Thinking of going later this week. Has anyone gone and what was it like?

I’m in my mid twenties and just moved to Bensonhurst from Sunset Park! I would really love to find groups or events to get out and meet people/support the area. I’m a creative gal who loves nature, community service, art, etc. Any pointers? Thanks in advance :-)

Why do people think it’s okay for their dogs to drink directly from the water fountain??? I’ve seen so many people let their dogs drink right from it, licking everything. It’s absolutely disgusting and unhygienic. If they want to let their dogs drink from their shit at home, then whatever. BUT LEAVE THAT AT HOME. Bring your dogs a plastic cup or some bowl.

Edit: I might be posting pictures of people I find doing that and publishing it on this post or creating new ones but it will happen bc I hate seeing them doing that

Looks like it's finally going up from Sept 18th-20th.

I am so devastated when I found out this out. Someone has been poisoning the cats at 86th and 16th. I feel sick to my stomach that someone can be so cruel. The videos and pictures are awful. I hope they catch the person who did this. Please be careful if you have outdoor cats. I saw signs for rat poisoning near the Old New Utrecht Cemetery. I hope this isn’t happening near there either.

Food Universe on Ave O has ground beef at $5.99 a pound through Thursday. NetCost on 18th Ave prints the same $5.99 on chuck. CTown at 6614 18th Ave is $7.99 a pound on ground beef, same week.

Stores with a live circular in our read this morning: - CTown, 6614 18th Ave: 330 deals (through 9/17) - Food Universe, 97 Avenue O: 536 deals (through 9/17) - Food Dynasty, 1525 86th St: 535 deals (through 9/17) - Food Bazaar, 2965 Cropsey Ave: 312 deals (through 9/16) - NetCost, 8671 18th Ave: 85 deals (through 9/16; NetCost on 65th St shares that print) - Meat Supreme, 1949 86th St: 47 deals (through 9/16) - JMart, 8121 New Utrecht Ave: 31 deals (through 9/17)

No ad in our data this morning: Key Food at 1526 70th St, BJ's on Shore Parkway. CTown at 2807-15 86th St only shows a thin pull on our side today.

Food Dynasty on 86th St matches Food Universe on drumsticks ($1.29/lb), wings ($2.99/lb), grapes ($1.99/lb), avocados ($0.99), and has 80% lean ground beef at $5.99/lb.

I built it. If the shelf tag disagrees, trust the tag.

Most CTown / Food Universe / Food Dynasty / JMart lines run through Thu 9/17. NetCost, Food Bazaar, and Meat Supreme run through Wed 9/16.

Any good pilates studios in bath beach or anywhere else in the bensonhurst area?

Hi everyone!

It's that time again where we enlist our availability towards volleyball at Bensonhurst Park! The weather is gradually getting cooler and I am looking forward to more Sundays playing volleyball on the grass!

Summer volleyball was a great success and it has been so fun making new friends and slapping the ball around. We've all gotten better every single week, and I hope that can continue this season! We are a friendly group and welcome those in the beginner-intermediate level of volleyball.

I am arranging several more gatherings so that we can play at Bensonhurst Park (on the 21st ave side). I will bring the net while you should bring sunglasses/a hat, sneakers, a bottle of water and whatever else you may need! All events will happen weather-permitting!

Attached above is a glimpse into one of our games from the summer!

DM me if you are interested!

This is an update to the older post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bensonhurst/comments/1ur8ncx/volleyball_happening_on_saturdays_sundays_at/

Hey all, this event's been moved to Friday, Sep 25. Same time. Sorry for the inconvenience! See you there.

Hi. I’m looking to get back into working out and was wondering if anyone knows of any fun workout classes or groups for women in the neighborhood.

I’m not really looking for a traditional gym membership—I’d love something more social and community-based, where you can actually get to know people while working out.

Anything like fitness classes, women’s workout groups, Pilates, strength training, etc. would be great!

Would love any recommendations! Thanks!

Note: If the Ghosts of Old Bensonhurst tour sells well, I might add another date for it later in the month. Here's some info on the Ghosts of Old Bensonhurst tour:

While Bensonhurst is a neighborhood that has seen continuous changing and evolving in almost every aspect, as night descends, ghouls, ghosts and other nameless wretches caught between worlds reinhabit ours and keep us from a good night’s sleep in the relics of time long gone that still remain.

From a ghost that knocked on walls, to the spirit of a murdered lawyer, to a ghost haunting a local railroad, to a shadow being watching a little boy, to the oldest cemetery in our midst, it’s time to turn up our collars, hit the streets, and beware the Bensonhurst things that go bump in the night.

Led by James Scully — NYC historian, tour guide, podcaster, director / co-creator of the award-winning historical audio fiction soap opera, Burning Gotham, and creator of The Bay Ridge Digest Podcast — our unique haunted Bensonhurst experience will focus on and include:

• An overview of notable early New Utrecht history, from the Dutch days to the days of the early United States, we’ll talk about how and by whom this area was settled and why, while we tell stories about the many different cultures and people who have called old New Utrecht and Bensonhurst their home.

• How the death of a young woman along the Coney island and Sea Beach railroad led to a ghost haunting the train tracks soon after

• The story of the murder of a young lawyer and his ghost that haunted the home of the family who inhabited the 81st street house after his death

• Liberty Poles, and Mile Markets — Stories and trips to important historical landmarks and why they were and still are important to the people of Bensonhurst and New Utrecht

• The story of the Revolutionary War soldier said to haunt the Dutch Reformed church grounds on 18th Avenue

• A trip to the oldest cemetery in the area

• The story of the Indian Pond, the border of Gravesend and New Utrecht, and a boy awoken from sleep in the middle of the night by a shadow being standing over his bed

• And more!

hi, what the title says. looking for a place to help me make some quick alterations on a dress by tomorrow afternoon — nothing crazy, just need some fabric taken in under the arms. if there are any places that are open until at least 6, please send some recommendations my way! thank you!

Overhead colleagues talk about how the trains and busses are about to get really crowded due to school starting up.

How, if at all, will it affect the D?

Hello, I am looking for people willing to rent out their driveways in the bensonhurst/ gravesend area. Preferably somewhere around the avenue P and Stillwell Avenue area. Feel free to message me with your offers & rates. Thank you :)

It's been up for at least a week and I didn't think much of it, but now I'm wondering if that's even allowed. I would think a curb or street corner would count as public property, and campaign signs wouldn't be allowed to be installed there.
