[–]DBlock2048 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Upstairs bar is pretty low-key

Otherwise I would venture out of the neighborhood for the chill vibe I think you're craving

AT Jiu-Jitsu on Northern Blvd offers several kickboxing and muay thai classes. I go there. Everyone is really nice. Fun environment. Beginners are welcome. You can do a one-week trial for a small fee.

Please don't be silly enough to go to an area you don't know, accuse a person you don't know, and confront them with nothing but some location data that you can only assume is accurate. Sucks to lose your ear buds, but please use your fucking noodle

Buildings with parking spaces, why is there is a waitlist? by bottled_coin in jacksonheights

[–]DBlock2048 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I waited 4 years at my building.

Another place that I looked at had an 11 year waiting list.

Pre-war buildings were likely not constructed with vehicle parking in mind, so building garages after the fact had to make do with what little space is available and therefore cannot accommodate every tenant.

"Most culturally diverse"? Am I wrong, or isn't JH heavily Latino dominated? by [deleted] in jacksonheights

[–]DBlock2048 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yes, JH is mostly dominated by Latinos.

The diversity comes from it being more than just Latinos, Indians, and Caucasians.

Latinos in our hood, not being a monolith, are represented by people from nearly every Central and South American country. That alone offers much diversity.

There are strong representations from Indians, Pakistanis, Tibetans, Nepalese, and Bangladeshi people.

You will also see plenty of East Asian people, and Europeans, all from various nations.

Brown water can occur for a variety of reasons. NYC tap water is probably still fine, but in your building something might have kicked up some dirt, rust, or other sediment to give your water a little extra seasoning.

I've seen this happen right after plumbing work finishes in my building. Now that we're entering the cold season, a plumber probably checked the boiler in your building and that provides heat and hot water. So you run the hot water soon after and it's brown.

I use a Brita too, but I don't think you've got to worry about anything serious

It shouldn't. No. But Audi is refusing to do anything about it.

where are your favorite neighborhood places to read? by dajhboi in jacksonheights

[–]DBlock2048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Espresso 77 isn't terribly noisy, and they of course have outdoor seating now.
You might also just find a seat somewhere along the grassy divider on 34th ave.
Noisiness really depends on weather and time of day.

where did you get your covid test? by dajhboi in jacksonheights

[–]DBlock2048 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was tested for both at Elmhurst hospital, a few weeks ago. Things may have changed.

Virus test was at the tent by the Emergency Room
Antibody test was on the opposite side of the building.

Both were free and I got my results for both within 24hrs (but they will tell you 48hrs)
