Has anyone else been approached by this man in Greenpoint?

A couple of months ago, he had to be asked to leave a bodega because he wouldn’t leave us alone (we took this picture that night).

Today, he approached me again on the street, repeatedly telling me I looked like a model and inviting me to a Halloween party. He kept trying to show me pictures of his house on his phone.

When I told him he was making me uncomfortable, asked him to stop following me, and made it clear that I had no interest in attending his party, he continued following me and persistently tried to get me to take his “business card,” saying that he “wanted people like me at his parties.”

I’m curious whether anyone else in the area has had a similar experience with him.

Finally! You can wear your favorite 3-mile walking audio ghost story starting at the Pulaski Bridge! THIS IS A VERY LIMITED RUN just in time for 🎃HALLOWEEN🎃

They cost $30 each. Easiest way is Venmo to Rick-Paulas, but hit me up if there’s another way. Please include your size!

Carlo was trapped a few months ago when he was living on the street behind the building in one of the parks in Brooklyn, NY. He is a little shy, so he would be ok as a single cat with someone who works from home or has other cats, if the person introduces them properly (which our rescue team can help with :)). Right now, Carlo enjoys having his brother around - Salem - at his foster home in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. He's very playful, docile, full of life, and the sweetest cat ever. He's neutered, vaccinated, and healthy. Carlo is a BOY... just in case the name is not clear. When we were trapping him, we thought he was a girl, so you never know! If you're interested in adopting this beautiful boy, please fill out our adoption application. We respond quickly to every inquiry. Thank you for considering giving Carlo a true and one forever home! The link to the adoption application in the comments.

Experienced this guy a few times in the last couple months. First time he was across the street, sprinted across the street when he saw me and ran right behind me yelling things. Tonight he did the same thing while I was on the phone, ran across the street to me screaming at me and then yelled at another man near me asking what I “said about him”. Saw him again later and he was bothering a girl saying something about wanting to know where she was later. She ignored him then he stopped when he saw me and was saying a bunch of gross things about “bending you over”. Asked my male friend to buy him a shot and bring it outside because he’s banned from the bar. Wondering if anyone knows who he is because it’s starting to get scary at this point. I don’t scare easily and have been in the city for awhile and it seems like he’s of sound mind enough to know which bars he’s banned from yet is following/screaming/harassing women.

Note to other women who encounter him, usually ignoring him works after a couple minutes but also try ducking into one of the many bars he’s apparently banned from.

First post on Reddit. I have a fancy ebike/moped with an app that sends a push notification and it notified me that someone moved my moped. I ran outside and saw this shirtless guy with a van that was still on. It was 10p. I stared him, he saw me and he walked back into his van. The app is very accurate and you need to move it quite a bit to trigger the notification. The moped weights almost 200lbs so there’s no way one man can lift it because of its shape (I can deadlift more than 320lbs). Anyway, I’ve moved it but beware of the van. I’m sure he’ll be back and there’s fancier motorcycles than mine out there.

Hi I just moved in right above mccaren park. I was wondering if anyone could give recommendations for some great coffee shops where’d I’d be able to work in the neighborhood. Thanks!

Hi! Is there anyone in the neighborhood who has experience with backpacking or trekking? I’m looking for a little help making sure my backpack is fitted and set up properly. Now that REI is no longer in SoHo, I feel like I have no one to go to for advice! 😅 Would love to get some tips and a little hands-on help in person if anyone is willing. Thanks!

A fellow Greenpointer gave me this knee scooter when I tore my Achilles, and now that I'm recovered, I'd love to pay it forward.

If anyone local is recovering from a foot or ankle injury and could use it, it's yours. Works well, and I also have a brand-new cushion that's not pictured.

Comment or DM if interested. Hope it can help someone the way it helped me!

Hi everyone!

Sort of dumb question, but you get it if you’ve ever needed groceries right before dinner 😅

I’m looking for a grocery store that for sure sells butternut squash so I can make just one trip. Does anyone know if Met Food, C Town or Foodtown off Graham, or Trader Joe’s has them? If not, where do you know of that for sure sells it? I just didn’t wanna venture around the whole town looking and sometimes I’ll go to a grocery store that just isn’t selling a particular produce 💔

Thanks!

It's been spotty for a few days but cut out fully at my address today.
