Women running in a red thong in the morning around N4th and Kent

Not sure if I was imagining this but was there a young woman on a run, like a casual run, in nothing but a red thong this morning at around 8am? I was coming back from a friends place so was a bit out of it but I’m pretty sure I saw this young woman in a red thong on a run. It seemed like she had a nice running watch too and was on a pace so it wasn’t like she was running away from something.

Was she not cold? Am I just losing it?

Helicopter circling

Around Lorimer & Skillman. Shining lights on an apartment building and a bunch of cops surrounding the area. Anyone know what happened?

Best wonton soup?

Question says it all. Preferably not where you've gotten food poisoning from before (looking at you, M Shanghai).

Where would you go for a coffee pop up?

Hey all!

I live in the Southside and have been thinking about doing something involving coffee / tea for a while. As someone into quality specialty coffee, it is a bit frustrating that I have to travel a little further east or to a different neighborhood to get a really solid cup of coffee.

With that being said, I’ve thought of doing a monthly pop up consisting of a simple menu: one quality hand brewed filter coffee from a highlighted roaster (rotates), one specialty beverage, and a quality matcha latte.

I’d ideally find a temporary home for this, but was wondering where people would be interested in seeing this to start. Domino Park is an obvious choice, but I feel like I might have a hard time with security. Perhaps near McCarren Park? Curious to see if people would be interested in this. Thanks!

Early Voting

I will have lived in NY for 30 days by Election Day, but am still technically registered in another state. My mail-in ballot for my previous residence hasn’t come in yet or has gotten lost in the mail, so I want to ensure I can vote in some capacity.

Has anyone had experience registering in person during Early Voting? I would bring a utility bill or copy of my lease and verify name with my out of state drivers license.

Is polling site based on zip? I am not registered in NY so I can’t search for my polling site. My zip is 11211 if anyone can offer some advise?

Thanks!

Marcela is pro-Trump?

Not that the text is a compelling message, but asked the restaurant about this two days ago and nothing done yet. The paint smelled fresh when we walked by. Didn’t seem like they were hit by graffiti…

Xylophone (?) player

Are you the person in McCarren Park who plays the xylophone (I think??) for 4+ hours at a time 3+ days a week? Does anyone know this person? Going on for months now and it’s always happening when I am on work zooms so I can’t go ask them to please consider moving to an area of the park that is not directly in front of people’s apartments. The sound carries and is so loud. I can hear it over calls with noise cancelling headphones on. Please help 🥲🥲🥲🥲

Also found plastic in Trader Joe’s chicken

Saw the post about someone else finding plastic in the chicken and just wanted to spread the word to be on the lookout cause I had the same thing happen. I showed them the pic at the store and got a refund. I will not be contacting the attorney general lol

ADVICE: Piece of hard plastic cooked inside of Trader Joe’s frozen enchilada entree

Hi everyone. I don’t really know what to do here, but I know that I really want to do as much as possible to ensure fewer people ever have to bite into plastic cooked into food from the supermarket. A few days ago, I purchased frozen chicken enchiladas from Trader Joe’s, cooked it in the microwave, ate some if it, and then bit into a hard black piece of plastic the size of half of my fingernail. Luckily I didn’t eat it. I was able to spit it out. I’m obviously grossed out and disturbed by this but I have no idea what to do to hold Trader Joe’s and/ or the manufacturer accountable. I have the packaging for the frozen entrée, the rest of the frozen entrée that I didn’t eat, the black, hard piece of plastic, and the receipt. I already called Trader Joe’s and told them what happened and a very kind manager asked me to bring everything by the store. He offered me a refund for the enchiladas but that obviously doesn’t even begin to make up for what happened. I also left a voicemail for the state department of agriculture and markets to put in a formal complaint. Any other advice? Thx fam.

New Year’s ✨

Are there any fun restaurants featuring live music or a DJ for New Year's? I'm looking for a place with a late dinner, a midnight countdown, and the opportunity to dance!

Baby shower venues?

Hi there! I am looking for a venue space to host my baby shower for ~20-30 people in January (so somewhere with indoor space is a must). I live in Williamsburg, BK but am open to other locations within BK or Manhattan.

Any ideas for something on the more casual / cost friendly side?

Thanks for any suggestions :)

Deux Chats on Broadway needs to turn down their music volume

Deux Chats is not even a club….I don’t understand how they can be this noisy past 2am in a residential area. Your neighbours are literally suffering from your noise pollution and you treat anyone that has a complaint with you with utter disregard… Please have some empathy for people that have work in the morning…

If anyone has experience in suing a bar for noise pollution, please let me know. I think we’re all going mad…

Cafe Valencia

Never been, live super close to it. Never hear anyone talk mention it, including in this sub.

I know I should just check it out (and I will) but is it any good?

What to do about Mikey?

That’s what I think his name is anyway. Grungy, white skulking junkie who has been on/around Graham Ave for years. Usually he doesn’t bother people much but recently he’s been yelling at and threatening people - saying he’s going to “fuck up” people who ignore him when he wants to “ask a question.” He’s been following people too; he followed me down Graham and into Lemon Tree when I tried to get away from him not long ago.

At first, I’ve offered to buy him food. I’ve tried to refer him to resources. He just tells me to fuck off and then asks for money. Initially I felt bad, now I think he’s just an asshole and maybe a dangerous one. I don’t know what the solution is, but the police won’t do shit about him and who knows when he might snap and actually hurt someone. He was getting super aggressive toward trick or treaters tonight.

I was curious if anyone has been living here or has heard about if it's a nice building or another "luxury" building with tons of issues.

Where can I order affordable pizza for delivery besides dominos?

Dominos is good but they don’t even bring the pizza upstairs. Is there anywhere else that deliver pizza on the north and south side. Preferably places that have classic toppings like pepperoni and sausage pizza. Want to try something different from dominos
