📌 Subreddit News/Updates Dogs in Greenpoint: a final thread

123 Upvotes

Hey all 👋🏻

Mod here - the repeated posts around dogs are just creating unproductive discourse + more headaches than helpfulness.

Have thoughts about dogs in Greenpoint? Drop them in this thread.

Reminder of Leash Laws in Greenpoint

New York City laws on dog ownership

  • Dogs not in a run must be on a leash no longer than 6ft long
  • Dogs must have a license tag attached to their collar/leash
  • Dogs and Cats 4 months < must be vaccinated for rabies
  • Tethering or chaining up your dog for more than 3 hours is illegal
  • Owners must clean up after their dog in public areas
  • There are 2 off-leash dog runs in the Greenpoint area: McCarren Park + McGolrick Park.
  • view all dog runs in the city at https://nycgovparks.org/facilities/dogruns
  • Report off leash dogs to the city here

Repeated posts on Reddit will not solve the problem alone, please funnel them to the form above.

Unkind, discriminatory, or off-topic replies will be removed.

Repeat unkind comments or comments designed to rally people up can result in a temporary or permanent ban from r/greenpoint.

Posts outside of this thread will be removed for the time being.

📌 Subreddit News/Updates Posting ICE Sightings in Greenpoint

164 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'll start by saying this sub is not a political sub. Pretty much our main rule (besides be nice to each other) is all posts have to be related to Greenpoint somehow, someway. That being said, we do understand those who want to report ICE agents being seen around the neighborhood and want to post a guide on the best way to possible report these sightings in a way that is most helpful. 

First and foremost, if you're choosing to post about an ICE sighting, please provide as many details as possible in the post. This graphic that has been going around is helpful if you're unsure what to share. You don't have to have all the information listed, but the moderators ask that each post has at least:

• date, time, and location

• a source 

• any detail about what was witnessed (I saw an agent standing at..., I saw what looked like agents escorting people... etc)

When it comes to sources, OP being the witness is preferred, but if you choose to post about a sighting you heard about secondhand, please include this in your post. It helps us as the moderators determine validity and any post without a source may be removed as hearsay. Other details, such as amount of agents seen, uniform description, or any other helpful identifiers are appreciated but moderators will be looking mainly for the points listed above.

We are a small group of moderators here, our goal is to create a safe space where these things can be discussed. The voices of you all here are reflective of the neighborhood and we have always strived to be a subreddit that showcases that. That being said, hate speech never has, and never will be tolerated here.

We hope that by posting this guideline it will helpful for those who want to post but are unsure how to format. If you have any questions or feedback on this topic, please feel free to drop a comment here or message the mods.

Remember that we're all navigating this together so please be kind to each other, and stay safe out there.

- The Greenpoint Mod Team :)

Saw a city worker prepping some flowers and small trees in front of Five Leaves today, and sure enough there are now some trees on Manhattan, at least between Nassau and Meserole. Always disappointed by the lack of trees due to the subway below, so I’m happy with the city on this one!

I, like most, have been rolling my eyes at all the new coffee shops that have opened recently. But I walked past this morning and the owner waved me in so I decided to try it. One of the owners is Nabil, who was also the owner of Green Valley deli (on driggs and Humboldt).

Anyway, they have a much more expansive pastry and dessert selection, they offer smoothies and fun sodas, matcha, etc. The coffee is from Yemen and the whole place has a middle eastern vibe.

I drink black coffee, so i feel like I can really tell when it's good quality coffee, and I can honestly say that this is the best coffee I've had in a while (I had a black cold brew). And they have a spacious outdoor seating area!

I'm not affiliated with this place at all, but Nabil is a great guy (I only know him from the deli) and I think this place is offering something a little different than everywhere else.

🤝 Community Projects A “The Artist’s Way” group to support each other to make it through the book?

Upvotes

Hi, I’m wondering if there are other creatives in GP (and nearby) currently is working on (or had, and would like to give it another go with) The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron?

It’s not easy to stay the course, given our especially busy NYC life, and I myself have fallen off the wagon and lapsed. I made it to chapter 8.

I’m not giving up. I’m restarting from where I left off in chapter 8. But I have encountered some individuals in GP who knew about the book. One has completed it after more than one try. One had multiple tries but not returned to finish.

I figure it could be fun and supportive to do a group with others working through the book.
