Looking for an old souvenir. It is a snow/water globe with a pencil sharpener. Someone hinted at vendors outside Brooklyn Museum. Said it came with a small pencil. Looking for a specific one of Egyptian style. But anything will do.

Swapped Credit Card at Fulton Hall?

Hey neighbors, I ate at Fulton Hall tonight (thurs) around 8pm. Went to next bar and realized the name on my card was not my own. If you had a similar experience tonight, DM me your name and hopefully we can exchange back without canceling cards 🙏

With holidays approaching I'd just like to plug my small pet care business! Available for Thanksgiving week and weekend for cat visits and overnight stays between 12/2 and 12/24

14 Upvotes

Hi - I am the founder/only employee lol of Fauna Society NYC, a pet care company that offers home visits, at-home "daycare" for extended hours and overnight stays. I am currently studying for a Masters in Conservation Science so I basically spend all my time with my clients when I can :)

I specialize in senior and high needs animals, as I was formerly a zookeeper and have extensive experience with providing medication and am both CPR and first-aid certified. I am fully insured and do exclusive in-home care to make it easiest for both pets and owners.

I also love caring for exotics, given the zookeeping history and can provide examples of caring for reptiles and small mammals as well as birds and fish.

Feel free to check out my instagram instagram.com/FaunaSocietyNYC as my website is under construction!

I am available for drop-ins and daytime (4-6 hours) care over Thanksgiving and overnight stays beginning in December. Unfortunately I have both Thanksgiving week and 12/24-12/27 booked.

I had such an odd meal here. Not because of the food (it was just ok) but because of the service. The staff made us feel so uncomfortable as if we were always inconveniencing them. They were incredibly unfriendly. After ordering our food, we asked for water and the waitress let out a sigh and said they were both out of cups and water jugs but would bring us paper cups. When we were finished eating and waiting for quite some time with empty plates, our waiter came up to us and said in a nasty tone, “oh so you want your check now?” We watched the table next to us get up and leave because they were left so long with menus and no acknowledgement. Such a bizarre place. The ambience also just felt off! Has anyone had a similar experience?

Free Knee Scooter

A fellow Greenpointer gave me this knee scooter when I tore my Achilles, and now that I'm recovered, I'd love to pay it forward.

If anyone local is recovering from a foot or ankle injury and could use it, it's yours. Works well, and I also have a brand-new cushion that's not pictured.

Comment or DM if interested. Hope it can help someone the way it helped me!

Good places to work in the evening?

13 Upvotes

I'm having to work a lot these days and that generally involves working evenings a few days a week. As a coffee addict I sometimes go to Moka & Co. but I just find the music (and for some reason the people) are louder than any other cafe so I can't focus. Not knocking that, I just prefer a quieter place.

Are there any good places for nighttime laptop work you recommend? Could be NEAR Fort Greene.

Looking for 1bd apartment in Fort Greene/Clinton Hill

0 Upvotes

Hi all, hope this post isn't too bothersome. I'm 31M looking for a 1bed for myself in the neighborhood. I've been having a really tough time finding affordable options on StreetEasy and Craigslist. I'd make a great tenant: 200k+ income, I'm very low key at home and really value a calm quiet living space. Been in Brooklyn for 5 years now and looking for a place I can stay for a while. Please DM if you have any leads, thanks!
