does anyone have any intel on the downfall of head sounds? a few cryptic instagram posts and now they’ve fully rebranded— obviously bad blood between the two owners, but what the hell went down??
I will miss you, head sounds 🥲❤️

I’m staying at the Fort Greene House at Outpost Club and wanted to share my impressions of the neighborhood. It’s definitely got a more family-oriented vibe and feels very safe! I have to commute into Manhattan for work and it’s within great commuting distance for my needs. I also love that it seems a little older and more mature than the artsy party vibe I get from Bushwick, but there’s still plenty to see/do within the neighborhood.
Anyone have any luck purchasing one-day passes to play on tennis courts in Fort Greene (or any NYC park I guess).
Since I'm just getting back into tennis now, so late in the season, and I don't have a regular partner to play with I figured it'd make more sense to just buy one-day passes for the times I find people to play with, rather than buy a season pass just for two months, not even knowing how often or if I'll get to play.
I assumed you could buy a pass the day of since you have to sign up in-person the day of for courts in Ft Greene, but apparently you buy it online and they MAIL it to you like it's 1996. (Here's the link to the info)
Would love advice from any FG tennis players about either the one-day or season pass and how in reality they both work. Thanks so much!
Hi! Hope this post is allowed here, I am a journalism student recently assigned to cover Fort Greene for a neighborhood news class. I love the park but I live elsewhere and I haven’t spent a ton of time in the neighborhood. I’ve been visiting a ton recently to get to know it, but I thought this might be a good place to get some story ideas. What would you like to see covered in your neighborhood?
Found a wallet this morning outside of Bergen Bagels on Myrtle, around 9:30 am today. DM me if you lost one to see if it matches!
What’s the biggest + and - of this area?
Hi- just moved to the area! Any recommendations on places to eat and things to see/do?
Just curious if anyone has info on what happened to this cool little record shop.
The last post on their social shows the space completely bare. It's accompanied by a caption from one of the owners who says he was out of town for a week and, when he came back, his partner had emptied out the shop?!
Now it's showing as "permanently closed" on Google. Such a shame.
I’m getting ahead of myself, but looking for suggestions for a 1st birthday party space in the neighborhood. I really don’t want to do a traditional “party room” at a kid space and pay $1000 for bad pizza and a swift 2hr cap. I’d love to host something at my apartment but there really isn’t room.
Birthday is in January so has to be indoors.
Ideally I’d just like an open space where the kids can crawl/run around, we can bring some toys, and the adults can hang and talk. Maybe bring in something like Moozika for the kids. Basically looking for the indoor version of a picnic in the park.
Any suggestions on where? I know Ryerson Towers has a rec room and I’ve seen parties there, has anyone rented that?
I have a lot of scoby that I am going to toss, so figured I would offer some up here first. Got some interest last time.
Hi all, I moved to Fort Greene last month (hello!) and requested to join the Buy Nothing group weeks ago but am still pending. I’m wondering if anyone has any insight/advice? I have a few things to give away & some ISO items for the new apartment so have checked the status daily to no avail. I saw a post here from around a month ago with a similar issue. I’ve also messaged the moderators but no reply yet. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, TIA :)
Edit: thanks all- seeing as the group is thousands of members wide, I can see how approval would take a while. I’ll keep waiting!
Just saw hundreds of bikes ride down Dekalb near Evelina. Anyone know which bike club/event it was? I want to join!
edit: it was around 8:30pm tonight (thursday)
Does anyone know if the debate is being shown at any bars or restaurants in the area? I’d like to find a place to watch.
Would love to know where you ladies and gents go for facials in the area. I don't really want to go to Manhattan as after a facial I'm glowwwwwing and would rather just walk home :)
Just a PSA to avoid Crunch. I had a horrible experience there with two different trainers. The first was super inappropriate and got fired for sexually harassing clients, my second trainer was careless and injured me. Crunch is refusing to issue a refund even though I have a doctor’s note. None of the machinery is properly secured, the machines are rusted and shift around while you’re working out. In general the place is gross. The machines are rusted because of the humidity and mold. Stay away! Especially women. Save your time and money.
Does anyone know?
Hello - my partner and I are considering moving in with our young family to Fort Greene around Ashland and Myrtle. We are wondering if that area and all adjacent areas are safe at normal hours taking reasonable precautions.
Does the area generally get decent foot traffic/is it well lit at most times of the day? Are there any areas to stay away from?
I know it’s a long shot, but worth a try. My wife and I are in search of a 1 bedroom in the area. Not tied to Fort Greene, but love the neighborhood and the surrounding area. October 1 move in. Refreshing Craigslist / StreetEasy / Facebook frequently. Any leads to local landlords would help! Thank you!
Do you worry a lot?
