Evening study spaces

Are there any places open in the evening (eg until 8pm) for someone to study near the President St stop?

I had hoped that the Major Owen's center would be an option but it doesn't seem they have any dedicated study spaces

Thank you for any and all recommendations!

Crown Heights Martial Arts

Hi Neighbors! I’m overcoming a long term sickness turned chronic illness and well.. I’m tired of being sick and tired. I’m deeply weak, exhausted all the time. SO - I’d like to join a Martial Arts spot that is beginner friendly for middle aged ladies like me. Figured it’d helpful doubling for self defense and confidence possibly. Any recommendations? 🙏🏽💜

Kitten near St Johns between Nostrand/Rogers

Hi all - this is probably fruitless but my animal-loving heart hurts so I figured I’d try.

Last night around 3am I was woken up by a screaming teeny baby kitten outside of my window.

I was out on the sidewalk for two hours trying to coax it out of its hiding spot under the engine block (?) of a sedan with no success. (Looking like a crazy lady psst psst-ing at a car while drunk people stumbled home)

Please keep your eyes peeled for a teeny black kitten - feel free to DM me if you find it but don’t have the resources to care for it - I’ll make sure it gets the care it needs.

Kitty looking for a new home

Hi! This is George. A snugs-loving, naps-loving, 7-year old kitty who is looking for a new forever family. I adopted George when he was 2 years old and it breaks my heart that I can no longer take care of him. As his mom, I would love to find him a caring home that will forever give him love and tons of food. He looooves food. Mealtime is his favorite time of day.

While he is a loving kitty, he does best by himself, with no other kitties. He likes his own space and wants to keep his parents’ love all to himself.

If someone is interested in bringing a new member of the family home, please DM me.

Stranger things-esque screech?

Does anyone hear a periodic screech that sounds like it’s coming from a demogorgan? I hear it at random points of the day. I’m at franklin and lincoln

I feel like I see a really large number of french and german tourists in crown heights/bed stuy

I see them with their suitcases all the time, any idea why? Just seems out of place and a very random neighborhood for tourists to choose. Specifically in areas further away from the Museum/not towards downtown.

Starting A Resistance

So, as we all know, tr*mp "won" the election and no Democrat is willing to look into the massive voting discrepancies and fElon saying to tr*mp that he can change the voting machine code. Now that we are faced with reality of a fascist president, we need to take action. There are asylum shelters right here in Crown Heights that we need to protect. When the goon squad gets activated, we need to protect these people.

woman who asks for money by saying she’s just pissed herself

has anyone else run into her? no particular reason for posting this, but a lot of friends have encountered her in crown heights over the years and it has always struck me as a strange panhandling tactic.

Mouse in apartment, help needed

Hey neighbors,

I suspect I have a mouse in my apartment. I am terrified. I really thought I had secured my apartment as I have scoured through numerous times looking for entry points and sealed everywhere possible. Between myself, the past tenant, and an exterminator - all entry points seemed to be addressed. For future term I am looking to adopt a cat, but that won’t be until after the new year.

Can I borrow someone’s cat for a few days? Specifically a cat which has hunted mice before. Also I am looking for someone to do caulking around the baseboard of my small apartment for pay.

Let me know, thanks.

I’m between Franklin x Dean

Bbq spot on Nostrand and sterling.

Does anybody know what happened to the bbq spot on the corner of Nostrand and sterling. They used to bbq right on the sidewalk and they haven’t been there in a while..

I’m guessing they maybe shut it down for the winter but if anybody has any info that would be great… I was going there at least once a week lol

Panhandler kneeling in the street

On the corner on Franklin @ Atlantic. He's out there most nights I walk by. The other night, on Thursday, when it was raining more significantly, he was lying on his back. I did a 311 report (uploaded screen grabs), which was closed with no sign of incident. This is really dangerous for everyone involved.

Best bodega food in crown heights

I usually go for a chop cheese from the deli off of nostrand and Bergen (natural grill and grocery) but I was wondering if there was another hidden gem somewhere in the crown heights area

What’s up with Alenbi (Nostrand & Crown)?

Does anyone know what the deal is with Alenbi, the kosher restaurant on Crown and Nostrand? I live in the area and it seems like it’s been temporarily closed for a few years now.

Anyone know if someone else ever took over the lease or if they plan on reopening?

Best Burger spot?

I feel like there aren't many places in CH to get a good burger. 99 Rogers is my go-to nearby for bar food. Any other opinions on burgers nearby?

EDIT: I didn't really think before posting - The Canary has a *really good* burger but they don't delivery and I don't think they do pickup like that.

Does anyone go to Blink on Fulton?

Do you recommend it? Used to go to a gym in Midtown near my work, but recently left my job and am looking for options in the neighborhood. Any feedback appreciated!
