I can't comment on any services within the consulate, but the poster display was really cool, and of course I had to take a photo of each of the ten posters. The movies depicted were: Rosemary's Baby; Platoon; Star Wars; Terminator; Blue Velvet; Pulp Fiction; Blues Brothers; The Bridge on the River Kwai; Apocalypse Now; and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. My favourite poster was Blues Brothers. The consulate is a beautiful building, and near the entrance is a sculpture of a man on a bench, sitting beside a chess board. According to the plaque, it is Jan Karski, a Polish underground courier and resistance fighter in World War II. [Yelp collections: NY Christmas 2022]

My recent experience with the Croatian embassies in the U.S. was truly appalling. I first called…read morethe Croatian Embassy in Chicago at (312) 482-9902 to inquire about the process for voting in local elections in Dubrovnik from abroad. The male representative who answered was shockingly rude. When I asked for guidance, his exact words were: "I've never had anyone ask me that question in 12 years." When I requested a follow-up after he consulted someone, he bluntly said he had no time to waste on it. I asked for his name, and he refused to provide it. Hoping for better assistance, I contacted the Croatian Embassy in Washington, D.C. A female representative answered and informed me that I could only vote in presidential elections, not local ones, from abroad. When I politely asked for her name for reference, she responded by yelling at me: "Why are you asking me for my name?! What is your name?"--in a completely unprofessional tone. I've never encountered such a lack of professionalism and courtesy, especially from representatives of a national embassy. These positions should be held by individuals who are trained to assist citizens with respect and competence. Shame on you, Croatia, for allowing such poor representation abroad.

Yelp Review 2026 #25:…read more The nearest Philippine Consulate General office to where I live is in Los Angeles. But I was in New York and had to take care of some documents so, I figured, I might as well make an appointment and do it here. I followed everything listed on their website and made sure I had everything with me to take to my appointment. They're located near Times Square. I arrived 30 minutes early and they had just opened. People were already waiting in line and I thought I picked the earliest appointment available. There were chairs but not enough. They asked me what I was there for and was directed to go to the basement. I gave them my documents and I was told I was missing a document. Like how? Why didn't you list it on your website??? After going back and forth and trying to stay calm with the man behind the counter, I just left and booked an appointment in L.A. I brought the same documents and it was approved.

The story goes like this, I have an appointment to renew my passport and gathered all the pertinent documents in my possession. Arrived at the consulate very early as i am the first appointment. I met with an alien, you know one person with two brains. My documentation was reviewed and I'm missing an ID. My ID was either lost or stolen, a NYPD police report was obtained to support the lost or stolen ID. The alien insisted that I bring an ID, which I don't have. A couple of recommendations from the alien is obtained high school ID , NBI CLEARANCE ID, BAPTISMAL CERTIFICATE ETC. Essentially, I had to visit the consulate four times. and still did not get my passport. I am very frustrated with this alien.
