    Where is 749?

    Here at DDF we are nice and kind to n00bs.

    749 is the dormitory building more or less across the street from 770.

    Maybe Wiki should be updated with buildings that are globally known just by their number, without any need to mention what street they are on.
    I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

    Sure, you can add it to the wiki.

    Though we are more about food around here.

    If we were nice and kind to n00bs would we really send them to 749?

    LOL.

    When a person desperately needs a men's mikvah, and doesn't have a key to Mikvah Reuven, which would allow access at any time (including right now), so yes, 749 is apparently the next best option (IINM they actually change the water every day).

    I want to see the trip report from the poor innocent DDFer from BP or Flatbush who actually follows @ExGingi's advice and goes straight into 749 unprepared.
