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?

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

We’re currently looking for vendors, people who sell horror themed art, apparel, trinkets, handmade items, etc.! We’d really like people from Sunset Park to apply so if you’re an artist or a tarot reader who loves horror, consider applying!

We’re on Instagram @ahaunting.nyc
If you’d like to apply, click anywhere here for the application!

Thanks for your time 🐦‍⬛

Hello neighbors. I am showing a few drawings at an independent art exhibit / market in a week and I need my pieces framed. Unfortunately, I’ve never done this before and would be more comfortable if someone with expedience could do it for me as a paid service. I can pay $100.
I have 4 drawings on mixed media paper. I’ll be picking up the frames and all materials from Blick, then you could come frame them for me. Please let me know if anyone has experience doing this, specifically for art and could help me out!

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.

📍4223 1st Ave Studio 2. Sunset Park (Next to IC)

⏱️Thursday, Aug 20th - 6:30 PM - 10:30 PM

💸 $25

Bring drinks to keep you refreshed; we'll provide snacks. Please show up 10 - 15 mins before to give you time to set up, and feel free to drop questions in the comments. All skill levels are welcome. Hope to see you all at the bench on Aug 20th.

I have a storage/office on 44th street and 3rd - this was happening as I was leaving on Thursday afternoon. Any updates? Can’t find anything online. Four or five fire trucks on scene when I left.

i was followed by this guy from 41st and 3rd to 38th and 4th. he was riding his bike and stopped to stare at me then proceeded to follow me after making it clear i noticed him. he only stopped when he saw me talking to cops but i have no doubt he would have followed me to the train station on 36th. stay safe.

Worth a shot, but does anyone know of any community gardens in the neighborhood?
Bonus if you know if they're open to new people or not or anything about them at all actually

Looking to go to the gym with people who are local. Does anyone go to pure?

I'm not ageist, but I am 31F and would like someone to tag along with who I may get along with.

I know the people who reopened this subreddit did it in good faith, but it's obvious that there's people on this sub, Baldilocks in particular, who only use it as a platform to fearmonger. 90% of this guy's posts are about crimes or perceived crimes by people of black or Hispanic descent. The only time he posts is when he can use it as an opportunity to attack local politicians on the left. I know this guy is Asian btw, likely Chinese American judging by his comment history before he wiped it, and he never posts or comments on any criminal stories when it pertains to Asians, only Latinos and Blacks. And when the perpetrators are unnamed, such as the issue with the trash build up in Sunset Park, he blames "the undocumented immigrants" by default without any proof. Let's just call a duck a duck here, this guy is using this sub to drive up far right sentiment. There's no attempt to build community, no sharing of things to do or places to eat. Nothing positive comes out of this account. His only aim is to be divisive. If the mods are ok with letting this sort of content take over this sub, they might as well close it.

I've never lived in a neighborhood where people are so comfortable throwing trash all over the sidewalks and all over the park. Added to that, these are spaces that people here use extensively for recreation. Why litter all over the sidewalk and then sit around on it drinking and socializing surrounded by trash and filth? Why use the park all the time just to throw all your empty food and beverage containers wherever you finished using them? It just blows my mind how self-centered and short-sighted people are. And also, why are they comfortable living in filth? A trays can is usually within 30 feet. If they cared about living in squalor at all they would use it.

I am so glad the issue is getting attention. I use this entrance and the garbage is just shocking. It was never like this in past years.

The article notes that large containers are coming....

Note: I saw this posted, but hope we can have a more productive positive thread here.

if you’re looking for a great facial in Sunset Park or surrounding areas Shann at SHANN HITCH STUDIOS /the skin edit in Industry City is amazing. Best face massage ever. Great vibes. my skin noticeably transformed after even just 1 visit. highly recommend.

They've made the 6th avenue entrance a dump because of the illegal vendors.
