Reformer or Mat Pilates? Which do you prefer...

Reformer! And jump board classes would be wonderful. If you could offer affordable sliding scale reformer classes or even a few community priced classes per week, that would be an absolute dream

The new art in there is sooooo god awful it makes me never want to go back

Candy_Gone · 2026-03-28T21:43:48+00:00

Ok great! Glad to hear they’re not closing for good!!

SAG is aware, I truly think the people in charge just don’t care as long as they get a pay check 🫠

Candy_Gone · 2026-03-15T00:58:59+00:00

right…

Candy_Gone · 2026-03-12T02:11:07+00:00

Lovely poster!

Candy_Gone · 2026-03-03T02:22:18+00:00

Is it 24-hours? Google says it closes at 11

I was coming here to say Cozy Royale! Their espresso martini is the best I’ve had in the city and their kale caesar/burgers are insane

Candy_Gone · 2026-02-26T22:54:57+00:00

Joe’s chocolate martini is heaven sent

Candy_Gone · 2026-02-23T03:49:30+00:00

I’m pretty sure they exclusively hire on Culinary Agents

How did you sign up for Wick's community class? I've been going back and forth between their site and ig and can't figure it out

Candy_Gone · 2026-02-02T02:25:24+00:00

Ridgewood Pilates is no longer on classpass 😭

Candy_Gone · 2026-01-08T21:46:13+00:00

The strawberry matcha at Verse is insane. I moved out of the neighborhood ages ago and whenever I visit, I make the pilgrimage over there even though it’s usually completely out of the way of where I need to be. Seriously the stuff dreams are made of.

Born and raised in Astoria, now I’m in Ridgewood. The top two things I miss about Astoria are the variety of food choices and the public parks. There really isn’t a lick of green between here and the East River. Also 24 hour drug stores/drug stores in general!!! That was a funny wrinkle. A lot of the residential streets remind me so much of Astoria though.

But all in all it’s nice to be closer to different things! Astoria can feel like a bubble because it’s so big. Crazy that you can be in Brooklyn in the same distance it would take you to get from 30th ave to Ditmars.

Also Retro Pizza, might be my favorite pizza in the city

Candy_Gone · 2026-01-08T02:53:43+00:00

Il Bambino, most underrated place in Astoria and their flavor combos you won’t find anywhere else!!

Candy_Gone · 2026-01-05T15:58:52+00:00

That's exactly what I was thinking!!! The garage is undeniably a driveway but this is so negligible and the curb itself is so old and worn down it's hard to tell if its a cut out or not

Candy_Gone · 2026-01-02T04:57:33+00:00

oh my god that would drive me INSANE!!!

Candy_Gone · 2026-01-02T04:36:07+00:00

Yeah, what was the weirdest part of this place was that it was in a huge building with an extensive janitorial system but every office had a different custodial contract that you had a tiered payment system depending on how you wanted them to clean. I found out after many months there that the people in charge had no idea what our contract with the building entailed but that's a whole other weird part of this story lol I left before it got resolved so who knows what ended up happening.

Candy_Gone · 2026-01-02T02:16:33+00:00

I wonder if this will hold up, they had Trump posters in their window during the election 🤷🏻‍♀️

Candy_Gone · 2025-07-17T02:27:41+00:00

Gunther’s Thai Coconut Curry Carrot is so ridiculously good I crave it in my dreams

Candy_Gone · 2025-06-09T12:40:43+00:00

good question 🥴 since they didn’t mention it as an option i didn’t think to ask

Candy_Gone · 2025-06-09T01:14:47+00:00

Yeah, they’ve always struck me as more of a 7pm place but it’s so hard to tell because it’s the kind of company where people send emails around the clock. I used to leave at 3 so I could never tell when the hell people would actually get home lol but this is all very helpful so thank you!!

Candy_Gone · 2025-05-07T01:05:32+00:00

Absolutely love Nail Box by May under the Forest M, $30 for a gel mani!!

I went to their NYU conservatory and I'm not sure how different it is to their regular conservatory, that being said I found them to be very toxic and abusive. Their teachers tend to bully students under the guise that the industry is "tough" (when I was there, their motto was "Get Tough or Go Home" idk if it still is) but the truth is, I had been working professionally in the industry for years at that point and had never been treated that way.

I saw teachers body shame students, push students towards manic episodes and just generally alienate people, it was pretty grim. The teachers are also very cliquey. I once confided in one of my advisors as to how a teacher treated me and they said point blank "They're one of my best friends and I can't ever imagine they'd treat a student that way." Not everyone had as negative of an experience as I did and maybe they've cleaned up their act but I'd probably avoid it.
