    Looking For a Good Nail Salon, Manicure/Pedicure (Bay Ridge/Bensonhurst)
by justmeandyou on Mon Dec 22, 08 12:56 pm

I usually go to the same person at Mimis nails on 87th and 3rd. Ann is good and takes her time.

I would like to find a salon to alternate, maybe a little closer to Bay Ridge Parkway but not necessary.

No rush jobs, or quickies. I like neat, tidy and someone that can file well. It bugs me when the manicurist looks around the salon more then she is looking at my nails...sorry just a little pet peeve. Smile

Thanks to all that reply!

    Has work stopped on the new Key Food on 69th St? (Bay Ridge/Bensonhurst)

The initial permits are still up but I've only seen a couple of workers doing anything with the place. When I looked in an open door last week, it looked like nothing has been done since early September.

    Ciao from Italy (Bay Ridge/Bensonhurst)
by dade on Thu Dec 04, 08 6:20 am

Hi everybody! I'm Davide from Verona, Italy, and I'm 34. I've been in Bensonhurst last june (during my vacation in New York) and I hanged out the streets around but I didn't know where really I could find real italian-american people.. The streets in the morning are quiet deserts, and I didn't find any italian club or pubs where I could come in, watch Italy soccer match and get on the people. I found a club nearby the Colosseo restaurant to watch Italy soccer match but people aren't very hospitable.. So I had to go back in Manhattan to see the match, 'cause really I didn't know where go. I found very pretty Bensonhurst, I don't know why but it come into my heart and I'd like to come back, a day..
I'm writing here hoping to meet some italian-american people to chat..
Could you tell me if this is the only one Bensonhurst's forum or site?
Ciao a tutti!
Davide

    Bay Ridge Co-op (Bay Ridge/Bensonhurst)

Does anyone know the progress of the proposed Bay Ridge Co-op?
It would be great to have affordable and healthy food nearby instead of traveling to Park Slope.
Thanks!

    Community Composting (Bay Ridge/Bensonhurst)
by kitten11204 on Thu Nov 20, 08 3:43 pm

I would like to know if Bensonhurst has any community composting sites.
If not I would like to find out how to create one. It's important not just for the plants but for reducing garbage waste. 27% of household garbage can be used for composting. Please keep me posted, Thank you.

There used to be a toy store on Bath Ave. and Bay Parkway where there is a plumbing store is now which is right next to Carvel. Does anyone remember the name of this store?
