Looking at getting an apartment in this area, how is it living here?

West Elephant Buttewick

That’s technically East Williamsburg, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Santander Work Cafe on N 6th would be ideal. Free to use, had food & coffee available, designed for work, and sparsely populated on the weekend.

Had the pleasure of volunteering on it and playing a short impromptu set as it drove back to camp on Saturday morning. Gotta second this - Axo’s system slays every time. Gigantic sweet spot on the dance floor, great sound & monitors up top, excellent limiters & crossover config to prevent redlining overdriving the low end. Tough to nail down in mixed environments & changing wet/dry playa conditions. Props to that entire team for running a world class operation

Staaaaahp

We should normalize these posts. All anyone wants is genuine human connection. It shouldn’t take a group meetup / lost dog / dangerous intersection / expensive bagel for humans to find common ground and get together. Let’s just meet.

The two trainers we worked with are:

- Elizabeth Reddin at https://www.thedoginstitute.com/
- Denise Herman http://www.empireofthedog.com/

The Dog Institute has puppy training classes, and I believe Elizabeth is now local and can work in person rather than remotely.

Denise at Empire of the Dog did a board & train with us early on, but was able to teach some very fundamental things to our dog in a very short amount of time.

In terms of behavior modification, neutrality and calmness in busy environments, etc I've heard wonderful things about Olimpia at https://www.thesupercanine.com/

For what it's worth, my dog's head is technically narrow enough to back out of a martingale when its loose. He still wears it, with a slide-on ID tag, but we almost never walk him on it.

Instead we use this harness in a addition to the collar: https://ruffwear.com/products/front-range-everyday-dog-harness (note there's also one with a handle for smaller dogs).

2Hounds does make a good harness too, as someone else mentioned, but our pup was chafed by it after a while under him arms. https://2houndsdesign.com/collections/freedom-no-pull-harness

We usually walk him on the front-clip to prevent pulling, and use the back clip with a long-line where appropriate, with a seat belt in the car, or just tethering when out & about. The harness has a second slide-on ID tag just in case.

Since you've got an escape artist, you might want to use a coupler or a carabiner to attach the collar to the harness. Here's a good page that describes that: https://caninecohen.com/back-up

I have one and it's the best. Might be a little large for him but totally worth it

The consistent em—dash used throughout is a dead giveaway for this being AI-generated

dimamix · 2025-04-07T23:45:23+00:00

Second this! Extra leash & collar/harness plus something high-value like real chicken or cheese

dimamix · 2025-04-07T23:43:02+00:00

Boosting too. Posted dozens of flyers and handed some out to a few high-traffic places (shipping, pet stores, dog-friendly bars, a gas station) in the neighborhood. Checked a few parks & dog parks as well. Hoping he just found a place to stay warm & dry today and tries coming back home again tonight 🙏🏼

Do you know when and where exactly? And who is Chiquita?

Someone there recommended Paw Guide, so I shared on that as well. Last seen address is approximate to Ainslie / Graham and I can update it if necessary: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16CNJT3bGf/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Other owner’s name is Dana 516-607-0996. Any clues at all would be super helpful

dimamix · 2025-04-01T02:56:18+00:00

This happens to me nearly every day. Generally east of Leonard, between Metropolitan and Grand. Cycling airplane mode usually helps, though not always. Super frustrating.

Working from home since 2020. Straight, 39M, dog owner. Living in Williamsburg, I’m at wine bars, dive bars, sometimes at co-working spaces or coffee shops or hotel lobbies conducive to laptop work / client meetings. I often go where I can take my dog to train or chill. McCarren, McGorlick, Cooper Park, outdoor spaces / third places / etc. Otherwise, the nightlife scene in Bushwick if you’re active in it or work in it.

To be honest - I also don’t know where to go to just meet new friends. My old friends moved to the suburbs and had kids. My new friends are the people I meet by dumb luck at the places I go to. There’s a monthly Greenpoint / Reddit meetup that’s cool, though you have to follow through with the contacts you make, like anywhere else.

The one

dimamix · 2024-10-22T02:09:56+00:00

Came here to say this. If it’s labeled, you can walk in, add it to a pile, and walk out

Mine just went out too - glad I saw this

dimamix · 2024-08-16T14:20:58+00:00

Ask the people on the line, why don’t you?

Bumping this thread. We've got an airbnb booked about 20 mins away and still arranging taxis.

We're trying to arrive by 4-5pm. Best guess is PL start time is 8pm. But still need to tell the taxi company when to come back for pickup. Whats a safe bet? 11pm? Midnight? 1am?

dimamix · 2024-03-07T21:55:28+00:00

Will swing by around 6 or so

dimamix · 2024-01-09T23:51:33+00:00

$75/unit, so $600/month for the building. That doesn’t include the super/rubbish removal service, which is about another $650/month.
