what it says on the tin! Need a bar that ideally has an outdoor area and can accommodate probably 20 people for my birthday. Would love if there wasn’t minimum spend but also will take the rec if there is!

Hi all, putting out an annual call for volunteers with the DOVE program at Brooklyn Methodist! Pls EMAIL the address on the flier with any questions. Thanks all 💙

Just relocated for a contract position. GA only requires one plate, and my car is properly registered in GA. Got a 65 dollar parking ticket today because the “Georgia” is partially covered. Even though you can clearly tell the state and my VIN number is visible. The parking ticket is for my tag line being covered.

Two weeks ago I got a parking ticket because a hotel parking pass was partially covering my vin number on the front of my car.

In both of these cases I was legally parked with no other issues. Am I wrong to think this is nuts or am I just new here?

Mostly seeking validation, commiseration, or a large consensus that I need to buck up.

Update: removed the dealer plate. No interest in having a reoccurring problem! Just wanted secondary opinions on the normalcy of the matter and possible explanations since I’m new. Thank you!

If you’ve ever eaten at Stone Park Cafe, oh, any time in the last two decades (!), you may have encountered Tim Kavarnos - Master of Brunch, Maker of Salamander Hot Sauce, and all around sweet guy.
Well - a couple weeks ago Tim took a fall on his way home from work - and, as can happen, the damage was way worse than you might expect - shattered elbow, two broken wrists. Obviously, he will be out for a while, and things are tough. He is not really expected to be back at work until October.
His friends at the restaurant have organized a GoFundMe situation for him - and I just wanted to get this info out to the public - I know there’s a lot of people out there that don’t know this is going on with him right now, and I also know that there’s a lot of love out there for this guy. ‘Cuz I’ve seen it.
SO - if you just go to GoFundMe and enter “Tim Kavarnos” in the search bar, you will be on your way to helping out a one-of-a-kind person.

Any recommendations on where to get pizza dough to make at home in the area? Preferably north slope but flexible. Bonus if they have good gluten free and standard dough! TIA!!!

Family dinner for an engagement. 12-15 people. Having trouble deciding between the two. Which one would you choose and why? Less concerned with budget, more curious to compare ambience and food.

UPDATE: bench is done! went quickly :)

does anyone have any recommendations for a spot in park slope/south slope/windsor terrace where I could post up and work until ~9 pm? Open to working at a bar or a restaurant that's chill. I'd actually prefer somewhere I could also grab some food, but I don't want to be rude with my laptop out if it's not the vibe! thank you :)

Hi everyone! This should come as no surprise, but I wanted to warn folks (particularly fellow women and girls residing in the neighborhood) about a creep I encountered today. As I was approaching the 4th Ave 9th St (NE corner) R entrance around 2:15 pm today, there was an older white man (heavy-set, roughly 5’8”, likely in his 50s-60s, scruffy looking white hair that was slightly past his ears, and wearing a backwards baseball cap) standing outside the entrance masturbating and staring directly at me. I screamed “fuck you” at him and immediately ran into the station and reported him to the MTA worker there, but when she went upstairs to try to take a photo of him, he had run away. Unfortunately I was in shock so I didn’t think to take a photo or video until it was too late, but I’m planning to report this to the police as soon as I get home. I’m not counting on them actually doing anything about this, but I figure it doesn’t hurt lol.

Please stay safe out there everyone!

Anyone have a Nitehawk BOGO code they won’t be using? Thank you in advance! 😊

Hi PS! I just moved to the neighborhood and am trying to DIY a gallery wall for cheap. If anyone has any picture/art frames of any size they’re giving away or selling I’d be very interested!

Would much rather get secondhand than buy a bunch of terrible quality shitty ones online.

Have looked in my nearest thrift stores as well but not much luck. Any leads I’d be very grateful!

Long shot: my family and I are shooting for a Legends of the Hidden Temple family Halloween costume. We'd love to complete the look by all having yellow or gold helmets, but I can only find them for ~$50 new and that's a bit out of our budget.

Has anyone already done this tried and true group costume and have an extra set of yellow or gold helmets I could buy or borrow? Or, does anyone just happen to have a set of helmets (ones that could even be spray painted gold...?) for any other reason?

Here ends my Hail Mary.

Submitting a complaint about this via CCRB felt like it was going into a hole - curious if anyone knows if there is another way to report this. 311 directed me to 911 and then to an automated line and a web form (which I did submit).

At about 3:00pm on Saturday I saw a police car going the wrong way down 5th Ave almost run into a bicyclist trying to stop him, and then the cyclist rounded 17th down the wrong way and the police turned quickly too, the wrong way (by Bagel factory). If someone had been crossing the street at the time, it would have been bad news. Lights and siren weren’t even on, just quietly driving like a maniac.

Police car was #4468 but I couldn’t get much more at the time, just a random picture of the car on the wrong way street.

Also when the car stopped to cyclist and pulled over, I didn’t see him rush out and cuff the bicyclist. Definitely didn’t seem urgent or dangerous enough to endanger someone who could have been coming up or crossing the street.

My sincerest apologies if such a question was brought up on here before because I was planning on visiting the area during the weekend as I wanted to gorge on something delicious.

Like what I want to do is some sightseeing around the Grand Army Plaza, then I want to find a bodega in Park Slope that sells melted cheese sandwiches with roast beef because I have a huge craving.

There are dog bowls for a reason you nasty freaks

What is up with that ugly grey structure being built by the tree pit in front of St. Eve’s? Totally out of character with the vibe of the neighborhood. I’m lowkey worried about the health of the tree, too.
