On India St between Manhattan and Franklin, about halfway down the block somewhere close to 99-103 India St. Anyone able to identify the purple substance? Tried to identify it via AI and couldn't get a strong enough answer.

Hi, looking for Mexican grocery products, specifically where they have a wall of bunch of dried stuff in the clear plastic bags, like oregano, chiles, etc. TIA!

Our rock ‘n’ roll godmother 🤘

There have been some large DEP projects over the past few years in central Queens upgrading the combined sewer system to alleviate flooding.

We’ve added tens of thousands of people and Billions of dollars in waterfront high rises — where is the long-term infrastructure and capacity planning?

Are there similar projects on the horizon for North Brooklyn that I’m unaware of?

Ever since the Pencil Factory closed I’ve been looking for a good bar where they play fun music and you can actually dance. I know some ppl hated that place but it always felt like a party.
Any recommendations?

Forwarding a post I made, I hope someone whos a cat lover can help.

Hey guys, I found these 2 in a single carrier on the streets in brooklyn last year,I had a friend foster them for a almost a year but unfortunately was not able to find a home for them and I'll be taking them back on Friday 07/24, but unable to keep them long term.

I'm hoping someone can take these 2 sweet hearts, absolute angels named Matcha & Mocha, my apartment is too small to house them longer than a few days. Resources are also very tight for me

If anyone in the Brooklyn/Boroughs are interested in these 2 sisters, please reach out! (Please serious inquires only)

I have a vehicle so can bring them to you if needed. If anyone can take them this weekend or even sooner that would be great. I know the success rate of them being adopted especially together is low and it would break my heart to surrender them to a shelter.

Hey everyone, Greenpoint stoner here! I asked about this a while back, but I’m still trying to find the local chill spots where stoners hang out. If anyone’s got tips on bars or laid back spots, let me know!”

Or if anyone else who partakes and wants connect over a common interest that would be cool

Hi everyone,

I know a lot of people have asked whether we offer parking. After two years of trying, I was finally able to work something out with the MPG valet parking garage at 21 India Street.

The idea would be for customers who spend $150 to receive a free parking voucher. Is this something people would actually use?

My concern is that if someone is already driving, they may choose to shop at Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Wegmans, or Costco instead.

We are currently working on a project to reduce the prices of our grass-fed and local beef by 30% and our conventional beef by 20%, which we plan to roll out sometime in August or September. Once that happens, I believe our meat prices will be very competitive.

Beyond that, I understand that it can be difficult for us to compete with the prices offered by larger retailers. I just wanted to get a sense of whether people would actually use this parking program before we officially roll it out.

I would really appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

Hey guys! I’m wondering if anyone has a window AC unit they’re not using/looking to get rid of. I’m super sensitive to heat and mine stopped working on Sunday, so I would be super grateful 🙏 Will pay

Long shot, but I have a quilt that my recently deceased grandmother made for me 10+ years ago, I love it and I do use it as a top blanket for my bed, it has come undone in places and some of the fabric is starting to rip.

Anyone out there know someone or somewhere that may repair it for me? I realize new fabric of a different print may have to be used, but I am okay with that as it's part of it's life story. Thanks for any suggestions!

Hey everyone! We have a large bedroom opening up in our Greenpoint loft starting August 1st.

The room is unfurnished and comfortably fits a queen (or larger) bed plus additional furniture. The apartment itself is what makes the place special—high ceilings, exposed beams and columns, hardwood floors, central A/C, and a massive shared living/dining space with tons of character.

Details:
Rent: $1,975/month
Available: August 1
Large unfurnished bedroom
Huge shared living/dining area
Loft with lots of character
Great Greenpoint location
One friendly resident cat

You’ll be living with two respectful roommates in their 40s. One is a musician, the other works a typical 9–5. It’s a friendly, low-drama apartment where everyone enjoys having a good home to come back to while still respecting each other’s space.

We also host Brooklyn Vortex, a monthly jazz series featuring local and touring musicians, so the apartment has a creative atmosphere without feeling like a party house.

If you’re interested, send me:
A little about yourself
What you do for work
Your desired move-in date
Any questions you have

Happy to set up a tour.

Greenpoint/Williamsburg or in Manhattan close to L (East Village/Gramercy), needs to be within 15min commute to Grand Street Healing Project in Williamsburg, guarantors accepted. Would super appreciate any leads, thank you 🤍

Have been going to Susan's Laundromat on Driggs and Diamond but after a year of washing in cold water in broken down machine for constantly increasing prices, the final nail in the coffin was when they silently drained $40 off our laundry card. Turns out this is something that happens constantly and you'll only be able to do something about it if you happen to catch it yourself as they are obviously keeping it quiet. Theres a whole wall in there of peoples cards with notes saying how much is missing, so that the owners can go through the system and check and refund them in cash. I can only imagine how much money they have stolen off customers (including us) who didn't notice their card being drained.

Looking at other laundromats in the area, all seem to have bad reviews too. Why is it so hard to find a good laundromat with hot water?

Any kind of food is fine as long as there's an outdoor space! Ideally within walking distance of the Greenpoint Avenue G stop. TIA:)

Has anyone lived at or heard about 170 Freeman? I’ve heard there may have been some issues even though it’s a newer building. Can anyone who has lived there or knows about it share their experience?

I’m looking to find 3–4 people in Greenpoint (or nearby North Brooklyn) who already know how to play American Mahjong and would be interested in getting together regularly.

Ideally we’d meet every week or two at a coffee shop, brewery, or someone’s apartment for a relaxed game. I’m hoping to find people who already know the rules and have a current NMJL card so we can jump right into playing.

If you’re interested—or know of an existing group with room for another player—I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to comment or send me a DM!

i found this baby bird this morning who appears to have fallen out of its nest, by warsaw/uro cafe. it was on the street so i put it under a tree using a piece of paper, i couldn’t locate where its nest was. does anyone know if there is a wildlife rehabilitation center or something that could be contacted about this? i feel bad leaving it behind especially with the storms

Hi neighbors!

We're hosting our first ever free sourdough bread tasting in Greenpoint/Williamsburg this Wednesday, and we'd love to meet you. 🥖

When: Wednesday, July 22, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM

Where: The backyard of Duke's Liquor Box, 114 Franklin St, Brooklyn, NY 11222 (during the Greenpoint Williamsburg CSA pickup)

Who: Everyone is welcome—whether you're a CSA member or just curious about good bread.

We'll have samples of our naturally fermented sourdough loaves, French baguettes, focaccia, and ciabatta rolls, all baked fresh that morning. Everything is free to taste, and we'll also have bread available for purchase if you'd like to take a loaf home.

I'm originally from France, and I started Crescent Bakes to bring the kind of bread I grew up eating to New York. This is our very first tasting in Greenpoint/Williamsburg, and we're excited to introduce ourselves to the neighborhood.

If you're around Wednesday evening, stop by, say hello, and grab a piece of fresh bread. Hope to meet some of you there! 🍞
