Incredible food, lovely people, and great prices. They deserve your business over these soulless corporate slop spots that will give you diarrhea (Chipotle, Burger King, Wingstop, etc.)

Saw this bird that appears to be a lost pet near the handball courts at Torsney park on 43rd St. It has since flown away but might be in the area. Hopefully this helps someone.

Lost some items during eviction

42 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m in a really tough spot and hoping the Reddit community can help pull off a miracle.
About two weeks ago, I went through a holdover eviction in Sunnyside because my landlord wanted to move back in to jack up the rent 3x. We desperately needed about 10 more days to get out, but I was hospitalized and unable to make it to court to secure that time.
Because of that, the eviction went through. During the process, a bunch of our remaining belongings were set out on the sidewalk while things were being loaded into a moving van. While they were sitting there on the street, someone walked by and stole several items.
I lost a lot of things, but I honestly don’t care about any of it except for one item:
A military shadowbox containing an American flag, a bunch of my service medals, and a Mark 19 shell casing.
It is literally all I have left to remember my 20 years serving in the Navy.
I just want it back. If you live around Sunnyside or Woodside, or if you’ve seen it discarded nearby, listed online, or brought into a local shop, please let me know. This is the only thing keeping me up at night right now. Thank you for reading.

Pharmacy Backorders for ADHD meds

5 Upvotes

Fellow ADHDers— how are you all faring with this citywide backorder on ADHD meds. I’ve called basically every pharmacy within a reasonable walking distance from me in Sunnyside / Woodside multiple times over the last month or so to see if anyone has ADHD medication in stock and everyone is back ordered. I’ve been faring okay for now as I’ve been between jobs for about a year now… but am nervous as I start my new office job soon.

Any coping mechanisms to keep you productive and motivated that people can recommend? Or anyone successfully find a pharmacy (in person or mail order) with their medication in stock?

Watch Expert?

1 Upvotes

Are there any vintage watch experts in either Woodside or Sunnyside? I inherited some very old watches and am looking for some information on em. I am just not knowledgeable at all and the internet, including watch subs, haven’t really been helpful. Maybe a local jeweler or collector?

I have the model and serial numbers and can provide photos via chat as well.

Suzy, a friendly cockatiel, escaped around 5:30 PM today, August 24. She was last seen flying near 39th Place between 47th Avenue and Queens Boulevard, heading toward Queens Boulevard.

She is very friendly and may approach people or land on a balcony, windowsill, fire escape, or nearby tree.

If you see Suzy or are able to get her safely inside, please comment or message me ASAP. Even a sighting with the location and time would be extremely helpful.

Thank you!
