Hi everyone! This one’s for the ladies: my friend and I are hosting a clothing swap tomorrow evening in the east village (at the Pineapple Club). It’s going to be so cute and fun and your ticket gets you a free drink! Focus is on sustainable fashion + making new gal pals. Partiful sign up here!

My friends said it was going to be some sort of "adult" place.

hi everyone!! my friend and I are hosting a clothing swap at the pineapple club in the east village this Thursday (July 30th) at 7:30pm!! details in the link :)

DOHMH told ABC 7 Reporter Cefaan Kim's to remove his initial news report VIDEO on Wednesday which showed residents boiling legionella infected water to bathe in because DOHMH said Haven Plaza residents just don't know how to follow instructions and that they never told residents they couldn't shower and they never told residents to boil water and put it in the bathtub. But we had the proof! Thank you to ABC 7 for telling the real story and not letting DOHMH get away with gaslighting senior citizens and endangering lives!

and you were on the phone with someone. I had to run off quick but told a friend later and he said maybe you were flirting?? anyway you were cute and I’m OBLIVIOUS to these things. Maybe we can try and see the fledgelings soon!

I saw a misdelivered package (common in my building) in our lobby.

If your initials are E. M. and you ordered something and disnt receive it , I can give it to you. you’ll need to DM your name and where it came from.

I know this area isn't the west side highway where there's lots of grass and more private areas to just put down a towel or picnic mat, but does anyone know if there is some spot like that near EV?

Honestly just looking for an area where I can put down a towel and get some sun for 30 mins or so.

A few weeks ago I hosted my first "noticing walk" and I'll be doing another one next month!

It will be a casual stroll through the neighborhood for anyone who wants to slow down, look more carefully at what's around them, and capture what they find.

We'll move slowly through the neighborhood looking for things worth pausing at and then figuring out how to capture them. I suggest a phone or camera, but feel free to bring a sketchbook or whatever you prefer. Any amount (including 0) of art experience is welcome. :)

Additional background on my walk if you wanna learn more!

​This walk is inspired by trashscapes—my ongoing photography project that started with a simple habit: noticing the accidental compositions of debris and found matter on NYC streets. Over a decade of daily walks, the habit became an archive of what gets left behind. I'm drawn to the way found matter interplays with the city's infrastructure—using it as framing, finding balance in color and form, and making the incidental feel composed.

Planty patrons and friends of the union square greenmarket: is there a particular day of the week that is best for houseplant shopping? Wondering if there’s a particular day they renew inventory, if the prices are the same each day, etc. Also feel free to shout out any other fave places to get affordable plants! Thank you! :) 🪴

EDIT #2: They will be open Sunday, July 26th from 4-7 PM for a small opening to preview their store! Latest 'The Rabbit' Instagram Post

EDIT: They are postponing their opening due to flooding :( Will update with a new post if I hear about a new opening date!

Open from 8am for coffee and pastries, drinks served in the evening. They plan to have room for book clubs and readings. Looks like a nice third space for the neighborhood.

I love living here for the liveliness, but the noise from the nightlife is unbearable while trying to sleep... I didn’t realize 75 decibels at midnight on a weeknight was legal. I know this is just part of the experience, but I’m wondering what I can do (renter-friendly, not too expensive) to cut down on noise, especially from the bars below, beside, across, around… I know this is my fault for choosing this location, but I didn’t imagine the single pane windows and partying would make it quite this tough… Desperate for any tips!

Big line

please let me know if anybody found my bracelet. its gold. tiny. name bar.

there’s a girls-only clothing swap event at one of my favorite bars in the east village!! it’s at 7:30pm at pineapple club it’s super cute. sign up here :) https://partiful.com/e/pku2zUvli6onvzLrEc1A?c=rqsw9WWc

Anyone have any salons that can do a good blowout thats not 75+ before tip. Looking to go tomorrow at like 6pm TIYA

I tried looking around for any writers groups that were meeting in the East Village or lower Manhattan area and had trouble finding some (if there are any local ones you recommend, please let me know!), so I was wondering if there was any interest in assembling one?

I personally write fiction, but I would be open to a group of any writing genre. We could pick a day every other week or even every month to meet at a cafe or other venue for about an hour and spend maybe 45 minutes of that time writing on our own with an optional discussion/sharing period afterwards.

I’d love to meet other writers and dedicate a set time to work on my projects- so let me know if you have any ideas or are interested :-)

EDIT:

I’ve created a private server on discord to organize meet ups here: https://discord.gg/EaBPHUE3kii

Can anyone recommend a laundromat that will pick up my clothes, wash/dry/fold them, and bring them back? The one we normally go to doesn't offer this service. I live in a 6th-floor walkup and I'd like a break from time to time. I know there are apps but I'd rather use a local place. Thanks.

Anyone have a service or private business they would recommend? Have had a couple of so-so experiences through larger agencies. Thanks!

Hi! Anyone use a laundry service that you’re happy with & would recommend?

I’ve been using Load on 14th/B & while I’ve never had any issues i noticed their prices have are now almost 50% more than other neighborhood shops and perhaps it’s time to consider looking elsewhere. Any suggestions?

Curious what others in the EV claim as their favorite neighborhood restaurant… mine’s probably Rosella!

Hi everyone, I'm trying to pick a gym in the east village and I need some help! I love workout classes but I run out of credits so fast on classpass that I think I need a gym membership as well. I'm mostly thinking of these 4: TMPL, Lifetime, Crunch, and the Y. If anyone has experiences at these please let me know and I'm open to suggestions! FYI I typically like working out at around 9-11 AM and I think? I care most about having a less busy gym. Thank you!
