Cafe Valencia

Never been, live super close to it. Never hear anyone talk mention it, including in this sub.

I know I should just check it out (and I will) but is it any good?

What to do about Mikey?

That’s what I think his name is anyway. Grungy, white skulking junkie who has been on/around Graham Ave for years. Usually he doesn’t bother people much but recently he’s been yelling at and threatening people - saying he’s going to “fuck up” people who ignore him when he wants to “ask a question.” He’s been following people too; he followed me down Graham and into Lemon Tree when I tried to get away from him not long ago.

At first, I’ve offered to buy him food. I’ve tried to refer him to resources. He just tells me to fuck off and then asks for money. Initially I felt bad, now I think he’s just an asshole and maybe a dangerous one. I don’t know what the solution is, but the police won’t do shit about him and who knows when he might snap and actually hurt someone. He was getting super aggressive toward trick or treaters tonight.

597 Grand St

I was curious if anyone has been living here or has heard about if it's a nice building or another "luxury" building with tons of issues.

Where can I order affordable pizza for delivery besides dominos?

Dominos is good but they don’t even bring the pizza upstairs. Is there anywhere else that deliver pizza on the north and south side. Preferably places that have classic toppings like pepperoni and sausage pizza. Want to try something different from dominos

Best Reformer Pilates Studios in Williamsburg Greenpoint

Thoroughly love going to Form50 but the membership is extremely expensive. Any other solid alternatives? Prefer a Megaformer

No more slammed doors for the love of all that's good in the world! (lol but seriously)

Does anyone else suffer from neighbors that when they shut their door it sounds like they are taking out all their life frustration on it, but they aren't...they're just that absent-minded?

I tired to just live with it at first but it's been like 9 months and it literally shakes my walls every single time, and when it's the middle of the night it jumpscares me and my dog awake. I feel like I should've said something when she moved in and now it's been too long...

EDIT:
I think beyond this being a vent sess, let this be your sign, are you that horrible neighbor?
Do you slam your front door like a teenager who didn't get their way?
Are you stomping on your floor at 1 am learning that new tiktok dance?

Be the change you want to see in the world people! lol A little mindfulness goes a long way.

Reliable laundry service for wash & fold

Hey all,

For those who do drop off wash & fold, where are you going, especially those on South Side?

I used to go to 52 Cleaners on Broadway until they became the most unreliable and absurd place on the planet, taking literally like a month to return clothes to people. I seriously think there's some kind of scam where they steal your clothes and sell them or something of the sort, but I digress.

I need a new place, but pretty much all the local ones seem to have bad reviews online.

I have no special needs in terms of fancy clothes. Just basic stuff. Don't make me wash them myself like a savage!

Not looking for a non-alcoholic only spot, just something with a few options. Mocktails, NA beers, etc.

Thanks!

Pedestrian Traffic Signal at Kent and N 14th removed again

For the second time in the past year or so, the pedestrian traffic signal has been removed on the Southeastern corner of Kent and North 14th Street.

https://preview.redd.it/no30ns0siwxd1.jpg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97311cc044d6199d153bc3ae898b05b618e1ab56

Does anybody have any idea why this is happening? It happened last year too and it took more than a month before it was replaced. It's pretty dangerous because it is not clear when pedestrians are supposed to cross and vehicles take that turn at higher speeds than most corners due to the angle.

I have reported this to 311 already.

Part-time jobs

I’m an international student living in Long Island city/greenpoint. I’m looking for any part-time jobs around Long Island City and Brooklyn or online I can do for cash as extra income while I’m a student.

I have 5 years of experience in marketing / operations management / event planning and F&B. I’ve also done dog sitting, dog boarding and baby sitting. Any leads would be welcome! Thank you!

Fake no parking signs on Wythe?

Pretty sure these are just put up by Jane Motorcycles when they want to have their random street rallies. Cars that stay parked are never towed or ticketed and you know the NYPD would be trying to cash in

To the driver who called me a gook

while I had the signal and was crossing the area in the space between the stop line and the crosswalk

Learn how to fucking drive and stop acting like you were raised in a barn.

Electric guitar

Who the F has been playing the electric guitar around grand st/leonard for the past hour? Is it coming from a bar? Car? I can’t find the source and going bonkers. Need to channel my rage in a specific direction.

Fav places to go dancing Tues-Th?

Looking for recommendations on places to go dancing in Williamsburg (or nearby) for my birthday on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday night. I’ve enjoyed La Milagrosa before, but I’m not sure if they’re open on weekdays. Any other spots with a similar vibe?
