This item comes courtesy of a lady named Marcia. She writes:
The Greenpoint Shul is having Passover seder next week on Monday April 18th and Tuesday April 19th. It’s a pretty laid back shul – you can even wear jeans! We have a lot of young people and are really trying to pull in more people from the community. Could you post our event?

Spotted At The American Playground: A Good Friday Miracle!
Yes folks, it would appear the owner of 49 Noble Street— or perhaps the Department of Buildings— has finally commenced re-mediating their property so we can once again have our playground back! For those of you who have been keeping count it took no less than four months and three days for this auspicious event to come to pass. Hallelujah!

TOMORROW: Brooklyn Borscht Belt at Ahavas Israel
Dear Miss Heather,Hello. I hope all is well. This is Samara writing you – formerly of the Greenpoint Soup Kitchen trivia night, more recently of the Greenpoint Shul Friday events nights. The Greenpoint Shul is hosting a joke-off and dinner a la the Borscht Belt on April Fool’s Day. The details are below. We’d love it if you could come, and would greatly appreciate it if you could post this event…

New York Shitty Day Starter: The American Playground
Kicking off this sunny— if brisk— weekend I present to you this bit of leisure time captured at the American Playground yesterday.
For those of you who are wondering, the area adjacent to 49 Noble Street is still cordoned off due to falling debris. For those of you keeping track this makes over three months and counting.
It would appear, however, that some kind of detritus catcher has been put in place. What can we expect in the way of action to follow this most auspicious development?
If this (from the Department of Buildings web site) is any indication, I’d say not much.

LAST GASP: Greenpoint Terminal Market
This shot, which was taken by Charles Le Brigand (and added to my photo pool!) is simply too splendid to wait until tomorrow! Of the experience of knocking around this building he writes:
Today, I managed to step inside an abandoned warehouse in front of the Greenpoint Terminal Market complex in Brooklyn. Although the building did not had abundant photographic materials to offer inside, the roof-top revealed an amazing view of the Greenpoint/Williamsburg East River waterfront as well as the famous “Save the Palestine” water tower located in the heart of the neighborhood.
Lovely capture!
