#the NYMF members would start SO many relationships with locals and each other

They become a “wizard tower” because they have like…basic medical knowledge and hygiene. Theres like one person in the apartment block who’s like, a nurse at best, and they don’t think it’s a big deal. But they get a reputation for solving unsolvable problems so some poor schmucks bring in someone they think is dying in the hopes the New Yorkers can help.

At first they’re like “we’re not a medical school-“ and then someone points out the first case brought to them just has fucking scurvy and they actually do cure them in like a week with a diet fortified with the descendants of some potatoes they had planted when they first got there.

Cue a continuous stream of magical people and creatures coming to them to have them fix their problems, only about 10% of which are actually medical, and the rest are various flavors of “I got cursed” which is handled by the local paralegal who can generally rules lawyer their way out of anything, “I’m feeling terrible in my brain” which is can be handled by the therapist who was visiting the apartment block at the time of the isekai, and “my animals are being attacked by local wildlife” which is 100% of the time handled by a REALLY vicious orange tabby who has a thirst for blood and has realized it’s smart enough and deadly enough to take down anything short of an adult DRAGON if it puts its mind to it.

Note also: A whole flock of pigeons and crows is brought with them into the fantasy world and thanks to an particularly dedicated fellow on the spectrum with a hyperfixation on birds, the New York Magicians Forum (also known as the NYMFs) becomes renowned far and wide as a hub of communication with their magical birds that can and fill find their way home from anyway.

…also the apartment block 100% has a craft beer bar in it so it also becomes known as the most interesting tavern in the entire continent. The craft beer owners, rather than be alarmed by the isekai, were practically vibrating with excitement at the chance to use magical potions in their drinks.

Cue another potions expert coming to visit and have on of the drinks “Yo, how are you enjoying our beer that can turn people blue?” “Wait, your beer can turn us blue?!?!?” “Uh, yeah? Don’t your magical potions do that?” “No?!?!?!? What the fuck have you people be PUTTING in these drinks?!?!?”

isekai about a nyc apartment block getting teleported into a fantasy realm, and how this group of people who previously have only had incidental contact with one another come together to build a vibrant community in their new circumstances. there's a season-long arc about introducing bagels and pizza to the fantasy world that gets into the details of sourcing ingredients, developing new technologies, and learning how to work with supernatural substitutions.
