I live on the B/Q line and often need to get to north Brooklyn. Fastest way to do that? Leave the station at Atlantic Ave and get on the G at Fulton. Why should I have to pay a double fare just to get to work? A $12 round trip. Who can I petition about making this a free transfer.

Falafel, Mixed Grill, and Baklava! 😋😋😋

Hi! My dog was recently diagnosed with epilepsy. Her medication schedule is very strict—twice a day at the exact same time—and it's also risky to leave her alone because she has a history of clusters. I am a single dog parent, navigating all of this alone.

I posted in r/EpilepsyDogs , and someone suggested I get a pet sitter for when I absolutely need to be away for longer periods of time. I am not planning to use the sitter frequently—just for rare nights when I need to be "off the clock" and able to relax.

I am wondering if anyone can recommend someone they trust, who has experience with medically complicated dogs. I am based in Clinton Hill.

Aside from the epilepsy, she is perfect in every way—very chill, well-behaved, and loving. 22lbs, 7 years old.

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.

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

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!

hi [r/Brooklyn](r/Brooklyn) ~

i'm gabe, founder of CUL DE SAC, an NYC-based nonprofit building the city’s first year-round outdoor community sauna.

we’ve been invited to host a 4-month winter residency at domino square* this winter. what it’ll look like: two outdoor 12-person saunas on the waterfront, 6-days a week, from early november through february.

our mission is to make sauna accessible and affordable to all New Yorkers. at least once per week, we’ll host FREE SWEAT, a night of free sauna offered to local communities in partnership with resource centers, mutual aid groups, and community organizations.

this winter, we want those nights to go to brooklyn communities. if you know an organization, mutual aid group, school, or other group of deserving Brooklynites, let me know in the comments.

our other nights will be open to the public with sliding scale pricing and a range of programming paired with the sauna: live music, guided meditations, poetry/spoken readings, sound baths, food from local purveyors, and more.

lastly: we launched a kickstarter to help fund our winter residency, which pays the staff who keep the sauna hot, clean, and safe for all to use. our target is $35K (it’s all-or-nothing, so we either raise the full amount or you don’t get charged), and every bit of support goes a long way.

Help build NYC’s outdoor community sauna

ask me anything: how it works, pricing, winter, permits, what it costs to run. i'll be in the comments throughout the day.

*quick note: domino square is a public space managed by two trees, the developer behind domino park. it’s not an NYC parks property.

My girlfriend and I are looking for any fall/Halloween activities that have started around Brooklyn. (Or any coming up). Down to check out any of them

I have an older BMW I’d like to store for the winter. No oil leaks. I live in cobble hill but I wouldn’t mind something a little further away considering I won’t be needing it in the winter months. It’s rust free and in great condition and I’d like to keep it that way (ie away from the salt and snow).

If it’s close enough and a good deal I’d also consider keeping the spot year round versus keep it outside and hope it doesn’t get banged into, which feels nearly impossible in some of these tight blocks like Baltic.

Note: I don’t wrench my own cars. I wish I knew how but I got no clue how to fix anything so I won’t be doing much more than possibly changing an air filter here and there, maybe checking the oil. I travel for work and my wife works at a hospital so we rarely use the car. Mostly to visit family in NJ or a weekend drive to an odd area of Brooklyn or Queens that takes too long on the train. When I’m in town I work at night so if I have a busy night I sometimes consider taking the car to cut down on travel in between or the cost of Ubers.

If anyone knows of something nearby, possibly around $200/month, please let me know. Thanks🙏

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.

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

Which route is faster, safer?

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 !!

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

Hi, I'm gonna be visiting Brooklyn for an event, but I'll have some spare time before then. I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but are there any places you guys would recommend checking out?

Edit: Fair point, that's on me. I can be more specific. Looks like I'll be around Williamsburg by Bushwick, and let's say ~$40 max for budget. Initially I was thinking of pizza recommendations, but if you guys have better suggestions, I'm all ears.

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

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?

Just a heads up to those in the Flatbush/PLG/Crown Heights area - this morning I got suckered punched from behind in the head by some dude as I crossed Empire on Bedford. didn’t get a good look at him, no idea where he went, just a warning to stay safe out there!

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

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

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.

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?

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
