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?
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.
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.
Who is the hot waiter at Diner who was in a teletubby costume on Halloween? Anyone know if he’s single and or straight.
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
hey - i lost a bracelet this past weekend. It is very sentimental to me so i'm willing to offer a reward. It's gold with etched roman numerals from 1 to 12 on it.
Please let me know if you have seen it!
Thoroughly love going to Form50 but the membership is extremely expensive. Any other solid alternatives? Prefer a Megaformer
I get ABC and NBC with pretty good signal. CBS isn’t as good but I make do
Chill bars with Halloween decorations to go to tonight? Don’t wanna do something crazy but want to be festive
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.
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!
Any schul recos outside of the Hasidic/orthodox communities?
Pls leave politics out of this.
Looked cleared out when I walked by. Read something about a restaurant…
What are people planning to do Election Night next week? Staying in or going out? Watching results/news at a bar or ignoring everything til later? Dinner with friends with phones off?
Looking for ideas…
Join us at the Brooklyn boardgame meetup tonight at BrookLan in Bushwick starting at 7pm.

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.
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.
What are the best events happening on actual Halloween in Williamsburg?
Dm if it is yours.
I thought it was an AirPod but it’s not so not sure how long the charge will last.
Which door do attendees line up at for an all GA show?
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!
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
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.
Looking to sell one ticket to the rooftop Arlo Williamsburg Halloween party. https://posh.vip/e/as-above-so-below-the-last-haunt-november-1st?t=atfp
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.
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?
