r/Flatbush

I've gotten some great input from Bushwick redditors in the past, so please let me know if you have any hobby happenings (dj classes, mahjong workshops, pickleball clinics etc) coming up that I can include in next month's roundup!

I tend to only include experiences that will really help someone dive into a new hobby and gain enough skill/community to feel equipped to keep going, but you know of shorter experiences (less than 2 hours), I can still include those in the weekly emails.

Thanks in advance 😄

Hey — we won a housing lottery and are moving into our new place June 1, so we're looking for someone to take over the remainder of our lease (ends June 30) with a full lease transfer directly with our landlord.

About the apartment:
- 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath
- 2 story walkup
- Plenty of natural light, 2 balconies, spacious open concept, in-unit washer/dryer, dishwasher, responsive management, building less than 10 years old
- 5 min walk to subway
- Located in Flatbush, close to the Brooklyn College 2/5 station
- Rent: $2950/mo
- Available: June 1, 2026

Furniture situation:
We’re open to leaving some furniture for the right tenant — specifically items from our home office (desk, dresser) and some glassware.

Ideal tenant:
We’ll be helping our landlord screen candidates, rental history and verifiable income preferred. We want to make this as smooth as possible for everyone.

DM me if interested or comment below. Happy to schedule a showing this month.

Joshua Bristol is on the ballot for U.S. House of Representatives in NY Congressional District 9. The primary election will be on June 23rd.

I am the only left wing candidate out of three people who have secured ballot access.

As a DSA and Working Families Party aligned (but not officially endorsed) candidate, I aim to center tenants and workers so we can take the country back from the billionaires.

We will force corporations to unionize, tax the rich, institute a four day work week under the Fair Labor Standards Act, fight for a Green New Deal, get Medicare for All, and so much more. Joshua supports Boycott, Divest, and Sanction to stop the genocide in Gaza.
