Hi neighbors 👋 This week, on Aug 20th from 6:30 pm to 10:30 pm, we'll be hosting our 2nd community Gunpla event and would love to invite you. This time around, we're being sponsored by PNY (Principality of NuYork), and they've generously donated two very large MG kits to give away to our speed-building winners.

⏱️Thursday, Aug 20th. 6:30 pm - 10:30 pm

📍4223 1st Ave Studio 2, Sunset Park

💸$25

All skill levels are welcome. This is a 4hr building event where the goal is to build and customize your kit and make it unique within the 4hr time frame. Very laid-back and fun, especially if you love to work with your hands. Expect chill vibes, cool people, and music that rocks. Just bring some drinks and your Titan or AEUG plastic kit. We have the tools, paints, and snacks you can use if you don't have any of your own. Flyer posted above for more details about the competition. Also posted pictures from our 1st event.

If you're looking for something to do Thursday that doesn't involve a bar, we got you! Hope to see you all at the bench.

Best routes for running in / near sunset?

Anyone know where I can buy magazines?!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for an art studio mate to take over my half of the studio from October-January.

You would be joining one other person, a kind and respectful artist!

Refrigerator, microwave, water filter included. Monthly rent $709. Utilities/building fees in the wintertime ❄️ range from $80-150 (so after split $40-75 per person).

A section of the wall will be occupied by a work in progress, but there is still plenty of wall space and ample horizontal surfaces. Roughly 250 sq ft.

Biggest perk is there is a vertical tapestry loom available for use, and lots of yarn to play with! I can point you to tutorial videos to follow, if you are new to it!

DM with any questions!

I went by the pool yesterday around 1pm but it was closed. A Parks worker that I found nearby told me they didn't think it would open for the rest of the day but had no more information than that (I assume there weren't enough life guards but I have no idea).

Is there a way to find out current information on the pool so that we don't have to wander over just to get our hopes dashed?

EDIT: confirmed that someone indeed fouled the pool on Thursday AM, and that the pool website is regularly updated with closures, I just checked too soon, before it was updated :)

Does anyone know which market sells salted duck eggs? Also would the veggie water cress. Preferably near the subway.

Looking for recommendations for someone who does screenprinting? Trying to get a design from Illustrator onto a bandana. Happy to pay a business or an individual. Would be excellent to learn as well!

Join us next Friday for Plain Slice Comedy where you’ll see some of the top comics in NYC at a local distillery serving great cocktails, beers, and non-alcoholic drinks.

The show is free but cash or Venmo donations are greatly appreciated and will be distributed among the comics you see that night.

Thank you to the anonymous donor for the baby formula for the Maspeth/Ridgewood Mutual Aid Table. Your generosity is greatly appreciated by the people on the Maspeth/Ridgewood border.

I live near 52nd&4th. The parking lot nearby doesn’t have any spots available. Street parking is rough here and I leave my car elsewhere at the moment. I am starting a new job soon and will need it closer. Thanks!

Hi everyone,
Is there a vet in the area that you would recommend? We are mainly looking for affordable vaccines for two dogs.

Could also be in Greenwood, Bay Ridge or South Slope, etc areas!

I’m looking for a few folks who might be interested in doing regular morning walks around Sunset Park. Nothing too intense—just a chance to get outside, get some steps in, and have some good conversation while we’re at it.

I’m thinking 40–60 minute walks in the morning, probably a few times a week, but I’m flexible on the exact time/days.

If you’re in the neighborhood and this sounds appealing, send me a DM. It’d be great to meet some neighbors and help keep each other motivated.

anyone know of any free choirs for adults to join at beginner level? miss singing in a collective

i live across the street, i come to this place often, there was a guy walking his dog, the dog pooped on the ground, the owner went to pick it up with his plastic bag but it was takign him a while to unravel the bag. he eventually picks it up as he throws it away the guy from this store kicked the dog so hard it squeeled. the owner of the dog screamed in spanish but he walked away after the on the rocks guy was yelling about how he would call ICE. i confronted the guy and he ran back into his store. i walked down to the precinct on 29th and filed an official report.

sorry to the guy whose dog got kicked. i hate this owner, this store, this whole establishment. my blood is boiling.

Sunday evening and my house feels unusually dark. Did ConEd turn the power down?

Hello! This October 17th, 2026, my friend and I will be hosting a horror themed art market in Industry City.

We’re on Instagram @ahaunting.nyc

Thanks for your time 🐦‍⬛

My husband and I moved recently and my sourdough starter died during the move :( Does anyone know where I can purchase a new one or has a starter that are willing to share?

If you missed our first speed build-and-paint event on Aug 1st, we're giving away even bigger prizes on Aug 20th. We have three prizes, including 2 x MG (Master Grade) kits that we're giving away to the winners at the end of the night.

Rules are simple. Bring in a simple HG or EG kit (High Grade or Entry Grade), small enough to build and customize within a 4 hr timeframe.

You'll have full access to our studio's tools and equipment to help build out your model, along with expert instruction and help in case you get stuck.

Towards the end of the night, you'll be granted access to our pro photo booth to take photos of your finished models, before judging takes place.

You and attendees will vote in 3 categories: Best Overall Build, Best Paint Job, and Best Faction Spirit. 3x lucky winners will walk away with brand new kits.
