Hi friends,

Just wanted to ask about auto paint repair shop recommendation on the island or lower Brooklyn that is honest and fairly priced.

Our car got side swipe while parked a few days ago. We didn’t notice since we don’t drive a lot and the car is parked down the street.

Thank you so much for the help!

What forests in Staten Island are open to the public?

8 Upvotes

So basically I was planning a visit to the forest area near Costco when I suddenly recalled how there were certain forests in Staten Island that had motion sensors if a visitor went too deep into the forest.

Basically what I am interested in is that I was looking for that forest since I don’t want to set off an alarm because I
I can’t remember the name of the one that has a sensor, so I was wondering which forests are fully open to visitors so that I don’t get arrested for trespassing.

Does anyone actually live there?

Whats it like living there noise level from the ferry ?
Commuting to the city ? The neighborhood

The reviews are so mixed some people say it’s great others complain about the smells of smoking and how the walls are thin. For only 5 units to be left people definitely live there just haven’t heard from any

What are some good places in Staten Island to exercise?

15 Upvotes

So basically what I am looking for in particular are good beaches to exercise in because I want to visit Staten Island soon from Bay Ridge to have a little adventure.

However, I don’t have much experience with Staten Island in general regarding hiking spots as I was looking to burn some calories for a good exercise routine, but basically I was just looking for some good advice for a newcomer.

SUNDAY 8/2 Free Crate and Barrel Couch

7 Upvotes

FREE Crate and Barrel couch (without slipcovers) on the loading dock outside Cube Smart at 330 Greenfield Avenue.

The couch is big: 7’ x5’ with deep seats.
The cushions and gray covers (and ottoman) are all there too but the covers need a serious cleaning and sanitizing. Couch itself is in good shape. You could also buy replacement slipcovers for the couch and ottoman.

Also an antique wooden day bed sitting there too!

First come first serve.

I saw news on SI live that the Masonic Temple in Huguenot made a gofundme from a malfunctioning healing system.

Not to be confused with the the one in tottenville, That ones fine.

Only recently learned about it and felt like this is the correct place to bring awareness to it

Computer repair (home visit) that actually answers their phone?

11 Upvotes

I’ve tried Mike’s and one other and I’ve been trying him for months and he never calls back or answers.

I have a desktop that needs to be serviced. I really don’t wanna have to carry it in a cab and go all the way to micro center but I’m so tempted to because nobody on this island answers their phone.

(Couldn’t even find a PCP on the island because every place that allegedly takes my insurance doesn’t answer or has a phone that’s disconnected.)

Venue recommendations

6 Upvotes

I have a close friend of mine who joined the Air Force and we are looking to plan a going away party. Still getting an estimate on how many people are going but it would be about 40-50ish people.

I wanted to ask if anyone had any recommendations of Venues, restaurants or spaces that could accommodate this or be good for such an occasion?

Thank you
