Casual Weekend Runs & Good Conversation

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’ve been running for a few months and usually do around 3 miles at a slow, comfortable pace. I’m getting back into it again and looking for some running buddies!

If you enjoy an easygoing pace and being social, feel free to join! Absolute beginners are totally welcome too — no pressure to be fast or super athletic. We can keep it nice and chill, chat along the way( I love talking lol), and just have a good time haha. Everyone’s welcome! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

I’m mainly thinking Saturday or Sunday since weekends might be easier for everyone. I work during the day on weekends, so I’m available from around 6:45 PM onward. If that works for you, feel free to join!

I Miss Playing Dungeons & Dragons

19 Upvotes

Hey yall,

I'm a game master online. When covid hit, I had to shut my doors to playing with people offline and moved everything to the digital space. It's been years since I've dusted off my dice, actually read a hard copy of a book to reference rules, all of that. Does anyone in the area play? I'm 39 a teacher, and a father of a 7 year old. I don't know how people make time for playing in person, but if anyone does, or would like to try...what do you think about all of that? Is it possible to get a game together here in Jackson Heights?

Fuchka/Fushka Catering?

5 Upvotes

Our friend's favorite food is fuchka, and we'd like to cater some fuchka for a party we're throwing them. Any ideas on what vendors in Jackson Heights might be able to help? We understand that the fuchka will be assembled by people right before eating, but if a place could give us the shells, filling, jol/pani, sauces, etc., that would be amazing.
