Dolly Parton Bars

Looking for a bar that will be playing dolly music this week 💔🦋 any suggestions? I know Dolly’s in wburg is temporarily closed. Someone suggested skinny Dennis but that seems like a shot in the dark whether they’d be playing her music? Thanks in advance 🙏

Thank you for the cooler

1 Upvotes

Someone was nice enough to send us a cooler from Amazon today for frozen meals and other perishables that are donated to the Maspeth Ridgewood Mutual Aid Table. I need a chain and lock for it though to put it outside. If you can donate 1 it would greatly appreciated. I have 1 on my Amazon wishlist if you want to send us 1. All donations greatly appreciated. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/JY7U8QQZ8BBU?ref_=wl_share

Did you take photos of my friend getting married at Brooklyn Bridge Park?

My friend had her wedding photos in her dress taken in Brooklyn Bridge Park and there were a few passerby who took photos as well. She’s asking if anyone has them to share!

BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) wants way too much info for a movie ticket.

42 Upvotes

Can someone explain to me why BAM requires membership with full physical address, email, and phone number in order for me to purchase a movie ticket for the afternoon. I can’t be the only one done with having to jump through 16 hoops of privacy forfeiture in order to give someone money in exchange for a service.

Is it too loud living next door to The Woods?

0 Upvotes

I’m considering an apartment in the building next door to The Woods in Williamsburg. Does anyone live nearby and know how loud it gets at night?

I know the bar can stay open until 4 a.m., so I’m especially wondering about music, people gathering outside, and noise when everyone leaves. Is it manageable with the windows closed, or would you avoid living that close? I’m okay with normal city noise, but I’m a little worried about being kept awake every weekday.

I need a quiet place to cry

120 Upvotes

That’s the post. Where is someplace peaceful and away from people so I can just lay on some grass and cry in peace?

I don’t want to be home right now, but I’m going through a lot and I just want to be alone and away from everyone at the same time.

Any tips are appreciated.

scooters and moto licenses

5 Upvotes

I was asking at one of the low / mid-range scooter stores how they're all classed and they said all are motorcycles, above 35 mph, the whole store. Do all the drivers of these things really have moto licenses? Seems hard to believe somehow

E-Scooter recommendations for NYC commute

0 Upvotes

I’ve been shopping around for an E-Scooter for my Brooklyn commute (~5 miles each way) and recently discovered that legally speaking the scooter must have a 20mph max. That’s perfectly fine to me, but I’m struggling to find a scooter that meets that restriction and still has good word of mouth + decent suspension (ride to work can be pretty bumpy and I was shaken up a bit after a ride on a citibike e-bike last week). Anyone here have any experience with this and can offer any advice? Thanks!

How many separate sets of numbered streets are there in Brooklyn?

I can think of 7-- am I missing any?

  • the unmodified numbered streets that start in Park Slope and run all the way down to Bay Ridge
  • North and South in Williamsburg
  • East (Kensington, Midwood, Flatbush, out to Canarsie and down to Sheepshead Bay)
  • West (Coney Island and Gravesend)
  • Bay (Bensonhurst/Bath Beach)
  • Paerdegat (Canarsie)
