Plus, it offers free WiFi and free drip coffee Monday to Friday. There’s also a new daytime drink menu featuring specialty coffee drinks and cocktails for those who need liquid motivation.

Got a recipe you’d like to share with the neighborhood? We’d love to publish it in the Greenpointers Community Cookbook. It doesn’t matter if you’re a professional chef, home cook, baker, bartender, or parent who makes the best snacks. Greenpointers is asking anyone who lives or works in Greenpoint or Williamsburg to send us a recipe. To publish your recipe, we’ll need a list of ingredients, directions, and a photo. Feel free to share anything about the dish or drink, like its history or origin.

We’re counting down the days until the beloved Greenpoint Open Studios returns at the end of May, but a new event should hold us over in the meantime. Next weekend sees the first iteration of Made in Greenpoint, designed to give neighbors a chance to stop by different artist workshops and studios spanning Calyer Street. The event stems from the city-wide Made in NYC week. Made in Greenpoint brings together 24 artists, illustrators, jewelry makers, and ceramicists.
