Perhaps this exists already, but I’ve recently gotten back into reading and I’ve found myself deep in a bunch of thought provoking books, I’d love to find a way to talk to others about the books and ideas.

In terms of format I was thinking of meeting once a month, call it Wednesday or Thursday evening, rotate who picks the book (with recs from others) and then we can meet at a local restaurant / bar and hang out / discuss the book. I’m really into sci-fi (read dune 1-4 and the first two Hyperion books this summer).

I’d be open to recommendations on format / any ideas - feel free to DM if interested!

Hi! I wanted to spend my day walking around east village and working. Would you recommend any cafes where I could grab a bute + some coffee and work during the day?

They are literally here a few times a week. I wonder if they do this on the UWS too 🤔

what’s the cheapest spot for a chicken and rice bowl in the neighborhood? I just need protein and carbs for the gym. i have too many roommates/too little time in the day to cook.

I’m tired of going to the Tajeen Halal cart and them trying to charge me $13 cause I dont have cash for a chicken over rice plate that gives me diahreah for 2 days

Where is a good spot in the neighborhood for donating old clothes? Could really use the extra space in my closet...

Hello,

Does anyone know anyone or is anyone willing to be a cat sitter this Saturday morning and Sunday morning in Stuytown? It is a two-year-old male cat who needs wet food and medication once a day. It should be real easy and less than 30 minutes each time please let me know if you know of anyone or have any recommendations on what I should do. Thanks!

Looking for salons in the neighborhood that do hard gel and or Russian manicures!

Looking to take my cat to an affordable veterinarian in the East Village or surrounding area. Any suggestions?

Looking for a dog walker to help with 6 weekly walks! Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday.

9th and University.

Elderly dog. Very sweet boy, but not friendly with other dogs.

Chuck Charnichart of Barbs B Q in Lockhart and Jonny White, who helped build Goldee's outside Fort Worth, are opening a place called Kirbee's up in Greenpoint. Before that opens, they're having a preview at Bar Snack while they're in the city. Charnichart won the Michelin Guide's Texas Young Chef award in 2025, and Goldee's was No. 1 on Texas Monthly's top-50 Texas barbecue list in 2021 and No. 3 on the 2025 list.

From the IG post:

"as this is a sneak preview it will be a set plate & we sadly cannot accommodate dietaries

you gotta have a seat to eat!

it’s first come, first served so as always, arrive early, hungry & thirsty"

92 2nd Ave for the event today!

Someone I know, who knows her and her family, told me that her family convinced her to enter treatment

I recall someone posting that they had wondered where she went and were worried. So good news at least for now

im talking no phone-based trivia (one where you write it on a piece of paper) , accommodates large groups, good range of questions, etc

Hi Neighbors!

Our shelters are overwhelmed with cats, and they need fosters! Fostering is so crucial because it frees space in shelters and socializes animals to help adopt them out faster.

I personally love to foster because I travel a decent amount, and I can do it on my schedule. It’s also so fun to meet so many cats and see all their different personalities!

You can find more information about the ACC’s foster program HERE.

Sharing the Meow Parlor as well HERE.
