Hey there, Bensonhurst!

Does anyone know if the ice skating rink in Coney Island is open yet? Has anyone gone recently?

The website is still referring to October ‘23 - March ‘24 so it hasn’t been updated yet online.

For anyone else interested, it’s generally open between October and March on Saturdays, Sundays and particular holidays.

Thanks in advance for any info!

Gone are the days you’d have to travel to park slope, north Brooklyn or manhattan for a tasty smash burger.

If you haven’t checked it out already, this is a Double Wagyu Smash Burger from Hangover Burger, located at 2013 86th St, Brooklyn NY 11214, formerly the location of Moge Tea, and Eats n Poke. A bit pricey at $12 and change but worth every bite of delicious goodness.

Open effort to beautify the area with a clean up will occur the morning of organized by Street Lab. Street Lab will also bring some of their programs geared towards kids and art engagement.

Or why not make a day of it and do all three?

Hey there, Reddit! There's never much going on in our little neighborhood of Bensonhurst so here's an event idea (not planned yet) for a day in the upcoming 20 days.

For dinner, which we're definitely having, it would be at Sake Sushi AYCE by the D train.

For billiards, it would be Gotham City Billiards on Ave U.

For dessert, it would be Prince Tea House or Mango Mango.

For just dinner and billiards, it would be roughly under 40 dollars at the minimum pp and 2-2.5 hours in total. (Accounting for an hour each and walking time.)

For just dinner and dessert (one dessert, one drink?) , it would be roughly under 50-60 dollars pp at the minimum and 1.5-2 hours in total.

For all three combined in one hectic, fun 3-4 hour schedule, it would be roughly under 60-70 per person.

These are all rough estimates and stated higher just in case. Please comment if it's something you'd be interested in this idea, which combination you prefer best, any suggestions, etc.

I'd like to use this post to start inner-neighborhood exploration for hidden gems and new friends, and to inspire others in our neighborhood of Bath Beach / Bensonhurst and other surrounding areas, who are semi-tired of going to northern Brooklyn and Manhattan all the time for fun events, to do the same.

Hey there, Reddit!

Looking to do another bowling meetup this week. Made a new friend and had a lot of fun last week and hoping to meet others in Bath Beach / Bensonhurst / Gravesend, basically South (geographically) Brooklyn or anyone that’s passing by the neighborhood!

Pricing, as I recall, is $25 for 2 hours with shoe rental included.

Location: 1 Bouck Ct. , Brooklyn NY 11223 Transit: B1 or take the F train (probably Coney Island bound) to Ave X.

We shot this short film in Bensonhurst/Bay Ridge two summers ago in August of 2022. Released now on Vimeo. We received a lot of love in the neighborhood when we shot our exterior scenes. It meant a lot. If anyone has a spare 15 minutes, feel free to give it a watch.

If you know anyone who is over the age of 65+ and would like a super thorough affordable dental cleaning for $10 at New York City College of Technology , feel free to contact me! X-rays are included! All cleanings are done by me (a dental hygiene student) and are supervised by licensed hygienists and dentists on site. My availabilities are:

Tuesdays: 8am-12pm Wednesday: 2pm-6pm Fridays: 8am-12pm

Please note: You must remain in the chair for 3 hours for a completed treatment. Ex: if you come on a Tuesday, you will be there from 8am-11am due to the fact that we are an educational facility. Depending on your case, you may need to come back again.

Played billiards before but haven’t in a while? Completely new? Wanting to try it out for the first time?

Hey there! Looking to meet awesome people around the neighborhood with an interest or potential interest in billiards (8 ball pool) and maybe eat afterwards!

Location: 93 Avenue U, Brooklyn, NY 11223

Comment or message if interested!

Hey there, reddit! Posting another meetup this week! Last one. Well, maybe.

Haven’t gone bowling in a bit. For reference, I go like once every year or two years… so whether you want to show off to an amateur, or make new friends, or try to make bowling a new hobby, I’m totally down to meet new people!

Location: 1 Bouck Ct, Brooklyn, NY 11223

Super bummed that I missed the grand opening and promotional offers. Passed by a few times and didn’t understand the hype or how big HEYTEA really was. Anyways…!

Looking to meet fellow tea enthusiasts in the neighborhood! I’ll probably get matcha like I usually do or something new entirely. Perhaps after, we could go to Prince Tea House or MeDo Desserts for desserts, both being pretty closeby!

Location: 2120 86th St

CORRECTION: 10/14. I’m losing my mind. Not really. I swear.

There’s so much controversy over the term South Brooklyn. Every now and then, I’m in a keyboard battle with someone who says south Brooklyn is just slightly south of downtown Brooklyn and it’s like what? Geographically, we’re on the southern part of the Brooklyn borough so south Brooklyn sounds appropriate, and southern brooklyn… well, we’re not southern. You get the point.

Anyways, even though there’s not much to do in Bensonhurst, we should try to do more meetups in the neighborhood. Billiards. Bowling. Heck, even Coney Island. Or going to Sake. It’s almost about to get cold so why not, right?

the cropsey key food only got 80/10, wondering if anyone knows a place that got packaged 90/10 or 95/5 beef

Hey there, Reddit! Haven’t posted in a while. Looking to play billiards at my favorite local spot this week and hoping to meet others. Solo works too but it’s always cool meeting new people. If you’re down to meet up and have an awesome time playing billiards, let’s do it! Have a great Monday, everyone!

Hello, I want to open a specialty coffee Cafe around 72nd street but I need help convincing my business partners on why. My main reason is because there's just no good specialty cafe's in the area and I grew up around Bensonhurst so I honestly just want to give back to the community in a way I'm passionate about. I should mention, they want to open around Brighton Beach as it has more foot traffic. The way I see it, Bensonhurst has more loyal foot traffic but that isn't enough for them :/

Edit: When I say give back I mean I want to provide coffee that I believe anyone from coffee enthusiasts to people wanting a quick coffee can enjoy

Edit2: Sorry to anyone I respond to late at night. I think i drink too much coffee

Hi guys, I just got a new job in where I will need to be driving in order to get there. Since its going to be my first time having a car in NYC, I was wondering how hard is it to find parking at around 7pm in Bensonhurst area? I would also appreciate any advice if its really hard to do so. Thank you!

Just to add some clarification, I live in a residential area and I will be getting off work at 6pm so its going to be around 1 hour travel time back to my place in Bensonhurst.

Moved to the area recently, any suggestions on gyms?

Prefer cleanliness, free weights/barbells, working A/C

hi! i’ve lived here my entire life yet all my friends are from manhattan/downtown brooklyn/staten island. if anyone is down to make a friend please hit me up! 19F :)

I went to place on 86th that had a promotion- $35 massage for $25. I gave $7 tip and the guy at the front said “can you give more for a tip?” I said I gave 20% (for regular price of 35) and he replied “yeah, that’s not enough.” I repeated I gave20%, $7 and he just said “ok, fine…”

How much were they expecting? This was a regular massage, nothing special. 25? More?

Hi all, was just wondering is there was a barber in bensonhurst with decent prices? I just get a beard trim and do not really want to pay 20 bucks for it. Thanks.

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.
