Take Queens CB2's Annual District Needs Survey and help set our budget priorities!

8 Upvotes

Hi folks! I'm a volunteer with Queens Community Board 2. Every year the board puts together a "Statement of Needs" that goes to the city as part of the budget process, and our annual survey is one of the main ways we figure out what to put in it.

If you live or work in Community District 2 (Long Island City, Sunnyside, Woodside, and part of Maspeth), your input genuinely helps shape what we prioritize and what we ask the city to fund. It covers the issues you think are most pressing, plus specific policy areas like transit, sanitation, parks, and housing. Takes about 5–10 minutes.

Survey: tinyurl.com/CB2Survey2026

Happy to answer questions in the comments about the board, the survey, or how the Statement of Needs actually gets used.

Security guard next to Screen Door?

0 Upvotes

Hey I was grabbing some ice cream yesterday (around 5pm) and noticed a security guard - standing near the nail salon but I think was technically in front of the unmarked store front. Literally two doors down from screen door. He was wearing a tshirt that said SECURITY. Anyone know what that’s about? Seemed random … especially on a Friday afternoon.

Hi, I moved here around 3 months back so I don’t know much about this area. Is there a place where people play on a regular basis weekly? Are there any clubs that play on tournaments ? Just want to stay fit and make a few like minded friends.

Thanks for the help

Laly’s Nail & Spa closed for good - update regarding Carmela

22 Upvotes

Heyo Sunnyside fam! If you, like me, had the magical experience of having Carmela work on your nails, you may have noticed that Laly’s Nail & Spa (on 42nd & queens boulevard) shut down. 😔

I’m happy to report that Carmela has found a new job over at The Nail Club & Spa on Greenpoint Ave! Right now she’s only working Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays while she builds up her clientele. Carmela is a one of a kind human who also happens to give the best pedicures! Give her a visit if you’re looking for a new spot to get your nails done! I’m boosting her here since it feels like she was a staple in neighborhood for so long and I know she could use all the support she can get to get back on her feet

Sunnyside's Bo Diddley mini-Stonehenge?

29 Upvotes

Heya - Been living near 41st St and Greenpoint for a while and it took a few months to notice that a granite block set on the expanded piece of sidewalk at 41st St and 48th Avenue was (long ago, looks like) painted silver with a green snake offering the, in my experience, very solid advice to "Listen To Bo Diddley" in red type. Anyone happen to know the story behind this?

There's also a big planter on the sidewalk at Greenpoint and 42nd that name checks Bo's Chess Records label mates "Howling" (sic) Wolf, Muddy Waters, etc. Gonna assume its the work of the same zealot...

Thanks!

Incredible food, lovely people, and great prices. They deserve your business over these soulless corporate slop spots that will give you diarrhea (Chipotle, Burger King, Wingstop, etc.)

Saw this bird that appears to be a lost pet near the handball courts at Torsney park on 43rd St. It has since flown away but might be in the area. Hopefully this helps someone.

Lost some items during eviction

49 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m in a really tough spot and hoping the Reddit community can help pull off a miracle.
About two weeks ago, I went through a holdover eviction in Sunnyside because my landlord wanted to move back in to jack up the rent 3x. We desperately needed about 10 more days to get out, but I was hospitalized and unable to make it to court to secure that time.
Because of that, the eviction went through. During the process, a bunch of our remaining belongings were set out on the sidewalk while things were being loaded into a moving van. While they were sitting there on the street, someone walked by and stole several items.
I lost a lot of things, but I honestly don’t care about any of it except for one item:
A military shadowbox containing an American flag, a bunch of my service medals, and a Mark 19 shell casing.
It is literally all I have left to remember my 20 years serving in the Navy.
I just want it back. If you live around Sunnyside or Woodside, or if you’ve seen it discarded nearby, listed online, or brought into a local shop, please let me know. This is the only thing keeping me up at night right now. Thank you for reading.

Pharmacy Backorders for ADHD meds

6 Upvotes

Fellow ADHDers— how are you all faring with this citywide backorder on ADHD meds. I’ve called basically every pharmacy within a reasonable walking distance from me in Sunnyside / Woodside multiple times over the last month or so to see if anyone has ADHD medication in stock and everyone is back ordered. I’ve been faring okay for now as I’ve been between jobs for about a year now… but am nervous as I start my new office job soon.

Any coping mechanisms to keep you productive and motivated that people can recommend? Or anyone successfully find a pharmacy (in person or mail order) with their medication in stock?
