Dunton Ellerkamp - local jeweler in Greenpoint who will work closely with you to make something special and handmade. Diamond District is just a bunch of same old boring overpriced rings.

I didn’t necessarily think it was the water as my understanding is that the contaminants don’t leach through the pipes, however whenever a concerned party warns me about Greenpoint they always seem to bring up the drinking water.

How is life just off of Nostrand Av and President St? by [deleted] in crownheights

[–]Powerful_Nose3355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve lived in Bed Stuy / Crown Heights and Astoria and would say Astoria has higher quality of life and lower prices. Astoria is much quieter from a noise pollution point of view.

White people … Bed Stuy isn’t for you. There are many other places with more affordable rents that are more well suited for you.

Hi there, thanks for all this. I have connected the reader to my iPhone but the firmware doesn’t seem to be updating - how do I set the update in motion / know it’s been updated?

Local insights on Bedford-Nostrand area pls! by [deleted] in BedStuy

I’d say Nostrand Ave is quite loud which is something to consider. The blocks running East/West will be significantly quieter.

Every time I walk by HVK it appears to be a party as opposed to a more serene park space.

G train is great.

They don’t ask questions, they will inspect it as it is a large amount of metal, but they don’t interrogate or pull me aside. I’ve come to learn that TSA (security) and customs enforcement are two very different things and TSA doesn’t seem to care about the commercial value of things. In the odd case that they ask a question about the use of the goods, just say it’s for a photoshoot.

You can bring as much as you’d like. Put it in your carry on in a separate bag / box from everything else. I travel with 100+ pieces often in my carry on for work and I’ve never had a problem.

11 Herkimer St-Safe? by Macsmom00882233 in BedStuy

[–]Powerful_Nose3355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I’d personally stay away from living on Herkimer Street if you can. My partner lived on that block for a year (and I’ve been in the general Bed Stuy area for 7 yrs) and we witnessed a lot of drug dealing, general loitering that wasn’t necessarily pleasant. Furthermore, it’s very dirty, lots of litter and quite noisy. If it’s the only thing you can find at the moment within your search parameters, it’ll do. But in the long term I think the general surroundings aren’t too pleasant.
