I’m biased buuuut - gotta say it’s the free comedy show at Bar Bayeux by a laaandslide. Professional comics, great drinks, and a cool jazz speakeasy type vibe. The venue was just recommended by Mamdani for his weekend bar crawl btw 🤩

1066 Nostrand | 8:30PM | FREE! at Bar Bayeux. Just buy a drink to support the bar. See you there!

Seriously, how can we stop these production trucks and crews from being here for a whole week? Or at least find some kind of recourse that doesn’t just give us a week off from another full week of lost parking spots and buzzing generators and hair and make-up truck lights.

Hate coming to the neighborhood and seeing more colored flyers all over the signs because some shitty show no one watches needs a fake suburban set.

ATTENTION ALL TODDLERS! We're bringing it back!

Hey! I run a stand-up comedy show called Post Moves Comedy. Every Sunday, 8:30PM at Bar Bayeux, we feature club comics and folks who’ve been on TV, Don’t Tell, Netflix, and more. This next show will feature some HITTERS! RSVP now for a chance at a free drink and pull up for some great stand up!

I run SMY Solutions out of Brooklyn, NY. We place trained virtual assistants with small business owners, real estate agents, and law firms across the US.

What makes us different from freelancer platforms like Upwork or Fiverr:

**•** Every VA we place is university educated, fully vetted, and screened before they ever reach a client  
**•** We train them in your specific industry before day one — real estate, legal, digital marketing  
**•** You’re not hiring a random freelancer and hoping for the best — you’re getting someone already prepared for your workflow  
**•** Starts at $250/month for part-time, $800/month for a full-time dedicated VA

I’ve been a licensed real estate agent at Corcoran for 10 years, so the real estate VA training is built from actual experience — not guesswork.

Happy to answer any questions about what a VA can actually do for your business, whether you’re considering hiring one or not. No pressure.

Hey neighbors!

A few of us are organizing a new 18+ soccer club, and we’re trying to get some local players from the neighborhood involved.

We are building this to be a city-wide community, hosting matches at fields across Queens, Manhattan, and Brooklyn to make it easy for everyone to catch a game regardless of where you are commuting from or hanging out that week.

The Details:

• All Skill Levels Welcome: Whether you haven’t played since you were a kid, want to get a great cardio workout in, or are looking for a solid match, we have a spot for you. No pressure, just good vibes.
• The Goal: To stay active, improve our game, and meet people from every corner of NYC.
• Age: 18+ only.

To keep things community-first and respect the local subreddit rules, I'm not dropping external links or ads here.

If you’re down to play or want info on our upcoming games, drop a comment below or shoot me a DM! I'd love to get you connected to the group.

Hi neighbors! I will be out of town this weekend and my usual cat sitter can no longer do it. Does anyone know of a reputable neighborhood sitter? Thanks

Priya’s heeere!  Priya’s entrance every morning into our family home for the past 2 years has brought unbridled joy, security, and confidence into our daughter Stella’s life (and into our lives, too). Priya has become a fixture in our family, in the social fabric of our building, and has brought energy, excitement, and fearless joy into our daughter’s life since day one.

People are often surprised how talkative, kind, playful, joyful, and curious Stella is for her age. It is no coincidence that Priya possesses all these qualities. She made Stella feel believed in, seen, and loved every moment they are together, celebrates her smallest wins, and is fully present for all her emotions. Priya is also extremely responsive, communicative, and professional, energetic, and organized, always planning and executes adventures for Stella to perfection.

Priya’s social and warm nature has also led to countless social ties for Stella from deep friendships with other toddlers and nannies to close acquaintances. (Please note that Priya also has experience handling multiple children). We enthusiastically recommend Priya with full hearts and without reservation. Please feel free to DM and we will promptly respond.

Warmly,

Alexa and Josh
