r/Brooklyn

Now that spring is here I’m eager to do some gardening. What are good places to get hydrangeas and hostas that isn’t Lowe’s? Hoping to find some interesting varieties. Ideally looking geographically in Gowanus, park slope, downtown, crown heights area

Just moved to NYC and I'm trying to understand how the rental market works from the landlord side.

I keep hearing that NYC lease law is incredibly complicated-rent stabilisation riders, required disclosures, window guard notices etc.

For those of you managing properties here:

-How do you currently create your leases? (lawyer, template, software?)

-How long does it take and what does it cost you?

-What's the most stressful or time-consuming part of the process?

-Have you ever had a lease issue the cost you money or legal headaches?

Asking because I'm genuinely curious about the pain points. Would love to hear from anyone managing 1 unit or 100.

Looking for a good vegetarian friendly restaurant in Brooklyn that would make for a good first date. Ideally in the Prospect Park area. Any recommendations?

My elderly dad's health took turn to the worse and he is currently in short term stay at nursing home (short term means it is up to 90 days if I am not mistaken). The way things are he cannot live by himself. Before he ended up in the nursing home he had home attendant every day of the week (4 days 10 hours/day and 3 days 12 hours/day).

I want to be optimistic that he gets better and comes back home but I need to consider all possibilities. I like the current facility he is in but they don't have long term beds.

When I read online reviews for nursing homes in Brooklyn they are all awful, including the one he is currently in and I actually like this one. He was at this home for 2 months during the COVID after 1 month hospital stay with bad case of COVID and they brought him back to health.

Can anyone recommend a nursing home in Brooklyn that is not awful? My dad is low income and he has Medicaid and Medicare.

My car battery died and I need to get a new one before I can sell it. I’d prefer to stay in the neighborhood. Any recs for a mechanic that won’t overcharge or try to convince me other stuff is wrong with the car? Thanks in advance!

Anyone have any recommendations for a Puppy Socialization group (or as some people call them, Puppy Kindergarten) in Brooklyn Bridge Park or Brooklyn Heights/Cobble Hill?

There have got to be dozens of new puppies in this neighborhood every month – how do we find one another?
