Local Photographers?

Any recommendations for photographers in the neighborhood offering mini sessions or that could shoot a few family pictures. I’m hoping to send out holiday cards this year and my iPhone photography skills are lacking 😂 . TYIA!

Please share your favorite low key NYE activities

What it says on the tin. Looking for things to do that’s more laid back than high energy.

Everything Must Go - Sale

There’s a clearance sale @ 41st Ave and 27th Street, where I got this rattan side table for $20 yesterday

Other than furniture pieces, there were also stacks of leather notebooks, notepads, manila envelopes, etc

Current owners are really sweet, and they’re basically trying to get rid of everything before the new owner takes over the building this weekend

Have fun with the finds

In Need of Recommendations of Vegan Friendly Restaurants That Are Not Exactly Vegan

Hi! I'm traveling up to Astoria/LIC, Queens, and I'm planning on grabbing lunch with my cousin. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for vegan friendly restaurants in the Astoria/LIC area that are not necessarily vegan. I think some cuisines I prefer are Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Laotian, and Italian, but I'm open to others! Any input regarding this would be much appreciated! Thanks so much!

company holiday party ideas

so I work for a small local business and we had a bit of a rough year financially but I still want to put together a fun holiday party for our amazing team. what's an affordable (under $1000) option in the neighborhood for 20 or so people to have dinner and drinks? trying to think of a cute, modest space where we could maybe even bring in our own food and/or drinks.

p.s. before someone thinks they're smart with "people would rather have money" believe me, I already know, and if I were in charge of that decision I wouldn't even have made this post 🙃

Gantry Home and Hardware

I just wanted to give a small shout out to gantry home and hardware by court square station. I’ve been here a few times for random things ranging from looking for a niche sized battery, to getting keys copied, to looking grabbing some drano for my sink. Every time I’ve been there service has been amazing and the clerks are always very friendly. When I bought a battery and wasn’t sure about the size the clerk told me that if it didn’t fit my appliance I should bring it back and he would refund me.

With the new Target nearby the hardware store has been a bit quiet so I just wanted to shout them out here, and encourage people to support their business!
