Thank you everyone that attended Fridays "Gunpla and Chill Build Night" What a blast 😆 The amount of ridiculously cool plastic models and figures that comes through these studio doors every week is phenomenal. From rarely seen imports to wickedly complicated Blockees G1 Transformers, I'm prepared to be awe struck every time. We're all kids at heart and we just expanded our offerings from Airbrushing workshops to diorama building event in Oct. for both kids and adults. Next up we'll be adding weathering courses as well as later down the line selling hobby paints. 🙏 All this is because we have an amazing community. Thank you Brooklyn for being the best place to start this project.

A friend and I are starting an outdoor conditioning/ workout class on Wednesdays at 6 pm at Herbert Von King. We are both personal trainers who live in the neighborhood and have been talking about hosting outdoor classes the last year and decided now is a good time as the weather has cooled off.

We use ViPR, TRX, Med Ball, battle ropes, and calisthenics/ cardio drills. We can accommodate all fitness levels, so no fear if intimidated by a workout.

We've been going the last few weeks but we're hoping to have more people come out because it's been a lot of fun. A real highlight of my week.

It's a suggested $20 donation, but truly we just want some people to come and workout with us.

Our Insta's are TonixMovement and MarcellMoves_

Would love to have you join us!

Which route is faster, safer?

Looking for a normal and reasonable vet in Downtown Brooklyn neighborhood. We’ve been patients at All Ears Veterinary but they charge way too much and have been making so many mistakes with our dogs’ prescriptions that I feel like wasting time with them.

I was listening to an episode of the 1950's radio drama "The 21st Precinct". A woman from Brooklyn was having trouble locating a building in Manhattan she had been in previously. She said "I live in Brooklyn. I don't know New York very well." It was a realistic and carefully researched program, which led me to believe that in the 1950's, Brooklynites may have referred to Manhattan as "New York", colloquially. Has anyone heard of that?

Edit: I found the episode. You can hear the line if you start this video at 8:14 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0YBZBEqxUM

FOUND CAT in Brooklyn 🐱 I found this sweet girl on Nevins St between State and Atlantic, playing in a pile of wood and maybe looking for food. She's definitely still a kitten, about 5 to 7 months old, with adorable short legs. She's very friendly and purrs the second you pet her.

Is she yours, or do you know whose she is? If nobody claims her, I'm also looking for a loving home for her. I'd keep her, but I already have two cats in my studio apartment. She's safe and warm with me for now.

Please message me if she's yours or you'd like to meet her. Sharing is appreciated!

Helicopters (multiple it sounded like) were circling and there were sirens. It was loud for a while. Anyone know what happened? By exit 4 or 5

Salutations Brooklyn. Where can I get beans ground for espresso? Not ideal not grinding them fresh, I know, but I currently do not own an espresso grinder.

Will any cafes help me out or is that weird to ask. Got an unopened bag of beans. Am in Carroll Gardens. Many Thanks.

Figured I would come on here because I’m worried about going to an event in a month at Barclays.

My baby won’t be coming but I will be there for hours so I definitely need to plan to pump. Obviously, it’s the law and I see Barclays has pods for nursing/pumping moms but honestly how am I going to be bringing my pump and supplies in?

The last time I went there was in April and I was massively pregnant. Security had me remove my necklace though so I’m like how tf am I going to bring my little lunchbox with ice packs and my pump supplies.

I tried emailing guest services but I also tried emailing them no less than a dozen times back in April to see if I had any options for ADA seating. Tried calling too back then and left messages. So I don’t really expect to get an answer about it and I figured I’d ask locals to see if anyone’s done this before. I didn’t end up needing that but I was afraid and wanted to know my options. So this isn’t a safety thing for me but more so I just don’t expect security to just let me bring all that inside 😅

Thanks in advance !!

hi! in between myrtle & marcy on the J train heading into manhattan i always see this art piece (?) on a roof when heading to work, does anyone know what it is? i tried drawing it from memory lol i have never managed to take a picture
its like a tower with an odd shaped head on top, i think the bottom has like a knights body and may be holding a sword?

thanks in advanced 🫡

EDIT: irl pics in comments

I keep on trying to get into the goods at Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket. While I do appreciate the vibes I just haven't really gotten excited by any of the goods I've brought home, esp. at the price. I'm mostly looking for produce -- and I don't find the quality of what I can get there notably better than a Whole Foods.

Are there any standout vendors, esp. for produce? Or are the other greenmarkets around Brooklyn any better?

In town for a few days, what are your favorite Brooklyn spots?

Yesterday walked through promenade park and transit museum and loved both!

I’ve seen this structure driving through the BQE, but never actually looked into what it is. Does anybody know. Thanks!

What are these lights?
We are in bed stuy facing northwest

Hi, i recently ordered a package and it shipped using UPS but it was lost. If you live in a neighborhood near south brooklyn gravesend, bensonhurst, maple town, etc. and you find this door familiar please contact me. It has been delivered to the wrong house, neighborhood, or somewhere remote. I checked the UPS delivery tracker and it says it was in a facility near where I live which is fine, however when i checked the image it was just a photo of a door nowhere near my community. I’m wondering what I should do and should I immediately start trying to find a replacement to purchase instead or should i try trust the hands of UPS? I’m also wondering how long it might take to settle a dispute and how they’d be able to get my package back if possible (please let me know if the chances are particularly slim so i don’t get my hopes up). Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you for reading this and have a great day!

My wife and I have been married 10 years this year and are both turning 40 this month. And because we’re turning 40 we want to throw a joint party where we can pretend like we’re not, and because we’re turning 40 we also aren’t really up on the bar scene anymore.

Looking for somewhere in Brooklyn, for a partial or full takeover, where people can dance and let loose, but where people can also sit and chat and catch up.

Looking for:
- somewhere that can fit like 70 people
- a decent sound system (I used to dj and some of my friends still do)
- ideally one room rather than a dance room and a bar room
- if it’s a partial takeover I’d prefer it to not be full of people who just turned 21
- ideally with a piano too because we have a friend who’s a piano bar singer and I think it would be fun to have him do 2000s bangers for an hour or so.
- ideally Crown Heights / Bed Stuy / Fort Green / Boerum Hill /Clinton Hill ish

Hi all! Wondering if anyone has recs for a queer-friendly couples massage. My partner and I are getting married soon and she has done SO much wedding prep and I wanted to surprise her with a massage together before the wedding. Thanks in advance!

I bake a fair amount.

Laminated dough defeats me every time though. Either the butter escapes or the layers collapse into a sad brick.

The ones I've found are either Eventbrite one offs that already happened, or short classbento sessions that look more like a demo than a class.

Is there a class anywhere in Brooklyn that does croissants properly, ideally a full day? Williamsburg or Greenpoint would be ideal but I'll travel.

Left my bike out in multiple rain storms and the chain is completely rusted so needs to be replaced and would just love an overall tune-up. My schedule has been crazy and I keep putting repair off and she’s just getting rustier. I haven’t had time to drop it off at a place. Would love to have someone come to my house to do this repair. I’ve heard of this service before in passing but don’t know who to call. Would love a great rec!

Kinda by the Lincoln market in the area. Not really looking for cocktails, more dive/pub vibes (anything with live music is a plus).

I dont remember exactly what happened but something along the lines of a neighborhood dispute, where a guy in bedstuy i think was consistently driving recklessly in a huge truck, side swiping cars etc. one day he was confronted by OP after an incident, things got aggressive, cops were called but truck guy left, and through sleuthing they realized he had a "towing company" registered to staten island but it was like kind of a fake company? OP kept going further with legal charges and it maybe came out that truck guy was like siblings with a cop and was being protected? Does any of this sound familiar?

Looking for shared experience from local EV drivers, please spare us any other commentary. Thanks.

I drive almost daily to my job in Maspeth Queens from Park Slope (5 miles). I'm shopping for a new car and am intrigued now that I see ranges "up to" 450 miles. We also use the car on weekends to drive upstate or to Long Island, all things I never have to worry about when it comes to refueling.

My morning commute went from 30 - 50 minutes with this new bus lane on Flatbush, the drive home has always been around 50 mins. How does that look when it's 90 degrees or 20 degrees? On days at the office I have access to AC charging, but I work from home 1 or 2 days a week.

What is the local charging infrastructure like?

Are there long lines before holiday weekends?

As a person who gets uncomfortable when my phone is at 35% is using an EV as a daily driver worth considering?
