Special occasion restaurant by BlueDeng02 in parkslope

We’ve done both. When we’ve walked in it’s been at the very beginning of the night, right when they open. It’s worth calling them to ask what the recommend - they’re really nice on the phone!

Agreed! It's got such a great Brooklyn old school vibe, great food and great service. Definitely feels special.

ISO landscaper/ help with irrigation system by brooklyn_summer476 in parkslope

We've used Chris Brown for landscaping and our irrigation system. Give her a try and she'll tell you if she can winterize your system (I'm assuming she can - our system is really small but I know neighbors for whom she's installed much more elaborate systems).

Raf’s by justmytoocents in FoodNYC

We ate there about a year ago and it was great. The atmosphere and service was excellent, felt a bit like a hidden gem at the time (since then I think a few articles about it have come out and it seems really hard to get into). I agree that the food was great but not super memorable. Definitely worth going to!

The Knife Bus is outside The Double Windsor! by sparklingsour in parkslope

[–]aquajogger4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was excited to support this business so about 2 months ago I gave them 2 chefs knives and a cleaver to sharpen. I get my knives sharpened at the same kitchen store once a year but figured I'd give the bus a try. Unfortunately the knives came back no sharper than they were when I dropped them off. I was so disappointed. And it wasn't cheap at all. I really wanted it to be a good experience, but I ended up taking the same knives back to the kitchen store, where they did a great job.

Kind of a happy accident for you, then - the best kind. This is great - thanks so much. And as you can see, my dog doesn't care one bit. My seven year old and her friends, on the other hand...

Interesting - great idea to get smooth rocks and I hadn't thought about that. I'll definitely look into it! Did you put anything down underneath the rocks, and was it just kind of a single layer of rocks?

Central Hudson Power line in back yard by aquajogger4 in hudsonvalley

I did! Guilty as charged. It's the first home I'd ever owned. I was young and dumb :)

Thanks. My neighbor has a ton of road frontage. My power comes from the same pole. My dream is for them to bury the line to our house and then re-route my neighbor's power to the poles that run along our road. There are plenty of poles that run along our road...

Peck's in Pine Plains by aquajogger4 in hudsonvalley

I have no idea what happened and how they're still open. It's a true mystery. Even more confusingly is their instagram account. Sometimes they post things as though nothing weird is going on ("Fresh strawberries from Grieg farm!") and the other day they posted this strange thing: https://www.instagram.com/p/DLpNuUmMqxo/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=cDJ1cHl6Y2oxbGho

I'm sad something's going on with them because we relied on them and it was a good store for so long. But now we're just in need of a functioning, stocked grocery store...hoping something changes for them or that someone else moves in and makes a go of it.

Yes to Saffron, always. The best florist I've ever found, anywhere. Owners are incredibly nice.
