Why your support matters
i just realized that i am wearing my “Greenpoint” t-shirt. I am such a dork.
Thanks for the shout out!
Umm.. Karczma has been around for a long time. I remember going there with my folks years ago. I know they went through a renovation (possibly ownership change) 6 t 12 months ago.
Krissy, where did you get your GP tshirt?
Me and my sister were talking about this, I felt like it was new a few months ago (could’ve been six or more!) and she said she thought it was there for years. I think you’re probably right, it changed ownership / had a renovation or something. But it’s definitely not ‘new’!
i very much enjoy walking down greenpoint avenue and seeing the employees of Karczma outside smoking, in full polish peasant attire.
the shirt was actually a b-day present from my friends tommy and roy who own Alter. I think they have them in their store.
Karczma hasn’t been reviewed yet on here, but it was recently added as a location on BeerAdvocate.com for it’s extensive selection of Polish and Czech beers.

I got a Greenpoint shirt at Alter last year.
Justine, thanks so much for all the love!
Thanks for the blurb! It brought a tear to my eye.
Long Live Greenpointers. VIVA!!
