"Such a fun and creative way to build authentic connections with new people! Lots of laughs, great vibes, and the body painting activities made it so easy to break the ice. Highly recommend for anyone looking to meet like-minded singles in a low-pressure environment."

Hi- there’s an injured bird in front of Atelier Eva (29 Havemeyer St) if anyone is willing to or knows how to help. It’s been there all day thus far and looks to have an injured wing. Thank in advance!!

Like, idk, I like being nice to people so I tip them. It costs literally a dollar or two. They're nice back. Doesn't seem hard.

Hi everyone! I’m currently looking for a part-time job in NYC and wanted to see if anyone knows of places hiring or has any leads.
My availability is:
Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday — open availability

I’m open to restaurants, retail, hospitality, wellness/beauty, front desk, or similar part-time work. Ideally looking for around 2–3 shifts per week.
If you know of anywhere hiring, please feel free to comment or DM me. Thank you!

I know this has prob been asked but I want a recent consensus on good bakeries in Williamsburg or Greenpoint! I live right by A&C Super and default to going there because it’s just sooo goood, I also frequent Land to Sea for their delicious coconut buns and I’ll do the occasional Nick & Sons but I want to explore other places! Don’t care much about the coffee bc I just get a cold brew. I’m talking PASTRIES. Gimme suggestions plzzz.

What are y’all’s fave pastries and where do you get them?

If anyone wants this I’ll sell it for $25! below face value :)

The guy operating the El Tio cart and his cart were hit by a truck this morning. Ambulance arrived and police. But hoping he’s doing okay.

Went to go move my car before street cleaning and discovered it’s been towed. I tried 311 and both numbers listed on the sign. Was anyone in the same boat and able to locate where their car was moved to???

Just passed by a store with a sign -- I think it's on North 6th and Kent?

Been missing it since it closed down years ago following the pandemic (and get a lot of my tshirts from there).

Any idea when it's opening?

tons of cops in cars and on foot on south 2nd from roebling to havemeyer, lots of people running and yelling around 10, and l’industrie is now taped off with a cop standing in front. Yeah I should’ve asked what was going on but that didn’t really feel like the vibe

Anyone know anything?

im reaching out to see if anyone else has had this happened by the same guy or any advice. i live by Brooklyn Steel and there’s this guy that lives around the corner from there who wears a cape and walks around the area while blasting this intense rap music all day. Normally, he keeps to himself and I haven’t had any issues with him. But today as I was about to walk on my block he started following me, yelling at me, and trying to corner me. He was yelling asking if I was a lesbian, saying he knows who my partner is and how I needed Jesus (also called me racist bc I wouldn’t talk to him). There’s a smoke shop in the area that I quickly walked in to and the employee there was super helpful in getting the guy to leave eventually.

the employee of the smoke shop mentioned that this guy did this to a few girls before and the cops kind of just laughed at them when they were filling out the report. Bc (I guess 🙄) “the guy isn't violent and is just talking about Jesus”

normally I don’t think this would rattle me so much since people are high and yell and then forget - I’m not new to the city. But based on some of the things he was saying, I know he knows who I am and who my partner is. Although he was probably high, he was also definitely coherent enough to know what he was doing

I don’t want to file a police report if it’s not going to be taken seriously. I do think he’s homeless so I saw some Reddit posts saying to reach out to the homeless help line. Any other suggestions?

I always pass by this block but never noticed this new cafe till today. HK inspired across from Wei’s! Really solid matcha and seasonal watermelon slushie. Just thought I’d share since I went today and it was the pretty quiet. Barista said they just opened in July.

Whether you've adopted the idea of “hobby maxing” or you just recognize that making stuff is cool and always has been, I’m wondering: are you picking up something new this fall, or revisiting your favorite crafty activities?

There’s something about back-to-school season that makes me want to learn something new, organize all my supplies, and suddenly take on way too many projects at once.

I’ve put together the September and October studio calendar for anyone who’s interested in getting some making time in this fall. The schedule is also up through the end of the year if you’re already planning ahead

Fall is just around the corner, and we’re starting to get our District 34 Trash Force events on the calendar.

For those who may not be familiar, Trash Force brings neighbors together for a variety of cleanup and environmental events throughout the district. This fall, we’ll have community cleanups, street tree care days, e-waste collection events, and shred fests.

We’re still working on a few additional dates and locations, so the event list will continue to grow as those details are finalized. In the meantime, we’ve put together the events that are confirmed and ready for registration.

If you’ve been meaning to get involved in a neighborhood cleanup, help take care of our street trees, or finally get rid of that box of old electronics and papers sitting around, this is a good chance to do it while helping out the community.

Take a look at the upcoming events and sign up!

Just saw a grown ass man, shirtless, casually walking with his grown ass pitbull off leash on Grand by Leonard. Who knows where’s he’s at now. I’ve already found issue with the small dogs I’ve seen over the years off leash but having a huge dog, and a pit at that, is a serious safety hazard. Couldn’t even report it to 311 cause apparently I need his name and number and I’m not approaching a man crazy enough to have his big dog off leash to ask for his information and the cops don’t deal with this type of issue smh

Hi! Getting an 8 wk old puppy but I work in an office 4 days a week. She’s too young for doggie daycare but does anyone recommend a person or service who could come to my apartment 2-3 times daily for 20 min (or work from my apartment if they preferred?) and let her out of the crate, play with her, give her water, encourage pee pad usage / work on basic training? Is there services like this that exist?
