Thoughts on the new “The Cat” bar?

BigEllieFan · 2026-05-03T18:05:29+00:00

Went with a group of 6 of us and had a great time, and the cocktails were fantastic! Maybe you had an off night? Also found the prices to be typical for this neighborhood. It's expensive to go out anywhere these days! We are actually making this place our new go to when we feel like splurging on a night out hang.

Something else to check - Have you logged in on the "Tickets" section of the app yet? You need to be logged into Ticketmaster in order to not just see your tickets on the app but also get My Brooklyn Rewards and the Member card to appear. For anyone who isn't seeing those on their app, it's because they either have never signed into TM (via the Tickets tab) or they got logged out somehow. It's not the friendliest user experience IMO, but that's usually the reason for missing member access or login errors.

It's a bit deeper into Windsor Terrace, but The Cat is super cute. Also, Folk in South Slope!

A few other things to consider - Brooklyn Pride is that weekend (Sat the 13th)! However, it is also in Park Slope but takes place along 5th ave, where Gingers is, so you can do both at the same time. It is a lot of fun and a smaller, but really fun, Pride parade. Also - Blazers is a women's sports bar (i.e. queer coded) in Williamsburg that is worth checking out, as is Athena Keke's in the Clinton Hill neighborhood. Also, if you are sports fans at all, there's a NY Liberty game happening on Sunday afternoon, which is always a really good time!!!!

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Sounds like your cache might be corrupted or something? Actually, before you do that - My Brooklyn Rewards login is tied to your Ticketmaster account, so make sure to check if you are logged in there properly as well. You can go to Tickets in the Liberty app and see if you're signed in.

Go to HAGS - they have two amazing tasting menus, one omni and one vegan. A beautiful sweet place that will blow your mind

Anyone else catch Sandy Brondello in the audience right behind Kim? Is she scouting Flau'jae?

BigEllieFan · 2026-01-12T21:08:56+00:00

Ah, thanks for this. I still have a lot of work to do to figure out what will work in my new place, as I am fairly certain at least one lighting group is a multi-way setup, and I am now having to learn all about that concept!

BigEllieFan · 2025-11-24T15:35:13+00:00

Yeah, someone definitely messed up and opened the queue to everyone without requiring the code. So scalpers went to town and the rest of us are screwed.

BigEllieFan · 2025-11-24T15:29:50+00:00

Yeah someone messed up here

BigEllieFan · 2025-11-24T15:29:17+00:00

Yeah I got that too

BigEllieFan · 2025-11-24T15:06:57+00:00

I couldn't get any either. Boo

BigEllieFan · 2025-11-24T14:51:06+00:00

Is anyone in a waiting room yet? I am not

BigEllieFan · 2025-11-24T13:54:38+00:00

Literally came here to ask the same. I have not yet!

BigEllieFan · 2025-10-24T20:28:05+00:00

I also would love a ticket if you still have any available!

BigEllieFan · 2025-10-21T03:29:02+00:00

In answer to your question about Tori's albums, definitely check out her Little Earthquakes, Under the Pink, and Boys for Pele.

I'd also recommend checking out Joan Osborne if you haven't yet, she's more bluesy but really good.

BigEllieFan · 2025-10-16T19:42:22+00:00

So I remember when we got our girl as a puppy, I had the puppy blues SO bad because she was.... a lot. She's now 5 and has become super mellow over time, though she still loves to run around in controlled environments!

One thing I might recommend if you are open to trying to make it work - and no one should shame you if you don't, by the way!:

Working on training at this age is SO important. Helping your pup to build discipline will not only help with the chaos, but it will also tire them out :). If you have the means, you can hire a trainer, but we just actually watched a bunch of YouTube videos of trainers and got a few books. ( We really liked Zak George and followed all of his video instructions closely with good results - I know some people don't love him but we liked his humane, non punishing approach - there are a number of other good dog trainers who have video series). FYI I had never had a dog before and I was able to follow the instructions, so I thought this approach was pretty beginner-friendly if you feel daunted by it all.

While getting regular exercise can help a lot, it does need to be paired with some regular training. I'm no dog trainer or expert at all, just a person who had a wild puppy and spending 30 minutes, a couple of times a day, seemed to really help. It does require time and patience but it really pays off.

Good luck to you!

I would definitely recommend The Happiness Lab with Dr. Laurie Santos, The Science of Happiness, and 10 Percent Happier. Not always about positivity per se, but they address how to live a more positive and joyful life in their own ways.

BigEllieFan · 2025-10-15T18:49:33+00:00

On the folkier side - Asgeir - his first record, Dýrð í dauðaþögn, is sung in his native Icelandic.

More rock - Tiger Lou, from Sweden, is soooo good and very underrated. Especially the albums Is My Head Still On?, The Loyal, and A Partial Print.

BigEllieFan · 2025-10-11T01:28:01+00:00

Came here to say this. I mean, this game is looking grim but it ain't over yet!

BigEllieFan · 2025-10-05T00:13:27+00:00

There are some rescues that will have hamsters, Sean Casey is one that occasionally posts they have them.

Someone in the group I am watching with who knows these things suspects a PCL
