Replacement Gas Tank for Barbecue Closest to Bay Ridge

bay ridge propane tank exchange bbq barbecue

Where can I get a propane refill or exchange my gas tank for the grill? 

Tanks with propane gas are sold in NYC. It’s not legal to fill tanks in NYC, so companies fill them outside of NYC and then exchange tanks with you.  

Here’s who is selling it nearby:

  • Lowes is the cheapest – $24.00 (includes tax) – this includes your empty tank for exchange (See here)  and  $74.00 if you don’t have a tank to exchange. 
  • Home Depot  2970 Cropsey Avenue – it cost $23.93 with your replacement or $70.75 for a full tank without a replacement

What if I don’t want to lose the fresh new tank that came with the new grill? You can dropoff your tank with  Liberty Gas at 600 Smith Street in Red Hook to get that tank refilled.

This place used to have the tanks: Alm Plumbing and Heating 8728 – 18th Avenue, but I don’t think they are there any more.

Gelato’s Truck Was Towed in Bay Ridge

Frank shared the photo above.

Gelato was closed down two weeks ago. Now they brought their food truck to 86th Street to sell outside. Then they got towed. (NY Post Story)

At first we laughed, but our tax dollars are paying for these tows.

Bay Ridge, elect people who are going to read the bills they vote for, so we don’t keep wasting our tax dollars.

Bay Ridge Has Become Immune to The Racetrack



The good weather has brought all the drivers to our neighborhood. They rev their engines and get ready to race. The problem is they race until around 2:00 am before going home.

Is Bay Ridge immune to the speeding?

The circular tire track marks on 4th Avenue and the Bay Ridge Parkway intersection have people worried.

Lottery Opened for Bay Ridge Towers – June 2024

Update: The results from this lottery will be out on December 19th.

In September, some people received letters that they were on the waiting list (if any of the preliminary applicants didn’t meet the requirements).

The Bay Ridge Courier announced the lottery for the The Bay Ridge Towers. So far, it is only for studio apartments. This is middle income affordable housing through the Mitchell Lama program.

To request a lottery application you send a self-stamped address envelope. It must reach them by 9:00 am on June 24th (so aim to be earlier):

Honest Ballot Office

27246 Grand Central Parkway

Floral Park, NY 11005

This lottery is for both of the buildings.

After everyone sends in their application, they do the lottery for the order that 300 people will contacted when a studio becomes available. Some people are lucky and get called right away, but many wait on the list for years.

Some people, who don’t want a studio will apply for it because once someone lives in a building, they will transfer to a larger apartment when it becomes available.

Good Luck!
