🤔 paid for a dental filling and now they're saying I need 4 more

so I went in a few weeks ago for one dental filling, paid out of pocket, thought I was done. went back for a checkup yesterday and now suddenly I need 4 more?? same dentist, same xrays from literally weeks ago.

how did they miss 4 cavities the first time? or did I just not have them then? I don't understand how this works but something feels really off.

I'm not going back to this place but now I'm paranoid about starting over somewhere new and being told the same thing all over again. just want someone honest who will actually look at my teeth and tell me what's real.

does anyone have a dentist they trust in Williamsburg or nearby? 🙏

Haircut around or under $100?

I have long straight thin hair and get simple haircuts but feel like every salon is just so expensive! Any good recs for slightly more affordable salons in Williamsburg/greenpoint?

Yet another LIDL post

What the fuck is going on. It's been what, 14 months since "coming soon" was posted on this damn building.

I understand it takes time but this seems egregious.

Good restaurant to take out of town friends to?

Hi, I moved to Williamsburg recently but still am getting a lay of the land. I have some friends coming into town this weekend and I wanna take them somewhere good for dinner but don’t want to break the bank. I’m looking for $20-30 a person. Great vibe would be a massive plus! I’ve been to Recette and loved it but that would be probably in the bracket above at $30-40 a person.
Thanks!

June Hobby Guide: looking to fill some gaps...

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 😄

Jose’s Deli on Franklin seems to have dumped their cat (in bad shape)

I know Jose’s Deli on the north end of Franklin got new ownership recently. Apparently the cat did not make the transition, as they dumped her outside last night. Not in great condition.

A reminder that bodega cats don’t usually live the lives that people like to glamorize on socials.

App that tracks which blocks you've walked

I've always wanted to walk every block of the city but knew the overhead of tracking those walks would be a pain, so over the last couple months I made an app that checks off each block once you've walked it. Some friends wanted to try it so I just uploaded it to the App Store.

It works for all 5 boroughs and you can turn on passive tracking so that your blocks are tracked without opening the app. There's also a leaderboard so you can see how your stats compare to other New Yorkers.

The app is called WalkNYC and it's completely free. It's only on iOS right now but I'm looking into porting it to Android. Would love any feedback you all have!

Here's the link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/walknyc-walk-every-block/id6758922428

If you want/need cut flowers, get yourself to Trader Joe's

Thanks to the Jewish holiday of Shavuot on Friday, TJ's has the most cut flowers I have ever seen in that store. It's a floral wonderland in there!

Food Cart Overcharge

Hi everyone,

I bought a hot dog for $6 from a cart outside of Brooklyn Steel in Greenpoint/Williamsburg last Friday, and the next day they added an unauthorized $60 tip. The transaction has gone through to Haddida Halal Foods. Has anyone had a similar experience with a vendor at this location, or to Haddida Halal Foods, or knows whether the same vendors show up for each event at Brooklyn Steel? I'm trying to dispute with my bank but I need to show some proof of contact, or purchase, or similar experiences from others. I really cannot afford a $66 hot dog lol.

Thanks in advance!!

Can we as people stop claiming black on black crime? it is just crime.

It’s only brought to demonize black people. In addition other races have a wicked history then black people ever had. Also, white have they own gangs and so do Asians but never promoted as serious as black people even though is probably worse.
