Run club

Is there a running club in the area? I know a lot of people run around the 2.1 mile Dyker Beach park- was wondering if people would be interested in forming or if there is already a run club.

65th St & 18th Ave Chipotle>86th St & 20th Ave

The chipotle on 65th and 18th is personally my favorite chipotle out of all of them in nyc, and the best part is living near it… I’ve been to so many different locations chipotles that a lot of it tastes differently, but this one is on point with everything. The steak is consistently always good and the portions are generous. The staff is always friendly and makes me feel welcomed… Their will be times where they will hire some weirdos. The on 86st and 20th is just straight garbage… if you go to that one idk why, I guess cause the other ones are far but maybe if we stop going and giving that one business? Then they could actually manage the workers into some type of effort into working. Couldn’t pay me to eat at that one. Don’t get me started on the portions and guac.

Loud annoying biker throughout the day and night

You know exactly who I’m talking about, specifically around 18th ave from 75th-65th every day every night this kid just rips his bike… is nobody going to hold him accountable for this? He should put that type of effort into a job application…

(New?) Billiards / Gaming / Cyber Cafe

What’s up, Reddit? Wild question but anyone else noticed the new cyber cafe on 1931 86th St? Just walked in to enquire and it’s a neat little spot. Honestly never noticed it before.

Primarily interested in the billiards and was wondering if anyone else wanted to check it out too? Would love to meet other locals and check out a cool place at the same time!

Is it healthy to drink bug milk?

We go outside and catch as many bugs as possible in the blender with water it tastes so bad and gives me the worst diarrhea ever and even my turtle drinks it and vomits it back up I thought bugs are healthy but the more bugs I drink the worse I feel

Best Sashimi in Town?

Well, not town, but you get what I mean. Recently, I’m testing out the carnivore diet, with few exceptions, and while I’ve always preferred giant special rolls (at least 4 to fill me up), I’m going to go for sashimi. And I have no idea on sashimi quality or anything since I’ve had so little of it.

  1. Where do you recommend getting sashimi?
  2. Where’s the most affordable sashimi? (I understand this might not be the best.)
  3. What sashimi type is your favorite?

Billiards/Pool Buddy

Good morning, Reddit! Whether you call it pool or billiards.. Whether you are interested in playing pool or are a seasoned professional… And if you live in preferably our little, lovely neighborhood of Bensonhurst,

Let’s play pool together!

Hi there. I’m a 26M that usually goes solo to Gotham City Billiards and while that’s fun and all, I’d really love to play with someone.

Timing: I’m usually free after 5pm on most days, unless there’s plans later in the day. We can do other activities as well.

Prestige Steakhouse

Hello, Reddit! Ever since I was in middle school (jeez, it’s been a while), I’ve passed by the steakhouse right under Dolphin. And ever since then, all I know is that it looks so fancy from the outside with no way to tell what’s in.

Has anyone been there recently? How’s the food? Atmosphere? Is it worth going to? I’ve been wanting to check it out.

Alternative Locations to the Homeless Shelter

Can someone please tell me where the two proposed alternative locations are for the homeless shelter at 86th St? Cant find any info on this. Would also be good to know when the next community board meeting is if anyone knows (I dont see any dates in the Community District website). Thank you so much.

Where to get groceries

Hello, I’ve moved here from California so I’m used to driving ~20 min for Whole Foods or trader joes for my groceries. But now I have no car here in Bensonhurst and was wondering where to get fresh groceries from? Preferably near 86th or Bay parkway. I know there’s alota asian markets but any particular one that stands out from the rest? Thank you in advance.
