Hello!

I'm a graduate student photojournalist currently working on a photo essay about the various ways people honor their ancestors on Día de los Muertos and the days preceding. I'm looking for people of all ages around Sunset Park who would be open to being photographed and sharing a bit about their altars and celebrations with me.

We will of course make time to chat beforehand, but for a bit more context, here are some examples of potential shots:

- you/your loved ones at an altar you've created

- you holding an ancestral/family object that means a great deal to you

- an intimate family gathering, etc

Please note I'm not looking for large community gatherings/parades/festivals (I did attend yesterday's parade on 5th Ave though!) so please only reach out if you'd be open to your personal altar or celebration being photographed.

I myself am Mexican-American and celebrate in my own way, so rest assured your space and celebrations are very sacred to me and will be photographed with the utmost care.

Please DM me with any questions. Thank you!

Hi neighbors! I'm making give away bags for my son's 6th birthday and would really rather avoid Amazon. Are there any stores in the area that sell cheap bulk toys that would be appropriate?

Thank you!

I don't know if she lives here, if she was dumped or if she was waiting for someone.

She jumped right in my lap and continued sunbathing.

I was wondering if anyone knew her situation? If she was claimed, unclaimed, anything like that?

ETA: I'm very relieved to hear that this cat is a member of a cared for colony at IC. Thanks to anyone who chimed in

I have work to do in the area and would love to have friends to talk to while there. I hope everyone reading this has a great day ❤️

Cheapest chicken I found in Sunset Park this week is Perdue drumsticks at Pioneer on 5th Ave, 79¢ a pound through Saturday, next to whole pork shoulder at $1.49.

CTown, Bravo, Key Food and Ideal started new ads today that run through Thursday 10/29. I couldn't pull ads for Hong Kong Supermarket, Fei Long or the small 5th Ave markets, so they're not in here.

These come off a free NYC grocery price map I made: https://sbnyc.app/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=evergreen&utm_content=reddit-sunsetpark-20261023-p-cbff6a62

Shelf tag wins if it's different from the ad.

I live in the neighborhood and I’m looking for a guitar teacher in the area to go to every other week. I’m a beginner/ maybe intermediate player and I’m looking to improve more within the folk/ bluegrass realm. Also a big Elliot Smith fan and want some help figuring out some of his songs. What are my best options?

Anyone knows what happened at 59st Station (R, N) at around 6pm?

Does anyone in the North Sunset Park area have a dog walker or dog walking company they’ve been happy with? I’m having a hard time finding a company that serves this area. Around 29th and 4th Ave.

Going to lean into the alliteration here and say: Flynn is friendly, and fluffy, and fosterless.

His story is also super sad. A Sunset Park family was breeding cats and as you can imagine, the situation spiraled. They had 20 cats in an apartment and, to prevent more babies, they singled out the 10 boys and dumped them on the street. These are housecats that have no idea how to survive outside, they just kept following people around, hoping someone would scoop them up. Flynn is one of the 10 and is desperate to get out of a crate and curl up on your couch. Please reach out if you're interested in fostering!

I guess this was the "ICE near Parlay" that was posted and deleted earlier this morning.

It was actually a raid on the elderly day care next to Parlay. (It's listed as "Happy Adult Day Care" on google maps).

The other spot that got raided was on Fort Hamilton in Borough Park is also called Happy Adult Day Care. No clue if the businesses are related.

God I’m sure plenty of people have complained. I’ve been in the neighborhood for a few years. Rarely end up at industry city other than for Sahadi’s, but we had a friend visiting who wanted to check it out. I checked hours and we thought we had till 8 to get food at most places. By 7:10 everything was already closed up. With the fight that the community put up to keep this place away….i just can’t comprehend why they would cater it only to the employees around IC and not try to give the actual local community enjoyment of the space as well.

That’s all ugh

No offense to anyone, but is this the best possible use of this land?

Any plans to convert it to something else? It just seems like a lot of nothing going on in a very prime spot.

Anyone have suggestions for where to get great pancakes in the neighborhook?

Slimak is very good but I want to see if there are any others I should try.
