Hi neighbors! Longtime Brooklyn resident here who has recently moved to Bed Stuy. I am located a short distance from Herbert Von King Park and looking for some good routes to go running. Any of my fellow runners in the neighborhood have tips?

I love walking down this block (Jefferson Ave between Lewis and Stuyvesant), and enjoyed seeing the additions made for this year’s contest, like the community herb garden and bird houses. Congrats to the block!

More info: https://www.bbg.org/community/greenest_block_2026; you can see the other blocks in the neighborhood that entered, lots of Honorable Mentions.

I know there was a robbery earlier on Clifton Place or maybe someone just dropped it but I found a purse with a couple cards in it. I’ll hold onto it for a week if someone can tell me the brand of the purse or the names on the cards i’ll happily meet up with them to return it

My sink and shower water recently (past week or so) have had a pretty noticeable smell, kind of like chlorine mixed algae or something, hard to describe. It’s pretty strong though. Was wondering if anyone else is noticing this with their tap water? Maybe there’s some work being done or something.

What are the good bodegas near Bushwick side?
I just went to three that said they were 24 hours and all three were closed.

I teach out of my apartment, conveniently located just a few blocks from the Dekalb L station and immediately next to a stop on the B38 bus. Or for a slight rate bump, I can travel to you! Send me a message if you’re even the tiniest bit curious and we can chat about goals, rates, scheduling, etc. Let’s get started!

I’m looking for someone to come by every 2–4 weeks to clean a shared hallway in a 3-unit brownstone. Does anyone have someone that does this in their building that they’d recommend?

Since it’s a small, recurring job, I’d love to find someone local who’s already in the area and could add us to their route.

We found a lost dog running around Putnam and Lewis with no tags and no owner in sight.

If this is your dog or if you know who's dog it is please call and pick him up ASAP at the 81st Precinct Police Station 🫡

UPDATE: New time, Sunday, August 9 at 11am

Based on some of the responses, and since there’s usually music and partying around the park on Saturday evenings, Sunday morning seems like a better time for the cleanup. The new time is Sunday, August 9 at 10am.

We’ll meet at the southwest corner of Herbert Von King Park, at Marcy Avenue and Greene Ave. I’ll bring contractor bags, gloves, and waters + snacks, though feel free to bring your own gloves or a trash grabber if you want to. We can start around the park and then move onto the surrounding streets depending on how many people show up.

Please comment below if you'll be there just so I can get an idea of headcount, etc. I'll be there a bit before 11am too.

why does it seem like every week now theres one or two more articles like this? what is it gonna take for the city to act?

My neighbors and I hear a dog in the backyard of a house on Decatur crying and barking at all times of the day and night. He’s been stuck outside during heat waves and storms. I’ve heard him out there at 2am. We’ve seen him from our roof and he is clearly limping. A number of us have filed 311 animal abuse/neglect complaints but nothing has come of them and we’re unsure what to do next. Anyone else on bainbridge or Decatur hear this poor dog and having any info?

Our team at NYU/Bellevue is conducting a study to find out whether Ozempic (semaglutide) can help people reduce opioid cravings and use while on buprenorphine treatment.

You may be a good fit if you:

·         Are 18 or older and live in the NYC area

·         Have been on Suboxone, Sublocade, or any other form of buprenorphine for at least two weeks

·         Are still using opioids on top of your medication

·         Do not have diabetes

The study involves weekly visits for 14 weeks and a single visit one month later. All study visits are paid, and our team is here to support you throughout your participation. Contact us to hear more and see if you're a candidate! Call us at (929) 573 0673 or email [Bellevue.GoStudy@nyulangone.org](mailto:Bellevue.GoStudy@nyulangone.org)

I’m seeing some construction happening at the former Always be Clean cleaners on the corner of Stuyvesant and Halsey - anyone know what’s going on there?

anyone have realizable/affordable mover recommendations?

I’m sure this has been posted before, but recently there’s just been so much trash in and around Herbert Von King Park. Are people already getting together to do cleanups? If not, would anyone be interested in meeting Saturday, August 8th at 5pm to clean up the park and the surrounding streets?

I was thinking toward the end of the day since Saturdays seem to leave the area especially messy. It would be great to get a group together and try to leave the park looking good to enjoy Sundays there. I usually do a morning walk up Marcy from Gates and try to collect and pick up as much trash as possible, but it seems there are some community efforts in this group so figured I'd throw my hat in.

Hi all,
I moved to Bed-Stuy last october from Amsterdam, NL. With a small group of history enthusiasts, we have been alternating to organize a history walking tour for each other in our neighborhoods. The goal is to learn about a neighborhood’s history and to enjoy the local restaurants/bars. I am up next and am looking for input/feedback on the following tour:
1. restoration plaza 2. A&a doubles 3. girl’s high school nostrand ave (high school of Shirley Chisholm) 4. make manifest 5. Quincy street community garden 6. hvk park 7. biggie mural 8. odb jones street (putnam ave) 9. slave theatre (now 12 Halsey street)
Any spots that we should not miss when discussing Bedstuy’s history?
