I don't live there anymore, but in Crown Heights, there were streets that had street cleaning on alternate sides on 2-3 days a week.
2 days a week is pretty standard, and I wouldn't even call 3 'nearly every day of the week', considering there are 7 days in a week.

If you were parked on a Monday side, there'd only been 1 Monday in effect since late August (Labor, RH, Sukkot, Shemeni Atzeres, and Columbus day it was suspended).
This is the exception rather than the rule.

Most streets in CH have 4x per week - 2 per side.

I think he meant 2-3 times per side, so 4-6 days a week.

If someone has a car that they just move from side to side and never use then they should GET RID OF THE CAR! As @12HRS said the issue is parking when going in and out. The best $175 I use a month is on a parking spot next door to me
After a few years of having 2/3 cars and never having enough spaces on the alternate side, we built a hard to get to parking spot in the back of the house which we use once a week. Saves so much trouble.   Sometimes if a car needed a mechanic we would wait till alternate side day to give it in.
I'm not who you think I am.

Anyone did Queens yet in this thread?
Not Far Rockaway, because some reason they never include themselves.

Queens is hard because every community needs a separate list as every neighborhood differs immensely.

Wrong thread, but if the food isn't marketed as a snack, how can they market as mezonos?

First of all, all the sesame sticks are mezonos. Iirc korns has reg mezonos rolls. Aisle 9 has plenty of mezonos ready made sandwiches, not sure about  buying them plain.

It’s mezonos food. If you eat alot you gotta bentch. Just like any pas habba bikisnin,  if you were to eat alot you would have to bentch.

Except its NOT pas habah bikisnin.
Who holds that a roll can be pas habah bikisnin, it is the most stereotypical example of bread/Pas.
