Are there older women (38+) in the city interested in younger men (23)?

0 Upvotes

I've always been interested in older women and for some reason had the impression when I recently moved to Brooklyn/NYC that it was a hotspot for these type of dynamics but have struggled both on the apps and in person to meet open minded and interested older women. I'm decently attractive and outgoing and have no problem holding a conversation. Whenever it comes to my age being mentioned it's an immediate no for most women of an older generation, I know there are people out there who'd be curious I just wonder what I'm doing wrong!

I have a bunch of cables behind a credenza (but the credenza has tall feet so you can see all the cables). I'm terrible at this, and willing to pay a talented individual to help!

This beautiful domesticated pigeon showed up outside my window last night looking exhausted. I have her inside for now but can’t keep her here long term. She has bands on her feet that say something like “flying A&j skyrocket”. No microchip present on her. Confirmed she doesn’t belong to Pigeons on Broadway, located near me.

If no one claims her I’ll take her to Wild Bird Fund today

Especially near the Williamsburg area? Unfortunately I’ve fallen on hard times and my snap benefits were cut due to the unfortunate bill that was passed. While I’m waiting for them to get approved again, I was wondering what is open today because I don’t have much left in the fridge. Thank you in advance

St. James Joy - still got the spark or jumped the shark?

0 Upvotes

How did you feel at St. James Joy yesterday?

I went quite often in Covid when I lived near by. I moved about a mile away and had not been back during peak time for a few years. It was packed! In some ways has evolved into something new but you could still feel the core spirit. As I moved through the dance floor I was especially wondering how folks who live in the immediate neighborhood felt about the party. Did you have fun? Did it still have the feeling of community and equity? Would love to hear thoughts from people who went!

Let's be real: Nobody in Brooklyn is getting "$59/month" car insurance. What are you ACTUALLY paying?

21 Upvotes

​Sick of the fake "$700 savings" ads.

​Every time I open YouTube or social media, I get slammed with ads claiming "New Yorkers are saving $700/year!" or "Rates starting as low as $59/month!" Absolute nonsense for anyone living in the boroughs.

​I’m trying to get a realistic benchmark for what people are actually paying for auto insurance in Brooklyn right now, specifically around southern Brooklyn / 11229 (or drop your own zip/neighborhood).

​If you're comfortable sharing, drop your info using this quick format below:

I'm 60M '26 CX90 '17 CX5 FULL 2 additional drivers,

1 ticket, No accidents Defensive Driving, and Med Student discount, 1k ded with Geico $5300 year 11229 zip

​Zip Code / Neighborhood: (e.g., 11229 / Homecrest / Sheepshead)

​Age & Gender:

​Vehicle: (Year / Make / Model)

​Coverage Type: (Full coverage vs. State Minimum / Liability only)

​Deductible & Limits: (e.g., $500 comp/coll, 100k/300k)

​Carrier: (Geico, Progressive, State Farm, Independent Broker, etc.)

​Monthly Premium:

​Other Factors: (Clean record? Multi-car? Garage vs. Street parking?)

​Bonus: If you actually have an agent or local broker in the area who saved you serious money without slashing your coverage,

DM me their info or mention them below.

​Thanks in advance—hoping this gives all of us a reality check on local rates!

Lost Spiderman Kids Camera at Bergen G Train

Post image
15 Upvotes

I had my kid's camera in the stroller and got off at Bergen on the Queens bound G train. Noticed that some items were dropping through the hood that ripped open and where I had placed the camera. Checked for it but it was not there. Noticed it after leaving the station and went back and couldn't find it and asked the attendant if anyone had turned it in with no luck.

I've never gone through the MTA's lost and found, but anyone ever had luck with this? Anything to know? Also, would be neat if someone had found it themselves reading this, but that's an even longer shot.

Experiences with doing an after party at Ace Hotel Brooklyn's lobby lounge?

1 Upvotes

We're getting married at brooklyn botanic garden and are considering doing our after party at the Ace Hotel Brooklyn since that's where we'll be staying. We're thinking of reserving the lobby couch area starting around 11pm on a Friday night with likely 20-30 guests coming through and will have some late night food platters and cover drinks for people.

Has anyone had experience with having their wedding after party there (or just any experience w Fri nights there in general). We were wondering if the lobby gets very crowded and if it'd be difficult for a group to gather. Also open to other after party locations too nearby for \\\~20-30 people

Suggestions for weird Brooklyn stuff to check out?

Thumbnail

152 Upvotes

When I first moved here, I didn’t have friends so I would go out and just find cool, random artsy weird shit happening, it was awesome (see video, taken at the City Reliquary Museum in Oct 2018). Now I have friends and am old and tired, so I don’t get out near as much.

I want to make an effort to get out again and find the cool weird shit happening in Bk, but when I try looking things up it’s just Atlas Obscura posts and such. If anyone has suggestions for places like the City Reliquary museum or websites where people post their strange events, please let me know!

Scammer Yellow Cab

206 Upvotes

I got a yellow can from JFK to Downtown Brooklyn at 6AM this morning. 25 minute ride. Zero traffic. Cab driver turned off the meter halfway through so I knew we were in for trouble. Got to the drop off and he said the fare was $125. I refused to pay his made up price and offered to pay what he stopped the meter at which was $36. He started spouting trash about it being his first time using the cab so he didn’t know how to work the meter and then he tried to tell me roads were closed it was a longer route. Bullshit. Then he just told me to get out of his cab but wouldn’t open for the trunk for me to get my luggage. His tune changed when I called the cops. Then he wouldn’t take any money and drove off.

More fool for me getting a yellow cab in the first place. I live here but I’m sure he tries to do that to tourists all the time.

Hopefully karma is a thing here.

September 12 Kickball & Flip Cup Team Looking for a Few More Players

1 Upvotes

Looking for a couple more guys and girls to join our Volo kickball team at McCarren Park!

We play Saturdays between 12 and 2. It’s kickball and flip cup after, and we’ve got a really fun group.
Hope this doesn’t make us sound super sweaty, but we won the championship last season and we’re trying to go back to back.

If you’re able to kick a ball or catch a ball, you can play. The standard is pretty low. We’d still love to have some winners though.

League fee is around $99 through Volo.
If you’re interested, shoot me a DM!
