Anybody 25+ interested in D&D?

Hi. I’ve been playing D&D for a while. It’d be cool to meet some people who are into it in Flushing. I’m learning how to DM at the moment and want to run a few in person one shots. I’m in my late 30s and would prefer people around my age, but I’m generally cool with people 25+ and up. Nothing against anyone younger, just it’s easier to vibe with people closer to my age. LGBTQ friendly. Bad vibes and bigotry won’t be tolerated. If interested, shoot me a msg.

Sweetgreen to replace the closed Boston Market in Forest Hills

Never tried Sweetgreens before (I've only encountered one in LIC and in Williamsburg, and ton of them in Manhattan). Btw, they also closed the Boston Market in Fresh Meadows. Sad but imo, bound to happen because BM isn't that busy outside of Thanksgiving.

Digiso in Jackson Heights… any thoughts?

I just found this place on 82nd Street, Jackson Heights. I felt that it is similar to Miniso somehow…. Even down to the logo designs. I am here for discussion in civil matters. I am not here to offend anyone in general.

Any thoughts?

Those In-The-Way Scooters Along Union Turnpike

I was in the area around St. John's University and those scooters are often taking up the width of the sidewalk. How are people with disabilities supposed to get around them? A person in a wheelchair. An elderly person with a walker. Are they supposed to go around the scooters because some company is taking up a space they don't own? I'm of a mind to just push them over unto the grass or into the gutter because the need for pedestrians to walk is greater than the need of an inanimate object to take up space.

Re-covering furniture - local places?

I have some old chairs from the 60s from my husband's grandmother. He doesn't want to get rid of them. Their frames are in good shape but the upholstery is stained and rotten in some places. We looked into getting them recovered several years ago, but I didn't know where to go and one place quoted me an outrageous amount even if I supplied the fabric...... Anyone know of a local Upholstery place that does a good job at a fair price? Either in Queens or on Long Island?

Lost Parrot- someone in Bayside possibly found ty

Hi everyone! The other day I was driving through Bayside and I saw a couple with this parrot. They look confused with it, so then today this came across my feed. Maybe the couple reads here! If so, the parrot they possibly found could be this one. Thank you all!

Why are there random electric scooters laying around

I’ve been seeing random electric scooters randomly laying on the ground or just standing at the corner at the intersection of Horace Harding & Francis Lewis Blvd. There’s no port or anything for them. Does anyone know why they are there? Maybe people just left them there?

Favorite Gym in Queens - Recommendations

Looking to move somewhere from Ridgewood to a new neighborhood more East as I just took a new job out in Suffolk County and want to cut the commute time down a bit (I drive). I like to workout 4-5 days a week as it helps destress and is very important for my mental health. Finding a gym within a reasonable ride from my new place is very important to me as its my go to after work activity. Any recommendations? Willing to pay more than the usual rates if it is truly worth it.
