Mobile Barber in Bay Ridge – Cuts Hair in the Van
Photo: Anthony Martinez
Lee would never go for this because he loves Joe the Barber (4th Avenue and 95th – he’s only there on Saturdays)
Anthony shared the photo of Taha’s van (above). And then someone else shared that he loves this barber and his van is very clean and sanitary.
The barber has great hair so that is a good sign!
Someone else shared that a haircut on the van is $40. (On his Instagram it says higher prices). He’s coming to you, so you have to pay for that service. Some people may love that there is no wait. Maybe this barber can make aa deal with mothers who have multiple sons?
If you need the van, the phone number is: 347-615-1792 and Taha’s Instagram is: https://www.instagram.com/the_ce5ar.barber/

April 22, 2025Grand Sichuan House in Bay Ridge Closed
Grand Sichuan House at 8701 – 5th Avenue closed. They sold the restaurant a month ago. They have been closed for two weeks.
This is a well-loved place, so I am surprised they sold it.
The owner has another restaurant in Sunset Park. If I find out the address, I will share it here so you can still get your favorite Sichuan food.

April 21, 2025NY Yimby Wrote that Permits were Filed for the Homeless Shelter on 4th Avenue in Bay Ridge
Update: At the CB 10 Meeting on 4/22/25, Josephine remarked that the permits were approved for the homeless shelter. She said that she has requested someone to speak about this. (LOL no one has spoken about it since 2023)
NY Yimby’s website announced today that the permits were filed for a seven-story homeless shelter on 4th Avenue in Bay Ridge. I’m not sure how this is any different than permits that were previously filed (maybe the date was adjusted because they haven’t been doing any work?)
2023’s Records looks the same as what NY Yimby shared today. See here:
The proposed 80-foot-tall building is being made for 105 men. Councilman Justin Brannan said it was for Veteran’s. Brannan did not call for the City to accept community input on this project. I was unable to find any office that could confirm that this shelter was for veterans. The letter that Brannan, Gounardes and CB 10 received from NYC just says 105 men.
There are two cellar levels. And there is also a 30-foot-long rear yard.
In January 2024, the community protested outside of Brannan’s office because Justin Brannan failed to share the information with the community. Brannan’s staffer took photos of the protesters and Brannan posted the pictures on his Facebook page to try to shame them. Justin Brannan told the people in the towers that he was going to bring someone to speak to them about this project, but that didn’t happen.
Josephine at Community Board 10 only shared one sentence about the homeless shelter with the community. No one at the CB 10 was surprised or asked any questions about the short announcement (meaning: they were aware before the meeting). No updates were provided by CB 10 to the community. So our community board isn’t working for us either.

April 21, 2025Zipcar Wants Four Street Parking Spots in Bay Ridge/Dyker Heights – CB 10 Meeting 4/22
Last week, Community Board 10 held a committee meeting. Zipcar presented and they weren’t forthcoming with information.
First the Zipcar representative said: “We are actually new to CB10.” No, Zipcar has been in Bay Ridge for years – they are not new to our area.
When someone on CB 10 asked how many cars they had in the area, the Zipcar representative said they didn’t know. They could have easily checked on the app. Zipcar is in several locations in this community. There were cars available in our area over the busy holiday weekend. Enterprise is also a business in our community and they rents cars.
Zipcar want to take two parking spots near Owls Head Park at 120 – 68th Street. And they want two parking spots on 78th Street near 13th Avenue.
Thankfully, no one one Community Board 10 voted for Zipcar to take four parking spots. Private companies should not be taking public spaces.
Car sharing is not a new topic for Community Board 10. GetAround Car Sharing did a virtual presentation and then took spots from our community.
Back then, Senator Andrew Gounardes did not reveal his association with this company. But Queens residents found Gounardes and other Progressive politicians at a GetAround event right before they lost their parking spots in Queens. You can see that here:
https://getaround.com/blog/nyc-kickoff-event
You can hear Andrew Gounardes on video below:
We aren’t sure why Andrew Gouanardes was supporting GetAround, but he was too cowardly to tell our community. He definately does not understand businesses. It was announced at the Community Board 10 meeting that GetAround Car Share went out of business in North America.
This is the third time a carshare company is going after parking spots in Bay Ridge. In 2015, out community was covered by small white Cars2Go. That was Eric Adams when he was Brooklyn Borough President and the former head of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. Politicians shouldn’t be making bad choices for our community.
Every neighborhood is different. In Bay Ridge, many people drive because the R train did not receive the upgrades that other trains did. While Senator Gounardes sent out a flyers saying we were getting 8 minute service, no one in Bay Ridge has seen trains running every eight minutes. If trains were running correctly, we wouldn’t see Andrew Gounardes driving to his office in Downtown Brooklyn.
On Tuesday, April 22nd, the Zipcars are on the agenda for the CB 10 Meeting at 9941 Fort Hamilton Parkway at 7:00 pm.
It should be a lot clearer on their graphic (in the large paragraph below where it says car sharing).
