IKEA Locations

I lived in Astoria (Queens, NY) for a while and this was my favorite Halal cart/food truck in NYC. They are on 34th Street and Steinway Street on the corner by a furniture store. I’m no longer living near the city, but craving Mahmoud’s beef kebabs with red sauce, their old BBQ sauce, and the soft bread with a light crunch to the crust. They used to have a BBQ sauce that was almost like a savory, thin steak marinade rather than a sweet, thick sauce you put on ribs - which I would combine with the hot sauce to lower the heat. Last time I went in 2025, they switched to actual BBQ sauce which made the experience terrible. So they had it the old way at least between 2015-2024. Anyone hav...

I bought my first gun today. Went to the store, told them my budget, and was shown two firearms. One was a Ruger 556 and the other was an IWI Zion. I rented and shot them both and found that the IWI was much nicer for me than the Ruger by a significant margin. The IWI also had better “furniture” than the Ruger and was only a $100 more. Great, so I bought it with the intention of starting to attend my local SRA chapter events. Well I get home and do my research and learn about the companies background- I should’ve figured by the name. Probably not the best look for me to bring it to the SRA events right?

It’s so soft and light, but I fear it’s the plywood of yarns. For context/my take: I recently picked up 4 big cakes of Cascade Aereo at my local secondhand craft shop, just enough to make myself the Ivy sweater by PetiteKnit. It’s unbelievably soft, and it’s largely been a pleasure to work with, but it sheds a tremendous amount of very fine fibers whenever it moves. I understand that this is a byproduct of its construction (nylon tube, loose fibers blown in and trapped), but that’s what worries me. I am not convinced this sweater will last as long as my plied wool sweaters— it’s like ikea furniture, made of little fragmented bits that I’m not convinced haven’t come from t...

Hey folks. Here’s the millionth post on this. I’m 31. In a few months am transitioning out of a 14 year career in grocery to pursue electrical. Took a surprising amount begging, borrowing, and stealing to get on with a crew, but through a couple of connections found a resi guy who just runs a small 10 man crew to take me on. I told him I didn’t have any experience, he said he prefers training someone from the start so there’s no bad habits already, hopefully that’s a good sign. He seems like a good guy and is very recommended by word of mouth. The pay’s going to be **** to start but it is what it is, I can’t spend another 35 years in grocery stores. I’m not a tool nov...

Is there such a thing as ‘Puzzlers Anonymous’, because I think I need to join 😅 These are all the puzzles I’ve bought this year and we’re only 1 month in 😐 I’ve promised myself I will stop buying, although I am not entirely sure I can keep this promise…. 😬 The upside is that I bought them either on sale or they were really cheap to begin with. I just really can’t resist a good deal 🙈 I’ve made photocollages of all the images, because taking pictures was too difficult with the lack of daylight. Here’s a list of all the puzzles. I’m including the brands, titles and piece count. (And no worries, the Wasgij? Pictures are just the Images on the Box. No spoilers...

There are two things in this world that can surmount any obstacle ever created. The first of these is love. Our capacity to love creates in us a drive and purpose that goes beyond survival. We do insane and superhuman things in the name of love, things that would not be possible under any other circumstances. Tiny women lift wrecked cars off their injured husbands. Men carry their wives through ten miles of snow to get them to a hospital. Parents sacrifice their lives for their children. Such is the power of love. But there is another force that is just as powerful as love. Human intelligence. We will never know who first discovered how to make fire, but that act sparked a revolu...

I am reupholstering my couch and looking for a high-quality plush chenille fabric. I’ve been to the shops downtown in the fashion district but the whole experience left a lot to be desired. I want to be able to take samples home as my couch is huge and it’s a big decision as well as an expensive one. I live in the valley but I’m happy to travel. If anyone knows any good places that have a nice inventory of chenille/plush furniture fabric I would be so appreciative. Thanks in advance! (?)

Hi - looking for the communities thoughts / advice. My partner and rent an apartment in Cambridge (almost $5k/month) and our in-unit dryer has been broken for over two weeks now. The dryer was very old and at the end of its lifecycle; replacement parts are no longer manufactured. Despite this, the landlord initially attempted repairs rather than replacing the unit, which extended the downtime… we coordinated with her contractor / technicians on her behalf for multiple visits. She finally decided to pull the trigger on a replacement dryer, and gave us 0 notice on target delivery, stating “delivery is up to the stores schedule” so we made ourselves available ALL weekend and cleared out...

definitely not a furniture store

So I’m 34 weeks pregnant tomorrow. Today I woke up and hurt to walk, I had to hold onto furniture while walking around my house to get around. It feels like a dull pain all across my lower stomach. My lower back hasn’t been in the best shape either. I’ve had round ligament pain my entire pregnancy here and there that eventually goes away, but today for some reason it has not gone away. I went to the store and it hurt to walk I had to walk super slow and I looked like I was limping. I don’t think I’m having contractions, I have no other symptoms no water breaking yet. Could this be early labor or do you think it’s just ligament pain?

Hey everyone, My partner and I are finally heading to Japan after our 2020 trip got cancelled due to COVID. It will be the first time for both of us and I am hoping to get feedback on whether or not we've allocated an appropriate amount of time in each area. **Background information on us:** We are in our early 40s and both enjoy art, nature/wildlife (hikes, gardens, etc). I am a sucker for a museum! Though we aren't foodies, neither one of us is picky with food and are open to trying new things. We like gaming and anime, but not as much as we used to. A lot of is nostalgia! We would love to experience the night life in Japan (we both love house, he likes trance, I love drum &...

My family and I were just at the Gate Parkway IKEA and they came over the speakers saying to exit the store immediately and that they were having "technical difficulties". Seemed like even employees were told to leave Anyone know what's up with that? Thanks

I recently moved and find myself with more stuff than my house can fit. I dont want to sell everything as I'll be moving again to a bigger place next year and I am quite fond of my furniture. Are there any temporary storage options in Islamabad where I can pack up and box up my stuff and have it stored temporarily? If need be, id like to have regular access so I can keep an eye on it and swap out things. Any help/leads would be appreciated. I googled it and there are movers and packers with the same generic GPT text. I wanted to see if anyone has real experience with any solution.

They say it’s hard to mourn someone if they haven’t properly died. I always assumed that feeling was only applicable to breakups, or missing persons cases. I understand that kind of mourning goes much deeper. My wife and I bought farmland in Vermont about a year ago. It was cheap and run-down. To my disappointment, people don’t discount the selling price of a house just because someone died in it. People are less superstitious these days. The real reason this land was so cheap, was because the one farmhouse already put on it was so derelict, having been abandoned. Nearly uninhabitable. I don’t say this lightly: thank God for her brother, who lived in the area and let us set u...
