Anyone tired of the real skinny woman who follows people around asking them to buy her things, she’s kinda menacing. When I first moved I bought her a sandwich at the corner store on Jay and York and she asked the people at the counter if they had cigarettes like it’s my deal to buy her cigs.

Btw there are a lot of homeless people who are just fine in the neighborhood but this one is scaring my wife when she’s out alone cuz she gets in her face asking her to buy her things and following her and idk what to do about it.

I think she’s a drug addict because sometimes she’s yelling like crazy.

Anyone else have trouble with her or know who I’m talking about.

Israeli place with another location on the UWS.

Did this place close down? It’s been shut and curtains are drawn. If true, sad to see so many establishments go.

Some small food-related thing is being installed next to the little hobo post office, across from the cleaners/Al Mar.

Anyone got info?

Of course they are not doing any of the more ambitious plans involving covers or tunnels.

This mostly seems the same-ish, isn't starting for another 5 years, and will take 5 years to finish. Pretty disappointing!

Pickleball courts, seating and a dog run, opening next year.

Hi all,

This crazy thing happened the other day, and I wanted to ask here if anyone know what led to it or what happened after. I can't get it off my mind.

I had just left the Time Out Market in Dumbo and was standing at the corner of Main St. and Plymouth St. waiting for a cab. Suddenly, an older, foreign male just behind me is panicking. He's with his wife and two daughters whom he tries to protect from something. He yells 3-4 times to a couple next to them to "Call the police please" and people start running around. Left is the man in front of his family and a this other very pale, psychotic looking man in a dark blue jacket.

The husband realizes that he's after him only and starts to run backwards down Plymouth St. away from his family. The other man, in the blue jacket, calmly walks directly after him. Like he's locked in. It looks like he's carrying something in his pocket at this point. Another male from the crowd runs after - and my cab arrived, so I left.

Curious if anyone were there, saw anything, or heard anything?

it was my fav lunch spot and haven't seen it for weeks haha

Hey All,

I have a windowed two-person office in the DUMBO WeWork (77 Sands) and I'm looking for someone to share with me. I'm negotiating hard so I expect final price will be 500-600 each and I'd want you to split the general liability insurance with me (which is $600 a year).

You'll have a desk, chair, heater, etc. I'm not in the office most days past 12 or 1pm (just had a new baby) but I should get back to the 9-5 in a few months.

I'm super flex on move in dates/times and length. If you're interested or know someone who is, DM me.
