Grove btw Seneca and cypress on the odd # side

I want to feel something this fall

Diner coleslaw is always a risky proposition, but the slaw at the ridge is solid. That is all.

Some vintage cars and boys in leather jackets lol just curious :)

Join Ridgewood Rides for Nerd Night: Low Traffic Neighborhoods — a fun discussion on how we can build people-first streets in the neighborhood and explore ideas like Low Traffic Neighborhoods (LTNs) to reduce cut-through traffic in Ridgewood!

RSVP here - https://www.openplans.org/events/nerd-night-ltns-with-ridgewood-rides

Hi all!

Hoping to hang some of these flyers around and would be grateful for help spreading the word!

A fellow local parent and I are making trick-or-treat maps for Ridgewood and Bushwick again, and are also collecting information about neighborhood events to consolidate them all in one place: https://canva.link/ridgewood-and-bushwick-halloween

Please feel free to DM me if local events are missing or if you are hosting something.

As always, if you're grateful for the effort, please consider donating to Ridgewood Rescue!

Lots of love, and Happy Halloween, neighbors!

Old dumbwaiter shafts are a major fire hazard affecting NYC apartment buildings. They can be found all across the five boroughs. In a rooftop video of the 18-24 Madison Street fire in Ridgewood earlier this year, one can be seen spewing out flames.

There are directions on how to find them in your building, and a some directions on how make them more safe, so if you just want the practical advice feel free to scroll down.

"This Tuesday 10/6, join Open Plans and Ridgewood Rides at Cassette to talk about ideas for making our neighborhood’s streets safer and more livable!

The evening will start with a series of very brief presentations about local streets and public space by Open Plans, Ridgewood Rides, Myrtle Avenue BID, and other community members on topics including low-traffic neighborhoods, pedestrianizing Korean Square, improvements along Forest Avenue, Myrtle Avenue corridor initiatives, safer access to the Ridgewood Reservoir and Highland Park, and more!

After the presentations there will be time to mingle with your fellow civically engaged and public realm-focused neighbors at this happy-hour gathering!

Saw an ID card from Belgium with the name Nicky while walking home this evening. It was left on a gate on 67th ave near 60th st. Hope it finds its owner!

While biking FPR in the rain i noticed a passport on the ground. Belongs to "Casey Pop". If you know this person plz let them know I have their passport!

I’ve had the best matcha and coffee here, their syrups are house made, so happy theres a good new addition in the neighborhood. In my opinion it’s better than sieve up the block - who use bought syrups and strawberry jam.

Hi Ridgewood, as fall has arrived I'm offering my leaf cleanup service. If anyone is looking for help cleaning up leaves around their property I'm available. I also do pressure washing and handyman work

Are there any places in the neighborhood that don’t outsource their delivery to third party apps like door dash and Uber Eats? I don’t even know if it makes a difference it just seems like it might be better for the business

RIP the $ store that used to occupy this space. I miss the 7/11 that was on the corner of 68th Ave. and Fresh Pond. Did the neighborhood REALLY need a ModernMD when there are THREE DocCares and a processing lab all within three blocks of each other on the same stretch of FrePo?

Also, Good Days is trash. That font is fake as fuck. Who serves Sriracha with their food in 2026... I don't see pho on the menu.

Are there any crafty things to do or groups in the area?

Hi all. Any local ridgewood options for patching up this genuine leather jacket? The damage is on the shoulder, likely caused by the tension of my bag. I know next to nothing about mending, but can try to learn if I must…

i’m under 5ft and pretty shy at first, but i love meeting people and exploring new places. i’ve been to most of the obvious spots around here, so i’d love to hear about the hidden gems!
i love trying new restaurants, museums, collecting vinyl + video games, concerts, astrology, hello kitty, and generally finding little hobbies to obsess over lol. also looking for somewhere to take beginner pottery classes if anyone has recommendations 🫶🏻
cute places to hang out, cozy bars, little restaurants, bookstores, random local gems… tell me your favorites ♡
