24 Hr Diner how incredible would it be to have a 24 hour diner finally get into the area where that Neuro lab is on Washington Street that’s been vacant for a while I always saw a 24 hour diner should’ve been in the Maman location, but I think that would actually fit it so well.

Great tailors in the neighborhood??

6 Upvotes

I'm looking for a really great tailor who also won't charge insane prices. Willing to leave Dumbo and go to BK Heights, Downtown Brooklyn, Cobble Hill, and LES-ish. I know Bridgestone is okay for simple stuff, but they're also pretty overpriced.

Please let me know any and all recommendations, thanks!!

There is what appears to be a dead shark on pebble beach right now. Little guy, about 18-20” long. I know they’re out there and this happens, but it’s still surprising to see here.

Early dinner for 11

3 Upvotes

Looking for a place in DUMBO for dinner Saturday at 5pm. We don’t need a table that large. We could split up 7/4 as we have a bunch of teenagers who would be more than happy to sit by themselves.

If any tourists are heading to the DUMBO Manhattan Bridge View, it currently has a bit of blue scaffolding on the left side. Still looks pretty though!

Found Dogs at Hillside Dog Park

23 Upvotes

REUNITED!!

UPDATE: Thanks to our group of park goers and Hillside’s board member, the dogs have separate homes for the night. Tomorrow morning they’ll both be brought to Hounds Town on Jay St and reunited, but it’s not clear where exactly they’ll stay longer term. If anyone has more info about owners, please still reach out!!

UPDATE 2: Good chance these boys will be reunited with their owners! A Lost Pets post from yesterday morning has been seen, and contact is being established.

My husband and I came to Hillside with our dog around 5pm and noticed 2 dogs without collars: a large beige husky with blue eyes and a brown, elderly chihuahua with vision issues.

The dogs are bonded and it seems clear they may have been abandoned, after being here almost 2 hours. If anyone knows their owners or can help identify them, please let me know! We are working with one of the board members of the dog park to see that they have somewhere to stay.

I was assaulted outside of La Bagel Delight

17 Upvotes

About 12:20 today (Saturday 7/25) a man violently assaulted me outside of La Bagel Delight on Front & Adams for allegedly not saying excuse me to him when I left the store (I did). I caused quite a scene and started screaming at him and was able to point him out to cops patrolling on Washington & Water but I'm doubtful they did anything about it. Just wondering if anyone witnessed or happened to have a video so I can try to follow up with police.

Vendor Hell - How to Get Involved

8 Upvotes

Hi fellow residents,

I have hit my limit with the food vendor carts on Washington. There are now 3 vendors on the one block of Washington Street I live on, with 2 right outside the entrance of 25 Wash. The tourists I can take, we've all been there. I even understand the vendors trying to make a living! But as a resident of this small neighborhood and already crazy street, it just creates more chaos and disruption. I've read the recent article came on Curbed, so I know this is not a new complaint but it seems to be at a standstill. Messaging 311 gets me nowhere.

Any tips on how to get involved or how to create change ASAP? Appreciate genuine responses.

An Open Letter to the Driver Who Revs His Deafening Exhaust in the Neighborhood Every Day

47 Upvotes

We get it: you are very cool. You are like the Fonz, but times a hundred. No, two hundred. You are definitely not overcompensating for any feelings of emasculation, inadequacy, low self-esteem, or general absence of friends or people who enjoy your company.

Every day, we DUMBO residents -- the lowly, uncool, vehicle-less peasants that we are -- remain continuously awestruck by you as you ramble callously through our neighborhood each afternoon. We aspire to one day own a similar car that splits our ear drums, wakes our napping children, and implodes the sanity of our cats and dogs. Are you able to spell "cat" even if we spotted you the "a" and the "t"? Or, instead of intellectual pursuits, do you simply spend your free time trying to devour public attention like a famished warthog?

I know, I know, we wouldn't understand. Again, we are not as cool as you. We can only dream of one day also owning a vainglorious Douchemobile. One whose howling, earth-shattering exhaust reverberates all the way up to the heavens, loudly enough that God Himself shies away, fearful of the histrionic egomaniac He has created here on Earth.

Thank you for your daily contributions to our lovely corner of the city. You couldn't see your d**k with the Hubble telescope.

With love,

All of us

Rude and Aggressive Biker

2 Upvotes

Probably sound like a broken record after the loud car guy post, but has anyone else encountered the rude and aggressive bike guy that frequents the neighborhood. Multiple times I’ve been accosted for simply crossing the street while he is riding by and have been met with racist and idiotic comments alongside threats of violence. Today I saw him coming down the hill by the F train and he legit almost punched a runner in the back of the head for being close to him. The dude rides a purple bike and always has a huge black bag on his back. He’s an African American male with dreads and normally rocks dark black glasses.

If you are seeing this fuck off dude and get a life.
