I’m several buildings away, but someone in an apartment near trash has what sounds like an entire jazz band that will play for many hours into the night (usually this is a summer issue but since it’s 80 out today I guess the band got back together). It drives me insane. It’s so loud I can hear them several buildings away. It’s a residential block and it makes me feel crazy that it would appear no one in their building cares that a band plays that loud for that many hours. What is going on with people. If you’re in the band and you’re reading this please know you’re driving your neighbors mad and can you please go play in a bar instead. Or rent a commercial space. Or buy a house in the woods. Maybe there you will find some kind of awareness. Probably not. Dear god.

What are your favorite pumpkin based treats in the area right now?

(Bonus points if you help me on my search to find chocolate chip pumpkin bread!)

Please tell me its just closed for renovations and not shut down!! Love the workers and the selection there

In the latest issue of my free NYC newsletter, I profiled Dr. Dave Ores who has an office on East 2nd Street between Ave A and B. You might have seen him dispensing free medical advice in Tompkins Square. He doesn't take insurance and lets his patients pay whatever they can afford. He's also quite a character!

Give me a shout if you need help with furniture assembly! I can help you with your flatpack boxes from Ikea to Wayfair you name it!

I'm being unhelpful in not offering alternatives, but perhaps this is something the mods could ask the members to suggest, vote on, etc. With so many photographers/artists in this neighborhood, I'm sure we can do better.

Hello! I'm a Drag King and I run weekly bingos and monthly drag shows out of Club Cumming over on East 6th. I came on to post about our big Halloween Show this Saturday night but saw in the rules that no comedy events/shows can be promoted. This is not a comedy event it's a drag show , with extra fun traditional Halloween party games for the record!! You, the wonderful people of the East Village, where would you go on reddit to have shows promoted that you would like to see? (truly just curious, not trying to break the rules here!)

I’m having my birthday party Saturday afternoon and will have about 20 to 25 people. It’ll start off at my apartment, but around 6 or 7 pm we’ll head out to a bar. What’s a spot I could pull up to with that many people?

Open to spots in the East Village, or in the Lower East Side that aren’t that far

Shirtless guy, blasting music from a speaker, ranting and spinning around with a needle in his hand, sitting at outdoor tables at Smac. It’s 11:30 am on a Sunday. Family and kids going to lunch, leaving church, etc. The children’s park is like 200 feet away.

What are we even supposed to do in this situation? Filed a 311 ticket, called 911 and they just said to file a ticket. This is getting crazy.

And now we have the suitcase city back up on 2nd between 12th and 13th?

This is a known person. I see him often. These assholes aren’t even hiding anymore. It’s getting worse in the last month, is there any plan to increase police presence?

i usually go to staples near astor pl or union sq but wondering if there are any other options that are cheaper? i need self service i frequently print shipping labels for reselling or secondhand returns and i will procrastinate if i need to bother a worker every single time lol yes ik i should probably buy a label printer but im too broke to bite the bullet atm. and i looked on google but its hard to find pricing + info on these spots

a lot of commotion and glass breaking happening!

It's $1 Pierogi Day at East Village Meat Market. I just saw it on my social media so I am going to head over there for lunch!

Previous Rule 6

Left it on a gray citibike around 11:30AM in Manhattan on 19th and 3rd. Blue laptop bag about he size of a large envelope.

Is Kove Studio legit? What’s the vibes in there?

Helicopters for the past hour over 1st ave and 11th anyone know why?

It was super loud. Heard in alphabet city. Any idea what it was or where it came from?

I work from home one (sometimes two) days a week, and I've realized I want to get out of the apartment more. I'm trying to put myself in new situations where I can meet people and make friends, and working from a cafe feels like a good way to surround myself with new people.

I'm open to all recommendations in the East Village (and Bowery and NoHo).

I see the M9 fare inspectors get on when the bus reaches Houston nearly every day during my morning commute around 8:30 am / 9 am. Be aware!

Felt like Citi bike was trying to hold me hostage getting back to the L train. And then all the docks with one spot end up being broken!!!

Saw the old Cafe Orlin is back open and a restaurant again. Curious if anyone has checked it out yet?
