What to do ?!

Hey everyone!

Exited to be coming to Williamsburg at the end of December for a couple of days! I will be with my family, and I am looking for some activities to do post diner. Typically in the past we have gone to see shows...However looking at the $ this year, a lot of them have really jacked up there prices, and I am not generally looking to break the bank on this matter. I am primarily looking for something to do for 1-2 hours after diner before heading back to the hotel. It would be great if it was not just a bar recommendation.

Potential ideas: Comedy club, activities (bowling, indoor golf, ax throwing), game rooms, dessert, sporting events, theatre...

It does not have to also only be located in Williamsburg, I am open to jumping on the subway or taking a taxi if you really recommend it!!

I am open to anything and would love to hear your suggestions!!!

Christmas tree deals?

Been walking down Wythe and Kent trying to. Compare prices and many are charging ~240$ for a 6-7 foot! I’m aware of where we live but is that not crazy? Anyone have feedback from their search? Happy to walk a little thanks

Mailboxes on Driggs and Havemeyer closed

Tried to mail a check in both mailboxes. It seems they are plugged. Heard from a store that they are no longer working, but I see no signs on the boxes themselves. Must go to Post Office or store that takes outgoing mail. What is going on here?

24 hour shoe cobbler

Open to reccs in Manhattan as well (just nothing in UES or UWS). Looking to get a new piece to a small pointed heel shaft that ripped off in the subway grate. Going on a trip Tuesday afternoon, so looking for places that’d have a quick turnaround (i.e. could pick up Tuesday midday at the latest). Thanks in advance!

GTA type altercation on Roebling & metropolitan just now

I just saw a couple j walking across metropolitan (really shitty j walking if I might add) and they got love tapped by a black sedan. I think the dude banged on the hood of the car and then kinda ran off with his lady. The driver of the car put the car in park, got out and chased after the couple. She ended up swinging on the dude and made contact but then he swung right back and knocked her to the ground. She got up and chased after them but they were long gone and she was looking on the sidewalk for something. A bunch of people saw so I drove off but curious if anyone stuck around because I’m nosy as shit

Some GTA type shit

McCarren Circus Noise

Does anybody else live near McCarren? The circus that started today and it is incredibly loud and I just learned they will be doing multiple shows per day through 12/15

I was here last year but honestly don’t recall it being this disruptive to the neighborhood. Anyone else?

best / cheapest spot for .. just a hair wash post-surgery?

Kind of random! I (33F) had to have a specific arm/wrist surgery recently and I cannot wash my hair! Does anyone recommend a spot for a cheap hair wash? A blow dry would be nice but I don’t mind walking out with wet hair.

34M, looking for a gym friend

I am near the ferry building; like doing compound exercises, cardio, and some machine. Usually I do MWF, around 8am; down for Grind house, running outside, or my building’s amenity gym.

Above all else, I care about consistency and structure. Feeling good and taking care of my body.

Maybe do some stretches before we start working out!

Free Self Defense & De-Escalation Training

Received this in my email. Sounds interesting/ needed given the city we live in, I wanted to share for folks who may be interested and live close by! Hoping to meet folks from the neighborhood who’re interested to make some local like-minded friends. Happy weekend

Lost phone in uber, now in Williamsburg

I left my phone in an uber last night, and another passenger took it. I'm tracking it on find my iphone and can see that it's on S 8th street b/t Driggs and Roebling. I have minimal hope that I'll get it back but thought I'd post in case someone is trying to get in touch. Miracles happen!

Recommendation on where to donate clothes?

I have a winter coat and some shoes I'd like to donate - hoping there is somewhere near Grand Ave/Bushwick Ave so I don't have to carry it too far.
