Co-op Hallways Reno Costs?


Hi – I live in a small, 4 story co-op building. The hallways need new paint and new carpet, and I was wondering if anyone here has done this recently and could give me a ballpark estimate of the costs. (I searched the archive, but could not turn up anything.) Any insight will be appreciated! Thanks.

Help with Double Parking Rules?


I just moved my car in a double-parked spot for street cleaning. (This is tolerated by the DOT on my north Slope block.) I was across the street from a hydrant, though, so someone kindly left a message on my phone telling me that I would be ticketed – that double-parking is only allowed as a mirror image of what would be allowed on the side that is being cleaned.

I moved my car to be on the safe side, but I have never heard of this rule before. Since double-parking is technically illegal, the DOT website is of no use. Does anyone know the scoop?

Monday dinner deals?


There are a ton of great restaurant and bar specials going on now, but I can never seem to remember what is going on where and on which night.

Can anyone recommend a good special deal for tonight (Monday), preferably in Park Slope?

(I do remember the Steinhof $6 goulash, but am wondering what other options are out there… lowbrow, high-brow or anywhere in between is fine.)

Thanks!
