If you haven’t yet registered to vote, you can tonight at Rum Bar (733 Franklin Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11238). I just walked by and there are people tabling. Not sure how late they’ll be out but if you’ve been putting off registering and wish you had this is your chance to do it! The weather is also lovely tonight so get a nice walk out of it. Thanks to those tabling if you see this!

TLDR: register to vote at Rum Bar tonight @ 733 Franklin Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11238

Hey everyone!

I'm a graduate student working on my master’s in journalism and a Latino beat reporter focusing on stories within the Latino communities in New York. I’m currently looking for potential stories in Crown Heights and Prospect Heights. Topics can range from politics, health, education, personal narratives, and culture. If you know of any issues or experiences affecting Latino community members, I’d love to hear from you! Please feel free to reach out—your insights could help shape important local reporting.

Thanks so much!

I (F24) am looking for a queer and/or women’s book club - do any exist in Crown Heights, or would anyone be interested in being part of one? 🤓🤓

Anyone else trying to be bullied out of their apartment by L Rose Realty? / had just god awful experiences with the management? Some real questionable practices happening and just want to ask the community is they are experiencing something similar.

Hi! Looking for a sublet for around 3-6 months with a move in date no later then November 1st. My max budget is 1600$ wanted to see if anyone knew of anything. Thank you!

We have a brand new, unopened Sealy Nature Couture Cotton Bliss 2-Stage Crib and Toddler Mattress that we ended up not needing. It's new in the original packaging.

Here’s a link to the exact one: https://sealybaby.com/product/sealy-nature-couture-cotton-bliss-2-stage-crib-mattress/

Looking to give it away to someone in the neighborhood who can use it. DM me if interested.

Moving to the area on 11/1 and want to have a few spots I can grab a drink, meet people from the neighborhood and just kick it.

Looking for spots similar to Coyote Club, Do or Dive, Bad Luck Bar, etc.

TIA!

Anyone know of any good coffee shops looking for baristas? Film industry is dying and ya boy needs a part time job

Hello!

I currently live in a great, rent-stabilized studio on Rogers but am looking for a sublet to lease takeover for 12/15/24. My current lease is until 5/15/25 with option to renew after that. I've lived here since May 2023.

The current rent is $2150 paid online through a portal. One months security deposit. No brokers fee if going through me to take over!

Hardwood floors and exposed brick. Two big windows in the living area, a window in the kitchen and a window in the bathroom.

I live on the second floor of a three floor building. No dishwasher or laundry in the building but very affordable wash and fold around the corner.

I love the apartment and the location- I am only leaving because a family friend had a 1br available in Carroll gardens that was too good of a deal to pass up

Pictures available upon request

Approx ten min walk to Franklin Ave Medgers subway stop

Happy to answer any & all questions. Thank you!

Hi! I have a hybrid schedule and I'm looking for a cute and cozy restaurant to work out of that serves breakfast and lunch and has good WiFi. Any recommendations?

If they play good music that's a major bonus.

I lost my keys near St Johns and Washington. If anyone's seen or picked up keys near there let me know!

If you’ve seen this car in the neighborhood before, it’s wild lmao. Does anyone have an idea of what this is all about bc I can’t tell if it’s for real or not? There are other decals on the side and always makes my head turn when I bike past it. (most recently seen on Sterling st)

(Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this)

I've been in Crown Heights for a little while now and haven't met a lot of people! Looking for new connections. I'm in my mid-20s & queer. I have a wide range of interests:

• Gaming, hiking, raves/EDM, Pokémon, board games, stand up, history, museums, foreign languages, going to Prospect Park/Botanic Gardens, cats/animals, weed lol

Super open to trying/doing new things. Chat me, we can exchange social media & maybe meet up somewhere nearby!

This is my most vulnerable post on this website please don't downvote it lmao

Been slowly going through the menu at the new Greyz Bistro and I have a new favorite.

This was amazing! The steak is tossed and cooked in a special sauce with asian spices and they also cook the potatoes in a Thai chili sauce, over some fluffy eggs. Shit is GOOD!

The chef is really talented, loved chatting with him, apparently he grew up in the neighborhood so that’s dope!

Anyone know what's up with the huge lot across from Major Owens? Super annoying how it's just been rotting there for years with no activity. Not even a proper sidewalk.

I know this is New York and there's trash everywhere and everything is filthy. But walking around the neighborhood here, it just feels so frustrating. So much of the mess is either just people not picking up their dog's poop, or litter, or a PILE of soggy trash that sits there for days. No wonder the rats are so bad here. It all feels so self inflicted.

Are there any local groups that do neighborhood clean ups? Or even someone we could try talking to about this?

Anyone know what the new place is going to be on the corner of Nostrand and Sterling—next door to Warude? It’s being renovated now and it looks like it might be a restaurant or bar space.

I found a ginger cat on the corner of Ralph and Atlantic Avenue.

He has a collar and came over to me when I put out my hand so he's definitely someone's pet!!!

He seems healthy but is a bit dirty and thin, so he's been living in the wild for a while.

If you see this post please ask around (pet store, vet) if anyone's missing a cutie : )

Where can I watch Yankee playoff games on TV??? Please help

I‘m taking the LSAT remotely within the next few weeks and need a private work space to take it. The only solid requirement is that there can be no glass windows, panels, or doors. Other than that, I‘d just need Wifi, a desk, and relative quiet. Does anyone know of any rentable places like this in the area?

Hello! I am a 28 year old black female moving back to New York after a few years away for grad school. I previously lived in Manhattan for 8 years prior but am making the move to BK.

I'm considering an apartment on Rogers St between Eastern Parkway and Atlantic Ave. How is the neighborhood? Is there a decent amount to do? What are your thoughts?

Found this one making noise and looking lost around midnight near St John’s/Washington. Hoping to return her (?) to a loving home!

Does anyone know what the new spot is on Kingston and Sterling, next to Pando’s? It was being renovated for a while, and is now filled with plants and office desks. Is it related to Mimosa Floral Studio a few doors down?
