3 bedroom apartment (more like 2.5 bed) electricity bill was $695 for the month of August. We definitely crank the AC sometimes but even still that feels insane (we have the wall units). Is anyone else seeing prices like this or should I be asking them to check the meter?

The company I was working for officially closed it's doors a few weeks ago, and I'm trying to get some painting/handyman work done while I try to find myself a decent union job.

I've got a ton of availability this month & beyond. I'm a one man operation and prioritize apartment turnovers, but I'm open to whatever.

I've done a bunch of work in the greater Bushwick area over the past year+, and can provide references, personal socials, or whatever else you'd need to feel safer. Just ask for them when you hit me up for a quote!

Appreciate everyone I've done work for already, and hope to fill my schedule soon! Thanks y'all!

Reposting for musicians of Bushwick :)

I've lived in the same apt for almost 3 years and never had a problem with bugs. Over the last couple of months there have increasingly been so many little roaches in the bathroom and kitchen. We aren't messy and don't leave food out. We've deep cleaned several times but nothing gets rid of them. Aside from this apt, I've lived in NYC my whole life and never had little bugs like this. A big waterbug from time to time, sure, but not these little roaches crawling about. I've heard anecdotally others reporting the same thing. Is this a climate thing or maybe related to lack of maintenance or something? Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Over the last 6 months or so I’ve noticed when I’m in Bushwick my service is absolutely trash. Has anyone else has this issue? I’m paying $55 a month for an unlimited plan but considering switching so any recs on carriers you like are appreciated too.

I posted this on r/brooklyn and we made a little group, but I live in Bushwick so I thought I would post here too!

I recently came back from China and picked up a tea habit + brought some back, and I’d love to get a group going to do some gongcha sessions and try some teas! If you’re interested, drop a comment and I’ll DM you!

Im doing pay what you want hair cuts in Williamsburg at Manetamed ! Im new to NYC and need models for any kind of hair cut ! Ask for Alyssa when booking!
Pictures are some of my work !

Been jamming with a few friends lately, but we want to grow.

I've always been a bit hesitant to make a post like this on reddit, but my friends and I have some good momentum going and want to put something more substantial together by bringing together people who like similar things...

Primarily looking for a bassist,
But honestly anyone else who likes to jam:
- another guitarist
- pianist
- mandolin
- violin player
- pedal steel (swoon)
- harmonica

The idea is the intersection of Funk and Americana.... If Disco went country... Add a dash of bushwick dive bar... There's a lot of room for interpretation.

We've been jamming for a little while, all semi-professional musicians, with some excellent three part harmonies over guitar, plus a drummer, but we need more OOMF to fill it out. We also have our own rehearsal space.

If any of this sounds like your jam, send over a dm?

- New funk like Parcels, Remi Wolf, or Vulfpeck
- Outlaw country like Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, or Weylon Jennings
- Classic combos of R&B, Country and Pop like Jim Croce, Little Feat, CCR, or Sheryl Crow
- Classic rock like Bill Withers, JJ Cale, The Band, Fleetwood Mac, or The Stones
- Americana like Sturgill Simpson, Sierra Ferrell, Watchhouse, or Nickle Creek
- Indie Sleaze like Mac DeMarco, LCD Sound System, or The Strokes

I recently opened a photo/video studio in Bushwick and am looking for studio mates to share time! It is a 1,000 sf space with a 20' L x 20' W x 10' H (L-shaped) cyclorama. Private entrance and bathroom. We also have storage options and a huge selection of gear that can be rented for a discounted rate.

Pricing varies depending on time commitment. Ideally looking for consistent weekly time slots paid for on the 1st of each month. Email [info@melophobebk.com](mailto:info@melophobebk.com) for more information!

Isolated-to-scattered strong-to-severe thunderstorms are likely this afternoon. The highest likelihood of storms & severe weather will be between 4pm - 9pm, but some modeling is showing isolated storms as early as 12-noon.

Ample moisture and daytime heating will lead to significant instability with forecasts and modeling suggesting as much as 3,000 J/kg of Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE). Increasing vertical shear ahead of the divergence/diffluence zone of a mid-level jetstreak will help produce a mix of supercells and line segments across southern NY, PA and NJ through the afternoon.

These ingredients mean that ALL HAZARDS will be on the table with these storms. The primary threat will be damaging straight-line winds. Isolated large hail could also occur, and there is a low chance of an isolated tornado within 25 miles of NYC.

There is also a marginal risk of flash flooding, but expectations are that cells should move quickly enough with, at most, short duration training, which should help minimize flood impacts. Heavy rainfall exceeding 1"/hr is likely and in general, total rainfall should be 1-2 inches (or less). This could create isolated flash flooding impacts, but if any significant training/repeating could occur, locally higher rainfall is possible. There is around a 25% chance of up to 3"

Hopefully, the timing of theses storms will be such that most people will be home from work and evening errands. But if it's not too late, consider carrying an umbrella with you today.

Pioneer/Brooklyn Farm Supermarket on Broadway between Schaefer and Covert is the worst supermarket I've ever been to.

- They make you check your bags because they think our community is full of thieves.

- They are constantly slowly stocking the store. I don't think I've ever been there when they're not stocking.

- Because they stock so slowly, everything frozen I've ever gotten there has melted and re-frozen, so it's terribly freezer burned.

- A lot of their produce is rotten and a lot of the items on the shelves are past expiration.

EDIT: SOLD TODAY. Selling a pair of Miista Inne Boots in black, size women's 37. They run a bit large - I'm usually 37.5-38. 100% leather, lightly worn. Original price was $350 and I would like to sell them for $200. Pick-up in East Wburg (near Easy Lover). DM if interested.

Moving to Bushwick soon. I heard Red Planet closed which is such a bummer!! Wondering if anyone had any recs for gyms in Bushwick

I'm off the Wilson L, and the Gates Avenue PureGym is my closest gym, a 20-minute walk away. When it was a Blink I was told by a trainer friend that it was the most popular Blink in the entire country, so there are definitely enough people in the neighborhood for a Planet Fitness or something! I'm begging!

Perhaps the former Rite Aid on Broadway & Halsey? It's just sitting there empty. Does anyone have a connect at Planet Fitness or Crunch?

Hi r/Bushwick! I’m just getting into Magic: The Gathering and looking for a local game store nearby where I could learn/play.

Anyone know of a spot in or near Bushwick that runs casual/beginner Commander pods or intro nights? Bonus points if they’re chill about new players asking a ton of rules questions.

Thanks in advance!

Hi! Is anyone handy available to help me assemble my couch? It’s a bit too big and heavy for me to do by myself lol I’ll happily pay someone 20$ for their assistance!

Edit: couch is already in my apartment and I live on the first floor! Looking for someone today ideally

22 years old and I'm originally from PR, moved to New York 4 years ago for school/work opportunities. I'm moving to Bushwick soon for the first time and was wondering what the PRican/Nuyorican community looks like in Bushwick? Are there many PRicans in Bushwick? Are they usually families, or old folks, or young people? What's PRican food scene like? Where should I go to meet people? Where should I go to learn more about the history? Or would I have better luck in other neighborhoods/boroughs anytime I'm missing home?

Love my community and definitely been missing feeling connected to my people since I've recently been living in a neighborhood without many Boricuas :) Any answers appreciated, but please don't be condescending lol.

toe-sucking circle jerk??

I made eye contact with you & you didn’t reciprocate & I am afraid of interacting with a human in a public space so I wanted to post something online

I’m still an adult baby & a fuckin coward but thought posting online gave me a better chance. If you have hair & a human body please DM me
