r/Greenpoint

My roomie and I are about to sign a lease on an apt a little north of McGolrick. We love the apartment and it has pretty much everything we wanted, but the location is giving me some pause.

It’s about a 14 to 15 minute walk to the Nassau Ave G. I’m fully remote right now and only go into Manhattan about twice a week, but I’m also job searching and could easily see my next role requiring 2 to 3 days in the office.

I also go to the Equinox in Williamsburg about 3-4 times per week, so getting there would either mean a long walk or walking to the G, taking it to Lorimer, and transferring to the L.

For anyone who lives in Greenpoint and has a 10 min + walk to the G, i’d love to get your perspective:

- How was the adjustment to the G being your main train?
- Does the 10 to 15 minute walk to the subway become a non-issue, or does it get annoying?
- If you commute into Manhattan a few times a week, how manageable is it?

Would especially love to hear from anyone who moved here from somewhere with easier access to the L or a more direct Manhattan commute.

There’s blue police tape all around the bakery and brew inn? What’s going on?

I don’t think it involves the ghost tour lady..

Has anyone been on a weekend (preferably friday) night out here since the changeover from Pencil Factory? I'm trying to understand if they still have the lively vibes, throwback jams etc. Haven't had a chance to go yet and was considering on bringing a group here who I know likes to singalong and have fun but I haven't seen much!

hi! does anyone have recs of any clubs or social groups in the neighborhood?

i love the wednesday night trash clean up club. would love similar things- social, crafting, volunteering, anything around the area is appreciated!

looking for activities to do so i don’t go crazy working from home all winter 🙃
