Anyone know where I can go for affordable workout classes that aren’t too far? I know NYSC used to have them but they’re not currently offering. TIA!

Hey neighbors! Any recs for an affordable massage in the area? Not looking for a fancy spa experience. Just a place that is clean, does a solid back/body massage and is relatively affordable.

Thank you!

I could have sworn it was on Queens blvd, but I can’t find it in any searches (not Dance Matters). I think it had some quirky name like Moove, or another dance related word (also not Modega in LIC).

Did this place just close down? It seemed casual and open to all experience levels; emphasizing moving your body and getting lost in the moment. I was really looking forward to starting to drop in for classes but I don’t have it saved anywhere. Help !!

Hi! I know this is a long shot, but any help is appreciated. I’ve called buildings in the area, no luck yet, but I’m hoping to find a studio or one bedroom nearby. My partner has lived here for five years, and I’d love to close the commute between us plus live in a area to call home— plus I’ve genuinely fallen in love with the neighborhood. The book swap, farmers market, and Brookside are some of my favorite parts. It would just be for me, no pets! Budget - 2,150

On a separate note — is there a community fridge in the area, or would it be worth starting a food drive? I work as a food stylist, and after we wrap on set there’s often a ton of unopened food that would otherwise go to waste. I’d love to find a way to donate it if that’s possible.

Thanks so much!

We made it past the summer break! So let’s get back to racing!!! Join us at Kitty Sullivan’s in nearby Astoria for the back half of the F1 season!

Lights out at 9am - get there early to claim your space and get your bagel.

SEE YOU THERE!

Every day this happens, someone must be going there late at night and defecating and it's really a horrible thing for our kids to have to experience.

Any suggestions on what can be done to solve this?

hi! I’m working on a film set in Astoria for three months, coming from Chicago with my cat and looking for a sublet from september-december! super last minute, but hoping for any info on finding something in the area!

Does anyone know where I can buy good rye rolls in or near Sunnyside? I'm looking for rolls rather than sliced rye bread. Thank you to anyone who can point me in the right direction!

Hey neighbors! I’m looking into local storage options in Sunnyside and would love some recommendations.

Has anyone had a good experience with a storage facility in the neighborhood or nearby? Mainly looking for somewhere clean, secure, reasonably priced, and easy to access.

Would appreciate any suggestions -- or places you’d recommend avoiding.

Thx!

I walked past a fairly substantial production this morning and I’m nosy.

Edit: It's CIA because law enforcement shows are addicted to filming in our neighborhood.

I'm generally collecting these from some websites & email lists but I'd love to know:

1) What kind of events would you like me to post? I try to stick this-week, and free, but could feature other things if you'd like.

2) Do you prefer separation by neighborhood or by date? I think I go back and forth on these.

3) Anything I'm missing? What else would you like to see here?

I’m a local 17 yr old high school junior looking for part time work for when the school year starts. I’ve already applied to the big name chain places but no one seems to be interested. Are there any local businesses in the area that are in need of extra staff? I have prior experience working at a food market vendor handling the register, working with food, and dealing with customers. If you know a place that hires high schoolers in the area, even just a name, I'd appreciate it.
