This Weekend in Greenpoint: July 16-17

This Saturday, we are forecasted to have sun with a side of clouds. And Sunday is looking to be rather stormy…then again, Mother Nature can be flippant! So do check your apps (or just look out your window) before heading out to ensure maximum enjoyment in Greenpoint this weekend.

Saturday, July 16

@meditationmovingforward is a Meditation Movement starting this Saturday! Look for the sign below, starting from the Brooklyn side of the Williamsburg Bridge. Scan the QR code to enjoy a free walking meditation. Embark on this urban zen journey with your fellow North Brooklyn neighbors. 

Hey Kids Comics (157A Huron Street) will be hosting comic artist Mike Dawson this Saturday, 2 – 4 p.m. Mike will be sharing a ‘Cartooning Lesson’ presentation and signing copies of his new Fifth Quarter book — the perfect graphic novel for middle-grade readers! 

Seen this poster around the neighborhood lately? Banker’s Anchor — our new Open Street on North 15th Street between Nassau Avenue and Banker Street — will be hosting the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus this Saturday. Shows are at 3 p.m. and 6 p.m., with tons of free activities throughout the day. You’ll definitely enjoy a very Brooklyn summer day on Banker’s Anchor. 

Sunday, July 17

Isla & Co. (107 North 12th Street) will be hosting their Summer Party this Sunday, 2 – 6 p.m. Check out the deets below! Isla & Co. was born in Australia with New York influences. This modern brasserie restaurant serves great food, quality coffee, and creative cocktails. 

Sofar Sounds host intimate music concerts. This Sunday 7:30 p.m., they will be putting up a rooftop show in Williamsburg. The address will be revealed 36 hours prior to the event. Get your tickets here.

All Weekend

Now You See What I See — a group exhibition for artists by artists — has an exciting line-up for you all weekend.

Taking place at Spiti Costa Inc (186 Greenpoint Avenue), experience Live Art & Pies on Saturday 2 – 9 p.m. Enjoy intimate live performances while indulging in pies by Decades Pizza. Tickets available here.

On Sunday 6 – 9 p.m., with rain being forecasted, it’ll be perfect for Film Screening and Live Music. Join in for the exclusive screening of Las Venas De Mi Pais — a feature film by Williams/Lind, and a live musical performance by NaTV. Score those tickets here.

While you’re enjoying the Greenpoint art scene, don’t miss out on the Greenpoint food scene.

Di An Di (68 Greenpoint Avenue) is now serving lunch all weekend, starting at noon. I salivate just thinking about their Cha Gio alongside a piping hot bowl of Pho Thin Ha Noi…it doesn’t have to be a dream! Head on over and support a small local business this weekend. 

And that’s a thick healthy wrap to this weekend’s listing. Go forth and embark on your Greenpoint adventures!
