I want to generate a list of visual artists working in NYC. Just the ones with established, active careers and gallery representation -- this is so I can get a new internship. I'm especially interested in artists in their 30s and 40s.

I'm looking for really good ice cream in Brooklyn, NY. I'd be willing to cross the river for something extraordinary, but I'd like to focus on what's available in Brooklyn proper. Personal experience and recommendations are what I'm looking for, rather than a laundry list of places to try.

I want to make a photograph that depicts/evokes 'Brooklyn' as a wedding gift for someone who grew up there. I don't want to use the Brooklyn Bridge (too common) or the Botanical Garden (she wanted to have her wedding there but it fell through). Interior or exterior recommendations are equally welcome.

A friend of mine has received a job offer in the Flatbush Avenue/Brooklyn College area of Brooklyn -- the last stop on the #5 train. She knows nothing of this area, and wants to know if it's a safe area to work, and whether the commute back to Manhattan (often at night) will be a concern.

Does anyone know a place where I can play piano in Brooklyn? I am living in Cobble Hill until August, and am looking for a place to keep in practice. I was bumming out at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music for a while, but it's not too convenient to travel to and it's pricey ($15/hr.) I am not a classical player, so don't need a place for hours a day. In fact, I would be happy with two hours or so a week.

NYCCommuteFilter: What is it like to commute from Brooklyn to Staten Island in the morning over the Verrazano Bridge by bus? I can find the bus routes and the google maps and everything but I wonder what the experience is actually like (I am considering working in Staten Island). Google maps says it takes 16 minutes from Bay Ridge to Silver Lake Park but that sounds impossibly speedy.
