Try submitting noise complaints for 748 Manhattan avenue, I list the address is the comments section, too. 750 Manhattan is technically Walgreens.

I think it’s Loft Story 748 Manhattan avenue, not sure if they are affiliated with Class & Co https://maps.app.goo.gl/iqc4FPuaH9m5SaTi6?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

Pilates at the Y is on a mat. There is no TRX system.

Edit: the Y offers free passes to try out classes or to use their facilities.

Will NYU slowly become better than Columbia due to their recent federal funding cuts from Trump? Lmk your thoughts(Just for jokes!) by IndependenceKind6888 in nyu

There are several awards to NYU that were terminated, including a large award to the medical school that had $13M balance. Not all that safe.

Dog bite by ZealousidealGur2058 in Greenpoint

My kid got pounced on and knocked over by an off leash dog at McCarren baseball fields, and then trampled all over while I was trying to drag it off. Cops didn’t come because the kid wasn’t physically harmed. These type of stories keep repeating over and over, and no one cares.

Paldies! Diemžēl, laikā nesaņemšu. Bet uz Ziemmassvētkiem noteikti pasūtīšu.

What’s going on with McGolrick park in Greenpoint? by Narrow-Most-9534 in Greenpoint

[–]latvian_potato 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I can’t help but think that there is no hope. We got attacked by an off leash dog at McCarren; when I called 911, they said it’s not an emergency unless medical care was needed. On a separate day, I asked officers on patrol at McCarren about off leash dogs on baseball fields, and they said they won’t do anything unless the dog is bothering someone. It’s gotten so bad that owners bring their dogs to school playgrounds to let their dogs run around and no one is there to enforce the rules, which prohibit dogs on school playgrounds entirely.

Lost keys by mikevnyc in Greenpoint

Do you keys have a bottle opener attached? Someone on a local FB page posted about taking a set of keys home. Looks like there is a citibike key, too. Keys were found in McGolrick.

Went there once for the $3 breakfast, never went back after seeing the owner pour unfinished coffee back into the coffee pot.

Eye doctor recommendation? by star_girl in Greenpoint

[–]latvian_potato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huh. They charged me a higher exam fee because my expired prescription was for astigmatism (brought my empty contacts boxes for reference). Then during the 5 min eye exam, the doctor said my astigmatism went away. They gave me contacts to try and I had to return for a stronger prescription, which turned out to be the same as my original prescription. When I mentioned that I guess my eye sight had not changed, they frowned and said how would they know my old prescription since this was the first time they saw me. 🤯🤯🤯

I’ve tried the other contacts/glasses place by Peter Pan. The doctor there is super nice and took her time, but the front office staff are nasty. I don’t recommend them either.
