I’m seeking recommendations and feedback on the NYC high school application process. My daughter who is eighth grade is tier 3 on Myschools and doesn’t have a good lottery number.

We are exploring all types of school options in Brooklyn and Manhattan for the particular focus on schools that have CTE programs and AP courses. She’s also auditioning for theater programs to maximize her options.

I would appreciate any additional feedback on any schools that other parents may recommend or any other information based on your own experience with this process.

I've relied on them for music news for ages now. Always via RSS. The RSS feed hasn't worked for months now, my email asking about it went unanswered, and I'm not seeing any updates to recent shows that they usually would cover. Has something changed?

at the Muna concert in Brooklyn on May 16th, some peeps were walking around with a camera and sunglasses. they asked my best friend and i to put on the sunglasses for them to take a photo for a collage of sorts. anyone have any idea where i could find those?

I was about 5 years old when the movie “the ex” 2005 came out and I grew up 2 blocks away from sunset park, so about a year later when the movie came out on DVD we watched it, didn’t understand about it, all I remember was one scene, (a kid eats a burger whole). And at the end of the movie I say to my mom “isn’t that sunset park” and she says yes, I always thought this was a fever dream, because I always remembered this. Flash forward 12 years later this memory I still remember but I don’t know what movie it is, until one day I watch “the ex” 2005, i see the burger scene and I get a flashback, so I continue the movie and I DONT see the sunset park scene, so I think to myself was I dreaming, did I not really see sunset park. I rewatch that movie like 4 times, and still nothing. I am now watching the DVD version and again (different dvd same movie) and AFTER 20 YEARS!! I SEE IT, it was real! (Check photo)

I always questioned why would a movie would film in sunset park of all places, I think they filmed in Micheal’s church on 43rd (could also be a fever dream) but filming must have taken place 2004 if anyone was there to witness it? I also made a post about 2 years ago on Reddit asking if anyone knew what the hell I was talking about (the scene is of a pickle riding a skateboard) kinda hard for people to take me seriously LOL.

Trying to foster a dog in Brooklyn, applied to multiple rescues, not hearing back. What am I doing wrong? It's frustrating also because they keep sending automated emails saying they need fosters asap but when I reply they don't respond.

Here's where I've applied:
- True North Rescue - approved as a foster last month, but multiple emails have gotten no response
- Social Tees - applied. Their process is basically "watch our Instagram"
- Rescue City - nada
- Sean Casey - applied months ago, nada

Is this normal? Do NYC rescues just not answer emails? Anyone know which ones actually place fosters quickly, or have a lead on a kid-friendly dog that needs a foster right now?

Thanks!

My car was parked outside on the street. I saw a fist sized dent on the corner of the bumper. Looked at my dash cam and saw my neighbor sideswiped me. I confronted him and he dismissed it and won’t give me his insurance details. I called the cops but it seems it happened a day ago and is too late for a police report. Is there anything I can do. Or do I have to eat the cost of filing a claim with my insurance company?

Went for a walk around Park Slope and saw a few "For Sale" signs on some Brownstones. But they weren't selling the building, they were selling individual units inside the building.

I'm just curious about what is the legality of turning brownstones into condos and selling them as individual units. How does that even work?

In February of 2025, I lost my mother... I inherited her house (which had a reverse mortgage, so I refinanced and I have a mortgage)

So I am the landlord in this situation.

I had to evict the downstairs tenants for non payment of rent... and I tried being nice and told them I wouldn't evict them if they would just move out... after 4 months of non-payment, I filed eviction and won... that took an additional 6 months.

The downstairs apartment rented quickly, and my husband and I worked on emptying the 2nd floor apartment (where my mother lived... this was emotional, so yes it took a while) and then we started showing it for rent.

There was a very nice mother with 2 little girls who came to see it. She is a single mother who has been evicted by the court (because her husband left her and she could not afford her current rent without him) and the marshals could come any moment to forcibly remove her.

She has a FHEPS voucher... which originally I wasn't going to deal with because I always worry if they lose that voucher that I will have to go through eviction again... and I really don't want to lose my mother's house because I can't pay the mortgage.

I agreed to start the paperwork for her because I was a single mother, and our stories were somewhat similar and I felt for the woman.

I called her caseworker for 3 days and left messages with no response... then I finally got an email for the caseworker and started emailing her. I sent her pictures of the apartment, the rent I was asking, and the name of her client... letting her know I really wanted to help this family. The case worker sent me the link for pre-certification. I filled out the paperwork, and 3 days later received a fail because the city wanted me to lower the rent. (The caseworker could have said this in her FIRST email when she sent me the link)

I went back and forth with the case worker trying to find out what they wanted to pay for rent... I ended up getting this information from the prospective tenant, and I re-applied immediately.

Three days later, I received a response that said rent pending... with an added section that said 2 bedroom apartment should only have 4 rooms... apparently the city has never heard of a dining room. I forwarded this response to the case worker and asked for clarification... after 7 days she emailed me back and asked for my contact information. I immediately sent her my phone number (which she could have read her previous emails to find because it was included in EVERY email) and she never called.

Today, I find out from the prospective tenant, that pre-cert failed because 2 bedroom apartments only have 4 rooms...

I went and filled out the pre-certification paperwork again, and lied and said the apartment only has 4 rooms... and now I have to wait until sometime next week for a response. I then emailed the caseworker, her supervisor and the supervisor's supervisor and told them that it is shameful that I am working harder to keep this woman out of a shelter than they are.

It has been WEEKS, that I am struggling to get my apartment approved for someone with an "emergency time sensitive pre-clearance"

The caseworker claims that if I pass Pre-certification that the inspection will be done immediately because this is an emergency... and I am not really trusting her anymore at this point. She also told me there is an incentive of a full month's rent for holding the apartment, BUT she won't tell me when I receive that, or if there are additional qualifications for it.

All of this stress is why people don't WANT to accept vouchers... I agreed to hold this apartment for this family, and the city is playing games. She will wind up in a shelter if they don't pull their act together... and meanwhile I still have a mortgage to pay.

I understand there are a LOT of people who need help, but if I am trying so hard to help this family, why is the city holding up the process for stupidity instead of letting this family get settled and have peace of mind?

Update 1: The caseworker finally called me, and said that she was calling because she saw I had sent a lengthy email (which she didn't read) then asked why I contacted her. I explained about the 4 room/5 room thing and she said that made no sense. She then asked me to send her that paperwork, and I told her to look at her email on 10/9 because that is when I sent it to her and asked what I should do. She then proceeded to get nasty and told me that the client wouldn't be moving in until December 1st because I still had to pass pre-cert, and wait for an inspection, and then start the application paperwork with all the documents. I asked her to send me the application and list of documents now so I could hand it in on the day of the inspection... and she told me it doesn't work that way... everything needs to be done in order. I responded that it seemed to me like she was the one holding up the emergency client, and I was bending over backwards to try to help her. She then told me that the marshals could not come and throw the client out because she was supposed to get an extension with her voucher (as far as I can find from google, this is either not true, or not an extension for as long as Cambra takes to work things out) The helpline we are calling states that she most certainly can be forcibly evicted that is why her status is "emergency" because the eviction process was completed in court.

Spreading the word that SFX Huskies are hosting tryouts in November. Details are in the flyer below and you can RSVP via the link on the image (i'm not able to post it) . I'm a coach on one of the teams - happy to answer any questions.

Just Ruby so far.

I’m trying to find good reggaeton parties on Friday, something on the cheaper side since I’m doing the expensive one on Saturday. I’m planning to go with a 8 people group but most of us are on our mid twenties, some of us grew up in Latinoamérica so good reggaeton or latin music would be appreciated. Been trying to find some spots but I’m not sure how to recognize which ones are the good ones. Any recommendations would be highly appreciated, thanks!!!

Carlo was trapped a few months ago when he was living on the street behind the building in one of the parks in Brooklyn, NY. He is a little shy, so he would be ok as a single cat with someone who works from home or has other cats, if the person introduces them properly (which our rescue team can help with :)). Right now, Carlo enjoys having his brother around - Salem - at his foster home in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. He's very playful, docile, full of life, and the sweetest cat ever. He's neutered, vaccinated, and healthy. Carlo is a BOY... just in case the name is not clear. When we were trapping him, we thought he was a girl, so you never know! If you're interested in adopting this beautiful boy, please fill out our adoption application. We respond quickly to every inquiry. Thank you for considering giving Carlo a true and one forever home! The link to the adoption application in the comments.

We have been offered the opportunity to do an artistic activation at Sterling Station, and we need to contact the general station manager (there isn't one specific for this station) 511 didn't work, nor email. Any leads for the real phone line for MTA employees?

Around 5:30 pm I was exiting target and crossing prospect ave right as my two heavy paper bags started breaking. Stuff started falling out and a man and two women came to my aide. Thanks for helping me get my items across the street and for giving me your cloth target bag. I wasn't having a great end to my day and I appreciate it more than you know. I hope something amazing happens to you all

Looking to borrow 1 or 2 outdoor/indoor space heaters for a courtyard art show next weekend (Oct 24–25). Happy to pick up/drop off and leave a deposit.

I'm off the montrose L stop and will give you a framed drawing in return!

random question but don’t know where else to ask without calling the library lol - but i picked up a hold today and the book is so severely damaged it’s baffling - does anyone know if they’ll let me buy them a new copy? or do they not take donations??

Does anyone know if this theater allows or indifferent to people bringing outside food? And if you can, any reccos?

I think it's the first time I had to fire it up this October...

I apologize if that didn’t come across correctly for some reason because I was recalling a place called Perelandra where it closed down a while ago.

I mean, what I am saying is that for some reason, I started to miss the place as I really enjoyed their bagels and their food selection that I suddenly became interested in looking for alternatives to the store again since I was just starting to miss it.
