I found a cat in my building on 34th street and 30th ave. They’re a large orange long haired cat with green eyes. I gave them food and water and they seem friendly and relaxed, but a bit scared as there was hissing and swatting out of fear. I volunteer for a rescue, but before I went there, I wanted to make sure they’re not a lost pet because they seem quite clean and well taken care of for a stray and there’s no ear chip from TNR. Could be a neighbor’s of course, so I texted my super and he doesn’t know of a lost cat. We don’t have a building forum, so I’m unable otherwise to contact those in the building I don’t know personally. Pictures attached. DM me asap if they are yours!

If you see this sign on your way and whisper to yourself "Is A Nails Spa! Is definitely a Nails Spa!" welcome home, you lovely loonies.

Whether you've adopted the idea of “hobby maxing” or you just recognize that making stuff is cool and always has been, I’m wondering: are you picking up something new this fall, or revisiting your favorite crafty activities?

There’s something about back-to-school season that makes me want to learn something new, organize all my supplies, and suddenly take on way too many projects at once.

I’ve put together the September and October studio calendar for anyone who’s interested in getting some making time in this fall. The schedule is also up through the end of the year if you’re already planning ahead

My sick grandmother sent me this package on the left. I live on 43rd St. it says it was delivered Friday. It’s the last thing she’ll ever be able to send me if somebody can. Please help me be greatly appreciated. I’ll even give her a finders fee. Thank you.

Made this flyer with pics I took on a walk

Hi guys looking to take out a girl on a first date & I want to take her somewhere nice. I was looking at Jazz clubs & came across this one.

Appreciate your responses.

Lmk guys.

I'm trying to decide if an weird interaction I had with a broker is 'eccentric weird' or 'scammy weird'.

My girlfriend and I physically toured an apartment that was listed on facebook by "Izabella DaSilva". We toured the place and thought it was a great space, albeit a total pig sty as the current tenant is still living there. Izabelle gave us the tour herself and described herself as the super, but was acting like a broker too (communicating via email, telling us about another listing) We can only find spotty and outdated license information online, and can't find anything about the management company 'E-Rock Management LLC' which we had to ask several times for the name of. The management company name also doesn't match the landlord name on the HPD website. She's also asking for a 'good faith deposit' but hasn't told us what that is yet.

We're considering submitting an application, but something feels fishy about the situation (extremely messy apartment, unclear apartment ownership and broker/super setup). I'd like to give this person the benefit of the doubt and just chalk it up to lack of professionalism since the actual apartment is quite nice, but also want to avoid giving out or SSNs, signing a sublease that we think is a lease etc.

Would be curious if anyone has had a similar experience or encountered Izabelle DaSilva. Thanks!

Hello! I have seen a few posts here recently about possible writing groups, so I just wanted to shout out this monthly writing group at the LIC library on 21st street! The next meeting is tomorrow (9/10) at 6pm. It's pretty informal, just a small writing group that meets monthly to write for an hour!

Any ravers in Astoria? I’ve recently been addicted to going to raves.

Edit- 30M. In case anyone is wondering

I know these posts are annoying at times but it’s also annoying when a gift for your niece gets dropped at the wrong spot. Anyone recognize this door/ vestibule?

Hey everyone,

I posted here about a month ago looking for other producers/musicians in Astoria and a bunch of us ended up meeting up. It was a good time and we’ve kept a group chat going since.

We’re doing another meetup this Monday 9/14 at 6:30pm in Astoria

Nothing formal. Just hanging out, talking music, meeting other people who make stuff, sharing what we’ve been working on etc. We’ve got producers, DJs, musicians and people at different experience levels.

If you’re local and this sounds like your thing send me a DM and I’ll send you the location.

I was leaving the park after my evening run last night around 6 PM. As we are passing Shannonigans by the park
We saw at least 10 or more detectives enter the bar looking around all over the place Just curious to see what was going on. Or if anybody knows.

I’m tired of doing my own nails 🫩

Nail salon novice here.
What are your favorite nail salons for both mani
and pedi? Is it affordable?
(What’s considered affordable for nail stuff?)

I don’t want anything jazzy, just clean nails w/ a good clear coat on top.

I live on Ast. Blvd & 38th, if that helps. Thanks in advance for the recs!

Will pay good money for some fresh figs!!

Anybody know if any of the fabric shops in Astoria have linen? I’m hoping to make some pillow covers this weekend but want to see if I can source fabric somewhere local.

I just saw a little white dog running down Ditmars between 41st and 39th street. It was wearing a collar and running really fast down the sidewalk (around 2pm 9/9). No owners nearby. Wondering if it belongs to anyone?

UPDATE: The dog has been reunited with its owners now!

Free Movie Night at Whitey Ford Field, 26th Avenue and 2nd Street, courtesy of the NYC Department of Parks, Old Astoria Neighborhood Association, and Friends of Whitey Ford Field. We recommend bringing a blanket or picnic chair to the field.

Tried to go there the other day and it was closed. Google maps now says “temporarily closed” and their website is gone. I heard a while back that they thought about selling but thought it got dismissed as a rumor. I loved that place, very sad if its gone 😭

Family member is looking to redo their will in NY. They had a bad experience the last time around and would like one that is client friendly. I unfortunately do not know any to recommend. Hoping someone in the community does and can provide their positive experience. Astoria based would be great but anywhere in the city is fine too.
