Where are some decent bars one can find down to earth people? Not looking for rooftops per se but also not a sketchy dive bar. Open to someone joining if interested.

It looked like 🧊 agents were near the 7 train Queensboro plaza today around 9:20. Stay safe friends 💙

We will fill the Babylon line and you can’t stop us all

This will be Long Islands Area 51 raid

We will peacefully refuse to buy/activate tickets

And sit on the train

Edit:

The second we organize as a community we can make the LIRR “free”

They literally can’t write us all a summons

The more people in on this the easier it is

**thanks for the dms

Update: thank you for the support guys, can’t wait to make this official, we have around 70-80 people at the moment. I’m proud of the people

Hi, I'm 32F and looking to build a community of women to community garden(smiling hogshead ranch in LIC)/arts & craft in the park or quiet cafe/explore/walk/do fun things/sidequest with!

It would be lovely to have a reoccurring thing to eventually see familiar faces 😄. Making friends as an adult has been challenging!

Really hoping for some folks to join for weekly community gardening in taking care of the garden 🍃 . It's a little scary to go by myself as there's no foot traffic there

Update - https://www.trackitforward.com/site/541129/event/1231438 Here are the details and rsvp for this friday, hope to see you there! + comment below about what you're interested in doing because this could turn into a reoccuring thing 🎉

hi all! we’re thinking of moving to the Galerie condo building in LIC. can anyone here who currently lives there or lived there before provide a review please? ie. the pros/cons and anything else to note. thanks in advance!

I have a pair of birks that need a new sole and a pair of thrifted sandals that need to be fixed, any recs are appreciated!

Hello, this is Wanda,

I've been chef for more than 10 years, working on very well know kitchens all over the world as Astrid & Gaston (Peru), Noma (Dinamarca ) Blue hill (NY) and cooking for my vegan business in Miami and always for the ones that I love.

I'm from Argentina with Italians roots and fan of Peruvian food !

I just moved to NY a month ago from Miami and I'm trying to figure it out my business and life here.

And I'm here to offer:

- Weekly subscription to my fresh made meal preps, I prepare a high protein , creative and balance meal preps for lunch and dinner for the next 5 days ( I can cook for some restrictions , but this is not personalized) (150 final price per person).

- Personalized food for your whole week ( 200 per person + ingredients )

- Private chef Plant Based dinner for a couple or groups,(160 + ingredients per person approximately)

- I also love to create tables for business meetings or wellness gathering (30- 50 per person approximately)

I'm based in Brooklyn and everything I prepared is plant based, organic ingredients, fresh, healthy and made with love :)

I cook in ceramics cookware and I used avocado oil for cooking.

I will leave you here my instagram Wandofwellness , where you can know me a little bit and see some recipes and advices .

And also you could ask my number or text me here :)

Also you can ask me for menu examples,

I will share some pictures of my favorites plates that I've been cooking lately.

Thank you !!

My current gym is a very small, kind of dinky gym. I'm talking like very old building in the suburbs, it has just what you need and literally, and I mean literally, nothing more. Locally owned, more of a long-standing neighborhood place in deep deep Queens.

I say that to mean, I'm not picky at all when it comes to gyms. So long as there are free weights, bars, squat racks, etc. and it's not too crowded, I have no other requirements. Even price isn't a concern, although of course a lower price, the better, because I don't care for amenities like a sauna room or workout classes. I don't even care about atmosphere or friendliness or whatever because I'm usually just listening to music or podcasts while I'm working out, and I don't have the social energy at 8am to talk to anyone.

My biggest preference is a place that isn't very crowded! I liked my small dinky old gym because whenever I'd go, it'd just be me, the owner, and maybe 1-2 other people.

Any suggestions or places to steer clear of? I'd likely go in the morning (8am to 10am-ish) to avoid the after work rush. I'm just looking for places to keep in mind as I apartment search in a few months.

🚨 Save Astoria Park Trees & Public Green Space from Privatization of Public Parkland🚨

Astoria Park is one of Queens’ most important public green spaces — and it’s under threat.

A new proposal would install two large seasonal tennis bubbles and a clubhouse, raising serious concerns about:

🌳 Removal of mature trees
🌿 Loss of public green space
🏢 Increased privatization of public parkland
💰 Commercial/private use of public land
👀 Major visual impact on the park landscape
🦅 Potential impact on resident hawks nesting above the tennis courts

Astoria Park should remain open, green, and fully public — not turned into a semi-private commercial facility.

There are already nearby indoor tennis options on Roosevelt Island and Randall’s Island. We don’t need to sacrifice public parkland, wildlife habitat, and open green space for more privatized development.

We need your support, it takes 2 min. 

What to do: (ideally before Wednesday, May 20th)

1. SIGN THE PETITION:

The total number of neighbors on record is what we point to when we tell Parks and our elected officials how much opposition this proposal faces. Every name makes that case stronger.

I’m an undecided voter and have been trying to figure out who I’m ultimately going to support. I would love people’s honest perspective if they keep things polite.
