Nothing quite says dorm like a mass mailing to Stuyvesant Town tenants seeking healthy males "currently attending a four year university, or already holding a bachelors degree" for donations to a sperm bank. Mass mailings like these, inserted into mail boxes by the post office with no address on them, are costly, so this Manhattan sperm bank must be sure that its mailing will reach a sizable, potentially receptive readership.
This is a undoubtedly a sign of the apocalypse.
ReplyDeleteWhy is the USPS delivering mail with no addresses? Sounds shady. Since when can they insert mail into our mailboxes that does not go through the usual mail route?
ReplyDeleteThey don't waste printing costs and media advertising dollars. They sent this to Stuyvesant Town to reach thousands of students, not 100 that Dan and Blackstone try to claim. Thousands of students.
ReplyDeleteYelp reviews are more than interesting of late. We need to get the word out more, better, faster to all future tenants even if they are students. hit em where it hurts guys as the landlord does to us.
ReplyDeleteStR what is the update if any on associated or is our tyrant like Brookthugs done there?
ReplyDeleteOval Sperm Bank: the next amenity?
ReplyDeleteSpring Break? More like "Pay your overpriced market rate rent"!
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for the Woo Girls. Bro boys ain't gonna have nothing left for them.
>>StR what is the update if any on associated or is our tyrant like Brookthugs done there?<<
ReplyDeleteNo update. I'm waiting until Blackstone officially takes over, which I guess will be the beginning of the year.

ReplyDeleteUSPS can do that. I don't know what it precisely falls under, but a company can pay bulk mail and get their mailing delivered to all addresses in a particular zone.
From Town & Village:
ReplyDeleteReached on Monday morning, the CEO of Manhattan Cryobank, Ty Kaliski, said the mailings were sent to all of Stuyvesant Town’s buildings (though not Peter Cooper’s) because of the high population of NYU graduate students and men in their early twenties to early thirties.
“I know this is not something people normally get in their mail,” said Kaliski. “Stuyvesant Town offers the population in a very concentrated area and we’re not too far away.”
Laura Ilowite, the company’s donor coordinator, added, “We heard a lot of NYU students were living in that area.”
Yelp is a resource kids do use in this city. My great niece actually told me at Passover dinner she should not consider living here due to the bad review. She's at NYU and lives in east 30s. Lots of students don't like the sound of multiple problems which are repeatedly posted on Yelp and one other site name escapes me.

ReplyDelete"Oval Sperm Bank: the next amenity?"
Maybe we can get Lux to come out of retirement...
I'm interested, how much do they need for a Metro Card.
ReplyDeleteI find this mailing to be gross and offensive.
ReplyDeleteDisgusting!

Sorry to be so gross but on more than one occasion I've seen used condoms in the stairwells here in dorm city.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't our benevolent landlords have maintenance harvest these previously used rubbers, sell them to the sperm bank, split the profits with NYU and maybe even hit us up with another MCI?
Jus' sayin'...
thx 10:56

One of the Cuomo 7 Long Island billionaires, Mr Dolan who owns or owned Madison Square Garden and just gave a job to Cuomo enforcer Joe Percoco is making another mark on the NYC map with the rooftop Tribeca Film Festival. Would be fascinating to see this real estate allocated map of NYC they drew 5 years ago. Of course it got the go ahead from Cuomo's crew
"The project, which has been in the works for years now, has already received the go-ahead from the City Council, City Planning Commission and Manhattan Borough President's office, the governor said"
NYC is turning into gimmicky Las Vegas, where nothing is authentic and everything is a replica of somewhere else.
How totally soulless to have possibly hundreds of petri dish offspring out there that you do not even know and don't know what kind of mothers they have or how they are being treated. I think this is totally immoral. I am not religious, but this whole concept (no pun intended!) just disgusts me so much.
ReplyDeleteHey Danny Boy. Gunna do anything about this offensive mailing that everyone got?
ReplyDeleteOr do we stay silent as usual.
Happy Holidays STR - moving out on Monday - you are valuable and amazing. Too bad the shit about to get worse here. Fact and I found much better rentals downtown - and cheaper.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays to you and yours, too. Yes, I'm sure there are cheaper and better rentals for those who are paying market rate in this complex. People should investigate. Choices exist.
