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.

📌 Subreddit News/Updates Posting ICE Sightings in Greenpoint

166 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 Had the worst fries of my life at matches

20 Upvotes

Went to read at the bar, have a drink, and eat some fries. They were nine dollars and tasted like they had been taken out of the freezer and put in the oven for five minutes.

Sorta soggy, sorta cold, and just tasteless.

I had maybe four and then stopped eating. Did I mention they were 9 dollars. Holy cow no thanks.

❓Questions Noxious fumes on Nassau Ave around 4am

6 Upvotes

I am up Nassau near Morgan and around 4am tonight we woke up and had to close the windows as there was some sort of very toxic fumes coming in.

I am not sure if it was just exhaust but I am up a few floors. Curious if anyone else experienced it and if maybe it was the asphalt plant with some wind?

It was way too bad to be a car something.

Also… can we get some trash/recycling/compost sorting bins at our parks? Pretty please. The trash overflow is practically constant.

So I'm in a temporary pickle where I'm not covered by insurance, but still need to go to a primary doctor and cardiologist for a pre-existing condition I'm due to check up on.

Title: [Moving Sale] Greenpoint — Sectional couch, recliner, desk, tables, mirrors, bookshelf & more — everything must go by 11/2!

Hey everyone! I've lived in Greenpoint for eight years, and I'm moving next Monday, November 2. I'm selling a bunch of furniture and household items that I'd rather not have to move or put into storage.

Everything is available for pickup near the Greenpoint waterfront. I'm in an elevator building with a loading dock, so getting larger items out should be pretty straightforward. I'm also happy to work around your schedule, including coordinating pickup through my building's front desk when possible.

Furniture — suggested prices, all negotiable:

  • Beige modular sectional sofa with reversible chaise — $200. Approximately 75" wide, 36" deep at its shortest and 72" at its longest. Really comfortable, deep-seated cloud-style couch. It separates into individual pieces, making it easy to transport, and the modular design lets you rearrange it into different configurations or make it smaller to fit your space. Original product listing.
  • Black ergonomic office chair with flip-up arms
  • Beige upholstered recliner with built-in footrest — $60. Comfortable, compact recliner with soft, cushioned seating. Footrest extends for lounging. Approximately 30"W × 27"D × 31"H when closed.
  • Clear acrylic coffee table
  • Wood-and-metal TV stand — $25. Dark reddish-brown wood-look shelves with a black metal frame and open storage. Approximately 40" × 18" × 17".
  • Matching wood-and-metal side table — $15. Same finish as the TV stand, with two levels of storage. Approximately 20" × 20" × 20".
  • Round glass-top side table — $15. Small, black metal accent table with a round glass top. Great next to a couch, bed, or reading chair.
  • Small charcoal-gray upholstered ottoman — $15. Soft, textured fabric cube that works as a footrest or extra seating. Approximately 17" × 17" × 12".
  • Wood-look desk/table with black metal legs — $30. Compact but spacious enough for a computer and home office setup. Approximately 39"W × 24"D × 30"H.
  • Adjustable standing desk riser — $40. Black desktop converter that allows you to switch between sitting and standing. Two-tier design with room for a monitor and keyboard. Approximately 31"W × 24"D, adjustable from 6" to 20" high.
  • Desk + standing desk riser together — $60. Happy to sell them as a bundle!
  • Full-length black framed mirror — $20. Simple, modern rectangular mirror, approximately 51"H × 15"W. Can be leaned against a wall or hang on a door.
  • Round black framed mirror — $10. Minimalist circular mirror, approximately 20" in diameter.
  • Tall metal sneaker/shoe rack — $15. Narrow, space-saving shoe storage rack with multiple tiers. Approximately 52"H × 22"W × 9"D.
  • Tall light wood bookshelf — $25. Six open shelves, great for books, records, decor, or general storage. Approximately 77"H × 27"W × 10"D. Items pictured on the shelves aren't included.
  • BenQ GW2480 24-inch computer monitor — $

40.

  • Full HD 1080p IPS monitor with HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA connections. Great for a home office setup.

Also available:

  • Most of a kitchen setup, including dishes, cookware, utensils, and other kitchen essentials
  • A few miscellaneous smaller household items

, including a wonderful garment rack and a very nice trash can

All prices are flexible! If you're nearby and can pick something up quickly, I'm happy to work something out. Same goes if you're interested in multiple items. Mostly just trying to clear everything out without making this move more complicated than it needs to be.

My DMs are open! Happy to send more photos, measurements, or answer any questions.

Pickup is available pretty much anytime this week, including Monday, November 2, before 2 PM.

To whoever plants the sunflowers year after year on greenpoint ave past Franklin to west, thank you. If the sunflowers are planting themselves .. great job

There used to be an apple tree near Greenberg cafe in someone’s threshold. And a giant patch of jumbo grapevines elsewhere on a block further up. Do we have any other especially beautiful or rare plants to celebrate around this neighborhood?

Excuse me, looking for the bright side this morning.

❓Questions Parents dumping kid feces in the park

Post image

Is this a normal thing for parents to do in 2026? Bring a mini toilet to the park, let the kid use the bathroom publicly, and then dump the waste not in the real toilet, which is 200 yards away, but on a tree.

I fear this may be bigger than the dog shit issue.
