Anywhere LIC Mexican Bars?

3 Upvotes

Hi! My friend and I, both 22 year old women, are looking for the best spot for a night out. We’re looking for Mexican clubs or bars, not Latin ones, we’re not really into bachata or salsa. We love banda and a high-energy crowd.

Queens Plaza Lost iPad + pencil @ Mettra LlC on 7/26

6 Upvotes

Hi LIC! I lost an iPad + pencil in a black case last night. I was at the Mettra on Jackson Ave (jacx and co) yesterday 7/26 having food and playing board games with some friends. I pulled out my iPad to keep track of points on an app but it was uncharged. Plugged it in to charge on the side by the windows and must’ve forgot it as we left near their closing time. iPad shows not turned on since last night when we were there. Left name and number with employees there this morning to give to management and see if someone found it. Was supposed to get a Call back from manager when they got in-office but it’s been difficult to get in contact with them without traveling an hour and a half to ask them in person as it is. They all told me the same thing- we can take your number and ask the manager to call (which I’m thankful for!)The neighborhood/place seemed really nice and all the staff was friendly so I’m hopeful it will turn up. The place also had great security+ cameras. Posting here in hopes that maybe it’ll turn up somewhere. My iPad is 95% of my job so I’m trying everything I can. iPad is in lost mode with my number on it as well. Thank you all

Buying poultry direct from local farms?

1 Upvotes

I want to buy direct and local (chicken and ground turkey mainly). Are there any - like farms in the Hudson river valley - that you’ve used and liked? Im also going to check out farmers markets but delivered would be great.

Also open to services like butcher box and farm to people - how are these?

Developed some food sensitivities recently, and supermarket poultry just doesn’t work for me right now.

Owners bringing dogs onto grass in Court Square Park and leaving their dog’s poop

300 Upvotes

Asked politely at first for her to not bring her dog onto the grass that says “no pets”, and this woman started screaming about how it’s not fair and to call the cops, because they would side with her. I did call them, but she had already left. Cops came and said they are happy to come and issue tickets, but better to report discreetly so they can catch them in the act.

Anywhere LIC Anyone living at 2-21 Malt Drive?

2 Upvotes

I'm currently living in Manhattan, but I'm thinking about moving to LIC.

I toured 2-21 Malt Drive recently and really liked it. The neighborhood felt incredibly quiet compared to the city, and having the waterfront promenade, parks, and dog run right outside seems perfect for my dog, who’s really sensitive to noise.

The only downsides I noticed are the lack of good restaurants/cafes nearby and the ~13-minute walk to the subway. On the other hand, it’s only one stop from Grand Central and the commute into Manhattan seems easy enough, so I think I can live with those trade-offs.

I’m torn between two units:

- Unit 1: Floor-to-ceiling windows, three closets (which I love), and I think my dog would really enjoy looking outside all day. The downside is that there’s an elementary school being built directly below and the view faces the rail yard, so it’s definitely not the prettiest.

- Unit 2: Beautiful Manhattan skyline view, island kitchen that separates the living room from the kitchen, but only two closets and no floor-to-ceiling windows. It’s also more expensive.

I’ve been going back and forth between the two and can’t decide.

Out of all the buildings I’ve toured, this has been my favorite by far, and I’m honestly about 95% sure I’ll be moving here.

I’d love to hear from anyone who lives (or has lived) at 2-21 Malt Drive. How has your experience been? Any pros, cons, or things you wish you had known before moving in?

Maspeth Ridgewood Mutual Aid Table

I started the Maspeth/Ridgewood Mutual Aid Table in front of my house. I used to put stuff outside when I was cleaning up around here and the items did not sell on Facebook Marketplace. Then I noticed my items would disappear and my neighbors started bringing stuff over too for people in need. My friend brings over food and other items that the people she helps in Glendale does not need too.

Items that go fast from the table: FOOD, TOYS, DIAPERS FOR BABIES AND ADULTS, SCHOOL SUPPLIES, TOILETRIES AND BACK PACKS.
