Good evening, Greenpointers.
The sun is shining, the snow is melting, and we simply cannot be bothered to check the weather forecast!
A special thanks to everyone who came out to Oak & Iron on Wednesday for Greenpoint History Night, where we took a walk down Greenpointers memory lane.
A new Hong Kong-inspired bar has opened in Williamsburg. The romantic Juliette restaurant is celebrating 20 years in operation. Bar Americano has officially reopened after a basement flood forced a temporary closure.
Breads Bakery and Naked Tomato will open at Williamsburg Wharf; the former faces allegations of union-busting tactics at its other locations.
The small business closures pile up, and this one especially hurts—Archestratus, the bookstore and community gathering spot, will close this spring. We’re hoping that the Huron Street space might see a reprieve a la Sonny’s Corner, the new bar taking over from the Pencil Factory.
A first-of-its-kind sauna festival has sprung up in Domino Park. Rather not sweat it out? We have other events on deck for you.
Buy an Unemployment Club shirt, support NBK Mutual Aid, and get discounts on local businesses in the process.

Get ready for Texas BBQ in Greenpoint.
Hello. I wonder if I can reach out and hope to contact some of my sorely missed Old baby boomers Greenpointers. I grew up there before McGuiness Blvd went to Sts Cyril and Methodist as well as St Stanislaus Kostka. Played Little League with Socony Mobil and Babe Ruth and Sr League with Naphta Rug Co managed by erstwhile Canarsie Line Motorman Charlie Kerchoff. Played on the glorious Greenpoint Crusaders and was the 1967 Most Valuable O Lineman on that Intermediate team. And hung out and chased beautiful hip girls and brought some pretty groovy groups to some St Anthony’s Saturday Night Soirées.
I love reading the Greenpointers but I really don’t recognize anything or anyone. I mean talk about group immunity we played ball n the toxic waste dumps right under the actual refineries and slept in the middle of brass foundries and creosote plants. But o man the pizzerias and hot dog stands forgetaboutit. Fish and chips every Friday.
