❓Questions Metal road plate on McGuinness

• Upvotes

For anyone that lives on McGuinness near Norman and Meserole, is that temporary metal plate on the road driving you crazy?

I hear it all night and have troubles sleeping since it sounds like a loud hammering sound. Has anyone else filed a 311 construction noise complaint?

🪄 Self Promotion Any bars in Greenpoint want to teach me how to bartend?

2 Upvotes

I’ve served in fine dining for years and recently started working at 2 bars in LES, one I had to quit bc of weirdos there (I’m a girl). I fell in love w the bar scene and have a bit of knowledge through the industry and some barbacking. I’m easy to teach, social, and want to bring community together in the neighborhood! My bar is too busy to show me but can vouch for how I move. Happy to provide socials to show my vibe

❤️ Recommendations Had the worst fries of my life at matches

28 Upvotes

Went to read at the bar, have a drink, and eat some fries. They were nine dollars and tasted like they had been taken out of the freezer and put in the oven for five minutes.

Sorta soggy, sorta cold, and just tasteless.

I had maybe four and then stopped eating. Did I mention they were 9 dollars. Holy cow no thanks.

❤️ Recommendations Seeking Greenpoint Primary Doctors & Cardiologists

Hey hey Greenpoint fam and trolls! So I'm in a temporary pickle where I'm not covered by insurance, but still need to go to a primary doctor and cardiologist for a pre-existing condition I'm due to check up on. Anyone have solid recommendations for either/both? Keeping in mind I have no insurance so ideally they would work with me on affordable out of pocket costs. Appreciate any advice y'all could offer thx

Hi! I know this has been posted a few times in here but going back through old responses it seems like a lot of the info is passed through DM. hoping to find an affordable, reliable house cleaner for our 1bed/1bath.

We had someone come and she quoted 8hours for the kitchen bedroom and bathroom which seemed wild so trying to find some other options in the area! Thanks in advance.

❓Questions Noxious fumes on Nassau Ave around 4am

9 Upvotes

I am up Nassau near Morgan and around 4am tonight we woke up and had to close the windows as there was some sort of very toxic fumes coming in.

I am not sure if it was just exhaust but I am up a few floors. Curious if anyone else experienced it and if maybe it was the asphalt plant with some wind?

It was way too bad to be a car something.

I truly forgot how much this city enjoys a good pizza. One weekend’s worth of boxes by just one trashcan in McGolrick.

Also… can we get some trash/recycling/compost sorting bins at our parks? Pretty please. The trash overflow is practically constant.
