I love the idea of yard sale. Let's ask Elizabeth if we need a permission to do it during month of June.

Sushi Please (4F)

Guys,

I have been in Manhattan for years. I moved to 70W for space but there is something I miss religiously on Sundays: SUSHI. How desesperate was I when I found out not one Japanese does deliver in our building. Can you help?

Message from Ahn & Brian (1M)

Thank you so much Olivier! This is website a great idea! We’ve been thinking for a while that it would be nice to have community meetings or get-togethers. We know there are a lot of artists, musicians, and photographers in the building and thought it would be great to network and maybe set up something so that we could have an open studio night/walkthrough type of thing. Anybody into that?

Another idea we had was to have a yard sale in our courtyard now that the weather is getting better. I don’t know about you, but we’ve collected quite a bit of junk (I mean good stuff) over the time we’ve been here (we moved in Jan 2003, when the building was still under construction). Maybe we could even incorporate a barbeque/picnic as well! I’m not sure if we would need special permission from the building company.

For people who have looked at 101 Wyckoff, how do those places compare to 70W? What made you decide to stay? We’ve been meaning to set up an appt, but never got around to it.

Regarding the basement question, I’m pretty sure this building doesn’t have a basement.

As far as eats, our favorites are Northeast Kingdom, Life Café (Café 983) – at 983 Flushing 718-386-1133, an Italian place called Il Gusto on Forest 718-418-1112, and a Chinese place called China Garden on Irving 718-418-2888. All of them deliver to this building. Life Café has a slammin’ brunch too and they do some fun activities on weeknights (it’s a bar too). Not exactly walking distance from our building, but it’s not too difficult to get there. Anybody know any Japanese or Thai places that will deliver here?

If you want to see the stuff we do here in 1M please visit: www.blightproductions.com and www.artorsomethinglikeit.com.

Thanks!

This is a great idea! thanks for setting it up....
I’ve been hopeful about a condo conversion but have not actually heard anything...when we were seriously considering buying over @ 101 wyckoff the Owners of 70W were very interested in the asking prices across the street....i imagine that 70 wyckoff needs a few more years of rental income to recuperate its renovation costs....a condo conversion would be great though... Has anyone noticed if a lot of people from 70W moved to 101?

Also – for those of us who live on the SW side of the buildiing – let’s get rid of that truck this summer - please .....i’d rather not wake up @ 4am to the sound of that truck... We can place noise complaints through NYC.GOV or by calling 311.....
Has anyone ever been in the cellar of 70W? I ask because I am looking for darkroom space in the building...does anyone have anything available? I’d rather use something closer than Office Ops http://www.officeops.org

We’ve been here for about 2 years now...northeast kingdom and fortunato’s pizza on knickerbocker are both excellent. The Linden Hill Cemetary has one of the best views of manhattan skyline from the ground anyways...(woodward ave)...and historic stockholm street @ woodward is one of a few historic sites in our neighborhood...

Going Condo???

I'm sure we all heard the rumors. Does anyone have more info about the building going condo?

70 Wyckoff (2B)

Hey! In 2B, nice seeing someone that wants to create a
community feel in this building.
Tell us more about you and what you like about the
'hood.
Where are your fave eats?
Mine are Northeast Kingdom. The Chinese place on
Irving and looking for a good PR & chicano place, all
the ones I have been to aren't very good.
Any suggestions?????

Being First!

Hi neighbors,

My name is Olivier and I live in Apt 4F. I launched several blogs and love the concept of building communities around common topics. In this case, it is our building. 70 Wyckoff.
The goal is to collect and share all important information about our building, our neighborhood, our area. I moved over a year ago in the building and love it. I don't know about you, who you are or why you move here. This is the opportunity to share. Enjoy!
