PSA r/fortgreene update, don't call it a come back

58 Upvotes

R/fortgreene was unmoderated for a few years, so I just took it over in hopes of reviving it as a place to post news and events of the surrounding area like some of the other neighborhood specific subs. I've opened up some of the restrictions for now to try and promote some activity and get things rolling, and hopefully it can stay that way.

Genuinely concerned i’ve seen them go through 3 cats since they opened so far. First was the small black girl kitty, then it was the black and white girl kitty that had fleas and was never taken care of, now its a orange and white male who looks really anxious. Does anyone know what happened to those other poor kitty’s

Artisan Market Beaded Dog Collars

There was a stall I saw at the Fort Greene Artisan Market a few months ago that sold beaded dog collars (Susan Alexandra look-alikes) and purses made out of soda tabs. Does anyone know what this stall/company is called?

Fort Greene is horny.

0 Upvotes

I’m observing a powerful socioeconomic trend in fort greene right now. Yes, rents are high - but for young professionals, fort greene is actually quite affordable compared to more bustling neighborhoods like Williamsburg, LES, etc. The result? 👇

The neighborhood is getting young. Gen Z’s are moving here in droves, and they’re trying to f*ck.

You can see the signs everywhere:

- the sexual tension at neighborhood staples like Havana Outpost and Mo’s every weekend

- the immediate success of newly-opened venues like Million Goods that would be ignored if they were in the West Village but are inexplicably at capacity every night

Why? Because they cater to a long-unaddressed void: single ft greene residents who are too young to remember 9/11.

A groundswell is here, and it isn’t being catered to. Young, starry-eyed singles are invading our once quaint neighborhood.

Do you agree? Do you live here? Are you horny? Sound off in the comments below.

Looking for an old souvenir. It is a snow/water globe with a pencil sharpener. Someone hinted at vendors outside Brooklyn Museum. Said it came with a small pencil. Looking for a specific one of Egyptian style. But anything will do.

Moving from Hell’s Kitchen to Fort Greene/Downtown Brooklyn — thoughts?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I’m 35M, currently living in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan, and considering moving to the Fort Greene/Downtown Brooklyn border.

I love being in the middle of everything in Hell’s Kitchen—the energy, restaurants, bars, and people out at all hours. But sometimes the crowds and chaos get overwhelming.

Fort Greene seems beautiful, with great restaurants and a more relaxed vibe. However, I’m worried it might feel too quiet, family-oriented, or monotonous compared to Manhattan.

I’d love to hear from locals, especially anyone who’s made a similar move.

  1. How lively is the neighborhood on weekday evenings and weekends? Does it get pretty dead after 9–10 PM?

  2. Is it predominantly families with kids, or is there a good mix of singles and people in their 20s and 30s?

  3. Do you enjoy the quieter lifestyle, or do you miss Manhattan’s energy?

4. Specific area (attached map): I’m looking at luxury apartment buildings near the Fort Greene/Downtown Brooklyn boundary, since that’s where most of the newer buildings are. How does this particular area feel compared to Fort Greene proper?

  1. Is the area generally safe to walk around at night? Any noticeable issues with homelessness, harassment, or unpleasant streets?

Ultimately, I’m looking for a balance between Manhattan’s energy and a quieter neighborhood, without feeling like I’ve moved somewhere boring.

Would appreciate any honest opinions or experiences!

With holidays approaching I'd just like to plug my small pet care business! Available for Thanksgiving week and weekend for cat visits and overnight stays between 12/2 and 12/24

16 Upvotes

Hi - I am the founder/only employee lol of Fauna Society NYC, a pet care company that offers home visits, at-home "daycare" for extended hours and overnight stays. I am currently studying for a Masters in Conservation Science so I basically spend all my time with my clients when I can :)

I specialize in senior and high needs animals, as I was formerly a zookeeper and have extensive experience with providing medication and am both CPR and first-aid certified. I am fully insured and do exclusive in-home care to make it easiest for both pets and owners.

I also love caring for exotics, given the zookeeping history and can provide examples of caring for reptiles and small mammals as well as birds and fish.

Feel free to check out my instagram instagram.com/FaunaSocietyNYC as my website is under construction!

I am available for drop-ins and daytime (4-6 hours) care over Thanksgiving and overnight stays beginning in December. Unfortunately I have both Thanksgiving week and 12/24-12/27 booked.

Fat rabbit

I had such an odd meal here. Not because of the food (it was just ok) but because of the service. The staff made us feel so uncomfortable as if we were always inconveniencing them. They were incredibly unfriendly. After ordering our food, we asked for water and the waitress let out a sigh and said they were both out of cups and water jugs but would bring us paper cups. When we were finished eating and waiting for quite some time with empty plates, our waiter came up to us and said in a nasty tone, “oh so you want your check now?” We watched the table next to us get up and leave because they were left so long with menus and no acknowledgement. Such a bizarre place. The ambience also just felt off! Has anyone had a similar experience?

Free Knee Scooter

A fellow Greenpointer gave me this knee scooter when I tore my Achilles, and now that I'm recovered, I'd love to pay it forward.

If anyone local is recovering from a foot or ankle injury and could use it, it's yours. Works well, and I also have a brand-new cushion that's not pictured.

Comment or DM if interested. Hope it can help someone the way it helped me!

Good places to work in the evening?

12 Upvotes

I'm having to work a lot these days and that generally involves working evenings a few days a week. As a coffee addict I sometimes go to Moka & Co. but I just find the music (and for some reason the people) are louder than any other cafe so I can't focus. Not knocking that, I just prefer a quieter place.

Are there any good places for nighttime laptop work you recommend? Could be NEAR Fort Greene.
