My dad owns a small Puerto Rican restaurant in the Park Slope/Gowanus area called Kiosko 787, and things have been a bit tough lately. It’s a cozy spot serving authentic Puerto Rican food, and I genuinely think it’s one of the best in NYC. Their mofongo is my absolute favorite highly recommend it and everything on the menu is made with a lot of care. If you’re looking for a great local place to eat, I’d really appreciate it if you stopped by and gave it a try. Supporting small family owned businesses like his really makes a difference.

I don't know if she lives here, if she was dumped or if she was waiting for someone.

She jumped right in my lap and continued sunbathing.

I was wondering if anyone knew her situation? If she was claimed, unclaimed, anything like that?

ETA: I'm very relieved to hear that this cat is a member of a cared for colony at IC. Thanks to anyone who chimed in

i was followed by this guy from 41st and 3rd to 38th and 4th. he was riding his bike and stopped to stare at me then proceeded to follow me after making it clear i noticed him. he only stopped when he saw me talking to cops but i have no doubt he would have followed me to the train station on 36th. stay safe.

Going to lean into the alliteration here and say: Flynn is friendly, and fluffy, and fosterless.

His story is also super sad. A Sunset Park family was breeding cats and as you can imagine, the situation spiraled. They had 20 cats in an apartment and, to prevent more babies, they singled out the 10 boys and dumped them on the street. These are housecats that have no idea how to survive outside, they just kept following people around, hoping someone would scoop them up. Flynn is one of the 10 and is desperate to get out of a crate and curl up on your couch. Please reach out if you're interested in fostering!

Finance bros are taking over already expensive Park Slope and what's intersesting about this article is this quote "The developer that’s buying the building doesn’t want us in here. It’s a bummer after 36 years,” Moore said. “It’s the times. When we moved in here, this neigborhood was primarily working class families. It’s not now. Sunset Park, which is now currently working class families, might be the demographic that we fit in with.”

The displaced Park Slopers are eyeing Sunset Park as the obvious next destination.

The one place you can recreate this scene in NYC. The only difference is we have a real streetlight.

God I’m sure plenty of people have complained. I’ve been in the neighborhood for a few years. Rarely end up at industry city other than for Sahadi’s, but we had a friend visiting who wanted to check it out. I checked hours and we thought we had till 8 to get food at most places. By 7:10 everything was already closed up. With the fight that the community put up to keep this place away….i just can’t comprehend why they would cater it only to the employees around IC and not try to give the actual local community enjoyment of the space as well.

That’s all ugh

The Sunset was crazy today because of the poor air quality and elevated ozone pollution. On the plus side this made the sun a surreal color. The sun was bloody red. No filter. There were an insane amount of hipsters in the park too.

i live across the street, i come to this place often, there was a guy walking his dog, the dog pooped on the ground, the owner went to pick it up with his plastic bag but it was takign him a while to unravel the bag. he eventually picks it up as he throws it away the guy from this store kicked the dog so hard it squeeled. the owner of the dog screamed in spanish but he walked away after the on the rocks guy was yelling about how he would call ICE. i confronted the guy and he ran back into his store. i walked down to the precinct on 29th and filed an official report.

sorry to the guy whose dog got kicked. i hate this owner, this store, this whole establishment. my blood is boiling.

Hi all, I made a wood block print as a tribute to one of the most beautiful places in Brooklyn, Green-Wood Cemetery.

Hey there,

This subreddit had been made restricted and abandoned for over 4 years, but I was just able to get it unlocked via r/redditrequest.

I'm a mod over at r/movingtoNYC, and am a lifelong New Yorker. I don't want to monopolize moderation of this subreddit, and think it should be shaped communally, so I want to seek community input as we reactivate things here.

One initial thought: The Sunset Post recently launched and it's an amazing trilingual format: Chinese, English and Spanish. This reflects the linguistic reality of our neighborhood, and I think it would be cool if this subreddit could support this, rather than defaulting to English only. Personally, English is my first language and I can read Spanish, but it would be great to also have some mods who have their first language as Chinese or Spanish as well, just to make sure that our bases are covered.

Hola,

Este subreddit había estado restringido y abandonado durante más de 4 años, pero acabo de conseguir desbloquearlo a través de r/redditrequest.

Soy moderador de r/movingtoNYC y neoyorquino de toda la vida. No quiero monopolizar la moderación de este subreddit y creo que debería gestionarse de forma comunitaria, así que me gustaría recabar la opinión de la comunidad para reactivar la actividad aquí.

Una idea inicial: El periódico Sunset Post se lanzó recientemente y tiene un formato trilingüe increíble: chino, inglés y español. Esto refleja la realidad lingüística de nuestro barrio, y creo que sería genial que este subreddit lo apoyara, en lugar de limitarse solo al inglés. Personalmente, el inglés es mi lengua materna y puedo leer español, pero sería estupendo contar también con moderadores cuya lengua materna sea el chino o el español, para asegurarnos de cubrir todas las necesidades.

大家好，

这个 subreddit 已经限制访问并被弃用四年多了，但我刚刚通过 r/redditrequest 成功解锁了它。

我是 r/movingtoNYC 的版主，也是一位土生土长的纽约客，过去十年一直住在日落公园。我不想垄断这个 subreddit 的管理权，我认为它应该由社区共同建设，所以我希望在重新启用这个 subreddit 的过程中征求大家的意见。

我的一个初步想法是：Sunset Post 最近上线了，它采用了一种很棒的三语模式：中文、英文和西班牙文。这反映了我们社区的语言现状，我认为如果这个 subreddit 也能支持这种模式，而不是默认只使用英语，那就太好了。就我个人而言，英语是我的母语，我也会读西班牙语，但如果能有一些以中文或西班牙语为母语的版主加入，那就更好了，这样可以确保我们能够更好地服务社区。

It's been up for as long as I've lived here, about 10 years

So sad. Heard it from the neighbors the cause was an explosion from one of those lithium-ion batteries inside the unit.

We live on 59th Street, 7th Ave so this was right by our home. Photo I took tonight in the comments

I know the people who reopened this subreddit did it in good faith, but it's obvious that there's people on this sub, Baldilocks in particular, who only use it as a platform to fearmonger. 90% of this guy's posts are about crimes or perceived crimes by people of black or Hispanic descent. The only time he posts is when he can use it as an opportunity to attack local politicians on the left. I know this guy is Asian btw, likely Chinese American judging by his comment history before he wiped it, and he never posts or comments on any criminal stories when it pertains to Asians, only Latinos and Blacks. And when the perpetrators are unnamed, such as the issue with the trash build up in Sunset Park, he blames "the undocumented immigrants" by default without any proof. Let's just call a duck a duck here, this guy is using this sub to drive up far right sentiment. There's no attempt to build community, no sharing of things to do or places to eat. Nothing positive comes out of this account. His only aim is to be divisive. If the mods are ok with letting this sort of content take over this sub, they might as well close it.

I was walking along and saw this insane phenomenon from the park. It was in the news too. Apparently, it's ice crystals. Looks like a tear in the space time continuum.

Not sure if this is common knowledge, but 36th Street will be getting elevators and a new northern entrance in the coming years. I'm sure the work will be disruptive but I think it will be a great improvement.

Grew up in Sunset Park my whole, only moved last year to Bay Ridge! However this year I got to experience my lifelong dream, I attended the opening game of the World Cup!! Then a game in Canada! And will be attending the Finale!! Never woulda guessed someone from the neighborhood would make it here…. Lead alone me of all people….. dreams do come true!!
