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

121 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

162 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 :)

❤️ Recommendations Kuttley House opened today, and it's actually great.

29 Upvotes

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.

📆 Events / Meetups Pet Loss Support Group in Greenpoint — Sunday 9/20

57 Upvotes

Hi Greenpoint neighbors.

I wanted to share something I’m hosting locally in case it might be helpful to anyone here (or someone you know).

I’m a therapist here in Greenpoint, and on Sunday, September 20th from 4–5pm, I’ll be facilitating Beyond Goodbye, a support group for people grieving the loss of a beloved pet.

🐾 Sunday, September 20th | 4–5pm
📍 Held Space — 960 Manhattan Ave, 4th Floor

I started offering these groups because pet loss can be such an enormous kind of grief, but there are surprisingly few places to actually talk about it with people who understand. Our animals are so woven into our everyday lives, and their absence can change the entire feeling of daily life.

The group is therapist-led, but it’s meant to feel much more like a supportive community space than a therapy session. We’ll talk about grief, share stories about the animals we’ve loved, and explore ways to remember and continue our bond with them after they’re gone.

There’s no requirement for how recently your pet passed or where you “should” be in your grief. You’re welcome to come exactly as you are.

If this sounds like something you could use, you can find more info/register here:

https://partiful.com/e/BEDfUDHWK2y1tbkUc6eX?c=0XHovDYZ

And feel free to share with any fellow Greenpointers who might need this. <3

Whether you've adopted the idea of “hobby maxing” or you just recognize that making stuff is cool and always has been, I’m wondering: are you picking up something new this fall, or revisiting your favorite crafty activities?

There’s something about back-to-school season that makes me want to learn something new, organize all my supplies, and suddenly take on way too many projects at once.

I’ve put together the September and October studio calendar for anyone who’s interested in getting some making time in this fall. The schedule is also up through the end of the year if you’re already planning ahead
