Dear women of Greenpoint, we hope you were celebrated, loved, and appreciated on International Women’s Day. Of course not just for 24 hours but all-year-round! Take the women you love out this weekend. Here are some ideas of what you can do with them in our neighborhood.
Saturday, March 12
For the women in your life who love açai bowls – Baya Bar’s (687 Manhattan Avenue) grand opening is this Saturday, 11 a.m. If you’re one of the first fifty people to arrive, you get a free bowl! We’ve heard that their Baya Toast is to die for.Â
Opening this Saturday, The Marine City is a community art show exploring the relationship between our city and its marine environment. Organized by Greenpoint Art Circle and Sustainable Ocean Alliance NYC, the show will be held at Church of the Ascension (127 Kent Street) between 6 – 10 p.m. Show runs till April 3. RSVP here.Â
Triskelion Arts (106 Calyer Street) presents Synthesis – a theatrical variety show showcasing nightlife performers in the queer community and celebrating an array of disciplines and identities.
