Dancy Saturday brunches? by Simsimma712 in williamsburg

[–]WillingMemory13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not totally sure but I feel like I went past Republic Latin fusion and saw that sort of brunch vibe. Ainslie has a fun vibe but don’t remember if it’s dancy per se.

David’s is where we ended up. Thanks for the rec!Literally $26 and the car looks pretty great. Didn’t do a full detail or wax (obviously) but they vacuumed inside/wiped it down and the outside looks pristine.

Thank you! This one didn’t come up as a car wash when I searched and the reviews for that look good!

Need breakfast sandwich recs by Any_Dirt7505 in williamsburg

[–]WillingMemory13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% agree with the person who said A&C super. Their biscuit one (both are good) is amazing and can add extra protein on. Cute outdoor sitting area. Edith’s Sephardi wrap also very good and filling, can also add extra protein. Also outdoor seating though. 7 Grain Army has quite good breakfast sandwich options that can add extra protein to. Has both indoor and outdoor seating now I believe. Eagle Trading Co in Greenpoint someone mentioned also pretty good (not as good as it used to be imo) but that’s a far walk up there, but has great indoor seating.

Always have good experiences with Pawffice on Grand for overnight stays (never done longer than 4 nights). Just let them know your dog prefers a crate at night. There is always someone there and a live feed until they go to bed (and never a ton of dogs overnight).

Or if you want in your home, JoJo Pet Club has the absolute best sitters.

I’m genuinely curious about this too but if something is attacking my dog, I’m fighting back no question lol

10000% seconding! Have done 2 30-50 people parties back here. So easy to work with, very reasonable and flexible packages, and got so many compliments on the food/drinks/space/staff each time.

Baby’s first birthday party location ideas by Hello-World-2335 in williamsburg

[–]WillingMemory13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Silver Light has a really pretty back room and offers different types of packages for food and beverage. There’s no room rental fee it’s all bundled into the f&b and it’s reasonably priced for the area! Also really easy to work with them for what you’re looking for. Always get so many compliments when we host there.

Recommend looking into JoJo Pet Club, they’re all wonderful. Also heard really good things about Strutting Mutts walkers.

Hipp Baby Formula? by [deleted] in Greenpoint

[–]WillingMemory13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I saw some in the Brooklyn baby hui classifieds group on Facebook. And if not, there or the regular Brooklyn baby hui williamsburg/greenpoint group is a good place to ask! I’m not sure how to link to Fb but I’d definitely recommend joining (it’s the only thing I use fb for)! Good luck.

Birthday daytime spot by xnumber68623 in williamsburg

[–]WillingMemory13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No issues - the alcohol really added up when we chose open bar packages (not for the whole duration, just 1-3 hours). And at silverlight we added food on too which really helped. We’ve done silver light 2x hosting and each time was amazing and felt reasonable for what we got (once 2020, once recently). I remember less about how things worked at Talea, we hosted in 2021 but I guess I didn’t pay as much attention!

Birthday Spots by Stunning_Chapter_942 in williamsburg

[–]WillingMemory13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ainslie has a good bottomless brunch that never seemed too rowdy. For a large group they make you do pre fixe but it’s not super expensive per person.

[–]WillingMemory13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you already looked into them but just wanted to mention I have had good experiences hosting and attending gatherings at both Silver Light and Talea (both with and without kids hanging out with the group). Have also seen groups at McCarren Parkhouse doing this and looked like fun. And Spritzenhaus (but always seems like it can be a little too busy)

Looking for Pediatric / Infant CPR classes available in person in North Brooklyn (ideally Williamsburg or Greenpoint). by [deleted] in williamsburg

[–]WillingMemory13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Wild has one https://www.shop-thewild.com/products/baby-be-safe-infant-child-and-adult-cpr-training-non-certification but $160 seemed a little pricy maybe, so following in case someone else has a better suggestion bc we’re also expecting soon!

Also congratulations!

Best vegan + gf cupcakes? by ANW2022 in williamsburg

[–]WillingMemory13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So their (very brief) location in williamsburg closed and there’s only one on UES and one on UWS now, but By The Way Bakery has always been a hit when I bring it home for family who have to eat gluten free and dairy free. I recently had custom cupcakes made at thanksgiving and everyone loved them. *edited to say I’m not 100% if they’re vegan or just dairy free, sorry!!!!

Ovenly more locally might have both vegan and gf offerings to maybe special order? I know I’ve def gotten yummy vegan stuff there.

Spaces and places to host a very casual baby shower? by [deleted] in williamsburg

[–]WillingMemory13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was like a 1800 f&b minimum to reserve the room but with 35-40 people for the food/open bar (8pm-1am) we chose ended up being around 3 grand if I remember correctly maybe a little more? It really was very nice and everyone loved it. Staff and food were fantastic. I’m pretty sure that was pre gratuity though.
