The Downtown Brooklyn Thread

it's a good hood imo, right near the park and all

What's the broker's interest in steering you to Crown Heights vs Prospect Lefferts?

probably has a place to rent there
welcome to NOW

yeah, she specialized in crown heights ("i used to try to rent out places in prospect lefferts, but...ICK! CROWN HEIGHTS IS WHERE IT'S AT!"

she also expressed some disbelief that i hadn't heard about her or read about her before. she's a big deal

everybody in bk is a big deal dude, we're in bk
fucking get with it #YOLO #SWAG #KILLYOSELF

oh jesus christ realtor delusions of grandeur. amazing.

"i'm kind of a big real"

Wait Karl, you don't know Crown Heights Cindy?!

does anyone have a recommendation for burly moving dudes? i'm moving into a 6th floor apartment and i'm pretty sure the place doesn't have a freight elevator, so i'm splurging so that my first day in NYC doesn't end up with me being exhausted and frustrated and punching a wall

i don't, but maybe check this out?

Get used to splurging

If you hire a mover, here's a tip: Hide yourself in the furniture that you hired them to move. This way you don't have to walk up the stairs

lol

tbh i don't think a burly college hunk would even notice my extra weight.

i'm calling the super tomorrow to see if by chance there's a freight elevator, but i doubt it (6 floor building)

i am taking a google streetview stroll around my new neighborhood

btw xposts mookie thanks for that link. i'll probably end up trying it out, i'll let you know how it works

Eat doubles

Supers love to be called on Sundays

ugh, you're right

i've got ten minutes til sunday, i'll just do it right now so they won't be mad

I've used veteran movers and rabbit movers. I would recommend both. we tipped generously.
Veteran more expensive for a shorter move but I think we simply had waaaay more shit for that move than for our earlier one?

I use cheap guys off craigslist, whoever has the best rates for the day I need to move. Not always the most dependable though.

^^^^^

had good luck so far, but I move about once a decade BECAUSE ANYTHING ELSE IS MADNESS

well if I could I would move never

i am in an apartment in brooklyn. it is done. i hit a car with my penske truck as i was attempting to grab a sweet parking space in front of the building. mistakes were made

congrats

Woo.

Hi, zs!!!!! Welcome to our fair/terrifying/frankly most of it smells like garbage and piss city!

:) thanks!

i am still trying to unpack and figure out wtf is going on but it'd be nice to meet up in the near future with anyone who is game. but i got a little tipsy last night and bought tickets to iceland so i will be gone for a while starting saturday.

let me know when you're back and i'll get you dinner.

Welome to our borough, KM. Just a few more people need to move here and I can quit this hideous board. (also deGrom pitches at Citi again on the 12th)

Coney Island Ave def had THAT AUGUST SMELL this morning.

iceland? around the 17th or 29th, then.

Wait I thought Iceland was on 23rd and Lex

Drink 40s under the KENTILE ghost

Anyone been to Union Pool?

My first date with my wife was there many years ago, only because it was convenient to trains. It's a terrifying meat-market now and a half decent cozy live-venue. Best to avoid busy hours, unless you're 23, single and love crowds.

*None of the above*

I'm staying home, as former ilxor Casuistry once said.

saw Pissed Jeans there in June, hadnt been in years

ive been to union pool

kudos

no, i am just a man like any other

i've been to union pool

I've been to the Bristol carling academy it's the same deal as that

ive been to union hall

union pool >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>union hall

union pool is, as dan alluded to, a fine place to see a show. most of their sound guys seem to know what they're doing.
avoid like the plague friday/saturday nights, and most weeknights in general too i suppose.

who wants to go to hill country bbq/fried chicken with me sometime?
i went once, it was delicious.

also, OTHER HALF BREWERY = best beers in brooklyn

Union Pool's shows have gotten better (sound used to be bad) even though the bar itself has probably gotten worse.
