Does anyone know what the new opening on Lorimer and Jackson is? There’s a new sign on the corner that just says Johnnys, can’t find anything else about it

Hi and thanks in advance to everyone who will answer me. From what I understand Satmar is a wealthy and powerful sect (no negative meaning, just antropological): how do they obtain all that wealth if secular studies are discouraged? What kind of positions to the hold socially? Thanks.

Hi everyone! I’ve gotten into crocheting recently and have found myself going to random cafes to just work on some projects. I’ve actually met a couple of people organically through this and we’ve just parked at a table in a cafe and crocheted/knitted/embroidered for a bit, and have great conversations. Would there be anyone else interested in a gathering like this?

I’m thinking of having it be on Sunday mornings (I usually start at 9 but have met up at 10am) and I’ve been looking for cafes that typically have a large table available, and I’m usually hovering more towards the Metropolitan Ave / Graham L stop. If anyone’s interested in joining or knows of a cafe that has a large table that’s not super packed, please feel free to reach out!

was walking by the other day and noticed it was closed/windows blacked out.

what’s up?

Can someone please recommend a restaurant that serves bone marrow in the neighborhood? Extra points if they also have oysters.

TIA!

Any

Hello friends! It's your friendly local music school owner. My wife and daughter are going to be out of town on Valentine's Day, and I thought that instead of feeling lonely I could do something fun for other couples. I'm tentatively calling it Date Night with Craig, which is not very good but at least you know what you're in for.

I am thinking of a two hour block of time at Williamsburg School of Music where couples can sign up, be put in a band together with other couples, and have a few hours to learn at least one song on the instrument of their choice. They'll jam it together, we can record it, and if there are enough signups we can play a 'concert' for each other at the end of the night. And it'd be BYOB.I think it'd be something I would have liked to do, if my wife weren't away, and will be super fun.

NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY, but it's also cool if you're a shredder and want to show off for your significant other. I'm thinking it'll be about $150. I'll provide everything and bring on other staff if the turnout is good. If you think this is something you'd be into, let me know here or at craig@williamsburgschoolofmusic.net - thanks!

Does anyone have any experience going to the Google store? Would like to get my battery replaced but you can't call the store and I would like to know if I can do that before making the trek. Thanks!

Hi all - some friends and I booked tickets to nye at the moxy hotel. As you may know, it burned down and the event was cancelled. We are trying to get our money back but are not having any success through eventbrite?

Did anyone have this issue and get their money refunded? If so, how?

Last night around 6pm, from McCarren field we could see dozens of drones flying overhead. Some were high enough to look like stars that were moving fast, whereas others were close enough to see they were drones. Multiple people saw them. Some appears to be more like quadcopters whereas others were like small planes.

Did anyone else see the drones?

H folks,

I can't make it to the show on March 7, so I'm selling my tickets for $50 each—$10 off the regular price.

I'm sure it will be a mind-blowing exhibition/show! DM ME ...

Does anyone feel confident they can offer good career advice/life advice? Or know a local community/organization that has experts to talk to? I've been doing some journaling to tease my direction out but find googling online/researching other threads draining and think it could be good to touch-base (IRL) with anyone who wants to bounce ideas off each other or feels wise over coffee or drinks -- could get a group together in the neighborhood

Me: 27F on first career, not excited about opportunities in a similar industry [not interested in "online networking"]

Hello! My ipad unfortunately got stolen. I am looking for some side opportunities in graphic design and architecture to help cost the new purchase. Please let me know if you know of anything or of someone that is willing to trade an Ipad for such services!

Hi! I'm a documentary filmmaking grad student looking to make short films about the people of Williamsburg with interesting stories to tell. If you know anyone (or maybe you yourself are) working on something interesting, with a niche passion or even just someone whose story you feel deserves to be put out there, let me know! Thanks :)

So for context, I've lived in my building for 8 years. The building is two residential units above a bodega on the ground floor, and we're living on a pretty central avenue with bus stops and active foot traffic. I've had no trash-related complaints in my time living here, except for when the L train shuttle is in service and additional bus-rider congestion brings litter. The bodega also attracts some litter on my front door, but life goes on.

Now, back to this fine. Respectfully: where tf are us NYC residents with no outside storage/patio/alley expected to keep our bins? My property manager is already proposing some incoherent system for keeping the bins "in the units" (he doesn't want it in our narrow hallway) and having our supper take them to the street. I'm sorry – that's insane? Not to sound entitled and yes I'm all for better sanitation but I'll be damned if my latest apartment furnishing is a street-level trashcan that will spend it's outdoor life on a popular corner with an often busy bus stop...

Bins in the hallway as an option will interfere with firecode and also not preferable, but really, any option for storing bins inside is an intense switch up for renters who ostensibly now will be burdened with carrying bins up and down stairways 2-3x a week. I already know the super will be unreliable in helping and in any case, it's an unfair additional ask of him as well imo.

Again....all for sanitation here but wtf is really good with this policy. It's so poorly thought through.
I can't imagine I'm the only one feeling this way and I have to wonder how long this will last until enough noise is made about it. A cursory search on Reddit tells me some Wbergers have also already had their bins stolen. Hmm....
