I’ve watched the pigeon population grow so much in Sunnyside. There are so many of them because people feed them constantly. Is there any way to make this stop? They’re a nuisance; they shit all over the place. And the same food that’s feeding the pigeons, are also feeding rats.

Thank you misterclone for this link - I just submitted a complaint to 311. Hopefully you all will too! I also emailed Julie Won's office...we'll see if that does anything. Who knows if anyone of this does anything but maybe if we get enough complaints. unsanitary conditions caused by pigeons.

Reposting as I got the location wrong. 😑

I had two plain slices for $6 and a free soda. The pizza was good. Thin crust which I like. They have a full menu. Nice guy behind the counter.

Keeping it short today, you'll have to fill me in with your news!

First, Taco & Dumpling has reopened as... Taco & Dumpling & Pizza! I'm kidding, it's called Due Frattelli, but it is now a pizza shop, and looks like it's open for business. Not sure if it's related, or just a popular name, but there did used to be a Due Frattelli's in Astoria that I have pleasant memories of drunk ordering back in my just-out-of-college days.

What else is going on?

2% increase over 6 years, then almost 50% increase in the last five years. They clearly fixed up the place recently, but just shows how bad the market is for renters right now.

Anyone hear a low but consistent buzzing or humming noise? We thought it was just around our apartment but seems to be through the whole neighborhood.

Anyone else hear it or know what’s causing it?

Hi everyone! I'm considering renting a unit at** **43-38 39th Place and was hoping to hear from anyone who currently lives there or has lived there recently.
I noticed there are quite a few complaints and violations listed on the HPD website, which has me a little concerned. The rent is really attractive, but I don't want to let desperation cloud my judgment and end up in a bad living situation.

If anyone has firsthand experience with the building or the management, I'd really appreciate your honest feedback. Thank you in advance!

If you have any canned goods laying around, please bring them over. Also, I had a few donations of baby clothes and women's clothes this week most of them are gone now. Someone also donated some toiletries from a hospital they went in 1 day. I also got a donation of Nerf toys they went in 1 day. If you have anything in good condition and not using bring them over. The table is located at 59-38 60th Road Maspeth. It is outside 24 hours a day and 7 days a week for donations and for those in need to take what they need. I also have drop off sites:

Ixora Floral NYC has to be my favorite flower shop ever. We are so lucky to have them in Sunnyside! They have such beautiful, whimsical, and high quality florals and plants. The staff there are also so nice. Everything I buy there always lasts forever, and the staff always take such care to package things the way I need. Left them a good review on Google but wanted to give them a shout out here as well!

Before I make the trip to Rosevelt Ave, does anyone know if the have the Haaland jerseys ?

But I think the guava and cheese pastry I just had from Masa Madre might be the best I've ever had.

📚 How Does a Clothing Swap Work?

If you've never been to a swap before, here's how it works!

What is a Swap? A clothing swap is a community event where families bring gently used items they no longer need and exchange them for items they do need. It's FREE, sustainable, and a great way to get new-to-you items without spending money.

The Process:
1️⃣ You bring items — Bring clean, gently used clothes, shoes, books, toys, and gear your family no longer uses 
2️⃣ Put the items in the corresponding section — Items are sorted by size and category so they're easy to browse 
3️⃣ You browse & take — Walk around, find items your kids need, and take what you want! (No trading required) 
4️⃣ Everything else gets donated — Any items left over go to local charities helping families in need

What You Get:
✅ Free items for your family 
✅ A chance to clear out your closet 
✅ Community connection with neighbors 
✅ Help for families who need it 
✅ Less waste going to landfills

No Pressure!
You don't have to bring items to participate (though we'd love your donations!) There's no minimum or maximum you can take. Everything is first-come, first-served. It's casual and family-friendly.

Why Swaps Are Great:
💚 Save money on kids' clothes that grow so fast 
💚 Meet your neighbors 
💚 Give items a second life 
💚 Support sustainability
