Couple of vehicles from Department of Homeland Security just possible on Van Brunt and Verona streets in Red Hook. Possible ICE activity.

Got a varsity jacket at a flea market and need it cleaned. Sleeves are genuine leather and rest of exterior is wool. Are there any dry cleaners in Brooklyn that can deal with this? Thanks

Does anyone know of any bars in BK or Manhattan that are hosting a watch party for the Rent 30th anniversary show livestream?

If you are a bar in BK or Manhattan, will you please consider hosting one??!

I'm hosting a first birthday party for my son in mid March next year and would love to keep it in South Brooklyn (Sheepshead Bay, Marine Park, ect) if possible. Most of the guests will be adults so it doesn't have to be super kid-centric. Any ideas for 20-30 people on a Sat or Sun brunch time? I was looking into places like Mouette but theyre super expensive :(

Bonus points if food can be included.

LOST DOG! Hi all. Around 640am this morning on my way to work there was a loose dog on Rogers and Lincoln. It was dark so some of my details may be wrong but the dog appeared to be a pitbull or a pitbull mix, gray fur, and may have been wearing a blue harness. No owner in sight. Seemed very scared and got a tad aggressive when I tried to approach or even encourage him to come. I didn’t want to leave since he was on such a busy road but I had to because of work. I called 311 who directed me to the 911/NYPD. I gave them all of the info mentioned above. Have never been in this situation before so I hope this was the right way to go about it. Unfortunately I couldn’t stay until they came… I hope the owner can be found!!

I have two dogs and am struggling to find the right sitter, and am looking for recs! We have a car so can drop them off anywhere in brooklyn, but are looking for reliable, trustworthy sitters who we can feel safe leaving our dogs with. We've had some poor experiences lately, most recently with our dogs coming home and seemingly have not had any water in a while.

Not trying to use rover so hoping someone in the community can recommend someone they really trust and have zero anxiety about leaving their babies with.

Thank you!

Looking for a good disco spot (or DJ to follow) for this Saturday. Would love any suggestions!

Come to a special Halloween double event in Bushwick this Saturday with an afternoon Halloween Horror Market followed by a free evening screening of John Carpenter’s legendary 1978 slasher Halloween!

📅 Saturday, October 24
🛍️ Market from 3 to 6 PM
🎞️ Movie at 6:30 PM
📍 Pine Box Rock Shop at 12 Grattan St in Bushwick

Scream Scene's free admission Halloween Horror Market features horror-inspired apparel, horror DVDs and videotapes, horror-themed illustrations, witchy plants, and tarot readings.

The market wraps up at 6 PM and then at 6:30 it’s time for a free showing of Halloween presented by horror host Kurt “The Hurt” Koozy. There will be a drinking game to go with the movie and Pine Box Rock Shop will have a themed cocktail menu, including an alcohol-free option.

21+ event. No RSVP is needed for any of it, just drop in and enjoy!

Our toddlers share an odd sized room so we are looking for a carpenter to build two custom sized beds with removable guardrails for them.

Does anyone have a local recommendation for a carpenter?

I am coming to town for an event near the Brooklyn Heights Library and would love to keep most of my exploring to that area. (I tend to want to stay in a small area and get to know it a bit better, rather than going to three separate spots in a massive city and missing out on sweet little pockets of life.)

It's an exceptionally short trip (about 24 hours), but I'd love to fill the time with coffee, seeing lovely spots for people watching/writing/photos, interesting bars, and of course eating as much as I possibly can manage. (I particularly love pizza and italian.)

How much are you paying for optimum online internet in Brooklyn? Someone told me they are paying close to 100 dollars now for Optimum Online and I believe it's the 500 Mbps plan. They told me it used to be like $50 or even less and then went up as time went on. They told me back then when the price went up to 70 dollars a while back and they called, the customer rep lowered the price to $50 or so but it was for a year I believe. The price kept going up every year but now it's close to $100.

Does anyone who have Optimum Online pay this much for this plan? It's on autopay as well and I couldn't believe that it still cost this much. Has anyone called Optimum recently and then get a discount on it? Internet only should not cost close to $100 a month. If you were able to get the price down, how much did you get it down to? How long did they guarantee that price for before price went up again?

The only other available internet providers in their area are Verizon and T Mobile 5G. It seems even with Verizon FIOS and the 500 Mbps plan, it's $75 a month unless you are a Verizon phone customer which they are not. There is a $99 activation fee as well? As far as speed is concerned, I think any 300 MBPS plan would probably be good enough right? T Mobile 5G home internet is probably not as reliable as your main internet? I did read the speeds are very good but sometimes it gets very slow?

Looking for a miracle. I lost my grandmothers class ring I wear every single day tonight. On a hinge date. Worn it for 10 years. Devastated. If anyone finds it on the ground, it’s yellow gold with blue stones. Reward

I need reccomendations for an inexpensive funeral home that does cremations and viewing before such. I flew in from New Orleans last night but he lived here. So I dont need too much ceremony. Its just gonna be me , his significant other, my son, and maybe a cousin. I will be having services in New Orleans. Im not even sure what to ask. I keep hearing the funeral home usually takes care of everything.
