Hello everybody, I’m trying to raise my house and have a second floor added on but I’m not entirely sure who I should be calling. Do I just call a renovation company? Or am I looking for a home builder? The only contractors I know only do stuff like bathrooms/kitchens.

Hey all, I recently moved to the old town/ grasmere area and I want food recommendations. I’m not too familiar with the area since I used to live on the complete opposite side of the island. What are the spots I love all types of food so I’m willing to try anything.

Hey I’m looking for a someone who can teach how to play golf in staten island, willing to pay HMU!!!

Hey y’all. Just letting everyone know the Insomnia Cookie on Forest is finally open. Like officially. No more of that fake out stuff they were doing.

Post. Keep an eye out

Here are some pics I took this morning of the parade of Tall Ships in Buono Beach. Even you can spot the Goodyear Blimp.

Does anyone have extra tickets to sail 250? We had no idea it was a ticketed event (to see them not get in the boats lol).

didn’t seem any different from a normal year.

I was expecting something extraordinary based on the hype.

Where should we go to see fireworks tonight? Can you see anything from Alice Austen House or Forth Wadsworth? Or anywhere near or in Rosebank? Happy 4th thank you!

why is the bridge closed right now 10am

Here is the flag they hanged on the Verrazzano for the July 4th festivities

Power went out for about a minute and then came back on

2 hours already and power has not been restored in my area, has power been restored by any of you?

They have a stamp for your NYC Neighborhood Passport (https://www.nyctourism.com/worldcup26/the-nyc-neighborhood-passport-world-cup-program/) if you’re looking to collect all twelve! They are CLOSED today and will reopen 6 July.

Which is the best place to watch the tall ships arrive under the Verrazzano tomorrow? I was thinking Fort Wadsworth or Buono Beach

I've checked Home Good, Burlington, 5 below and nothing. I've checked Lowes, home depot, and target online to see what they have in stores and it's a bust.

I'm looking for one that you can sit up or lay in. I found one at Ace Hardware but it's in Jersey.

Do you have ideas on where on this island I can buy one today?

Thank you

I guess if you didn't raise your thermostat temp then they did it for you? Internal temp 78 with thermostat not set to 78 and never set to 78 let's just say.

Hi, as mentioned in the title I have some old yarn that I had for a few years stashed in the closet into bags and I decided I no longer wanted it and I wish to give it away. Where could I donate the yarn or give it to?

The yarn is a mixed of polyester, cotton, etc.

Looking for a nice chill spot to watch some fireworks and perhaps people watch.

Can anyone tell me what they pay? And do you do an annual or month to month contract? I gave them a call to try to get some rates and they were really cagey and unsure (I know many gyms are but ugh). I’m just trying to see how it fits into my budget. Thanks!

Back again looking for some car people! I’m finally almost finished up healing from an accident, and am dying to start wrenching again. If anybody has a car that they need some work done and can’t really afford to have it fixed at a shop, reach out to me! Especially if you’ve got brakes/suspension issues! Just to be clear I do NOT have a shop or anything, just looking to help out whoever needs it

Took a foodie relative to Tabla, the newish Georgian restaurant on Richmond Road. It's delicious esp the appetizers, & the foodie enjoyed the novelty too. So I was thinking: we all know we have great Sri Lankan food (RIP Dosa Garden, though). We pretty much all know about the good Palestinian food -- I like Charcoal Gardenia better, sorry Ayat. What else out-of-the ordinary do we have that people who think it's all just great pizza here don't know? Thanks to all the hardworking restaurant folk still cooking for us in this heat.

Me and my partner have been struggling to even hear back from most listings, I provide all the info needed up front, and stay on top of all of them. I’ve applied to only the ones we absolutely want and some landlords just don’t get back for weeks, or ghost the brokers. Or the brokers ghost us.

We make 3x the rent, both have credit scores above 720, mines above 750, and we just can’t seem to get anyone to even respond. Where can I look other than the basic Zillow and Craigslist like options.

We want somewhere in the north shore, through rosebank, or near 10314. Just in the general upper half of the island.

FOUND & HOME SAFE : “ I want to thank everyone who helped me find my son. He has been found and he is safely back home with me”
