r/woodside

Mostly just the title. I’m a sax player who moved here about a year ago. I typically go to Brooklyn if I want a place to play, but am looking to see what the scene looks like around here!

I was pretty entrenched in my scene back in my old city, and have been having trouble getting motivated to play lately. Would love someplace to play/some folks to play with that’s a bit more convenient than Brooklyn/Manhattan.

Suggestions welcome!

Hi neighbors!

I'm interested in helping the feral cat community of Sunnyside and thought we could accomplish more together!

Do organizations exist that focus on Sunnyside feral community? I'm connected with a few organizations (LIC & Woodside) but there appears to be a gap in Sunnyside specifically.

If you're interested in combining forces (especially if you have experience with this already), I'd like to hear from you!!

Note to mods: I believe I posted according to the sub rules, but please let me know if this falls outside of this sub. Thank you!

Now that the weather’s getting nicer, I was curious if there are any other roller skaters in the neighborhood(s).

I went on a nice long skate today to Queensbridge Park and realized I’ve honestly never seen another skater out on the streets while I’m skating around. Not sure if there just aren’t many skaters around here or if I’ve somehow missed everyone.

Either way, I’d love to try and start up some weekly skate sessions if people are interested in casual group skates, meeting new people, getting outside, etc.

If that sounds like something you’d be into, let me know and I’d be happy to try to make it happen!

So many other neighborhoods have their local group rides, but there seems to be little active for Woodside.

Are there others here who would be interested in getting a regular group ride going to do Central Park laps in the AM? Thinking a meetup at Tower Square on Northern Bvld, and then it's an almost straight shot to the park.

I'm a fast B, slow A rider as per NYCC and GrNY

A young adult man was hit and run by a vehicle between 8am and 8:45am at the intersection of Woodside Ave and 38 Ave right around here. If you saw it, caught the plates or have any security footage from that time on May 12, please message me.

I'll be moving to Woodside in a few weeks. I'm looking for regular pickup soccer matches in Woodside/Sunnyside. I've looked into Goodrec, etc, plus formal leagues in Astoria. I'm looking as much for a community of players than just playing. Does anyone know of any matches in the Woodside area? I know there are a few soccer pitches close by that don't show up on Goodrec. Oh, and I'm 37 M and a decent skill level, but also on the wrong side of 30. Thanks!

Hi neighbors!

I’m a Sunnyside native and former Spanish teacher at a NYC public school. I’m currently offering 1-on-1 Spanish conversation sessions for anyone who wants to actually use the language rather than just study it.

The Approach:

• No Textbooks/No Homework: This is 100% focused on getting you comfortable speaking. 
• Real Talk: We’ll chat about current events, neighborhood life, or your hobbies—whatever keeps the conversation flowing. 
• Expert Backup: Because I studied Spanish Literature and taught in the NYC school system, I can quickly explain why something is said a certain way if you get stuck, then get right back into the flow.

The Details:

• Rate: $20/hour (Online only via Zoom/Google Meet). 
• Who it’s for: People who know some Spanish but feel "frozen" when it’s time to speak.

If you’re tired of apps and just want to practice talking in a relaxed, friendly environment, send me a message!

¡Hablamos pronto!

Looking for a roommate for June 1st in Sunnyside. It is a 2 bedroom apartment on 49th street between 43rd ave and Skillman. The room is very large, fits a queen sized bed, desk, shelves, with plenty of floor space left over and a large closet. The rent is $1400 (same as deposit) plus utilities, internet and electric which are usually between $75 - $100 per person, maybe a little more in the summer running A/Cs. There is a large living room and furniture is welcome.

I am a 37 years old guy and my roommate is moving out at end of the month. I work 12-8 most days and I am a musician sometimes and worked as a chef for a long time. I’m very relaxed and open to all types of people, although I do prefer living with clean and respectful people over all else or course. If you’re interested I will send pics or just set up a viewing and meet and greet. Cheers.

Have been looking for Open Play sessions in Queens. I know there's some deep in Queens but I'm looking for more in LIC, Woodside, Sunnyside, Astoria, etc.

I've seen GoodRec by BQE Fitness but they don't seem to fill up or if they do, people drop out at the last minute. And they're mostly capped at 14 so it's not fun when it ends up being less than 10 people in the end.

I also recently came across Big City Open Play sessions in LaGuardia Community College in LIC but it also doesn't fill up for some reason. I wonder why since they have 24 spots per session..

Any other places I can try?
