1,300 People Showed Up for Shabbat Dinner at Ayat in Ditmas Park

In December, Abdul Elani and his wife, Ayat opened another Ayat Restaurant at 1616 Cortelyou Road. They started to receive hateful messages.

Instead of responding with hate, the Elani’s invited their neighbors for a Shabbat dinner. Abdul Elani said that @lev.nyc prepared the Shabbat dinner of kosher style fish with salads and they didn’t want to get paid. (That is so nice of Lev.NYC)

I’m glad to see the line went around the corner and sooooo many people attended.

I saw a little hate on social media about the event. The Elani’s businesses have been in Bay Ridge for many years. Don’t aim your frustration and anger about what’s going on overseas at this peaceful and hardworking couple.

Interestingly, there was a huge bread in many of the pictures at the event. I wonder if that was made by Ayat or by Lev.NYC.

Panda Sneaker Cleaning Shop in Sunset Park

Panda Sneaker Cleaning Shop is at 509 – 59th Street. It’s across the street from OLPH Church (close to the pharmacy on 5th Avenue.)

I had no idea that this type of shop existed in the area. They were able to restore a pair of sneakers to look like new!

They will even pick up shoes if you are in 1.5 miles and have at least two pairs to clean.

Smaller Garbage Cans on Street Corners

Smaller garbage cans are appearing on some corners of 3rd Avenue. Who thought this was a good idea?

Old garbage can fills us fast. Larger cans were needed.

On the new can, the side opens and the can comes out. Those hinges are going to rust and the doors will be left open. It’s not better.

There is a large sized can that many parts of NYC got and that would be better for 3rd Avenue, where there is pedestrian garbage and also household garbage because some apartments have strict rules about when garbage can be put out.
