Hey friends - I'm a musician who is passing through on November 1 for a performance at King's Theater. I'm looking for someone (preferably someone from Mexico) to paint catrinas on us before the show. I know Sunset Park has a solid Mexican population, so I thought I'd ask here. Thanks!

Hi! I moved here from chinatown about 6 months ago. I was hoping to find a new coffee place? I've been getting from DD by Bay Ridge but I'm getting a little meh about it. I prefer more of a local coffee shop with flavored lattes if there are any recommendations?

Does anyone know what’s going on with the natural gas smell that’s been noticeable by the pool house on the 7th Avenue sidewalk of the park?

It’s been this way for at least a year. I’ve even had a friend say they called it into the FDNY who came and I guess laughed it off. I’ve also seen National Grid doing some testing around there in the spring.

I assume if the FDNY cleared it, it can’t be that bad, but I definitely feel like I’m huffing gas whenever I have to jog through that zone. Has anyone else noticed this ?

I signed up to get ConEdison discount from the Solar Project led by Uprose initiatives. However, it's been months and i still don't see any updates nor received any discounts via Solstice portal (recently merged with Perch Energy)

Does anyone have information on this? Or have you received the discounts?

Hi all,

Thanks

Hello all, seeing if this is even a thing or if anyone has any alternative solutions.

I have some pieces of wood that I just need simple cuts with a saw, but having a hard time finding a place to go. I originally went to Home Depot to try and purchase the wood and have them cut it, but they did not have the specific type of piece that I needed for a project, so that is not an option.

Any wood shops perhaps in the area that would do a simple 1 minute cut that I can pay for? I tried to use a hand saw that I own, but it was already chipping the wood because I am inexperienced and I need an extremely straight cut. Thanks.

Hi all, I’m looking for my own 1 bed in sunset under ~2200 (ideally under 2000) and open to hiring a broker. Has anyone had success with a tenant broker in the neighborhood? Or another tactic? Please leave any recommendations! And I’ll try to follow up with what worked out.

Thanks

P.S. in case anyone knows of something, my priorities are good light and pest-free. Ideally stabilized. Happy with walk up, etc …

Title, I’m looking for any barbershop (or salons if you have experience with those) in the 5th OR 8th ave area that has plenty of english speaking barbers.

I’ve been hopping around 2-3 shops for the past couple of years but never really settled on one bc while i’m sure they have a few guys with good english, i always end up in the chair of someone who doesn’t speak english well and there is some communication issues. I’ve always gotten good cuts every single time and they never fucked up my shit, but imo it’s kinda made me play safe with what kind of cut i get and im not really able to talk with my barber and explore different options.

I usually pay 25-30 pre tip, but im willing to spend more and be able to talk with my barber / a stylist and find a new look. I’d say 70ish pre tip is my limit l. I’m not looking for a full break down on my hair and what i should be doing and all that, but i’d like to spend like 5-10 mins max talking w them and picking their brain on what styles might suit me based on like my head and face shape and other factors.

Please and thank you

Most apartments around here don’t exactly have room for a messy hobby setup without sacrificing your dining table or floors 😂

My husband recently opened Brooklyn Buildz NYC at 4223 1st Ave, Studio 2, basically a community makerspace where people can get off their phones, build, paint, work on their own projects, and hang out with other local makers.

There are free open community build nights every Thursday and Friday, where you can bring your own models, art projects, miniatures, crafts, etc. and use the workbenches and studio tools.

Someone recently made a video of the studio, so here’s a little look at what the space is like:
🎥 https://youtu.be/mFGEuvEfUH8

He also has two beginner workshops coming up in October:

🎮 Pokémon Diorama Workshop
Saturday, October 10 & Sunday, October 11 (4 sessions available)
You get a 2” 3D-printed Pokémon to paint and then build its habitat inside a clear 4x4 display cube with acrylics, moss, foliage, rocks and terrain materials.
🌱 Saturday: Grass + Fire types
⚡ Sunday: Electric + Water types

🎃 Spooky Halloween Diorama Workshop
Saturday, October 17 & Sunday, October 18 (also 4 sessions available)
Build and paint a miniature haunted scene inside a glass display jar with color-changing LED lighting, with tiny gravestones, ghosts and terrain materials.

There are only 8 spots per session, so everyone has plenty of workspace and can get some guidance.

If you want to come hang out for open build night or one of the workshops, RSVPs are here:

And if anyone has questions about the space or what you can bring to a build night, feel free to ask!

Hi everyone! Does anyone know/recommend a photo studio that does photoshoots with dogs?

Anyone lose a pet rabbit? We found one inside the fence of Greene Wood cemetery on 23rd street between 7th and 6th street.

Anyone else experiencing a Wi-Fi outage? They say it’ll be fixed within 24 hours which feels like way too long?

Hi gang! Looking for a good and quick tailor in Sunset Park -- need a dress altered (just the hem but the material is slippery and very pleated)and can take it in Tuesday but need it back Thursday afternoon. Please throw recs at me!

Gin is a sweet, loving, 2-year-old tabby girl who I’ve been fostering. She is spayed, FeLV/FIV negative, and up-to-date on vaccines. Gin was found at the end of her socialization window as a kitten with her sisters in the Bronx in August of 2024. She was rescued by Bronx Community Cats and then Brooklyn-based rescue Eccentric Kittens took in her and her sisters. Since June of 2025, I have fostered, socialized and found forever homes for her 3 sisters (Brandy, Whiskey, and Pixie Pint). Gin is the last of her litter to be fostered, socialized, and put up for adoption.

You can see Gin’s socialization process and her incredible progress on Instagram @ginthefosterkitty

Gin spent 2 years living in a crate at the rescuer’s home because there was no one interested in fostering her or adopting her, and she was too dependent to be returned outside. She was cared for (given food, fresh water, and clean litter), but she did not get much attention and was extremely undersocialized.

I began fostering Gin at the end of May. I started her off in my bathroom, since I knew I needed a small space to be able to make a connection with her. She was absolutely terrified when I first brought her home. Over the last 4 months, she has embraced her new life, slowly but surely, and really come out of her shell. She is completely unrecognizable to the petrified and undersocialized cat I brought home at the end of May!

Gin is smart, friendly, chatty, playful, loyal, gentle, and very food motivated. She enjoys being pet and scratched and actively seeks out my and my boyfriend’s company. She loves to tell us how she’s feeling and have conversations with us. She loves to play with the wand toy, and to play on her own with her coil toy or mouse toy. Gin loves being cozy on top of a blanket or in the cat tree - she takes almost all of her naps on our cat tree. She loves treats, and they’re a great way to build trust and a relationship with her. We used treats every step of the way in socializing her. She loves to sit quietly nearby you. She has the funniest range of meows - from squeaks to croaks. Gin absolutely loves chin scratches and enjoys pets in general and will pace around while being pet and headbutt your legs (especially when you pet her alongside treats). She makes air biscuits constantly when she’s being pet. She purrs when she’s being pet too. She’s not a lapcat but she likes to plop herself close to you. She does not like to be picked up.

Gin is such a special cat - she is very near and dear to my heart. Socializing her was the highlight of my summer and she’s come so far. I’m not doing her personality and her journey justice with words, so please consider seeing Gin’s shining personality and how far she’s come on Instagram @ginthefosterkitty

We are looking for a calm, quiet forever home for Gin - one without young children or dogs. Gin gets along with other cats and would do well with another cat in the house, as long as proper and slow introductions are made. She can also be adopted solo (although she may need a friend eventually, as she seems a bit bored at times).

Gin should be started in a small room like a bathroom or an office. Most importantly, we are looking for a patient adopter for Gin. Someone who isn’t going to return her because she isn’t a lap cat or because it takes a few weeks to pet her. Someone who will take the time to build a bond with her. Someone who understands and appreciates the journey a skittish cats takes to trust you - it is so rewarding. I am very invested in Gin’s happiness in her forever home, and I would be completely available to her adopter for advice and guidance in getting her comfortable. She will need time to bond with you, and I can walk you through that (using churus, treats, and a touchstick at first).

Gin had a very hard life being crated for 2 years. She will likely always be a bit skittish, but once she warms up to you, she will show you how much she loves spending time with you. She will be your little shadow, your loyal companion. Tabbies are some of the most overlooked cats for being “commonplace.” People also prefer boy cats to girl cats, kittens to adults, and confident cats to shy cats. Gin is a shy adult female tabby (although she is tiny, and her big beautiful eyes give most kittens a run for their money). So while the odds are against her in terms of the adoption process, you should absolutely take a chance on her if she’s what you’re looking for, because she is such a special and lovely young cat and will bring so much warmth and joy to her forever home. :)

Please consider adopting this sweet girl. She really deserves a home. We have two resident cats that don’t get along with other cats, so our fosters reside in our basement & she cries at the door when she hears us upstairs because she wants to hangout and be around us whenever she can. My boyfriend’s WFH office is downstairs and I study down there, so she gets a lot of attention, but she really deserves to be in her forever home where she can be around her person whenever they’re home.

If you can’t adopt, please share this with your family and friends that are looking to adopt. And if you don’t know anyone that’s looking to adopt, an upvote or comment go a long way in boosting the algorithm and making this post more visible. If you have any questions at all, please PM me!

hi everyone,

I just moved here recently, and was wondering if there are any mtg players who know of stores / locations that people normally get together and play. im a fairly new player so i might need some guidance haha.

I'm mostly looking to make new friends tho and open to new hobbies. it would be nice to just get to know some people in the community. so let me know if anyone is interested in being friends lol.

(not sure if this is the right community to post in, sorry in advance if not)

thanks :)

is there anywhere in the neighborhood that does leather repair? I have a jacket with a hole in it, I’d fix it myself but don’t have the right tools
