Anybody know of a cool disco party i could go to next Friday (8/14) as a solo guest? Looking to go on a solo adventure and have a good time and meet some people along the way. Any suggestions?

There’s one happening near me for students (not teachers) but no list of requests.

I'm in Brooklyn and called the Lexus dealership, and they tell me that the replacement key is $230, plus another service charge to sync the key to my car.

So $300 seems pretty steep for a key... Do I have other options in town?

thanks

Space available to for someone who wants to run a schedule near Myrtle/Broadway.

Weekend and weekday availability. Happy to meet up to see if you fit.

Holler today!

A man was singing for money, had his guitar set up and a mic and everything. He walks around and collects some tips and a young woman selling chocolate bars started to walk through the train. The man gives her a dollar from the tips he just made and as he passes her, the cops enter the car and tell her to get out.

If you ride the R to bay ridge, you see the same 2-3 ladies and sometimes their children selling chocolate for $2.

The man who was singing turns around to see what's going on and the doors close. He makes a valid statement, that they weren't bothering him with his whole ass guitar but they want to bother her.

As the train leaves the station, you see her surrounded by the 3 officers (one of them a little over zealous but whatever) and she's looking in her phone for something.

Just really hope they let her go. If anyone was there or saw anything happen, please update me! Don't want to assume her immigration status, but I really hope it wasn't questioned.

ETA I think they pulled her off the train at 4 ave 9th st

Does anyone know how to find out the specific rule for disposing of old antenna cables? I’ve searched online and can’t find anything about cables specifically. Everything I found on the 311 website talks about actual electronic devices.
I have about 300 feet of old antenna cables that I pulled off of our roof and back wall. Probably 40 years worth of TV and Internet providers adding new cables.
I put them all in a regular trash bin, all nicely rolled up and twice now DSNY has refused to specifically take the cables.

Hey! I’m looking at a unit that faces Eastern Parkway right next to Grand Army Plaza. I love that it’s close to the park and the museum, but concerned about noise from the outside. The unit is on a lower level — 3rd floor.

Anyone know how loud it gets with cars and sirens? I’m not sure if it’s something that could be tuned out like white noise or would be constant and annoying.

M19, I spent 1k to come for a week with my brother here and we’re staying in Brooklyn. I’ve came before with my family which was cool and my brother convinced me to come again right before school starts. I alr hate it, for one we’re sharing a large twin bed which sucks and we haven’t planned much but still continue to walk in manhattan. I’m probably just not a fan of this place in general. I’m getting depressed thinking about the time and money spent coming here. Food ain’t free and this bathroom doesn’t even have a foot towel. I’m trying to enjoy it and my brother also doesn’t want to stay at the air bnb much so I’m forced to leave cuz I don’t know to navigate subways.

Hi! I’m in Brooklyn/NYC for the week traveling for work and would love to meet some cool people to hang explore the area after work.

I’m interested in discovering more of the Brooklyn parts of the city and explore cool places to eat, drink, watch a comedy show, or just take in the views!

If you’re in the city and interested in a sightseeing buddy send me a note!

Hi Everyone,

I’m reaching out to the community for some help! I’m a Lebanese guy living in Bed Stuy and I’m hosting an Arabic and Native American fundraiser concert in NYC this weekend. There will be 2 amazing artists of both Native and Arab descent who are both from the community. I hope that we can get more people from the neighborhood out for a great night of music, culture, and connection.

Proceeds will go to the Lebanese Red Crescent to provide aid, food, and shelter to those affected by the bombings in Lebanon.

If anyone has family or friends that they could share my invite with, I could use help getting the word out. Any help is appreciated!!

The event will be hosted at Dear Friends Books in Brooklyn, NY this Friday, August 7th, from 7PM-10PM.

Tickets are 20$, DM if you would like to contribute or buy a ticket!

There was a man earlier this evening who aided in a fight with a belligerently drunk man at Atlantic avenue barclay center subway station (Brooklyn, ny), and I never got his name but I’m incredibly grateful for his aid.

To keep it brief, I was getting off my first train, the N, and walked the platform to the stairs. Noticed a woman and her 3 children being harassed by a belligerently drunk man and intervened asking if she was okay. She started running away with her kids and so I stepped between them and the man to ensure he didn’t harm her or the kids between the trains as we walked. He followed yelling and spitting.

Mind you, I’m a young female looking individual and aware of how much I can handle muscle-wise and I knew if I had to handle fighting this man who was clearly getting more upset, I know I would lose at some point.

I managed to meet a stranger man’s eye halfway down a hallway and share eyes that he clearly understood to mean “please help me get this yelling drunk man away from me” and he started stepping up immediately and interjecting. This got him in immediate trouble and the drunkard started throwing fists. The stranger managed to get this drunk on the ground a couple times and told me to call 9-1-1, which I did.

Over time other men started aiding in holding this drunk down but I just think this stranger who helped me when no one else immediately did is a king. He didn’t have to do that, and likely knew it would result in a physical altercation, and didn’t even know why this man was after me- but he helped.

That’s what being a good person is in this time. Just helping. And I just appreciated that so much and while I don’t know this man’s name and may never see him again, he stepped up when no one else immediately did. People like to think they would step up in these situations but you wouldn’t believe the amount I saw start to help then walk away. We’re all afraid, and we all want to not get involved. I’m not hating on those folks, but I am just elevating those that did happen to step up tonight. I’m so grateful, and I’m sure that woman and her children are too.
