The Melting Pot on Vernon Blvd has Ackee & Saltfish and it was pretty tasty...

This doesn't solve your problem...but....Earlier today someone told me to watch this absolute amazing video listed with this folding table on Amazon. It might make you feel very inspired about your decision to acquire a table.

Hey Fam,

Similar background here. I would really recommend Metiza. I have gone to 3 of their clinics around NYC and all of them are very clean and the owner takes customer service very seriously. She is lovely and has always treated me with respect. You MAY run into an ignorant technician (I did only in the Manhattan location, not in Astoria. I decided to use it as an education opportunity so she didn't speak to other customers this way. It was well received) but I have found overall, they tend to be professional and kind. They often have amazing Groupon deals. https://www.groupon.com/deals/mestiza-laser-clinic

> and having to use some janky ATM in the back that doesn't want to read my card, and charges me a 3 dollar fee

You're getting ripped off if you don't have a bank that reimburses all ATM fees.

Switching bank accounts is free. It doesn't require a credit-check. There's no reason not to move to something like Schwab High-Yield Checking. Their debit card reimburses all ATM fees, even internationally.

This is the best $20 you can ever spend for your two wheeled vehicle that you street park. It's VERY easy to put on and take off, and can fit in your pocket or bag when you travel with your scooter or bike.

I use one for my motorcycle in addition to a chain lock and cover. The audible alarm is a great deterrent to encourage potential thieves to move onto an easier target and it prevents them from simply being able to roll the thing away. In addition, look into getting a GPS Tracker or at the very least an Apple Airtag.

I’ve had this model for years and it’s great. Makes a huge difference in the house during the summer months.

Thank you so much to those of you who have taken the survey or responded here! I've received 121 responses so far, which is much more than I thought I would get. Check out the results if you haven't already!

Wondered about this too, so asked a bartender the one time I ever went in. He said it was part of "Hell's Kitchen Hospitality Group," some company that makes a bunch of bars that all look the same. They own Oliver's too. That place on Broadway. https://www.linkedin.com/company/hell%27s-kitchen-hospitality. Looks like there's a new place listed called "Astoria Craft" that is Coming Soon. So we can expect more of the same stamped out of the "cozy neighborhood bar mold" no doubt. Yawnz.

This is a pretty neat page that provides a little clearer windows of when it might actually rain. The models seem to have already updated the forecast even from when I checked earlier to have less daytime rain.

Ordered from Susuru Ramen on 36th Ave this week.

Got the Susuru Paitan Ramen and it was delicious. Very savory broth, very much on par with the higher end Ramen spots I’ve eaten at in the city (Jin, Totto, etc.) and reasonably priced. The proprietors are really lovely people, and she said she put some extra food in there for me to try - and to my surprise it was a pork bun! Very delicious bao, perfect balance of sauce, fatty pork and some fresh veg. It was towards the end of the day, so I assume it wouldn’t have kept til the following day, but I love that they do this.

A+ would definitely recommend.

Hello! I'm selling my dresser, this one to be exact.

More pictures here.

I used it for a couple of months but I got lucky a friend was giving away his old wooden dresser so I have no need for this one anymore. Any questions feel free to ask!

I’ve been using the Honeywell HCM 350 which has a very easy to clean tank and can run all night. Whoever one you end up choosing, the most important thing to keep in mind with humidifiers is consistent cleaning, at the very least once a week.

SAME PROBLEM HERE they dont want to leave. fucking chewing up the cables and destroying everything. I caught a few but still no luck.

1. Here is something that HAS worked for me (put a piece of chocolate candy on it) I caught like 3 suckers in one day with this, it has 5 stars on amazon.. very good trust me.

2. Here is a reddit post that has 7,000 upvotes and is a very simple solution to the problem, try it out

I've posted this elsewhere, but read this book, The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker:

https://www.amazon.com/Gift-Fear-Survival-Signals-Violence/dp/0440226198

Trust your instinct. If you feel scared, there is probably a reason. Hence why it is a gift.

Also - I strongly advise not wearing airpods/headphones when walking/running alone at night or really any other time of the day. Headphones do two things: 1) You can't hear. 2) You're letting people KNOW you can't hear. I know this isn't popular to say and people love their music/podcasts and don't want to hear this. But the fact is there are bad people out there and you need me to be alert and aware of your surroundings. Hell, it could even be that you dropped your wallet and keys and a good Samaritan is trying to tell you that but you can't hear them (has happened to me while running).

I have no idea if this was the case here and I am certainly not victim blaming. The responsibility lies with the perpetrator.

I do it a little differently to avoid 125th traffic

Also I enjoy Vernon Blvd. down through bk and across the bridges. I have one route that hits all the big bridge over the east river. I usually do it after work leaving manhattan and go BK, Mn, QB, TB have yet to do it in reverse since the BK bridge get's congested an isn't the best place to ride on a weekend afternoon.

I've been wanting to go out into flushing and spinaround on the Kissena Velodrome but haven't made it out there yet this summer. I've made it halfway to the excellent Popeye's out that way.

I placed my order through Grubhub for pickup. Not sure why there is a discrepancy! Although it seems like now the braised beef with curry rice is also no longer on the Grubhub menu – I want to say it was under Famous Thai Platter when I ordered.

Selling my rowing machine that's just collecting dust. Bought it September 29th, 2020 for $300 from Amazon and only used it for about 2 months. Joined a gym so the machine is just taking up space.

Amazon link for the model I purchased.

Everything works great. The only wear is the plastic knob/cover thingy which my puppy thought was a chew toy. It's only purpose is to stop the seat from sliding off the back when working out.

I'm over on Ditmars and 33rd. Sorry, no delivery.

Thanks!

It's totally doable! I have an indoor compost bin that I keep under my sink. It can get a little smelly but as long as I get to the drop off near me at least once a week it's totally manageable. To avoid creating extra production waste, I just throw scraps in there without a bag and wash the bin out after I empty it (local sites don't accept compostables like those green bags, just food scraps).

If I know I probably won't get to the composting sites before stuff gets stinky, I toss scraps a ziplock bag or a sturdy bag from packaged food products (like the bags sliced bread come in), carry them to the compost site, empty the bags into the bins and then bring them home to wash out and reuse.

I actually just did this for myself. I bought a 16" x 20" paint-by-numbers kit and it came as a loose canvas. I bought this wooden frame on Amazon which came with tacks, too. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LYQBKMX/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I ironed my canvas first as it came folded and you could still see creases but after that and tacking it really tight, it looks great.

FYI I picked up my board last night, lejoost was really nice, and the art and boards are all made in Astoria, and of very good quality. I just ordered this skateboard deck hanger from Amazon and am looking forward to putting my little slice of Astoria up on the wall.

+1 to air filter, i think it's one of the easiest things you can do to help. if it doesn't help the smell, it'll at least help with the actual air quality in your apartment.

if you get one, make sure you get one that takes a HEPA filter. if it doesn't explicitly state that, it's bullshit.

I can pretty much guarantee you that the dealer would not even notice it let alone penalize you if they found out that you added that accessory upon lease return.

If it’s a Prius, very cheap and effective options exist like this one.

The only special tool you need to install that is a pop riveter which is about $20. Or most independent garages or muffler shops would probably charge you around $100 to install.

I've taken two of my dogs to Astoria Veterinary Group for dental scaling. They do need to be sedated for that procedure, and anesthesia can be tricky for senior dogs just like it is for elderly people. So wherever you go, if you're looking at dental scaling, have a conversation about anesthesia with the vet first.

If you can brush your dog's teeth regularly with a toothbrush and proper vet approved toothpaste, you can avoid expensive dental cleanings. I'm too lazy for that these days, so I give my dog this powder that was recommended by Dr. Smith at AVG:

Hi guys, selling this perfectly functional AC unit that we've had for 2 years. It works fine, we just wanted a bigger one since we upgraded to a slightly larger place.

I wholeheartedly agree with this! Two cats isn’t much different than one. Plus, they’ll have each other if you’re gone for hours.

I have two brothers and I’ve left them overnight. I have their water and food in dispensers like these

yeah, and it's been out of stock for a bit on schwinn's site. doesn't include tax, plus time to assemble and tune up. if you've ever bought one of these schwinn's where you have to assemble it yourself, not uncommon for brakes/derailleurs to need some attention out of the box, which you'd be surprised how many people would just bring it to a bike shop and shell out more $ there.

it's in stock on amazon for $390 (in this color, looks like navy is the same look for $30 cheaper), but same jam, add tax and then you gotta assemble the thing. if that's your thing, do it!

I wish I had seen this earlier, Amazon was selling them with one day delivery. Keep an eye on the page maybe they'll restock asap

You're close to me as well, 27th by 23rd and 24th. For quiet you can go to Astoria Park during the week, there are plenty of places to hide and sit by yourself. Protip: If you walk all the way down to the river over by the track and field area and hop over the fence, there's a small outcropping that looks like an old boat dock of sorts you can sit on that is pretty peaceful. Indoors, Mosaic is pretty quiet during the day if you want to go have a drink and just meet up with a few people or bring a magazine and sip some delicious watermelon beer.

There's a group of us who all like to get together for all kinds of different things in all kinds of combinations. Usually larger events are announced on le Facebook as it's the easiest way to message and organize everyone.

I was by east ditmars... if you look at wikimaps (http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=40.782231&lon=-73.897734&z=14&m=b)... just look at all the crap to the north (and west on randalls island). (powerplant, water treatment plants, airport. I could barely open the windows in the summer. Not even exaggerating, it was pretty disgusting. Terrible, terrible sewage smells and strong exhaust.

Does any one have any suggestions for a venue?

​

I was initially interested in using the WeWork at Studio Square since they now provide free space to Meetup.com organizers, but unfortunately that location does not participate in the offer. I saw the Geekery (a board game store) on Yelp - they have tables you can rent by the hour. I've never been there so I'm not sure how it is, how big it is, etc. Bohemia has a big space downstairs that could maybe work. Any other ideas?

I assume you have one of the radiators that have steam air vents. I had this issue at one of my old apartments where the thermostat was in the ground floor apartment (2 story) and it was always warmer down there so my heat would never kick on fully. I bought an adjustable vent and opened it all the way up and it corrected the issue.

Fios is faster and fios beats cable.

Even if cable days 1gb download speed, your 300mb fios might just be quicker and more stable.

Also buy your own router instead of renting theirs. Your bill should be exactly $40 a month since internet isn’t taxed in nyc and you won’t be paying the monthly rental fee for router

I'll usually go to Prospect Park, Central Park, or Coney Island, but I like to do a little exploring sometimes too. Flushing Meadows was nice. My gf and I rode out there a few weeks ago, set up a hammock, and had a nice little picnic. I just did the ride to the Palisades (9w) last weekend. It was a good ride, and it's fairly easy to get there from Astoria. I used part of the route from Strava but went across the Triboro > Randall's Island > Manhattan instead of starting in Midtown.

https://www.strava.com/local/us/new-york-city/cycling/routes/655

Riding to City Island from Astoria isn't bad either. I rode there with a friend a month and a half ago. I think it was about 35-40 miles or so. Also pretty simple to get to for the most part.

The CityMapper app has always been good to me =)

If you don't use it currently, I'd give it a shot, all the info you could want about the subway trains (and much much more) is in there

Just an FYI, for those with decent gaming PCs (specifically those of you with powerful CPUs and good cooling systems) BOINC lets you use your CPU / GPU for different research applications, and the Baker lab at University of Washington is researching proteins, now specifically viral proteins to help understand how to develop antivirals for SARS-COV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19). Super easy to set up, I have it configured to run whenever I'm away from my computer for more than 5 minutes.

To answer OP's question, though, GTA:V, Insurgency, Witcher 3 (held off on playing until I got my new computer a couple weeks ago, boy is it pretty).

The snap traps can cause blood to splatter. If you're reusing it, that means you're going to have to get your hands close to it to clean it unless you just want dried up mouse blood all over the trap.

These would last you years and can be used to catch insects as well for under 33 cents each. If you catch a mouse, toss it away.
I'm not arguing against snap traps. I just don't see it as inhumane if you use glue traps. They are a pest, not a domestic pet. Technically killing any animal would be inhumane considering they are just organisms trying to survive so I really don't understand the inhumane part.

FYI if you’re going to install a window AC unit, I believe it’s a legal requirement to have a safety bracket installed. They’re not terribly expensive, and are very easy to install with a drill or screwdriver.

In great condition, only selling because we no longer need a 2nd workstation at home.

Pickup close to Broadway N/W stop.

I didn't get it from Amazon but this looks identical. Here are more pictures from the box: images

I’m looking to sell this bike. I will include the mat you see in the picture. $75 cash, pickup around 30th Ave x 42nd st.

The bike works great, though you might want to reassemble it since it rattles sometimes. The bike company sent spare parts and instructions on how to fix it, which I can forward to you. This issue is why I’m selling it for a low price.

Nice try...it's $219 brand new on Amazon, not $509.

This is literally brand new. I made this two days ago and realize it might be too small for my purposes (with the speakers and swivel monitor stand). I can send it back to Amazon but I would rather just sell it on here first to avoid taking it apart and hauling it to a UPS store. I paid 120 total for it and I'll sell it for 100 to avoid the pain of doing all that. Plus, I did all the work!

Get yourself some steel wool and shove it in there. Then seal the gap with great stuff pest block foam.

This method should work pretty well with any openings. Check around all of your pipes in your kitchen. Check around radiators. And if your stove is gas, carefully pull it out and check around where the gas line comes out of the wall.

These things should be available at any hardware store. I know they have them at Home Depot and here they are on Amazon.

If they won't hire a guy see if they'll buy this or reimburse you for it. This stuff works decently well.

A two pack sorted my entire 2 bed apartment with a little left over. Genuinely so much easier than faffing around with a caulk gun. Best of luck!

Hi all 👋🏼 I’m cleaning up my work station and I’m looking to sell this standing desk converter for $20 (if you can pick it up too).

(I’ve also cleaned it after I took the photo, I promise)

I have a new (much older) rescue pup but I'm in the same boat in terms of energy levels. Sometimes she gets nippy when she has too much energy and actually walks aren't the *most* helpful because she needs to be more engaged. I personally have a session with Kapooch this week. Brianna isn't exactly cheap but she seems worth it from what I heard.
Some things I have found helpful with my pup when walking isn't helping:

• Just going through some rounds of training really helps her expend some energy and settle down or

• I just throw her into a Sit / Stay for a second.

• I stopped feeding my dog from a bowl and started using enrichment Toys, Freezing her dry food in broth / water or using a stuffed Kong for meal times so she has to work for her food.

• Playing Tug or fetch

I'd also recommend this book. I started using this training program with my dog and it's been great.

This is a Joroto X2 : https://www.amazon.com/JOROTO-Magnetic-Resistance-Exercise-Stationary/dp/B07Q2697YN/

Purchased for $500 in June. Only selling because I'm moving and it won't fit. The bike itself is about as good as you're gonna get without springing for a Peloton. I also installed a Wahoo Cadence sensor ($40) I'm throwing in here.

Pickup required - would be around 23rd st and Hoyt. It's heavy but has wheels to move it.

You want to buy yourself something like this: https://www.amazon.com/MIMIVIVA-Extractor-Stripped-HassleFree-Hardness/dp/B08P1X8GNX/ref=asc_df_B08P1X8GNX/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=475715995816&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16922277157570691204&hvpone=&hvptwo=&...

You'll have it for a lifetime, and its handy in situations like this.

I guess it depends what type of pillow you are looking for but for my bed Ive used this one for years and I love it. My head usually gets hot and I have troubled sleeping. This one stays legit cool.

I’m gonna piggy back on this as I too have a workbook that I haven’t used. Basically said fk it gonna continue down my BPD path and not fill in this workbook even though I totally should 🤷🏼‍♀️

This one's nice and easy and you just let the rope down. Hook the wheels. And than use the pull to lift them on up over head!

Nice and easy.

Yes, it is most likely some type of electromagnetic interference. You can try changing the broadcast channel on the router. A different frequency may resolve this issue. If this doesn’t work, buy an extender for her room. This one on Amazon is highly rated at $28 and this one at Best Buy is a good and cheaper alternative.

For some reason, the text of my post got deleted when I added the photos, so summarizing below:

I'm moving next year and looking to clear out some things as I clean up/organize. I'm in upper astoria/ditmars a few blocks from singlecut brewery/best market. I'm selling the following:

1) Mini-dishwasher - hooks up to sink and washes 1-2 people's worth of dishes. Specifications can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/SPT-SD-2201W-Countertop-Dishwasher-White/dp/B004MX8XO6 - asking for $100 OBO.

2) Vacuums - Dirt Devil stick vacuum and Shark hand vacuum with attachments - asking $25 each OBO.

3) Coffee machine - left behind by old roommate, I don't drink coffee so free to whoever wants it.

4) board-games: clearing out old games I haven't played in a while:

- King of Tokyo + expansion
- Machine of Death kickstarter edition and expansion
- Marvel themed chess set
- Star Wars card game by Fantasy Flight
- Real dumb laws - game about dumb laws
- Punderdome - pun-themed party game.

Asking for best offers on the games. I'll likely be posting again in the new year as I get closer to my move date and have furniture to sell.

Originally paid $200. I'm selling it for $50 cuz I didn't build the drawers right so you'll have to fix it. thank you for your interest.

My account is less than a month old so I can't create a separate post for this, hope it is okay to post here. I have 2 unopened orders of these boxes that I am offering for free to someone who wants them. They are very sturdy and you don't have to use them as wardrobe boxes (the metal part can be attached/detached). If anyone needs good moving boxes, DM me--free, you just have to pick up (located on 30th St between Broadway and 36th Ave stops). Must take at least one full order of 3 boxes (if I have to open up the box then I am just going to recycle). Must pick up by Friday evening at which point they will go into recycling. Must wear a mask to pick up. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005HJASRO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_cejLFbDK8GNWX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I honestly recommend doing a home gym set-up. It's what I've done, and it It can really save you money in the end and it's so much more convenient than going to a gym. You can find many treadmills on Amazon or ebay that can fit under your bed or stand up out of the way (mine has a kickstand), and you can also get a set of adjustable dumbbells in a case that doesn't take up much more than the size of a tote bag. I got my treadmill for $250, and dumbbells for $54, (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071WSFSGC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_tK6JFbX07VK8D?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) which comes to the equivalent of 6-7 months of $50/m gym memberships. If you go to the gym more as an event or for the weight machines, then what I've said is no help and I apologize. But I love my little home gym and personally recommend it

I ordered these for my plant and have a few I can give you:

I highly recommend All Seasons Body Work on Broadway & Steinway! I’ve been going there quite consistently before covid but recently went back two days ago and the quality hasn’t changed one bit! Back rooms are spacious (they occupy every other room for social distancing), the masseuses actually speak a little bit of English, and they don’t seem to be dicking around with your time & really hit those reflexology spots. I’m also satisfied with the amount of pressure they apply (I find that a lot of places don’t apply enough pressure). It’s $49 for 1 hour full body and it’s well worth your money! Another commenter mentioned Songs Body Zen, and I used to go to Song’s regularly the last 3 years, but after the management change early last year, I found the quality of the massages to be quite inconsistent. Some were good but some felt like they didn’t know what they were doing. TLDR: try All Seasons.

When everyone was closed down, I invested in one of these and it was a true lifesaver for the knots I had in my back/shoulder/calves. If you’re in a pinch (financially or time-wise), I would highly recommend this as well!

I’ve used this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0148W0WOE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_btf_t1_AWewFbH6APPAD and it worked like a charm. Took me about a week of applying on my kitchen and living room to completely get rid of roaches. It’s been 4 months and I haven’t spotted a roach since. I should warn you, if you apply it at night, you’ll wake up in the morning with dead or half dead roaches all over your floor.

I bought a LectorFan because of an old upstairs neighbor who got up early and walk around in their hardwood floor apt in heels and was a heavy walker in general. It really changed how I sleep and even if i did get woken up I had an easier time falling back to sleep.

I have two of these in near perfect condition. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AAZWQL0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_skSqFb2Y0ZGYT PM if interested. I'll be putting them on the curb Tuesday afternoon if no interest.

We use this one and have had great luck with it. Just don’t use the booster (weirdly)
