This Weekend in Greenpoint: August 20-21

How have all you Greenpointers been enjoying the cooler summer days? I have been really thankful to not be all sweaty once I step out of the shower. If only we could freeze Greenpoint in time! This weekend, we have some really truly Greenpoint events to highlight. Buckle up. 

Saturday, August 20

Calling all who appreciate Indonesian culture! This Saturday, the Indonesian Gastronomy Association brings you Pasar Senggol at Greenpoint Terminal Market (2 Noble Street), 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. You will get to experience Indonesian culture and enjoy their cuisine. Bring your friends and family to have a taste of this beautiful Asian country. Who knows, Indonesia could be your next family vacation destination! 

Join the Newtown Creek Alliance to clean up Penny Bridge (1000 Meeker Avenue) this Saturday at 11 a.m.! This unique shoreline and overlook needs some TLC. Join fellow green heroes to help remove trash and improve the pathways and planted areas. Cleaning equipment will be provided. DO bring along water, sun protection and wear closed-toed shoes! Sign up here. 

PS9 Pet Supplies (169 North 9th Street) will be having Yappy Hour this Saturday, 1 – 4 p.m. Your furry loves will get to sample CBD treats and tincture from Happy Hounds.

Edy’s Grocer (136 Meserole Avenue) is closing for their summer break! This Saturday will be the last day to grab their pantry goodies and your favorite takeout meals. The team will reopen on September 8. Do plan your Edy’s Grocer’s supplies accordingly. 

Sunday, August 21

Calling all artists! Laurie Freyer will be hosting an Art Meet-Up this Sunday 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at McGolrick Park. The concept is simple. Laurie will be bringing iced tea, snacks and some botanical still life for the picnic table. You the artist will be in charge of bringing your own art supplies. Join in this art fellowship and walk away nourished! 

Get that body moving this Sunday! How does Outdoor Roller Skating sound? Located at Greenpoint Terminal Market, BYOSkates or rent from the good people of Blue Skate. You have 1 – 6 p.m. to skate your woes away, grooving to the tunes of @djpriceisright.
