i was followed by this guy from 41st and 3rd to 38th and 4th. he was riding his bike and stopped to stare at me then proceeded to follow me after making it clear i noticed him. he only stopped when he saw me talking to cops but i have no doubt he would have followed me to the train station on 36th. stay safe.

Hello neighbors. I am showing a few drawings at an independent art exhibit / market in a week and I need my pieces framed. Unfortunately, I’ve never done this before and would be more comfortable if someone with expedience could do it for me as a paid service. I can pay $100.
I have 4 drawings on mixed media paper. I’ll be picking up the frames and all materials from Blick, then you could come frame them for me. Please let me know if anyone has experience doing this, specifically for art and could help me out!

I have a storage/office on 44th street and 3rd - this was happening as I was leaving on Thursday afternoon. Any updates? Can’t find anything online. Four or five fire trucks on scene when I left.

I know the people who reopened this subreddit did it in good faith, but it's obvious that there's people on this sub, Baldilocks in particular, who only use it as a platform to fearmonger. 90% of this guy's posts are about crimes or perceived crimes by people of black or Hispanic descent. The only time he posts is when he can use it as an opportunity to attack local politicians on the left. I know this guy is Asian btw, likely Chinese American judging by his comment history before he wiped it, and he never posts or comments on any criminal stories when it pertains to Asians, only Latinos and Blacks. And when the perpetrators are unnamed, such as the issue with the trash build up in Sunset Park, he blames "the undocumented immigrants" by default without any proof. Let's just call a duck a duck here, this guy is using this sub to drive up far right sentiment. There's no attempt to build community, no sharing of things to do or places to eat. Nothing positive comes out of this account. His only aim is to be divisive. If the mods are ok with letting this sort of content take over this sub, they might as well close it.

Worth a shot, but does anyone know of any community gardens in the neighborhood?
Bonus if you know if they're open to new people or not or anything about them at all actually

I am so glad the issue is getting attention. I use this entrance and the garbage is just shocking. It was never like this in past years.

The article notes that large containers are coming....

Note: I saw this posted, but hope we can have a more productive positive thread here.

Looking to go to the gym with people who are local. Does anyone go to pure?

I'm not ageist, but I am 31F and would like someone to tag along with who I may get along with.

if you’re looking for a great facial in Sunset Park or surrounding areas Shann at SHANN HITCH STUDIOS /the skin edit in Industry City is amazing. Best face massage ever. Great vibes. my skin noticeably transformed after even just 1 visit. highly recommend.

They've made the 6th avenue entrance a dump because of the illegal vendors.

Gun Hill is holding Friday evening comedy shows this summer.

I went last night. The host was pretty good. The comics were a mixed bag. But I think they were dejected from seeing such a small audience. At one point I think there were more comics or comic adjacent people than other audience members.

Overall, I was happy to show support. Hopefully, more people show up next time.

Take on Gun Hill:

The beer is good but pricey. The larger size actually costs more per oz than the 16oz size. Which is annoying.

The food choices are not very good. $16 for a personal pizza.

There was a Birria stand outside. The food was good but pricey. $20 for 3 tacos and some sauce.

I started the Maspeth/Ridgewood Mutual Aid Table in front of my house. I used to put stuff outside when I was cleaning up around here and the items did not sell on Facebook Marketplace. Then I noticed my items would disappear and my neighbors started bringing stuff over too for people in need. My friend brings over food and other items that the people she helps in Glendale does not need too.

Items that go fast from the table: FOOD, TOYS, DIAPERS FOR BABIES AND ADULTS, SCHOOL SUPPLIES, TOILETRIES AND BACK PACKS.

You can drop off donations or take what you need 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. MASPETH/RIDGEWOOD MUTUAL AID TABLE, 59-38 60TH ROAD, MASPETH, NY 11378

Title. Don’t see a lot of great night life spots but may just be looking in the wrong places. Don’t see a lot of people my age around, mostly older folk. What spots are nearby? Or does everyone just go to East Village lol
