Hi all,
Not super familiar with LIC, but figured it was a good equidistant spot for my date and I.
Need some recommendations for date spots that are cozy, intimate, good lighting, maybe candles on the table. That kind of thing. It can range from anything from dive bars to high end cocktail spots.
I know this is a long shot, but here goes. To the lady this post is meant for, we met yesterday around 5:30 pm inside this Carribean themed party event in a desolate part of LIC.
My friend had invited me to this gathering, where there was lots of pink powder and paint being thrown everywhere, it was insane. I never seen anything like it before
You and your girls pulled up together, I pulled up with my friend. You and I both locked eyes and smiled at each other. I told you how much I liked your goggles and we began talking.
You were holding a Grenadian flag, looking like a full course meal, clearly cornbread fed, in those kinky pink fishnets, while doing a dutty wine on me. I really like you. If you see this post and have the intuition to reach out to me, I appreciate it. Thank you for the dance and your time <3
Hi folks - just wanted to post here at let you know that I've recently opened a new savoury pot pie business based in Long Island City.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if there’s a WhatsApp group for residents of TFC on Centre Blvd?
Hi everyone! I am subleasing in LIC for a month before moving to another borough bc my actual place starts in August.
Is anyone giving away a TABLE OR CHAIR? It can be any quality I don’t really mind!!
The unit comes unfurnished and since it’s only for a month, I don’t want to purchase a new table/chair and have to deal with moving it as well, as I am only bringing 2 suitcases to up and go once the sublease ends!
Tbh prioritizing having a table to put my stuff on or do work on, or a chair. Moving in TOMORROW NOON! So any leads appreciated!!
Does anyone know how I can get rid of a tv and a printer? Tv works partially (some picture quality issues) and the printer is untested. Ideally somewhere close so that I don’t have to pay for a cab or for recycling.
Bit of a long shot, but did anyone snag the Netherlands magnet that wants to trade for South Korea?

Hey Everyone,
I'm considering moving to LIC and we visited Dutch House. It is close to my jobs (less than 20 minutes). I’ve read some unsavory reviews, and I was just wondering if there was anyone that could give us a realistic picture of what it is/was like to live there. As well how's the noise insulation especially living half a block away from the N/W? Thanks in advance!
Obligatory disclaimer: We are in a heat wave, and this is absolutely not a complaint about any individual delivery drivers, who are busting their ass in sauna-like temps. This is about FreshDirect’s choices and operational collapse.
It seems FreshDirect quietly stopped using refrigerated trucks and drivers for the vast majority of deliveries to Long Island City / Hunter’s Point (and likely elsewhere). This shift from their own crews to gig workers in personal vehicles happened a while ago, but it has ramped up recently. Now that it's summer, the change is having serious consequences.
My past few orders have arrived with spoiled perishables, meat, and dairy. My order today arrived an hour past its 1 to 3 p.m. window. It was delivered out of the back of a personal, unrefrigerated car in 100-degree weather.
Because the order sat in a hot car for hours, the perishable items were completely ruined:
The entire value proposition for FreshDirect was convenience and also quality, reliability, and consistency. Their meats and produce were typically vastly superior to the grocery stores in pretty much every neighborhood I’ve lived in, with lots of local suppliers. Even if that remains true at the warehouse, it is now a crapshoot as to whether that quality will actually reach your home. Someone who is not paying attention might receive spoiled groceries like I did, put them away, and then use them later and ultimately get sick. Maybe that is what it will take for FreshDirect to pay attention.
It seems this change is in part due to union busting, which on its own is enough to make me walk away after nearly 20 years. A predictable, wasteful outcome of letting private equity fleece yet another business to the detriment of its customers, employees, and community.
Braved the Heat to capture these 🥵
