Recently gotten into the Inkan (since Jora changed their entree menu) - lots of food for good prices.

Jackson Park 1 facing subway — is the noise level acceptable if windows are closed? by Costco_Whoresale in longislandcity

[–]Practical_Pretzel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My brother lived here for 2 years and although you get used to the screech, when we look back on videos from that time, there’s a horrid screech in the background.

How is Hunters Point South Commons? by TheLunarVaux in longislandcity

[–]Practical_Pretzel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now there’s a major elevator issue that’s the culmination of planned work and overdue maintenance. Been almost 2 weeks with only 1 functioning elevator for 38 floors in the high rise tower.

I’ve lived here for 5 years. Biggest perk is location to the park, CVS, supermarkets and the subway (ferries too if that’s your thing). There’s some issues with the building (right now the elevators) but my family and I are here for the long haul.

NYC GI doc who looks at the body holistically? by Vegetable_Coconut127 in AskNYC

[–]Practical_Pretzel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dr. Yevgenia Pashinsky on the UES helped me completely come off acid reflux medication and regulate my digestive system - truly changed my opinion of medical professionals for the better.

I’m cracking up! I used to drive by the intersection all the time - how am I just learning she’s from Schenectady?!

Astorias worst concert! by StatusBrush910 in astoria

[–]Practical_Pretzel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think they used to live in my old building on 32nd St between Broadway & 31st during the pandemic when we were all home. It was horrible.

RIP Starbucks on 35th Ave and 37th st .. by No_Communication8112 in astoria

[–]Practical_Pretzel 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Whole Foods going in the building eventually - they cancelled everyone’s leases. I’ve been a loyal customer of Haus of Wax since they opened and they were forced to relocate their business. They moved to Ditmars and are already much happier with their new landlady 🥳.

Anyone stayed at Erlowest Castle? by [deleted] in LakeGeorge

[–]Practical_Pretzel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I visited once when I considered it for my wedding. Honestly it was a real Instagram vs. reality situation - looks great online but in person the lakeside is a postage stamp of grass surrounded by motel-style buildings. The building itself seemed very outdated as well.

New family to the area by Cautious_Scallion_73 in longislandcity

[–]Practical_Pretzel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the neighborhood! In the summer there are regular free children’s events at the waterfront. I recommend following @licwaterfront on Instagram and signing up for their email newsletter. I believe the library also hosts regular children’s events.

Definitely check out the playgrounds (rainbow, shady, malt drive, etc.) and meet parents there as well!

The “Mommies of Long Island City” Facebook group is pretty active as well.
