make sure you get on Hoboken train) Taking Path from 33rd St, you are going much further North in Manhattan than required.|||My friend, take the Manhattan-bound (northbound) "F" train to 34th Street.

Once there transfer to the PATH train, either the 33rd Street - Journal Square train to Pavonia-Newport.

Once at Pavonia-Newport, exit the PATH Rail station and follow the directional sign to the mall.

I hope this information is very helpful.

Good luck and happy shopping
Native New Yorker|||Take the B D or N/R to 34th St; switch to the PATH train; take it to Pavonia/Newport in NJ|||All I know is you got to come out of the Holland tunnel..once your out make a left..You'll past one light and make another left onto mall ramp...

I will be a single makeup artist living in nyc and I want to get a dog. What would be a good choice?|||I live in NYC as well! I would recommend a smaller dog, only because their easier to care for in the city - they don't need the space to run and you can take them everywhere! But it depends on you, really! I have a Maltese, but Yorkies, Westies, any kind of Terrier would be a great addition to you household. It really boils down to what's important to you. When I got my dog, I lived in Maine. But I knew that I wanted a dog small enough that I could take him on a plane with me, in a car, on vacation... etc. And now that we live in NYC, it's great. I can put him in my bag and go on any public transportation. I take him to every store, restaurant, bar that I go to. He's very social.

But if you are willing to hire a dog walker or walk your dog numerous times a day for long periods, then get a bigger dog. They just need a lot of exercise and the city can be hard for that. There are some really good sites for determining what kind of dog a family needs. Google it and do the research on different dog breeds - you'll find a good companion.|||I have many of my Cavaliers who do wonderfully in the City. See if you can find a breeder who litter box trains their puppies....it's been a wonderful bonus for City pups!|||Small Dogs.

Any small dog would fit! There is a problem with big dogs there because there exercise and playfulness is to high that an apartment can't handle it.

Good Luck! :)|||i have a poddle, she don't even bark,she is small a fun to be with, and poddles don't shed, but you do have to get them groomed|||Maybe it'd be best to get a small dog for your apartment

and probably one that dosn't need that much exercise

My girlfriend is originally from RI and she used to go used to travel up to new bedford and have blade meat sandwiches. It was a portuguese restaurant and we later came to find the sandwiches was cacoila.

Does anyone know where i can find cacoila in the five boroughs of nyc or north jersey? I could find a recipe online but its not the same.|||Ok from what I can understand those are a pulled pork type sandwich. . . Coming from the Oporto area of Portugal, which is where the issue is apparently most of the Portuguese places around here are based on mainland cuisine. . so those are a hard find. The biggest Portuguese population is in Newark so you may need to travel out there to find what you are looking for.

I would defenitely do your best to call ahead and just ask the chef if he makes it!

GOOD LUCK!!!!

BTW: I know you say that making it at home isn't the same, but honestly if you hit up Newark's Ironbound markets and get the right type of meats and research all your ingredients and slow cook your meat to get that right pulled slow roasted texture, I have a feeling you may even shock yourself. I often find homemade to be waaayyy better. (Just a thought!)

    I want to buy a cute kitten, not very expensive. I've never thought it would be so complicated to actually get a cat in NYC...I've been looking online at some NY pet adopton sites, but they only give adult cats away, and most of them look kind of sick...So where do you think I should get the kitty cat?|||this time of year its harder to find kittens - probably the adoption places have kittens but dont put them on the web because kittens go so fast and its the adults who need homes more despirately.. if you see them in person you can determine if they are sickly... usually most SPCA's have health guarantess so probably its just bad photoes....

    DO NOT EVER BUY A PET FROM PET STORE.. they dont care about you or the pets just the cash.... and they over charge too!!!!

    seriously get from the local shelter or SPCA these are non-profits so you get more quality than what you pay for|||The SPCA.|||SPCA, or you could contact you local vet and get their recommendation.|||your favorite chinese restaurant|||WHy do you want to buy one? There are literally millions of kittens in the country who need homes, that you can get for free. Try your local Humane Society.|||Go to the nearest ASPCA or any animal shelter and you can get them for free. Or you can just let people know you want one and you will have one is a short time. If you want a breed go on line a look for the nearest rescue shelter for that breed and they will only charge you a small amount.
