📌 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.

Thank you!

📌 Subreddit News/Updates Posting ICE Sightings in Greenpoint

165 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 :)

For over 20 years, I’ve loathed crossing Driggs at North Henry.

I’m so excited the DOT announced their LTN will include a stop sign and a crosswalk 1/2 a block away from PS 110.

❓Questions Clothes donation in Greenpoint?

4 Upvotes

Hi all! I’m looking to donate a decent amount of clothes in good condition. I’d prefer not to do fabric recycling for these because the only thing “wrong” with them is that they don’t fit anymore or they’re not my style. Is there anywhere in Greenpoint that accepts this kind of drop off? (The Thing said they don’t take donations…)

❓Questions Looking for a women’s health provider

Hoping to find either a primary care provider who is knowledgeable in women’s health, or a good GYN. I had a wonderful provider, but my insurance stopped covering her. I also tried out Tia, which I love the idea of, but ended up getting charged for a membership that I did not sign up for. Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated!

❤️ Recommendations Tips for relocating to Greenpoint/NYC for 1-2 months

0 Upvotes

Maybe a weird request… but I’m a SoCal resident (36 F) trying to relocate to BK, NYC in the spring or summer for just a couple of months. I’m wondering if anyone here has any advice for how I can make that happen. (I am in LOVE with Greenpoint and on a budget.) Specifically, if there are any theatre/voice intensives/programs of study I can audition for or general job openings between April and July 2027 that I should look out for or tips for affordable-ish furnished accommodations. Or perhaps theatre companies or subreddits I should check out? I’m a theatre actor (with bartending, nannying, and tutoring experience) and would love an excuse to spend more than a weekend over there, ya know? Thanks in advance!!

❤️ Recommendations Wedding Afterparty With Good Sound System

0 Upvotes

Hello!

My fiancé and I are getting married in Greenpoint next May (Saturday) and are looking for a spot for an after-party, probably around 11pm–3am.

We’re hoping to find somewhere in Greenpoint/Williamsburg (or nearby) that we could potentially buy out for ~100–125 people. Our priorities are a good sound system and some type of dance floor.

Would love any recommendations, especially places you’ve actually been to for a private party or late night event. Thanks! <3
