r/Brooklyn

Bought two larger water bottles for $13 (already a scam in itself), but got an email two days later from my bank asking if i intended to tip 74% ($10 extra). Obviously, I did not and contacted my bank who sorted it out, but just sucks. Wanted to possibly warn anyone who might be looking into the area.

•this was the larger food truck and not the stand that was there. Occurred 5/18.

Apologies if this is the wrong place to be asking about the water in the beach because basically what I was looking for was to see if the tides there are calm enough to swim in.

Like what I mean is that there was an incident just recently in Riis Beach where someone drowned in the water as I was looking for a place in Brooklyn for a good swim, but I wanted to know more about Manhattan Beach regarding the water tides.

I'm not sure if this is a stupid question but I have young kids and would love to have access to a club with a pool we could bring them to regularly over the summer. If so, where do you go and what do you pay?

I know there are public options but the lines in my area are long which is hard with young kids. The pools are also freezing.

Hello, just as the title says looking for fellow friends based in Brooklyn (mostly crown heights, bed stuy, Bushwick). Interests are cooking, art, gaming, foodie culture, pop culture. Also open to any groups or clubs to join esp where creation is concerned!

Just wondering how the seat view is. I saw a few pics online but mostly of basketball games. I got cheap tickets for a concert and I’m just happy to be going but also wondering realistically how much I’ll be able to see.

Hi there! I’m coming to town to see Mike D at Xanadu Roller Arts on Friday. It’s at 262 Starr Street. I’m having a tough time trying to ascertain what’s around that area. I’m familiar with other parts of Brooklyn but not this area. Any suggestions welcome! We are two ladies driving.

My buddy doesn’t have Reddit. Posting since the cops at the station didn’t do anything.

He was waiting for the train yesterday afternoon around 1pm and a Hispanic woman in her late 20s/30s punched him in the back of the head with an object in her hand. When he turned around he pushed her away and she was screaming nonsense in Spanish and scratched his arm up pretty bad with her fingernails. He fled the situation since she was obviously mentally unstable.

He stopped by the police booth and the response was annoyance by their candy crush being interrupted. They ridiculed because he said it was a woman that hit him. “You let a woman hit you?” was the quote.

He’s fine but just wants to put the word out there because whoever she goes after next might just end up on the tracks.

Hello! I have a steel mounting bar that needs a straight cut and deburring. It’s cold-rolled steel, 1” wide x 3/8” thick.

Could anyone do this for me or recommend a place? Thanks!

Hello all

My boyfriend and I are visiting this summer before the 4th of July and are staying in downtown Brooklyn for a week and I would just like advice on things

Like how to pack for the summer weather

what are dos and donts of the city

and if there’s any cool places for firework shows if there’s any lol

Or if there’s any places/events you recommend going to

Hello everyone, I’m trying to search online where to donate my winter clothing, and other stuff that don’t fit anymore( I got chunky) I’m not sure if the Salvation Army stills operates or stuff like that. I tried to dump clothes in those cubes located in every Food Bazar location but is always overflowing or messy

This is absolutely a long shot, but it feels worth trying because the vibe was vibing and Reddit has solved stranger mysteries.

To the gorgeous Black man in black roller skates who rode the A from Manhattan to Brooklyn and got off at Nostrand: Earth tones. Maybe army green pants? A sleeveless cut-off and the only kind of gun show I support on the subway. The nose piercing. The whole fit. You had no business looking like that on public transit.

I noticed you as soon as you got on, but I was overheated, not looking or feeling my best, fully in “please do not perceive me” mode, and yet there we were, definitely catching each other looking.

We both got off at Nostrand. I ducked into Wholesome Farms Market. You were somehow gliding out right as I was walking in, and we made eye contact and smiled. Then I immediately tripped on the kicked-up rug, because apparently the universe wanted to humble me. So smooth, I know.

I assumed you’d skated off into the Brooklyn night forever. Then I walked outside and spotted you cruising half a block ahead. I hoped you might turn around, but no dice. You kept rolling, I kept walking, and now here I am, writing a missed connection on a neighborhood subreddit like it’s 2009 Craigslist.

If, on the off chance, you see this, are single, and felt the vibe too, shoot me a message. I’d love a second chance to not trip over a rug and actually say hello lol

Hello Everyone!

I’m a student from Singapore and I enjoy collecting postcards. I would be very grateful to receive postcards from anywhere in Brooklyn . 🙂

If postcards aren’t available, I’d also really appreciate a greeting card, generic card, or a small souvenir. 

(like a keychain, rock, local snack, flag, ornament, cap, T-shirt, or handmade craft)

This is for my personal collection, and not for any commercial purpose.

If you’re willing to help, please leave a comment and I’ll share my mailing address with you.

Thank you so much in advice, and warm greetings from Singapore! 

🇸🇬🤝🇺🇸

¡Hola a todos!

Soy estudiante de Singapur y me encanta coleccionar postales. Les agradecería mucho recibir postales de cualquier lugar de Brooklyn. 🙂

Si no hay postales disponibles, también agradecería mucho una tarjeta de felicitación, una tarjeta de la ciudad o incluso un pequeño recuerdo.

(Como un llavero, una piedra, un dulce típico, una bandera, un adorno, una gorra, una camiseta o una artesanía).

Esto es para mi colección personal, no con fines comerciales.

Si les interesa ayudar, dejen un comentario y les compartiré mi dirección postal.

¡Muchas gracias y un cordial saludo desde Singapur!

🇸🇬🤝🇺🇸

大家好！

我是來自新加坡的學生，我喜歡收集明信片。我將非常感激收到來自布魯克林任何地方的明信片。 🙂

如果沒有明信片，我也很想要賀卡、城市卡，甚至是小紀念品。

（如鑰匙圈、石頭、當地小吃、旗幟、裝飾、帽子、卹或手工藝品）。

這是我個人收藏，不用於任何商業目的。

如果您願意提供協助，請發表評論，我會與您分享我的郵寄地址。

非常感謝您，以及來自新加坡的熱烈問候！ 

🇸🇬🤝🇺🇸

The months are slowly going into the deeper summers, and when that happens, the humidity increases.

what's a god way to handle humidity? I thought about humidifiers, but they're act using more elecetriciyt and work that originally thought

I will be traveling to brooklyn from 7 hours away for a tattoo appointment. it also happens to be pride and my artist informed me there would be lots of parades near and around the shop, which i love but not so much for travel. I’ve been to nyc a few times but with other people driving and making hotel plans, also not on what seems to be such a busy celebratory day. i’m curious if it’s realistic to stay in new jersey and drive into the city without sitting in hours of traffic due to parades and celebrations or if i should bite the bullet and pay for a hotel in the city. i’m so sorry if this seems stupid i’m unfamiliar with public transport and the city. i live in vermont and grew up here so it’s truly a different world. all my love and respect to the city i just need to set some expectation’s for myself :)

Re-entering into buyout convo with my building owner. Only rent stabilized unit out of 5 rented apartments

100 year old building but the rest of building outside my unit renovated. Prime Greenpoint / Williamsburg area near Mcgolrick.

What have People recently been asking and getting? Seems we have a lot of leverage and the last time we chatted about it and declined was during Covid so I realize averages $$ may have altered. Also Im mid 30s single no kids

eta Unit is overall stellar condition. We’ve maintained it well and kitchen appliances were all updated in 2008 still amazing/ before that industry went to h3ll.
