I ordered a package from Zara which was shipped through laser ship . The item was reported delivered with an image at 2:22pm but when I arrived home 40 mins later there was no package (besides a lululemon package delivered after) I have a ring camera which shows the delivery driver approaching, getting out the vehicle, going around to the passenger side of the truck and then for 24 mins my ring camera disconnects. Shortly after that my lululemon package and me arriving are all captured on camera. The driver 100% used some kind of WiFi jammer to shut the camera off. I’m so pissed off as Zara refuses to refund my almost $300 order because there is a picture of it at my door. What can I do ?? I really want that driver fired I’m so upset !

So basically it’s just that I was observing the Atlantic Terminal area since I like to explore the area in hopes I can find something like In-N-Out.

My point is that I know In-N-Out is basically exclusive to the the West Coast side of the USA as I was looking for some similar places in the area that have delicious greasy food because I have a penchant for junk food.

I wanted to plug Physique Swimming at CBE in Park Slope which has wonderful Adult Beginners classes and Adult Swim Drills (Intermediate). Literally not a paid ad I just want folks to know about since I was looking for a swim drills class for years and only learned about this from some random reddit comment.

The swim drills class is awesome if you lap swim or are preparing for a triathlon and want to improve your technique. Currently I'm the only one in the group class and I'm afraid they'll cancel it for low attendance.

Hey guys, I found these 2 in a single carrier on the streets in brooklyn last year,I had a friend foster them for a almost a year but unfortunately was not able to find a home for them and I'll be taking them back on Friday 07/24, but unable to keep them long term.

I'm hoping someone can take these 2 sweet hearts, absolute angels named Matcha & Mocha, my apartment is too small to house them longer than a few days. Resources are also very tight for me

If anyone in the Brooklyn/Boroughs are interested in these 2 sisters, please reach out! (Please serious inquires only)

I have a vehicle so can bring them to you if needed. If anyone can take them this weekend or even sooner that would be great. I know the success rate of them being adopted especially together is low and it would break my heart to surrender them to a shelter.

I'd love to know about some local music acts that really impress you guys!

Hello! 👋
I’m a dental hygiene student in NYC currently looking for patients interested in a low-cost, comprehensive dental cleaning.

All appointments take place at a dental school clinic and are carefully supervised by licensed dentists and hygienists, ensuring your care is safe, thorough, and professionally guided every step of the way.

🦷 Cost & details:
• Deep Cleaning: $20
• X-rays only if needed
• Appointments are longer than a typical dental visit (around 3 hours) since we complete a full oral health assessment before treatment

What’s included:
• Oral cancer screening and head/neck exam
• Gum measurements and periodontal evaluation
• Personalized treatment plan
• Continuous instructor supervision and approval

This may be a great fit if you:
• Don’t have dental insurance
• Haven’t had a cleaning in a while
• Are looking for affordable, high-quality care
• Are okay with a longer visit for more detailed treatment

📍 Location: Downtown Brooklyn at NYC College of Technology (City Tech)

If interested, please email me at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

What is your plan?

Have it ready if it switches to warning.

Tornado Watch for NYC: Until 9:00 PM on 7/21. Favorable conditions exist for a tornado to form. Remain alert for potential warnings. www.weather.gov/okx

I live on a narrow block were double parking is common. City trucks can't pass and blow their horns disturbing us. Shouldn't they have a "hotline" number to call for a nearby traffic agent to issue a ticket?

Pocket doors are in a state of disrepair. One of the doors is off its track and will need to remove the molding around the door to fix the door completely. Looking for recommendations for restoration / fixing services. I live in Carrol gardens. Thanks in advance!

Hey r/Brooklyn,

If you've got a bit of a creative streak and a plastic model kit gathering dust, a backlog of Warhammer minis, or just want to try building something with your hands, come hang out with us this Thursday @ Sunset Park next to Industry City.

Gunpla & Chill is a free, weekly social build night. Bring your current project, grab a bench, and build alongside other local hobbyists. We have tools if you forget yours, and a full airbrush booth if you want to paint. No pressure, just good music and good company.

Details:
📅 Every Thursday | 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM
📍 4223 1st Ave, Studio 2, Sunset Park
💰 Free! (Just bring your kit and beverages for yourself)

Check out my profile bio for links to avoid spamming it here.

Newbies are 100% welcome. Just looking for a reason to get out of the house and meet some creative neighbors.

It's definitely something different from paint and sips and your local sports bar.

Hi! I'm curious whether there's any community interest in informal youth softball get-togethers at Prospect Park.

The idea is simple: a low-pressure weekly meetup where kids of any age can come throw a ball around, learn some basics, take a few swings, and spend time outside. No experience necessary, and no expectation of a big time commitment from parents or guardians.
A little about me: I'm a dad who, along with my wife (the true engine of our family), has been coaching our 12-year-old daughter for years. She's now progresssed from recreational league softball to playing for the Yankees (okay, maybe that's a bit of hyperbole, but she's currently thriving at more advanced levels nonetheless). I'd love to help other kids get a chance to try the sport in a laid-back, welcoming environment.

I'm not looking to build a travel team or create a bunch of ultra-competitive players. Maybe it's just learning how to throw and catch. Maybe it's hitting a ball farther than you thought you could. Maybe it's making a few new friends and getting some outdoor time. Whatever it becomes, the goal is to keep it positive, active, and fun.

I'm thinking of starting with a late-afternoon meetup once a week, but I'm open to ideas and seeing what kind of interest exists.

If this sounds like something your child might enjoy, or if you have questions, feedback, or suggestions, please comment or send me a message. I'd love to hear from you!

Hi all. I moved to a 70+ unit apartment building in an area of Brooklyn that I believe has two fiber optic networks available (FiOS + Optimum fiber). I had FiOS at my last place, and at my new apartment I'm already unhappy with the reliability of my Optimum cable internet. Customer service people at both Verizon and Optimum have told me that they likely have fiber infrastructure on my block, but they haven't received landlord permission to put any kind of fiber connections in/on the building.

I am curious if anyone here has ever spearheaded an effort to coordinate the landlord and ISP to get fiber into their building. My landlord seems pretty hands-off but not entirely unreachable by email. Did you fill out a petition to show the landlord that multiple tenants are interested? Did you knock on doors, start a building group chat ...? Because I'm willing to give it a try and I want to hear what worked. Cheers

My south Brooklyn 60 unit apartment building finally started complying with city law and making a compost/food-scrap bin available for residents in the basement of my building. Anybody recommend a specific kitchen compost bin for any specific reason? I start looking into this online and there are so many options my eyes glaze over and brain shuts down. We finally got roaches under control in my apartment using insect growth regulator products and really don’t want any new pest problems, and I’m not very excited about disgusting smells either. Also while I don’t think it’s required I’m pretty sure I’m going to use compostable bags/liners for a variety of reasons I won’t go into, but I know from past experiences that Biobag brand isn’t reliable and will easily shred when filled with diverse food scraps and coffee filters etc., so looking for recommendations for those.

so my regular dentist in Park Slope has been pushing me pretty hard lately to see a periodontist for some gum work and i just... idk it felt really rushed yknow 😅

like she barely explained anything before basically telling me i need to get this done. i don't doubt something might be going on with my gums but i just dont feel comfortable committing to anything without getting a proper second opinion first.

also not gonna lie, some of her recent work has left me feeling a bit iffy so that doesnt help lol

anyone in Brooklyn have a periodontist they actually trust? someone who actually takes their time and explains whats going on properly 🙏

Does anyone have any good experiences with getting a valve lash/adjustment from any shops in brooklyn? Thank you!

Ciao!

I’m looking for a penpal of sorts, someone to practice language exchange with.

I’m currently learning Italian, so someone fluent or native in Italian that would like to help someone practice. If the vibes are right, we can meetup for coffee or if you’re into it, I’d like to try bouldering sometime.

I’m a 31 year old guy in Brooklyn, Crown Heights/Flatbush area. Open to true penpals, but always down for making long term friends.

Grazie mille!

Hi, so I‘m from long island and recently got a remote job that pays $41,600 a year. I don’t plan on moving out from where I live any time soon, however, I was just curious because if I did ever intend to move out, it would be somewhere in Brooklyn or Queens.

To be specific, I know living alone comfortably would be close to impossible with only making $41,600 a year, however, if I had 1 or 2 roommates, would I be able to live somewhat comfortably in Brooklyn, or even Queens?

Hi all. Got approved for an apartment in Clinton Hill, about 2-3 mins walk from the station (will be taking the C train to work), and only just realized there are two methadone clinics right there. Is the area safe for a young woman? Read a couple of online articles about the drug problem, particularly around the station and am wondering if the situation’s gotten better in recent years. Thanks in advance!

I’m 52 and recently moved to Brooklyn. I live in north-central Brooklyn, and I’m hoping to find art classes where I won’t feel like the only middle aged person in the room. I welcome a mixed-age group, but if nearly everyone is thirty years younger than I am, I may feel a little out of place.

I’m especially interested in collage, mixed media, painting, pottery, or other creative classes that are welcoming to beginners. I’m willing to travel to other parts of Brooklyn, but I’d rather not have a very long commute.

I’d also like to hear from other Brooklyn residents in their 50s or people who know people in their 50s: What do you do for fun, creativity, or social connection? Are there classes, bookstores, cafés, or cultural events where you’ve felt comfortable going alone?

I’m not necessarily looking for something specifically geared toward older adults. A relaxed, mixed-age environment would be fine. I’m especially interested in places that feel down-to-earth.

I’d appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!

Been growing my hair out for about 9-10 months now and haven’t found a barber/stylist I love yet to get a good textured flow hair style. Lot of places are great for shorter hair but anyone got any recs for longer hair? Might just have to find a legit stylist at this point. Preferably south Brooklyn (Park Slope, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO etc) but willing to travel a bit for a great cut!

Edit: just wanted to update and thank everyone for their advice! My parents stopped into the office of there local council member . They were extremely helpful and yesterday morning someone from DEP was at there door . He explained that the problem is more so that the catch basin and pipes are not big enough to handle the heavy flow of water that occurs. The DEP employee is going to put in a report and hopefully a new larger drain can be put in and helps .

My elderly parents are dealing with repeated flooding because of the storm drain on their corner. Every time it rains the drain backs up and starts to flood , my 69 year old mother and 75 year old father are often outside in the pouring rain trying to clear debris to prevent flooding. calls have been put into 311 but nothing has been done . Is there a better way to get the attention of someone? I really hate that my disabled elderly parents have to clear it by hand in the pouring rain , I would help but i don’t live in the area.

I’m coming into town this Thursday for a week, staying with my sister (Bushwick) but she works so I’ll be alone some days. I have some food spots, bars, and stores I’m going to check out but would love to do some things off the beaten path. I’m a 27 year old man who likes art, reading, bar hopping, tattoos, meeting new people, etc.
I’m also moving here next summer so if anyone would like to spontaneously have a drink and chat, let me know!

Hi! Wondering if anyone has a reliable and affordable rec for someone who could repair a grill (I’m kind of out of my depth but think the burner tubes need to be replaced/something is wrong with igniting it).

It’s a Weber grill that is about 5 years old…

Also if you know anything about grills and think we should just buy a new one any advice is appreciated!

Thank you!!
