📌 Subreddit News/Updates Dogs in Greenpoint: a final thread
Hey all 👋🏻
Mod here - the repeated posts around dogs are just creating unproductive discourse + more headaches than helpfulness.

New York City laws on dog ownership

Unkind, discriminatory, or off-topic replies will be removed.

📌 Subreddit News/Updates Posting ICE Sightings in Greenpoint
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 :)

❓Questions Amelie cafe - violation
Saw while on the B43 that a yellow CLOSURE notice plastered on their front door, and what looked like a handwritten note. If anybody passes it, can you post it? I enjoyed coffee there a few times and the owner was always chill, so curious what happened. Thx!

📰 Local News Avoid Jewelry Studio on Nassau
Went in to ask if they could fix the posts on two earrings. Before I even finished speaking, the man behind the counter (owner?) started yelling at me and shaming me for breaking them. Made me try to repeat the things he said about how it was all my fault, I’m a disaster, etc, it was very strange. I was polite and thought he was joking until he started getting out of hand, leaning over the counter, pointing and spitting. The woman also behind the counter just looked down and didn’t say anything.
It was super strange, really aggressive and left me pretty shaken. Wondering if it was sexist or racist? Who knows. Either way weird and unacceptable.
So yeah.. heads up to anyone in the area: take your jewelry repairs elsewhere. I went to the fine jewelry spot on norman instead and they were nice and helpful.

🆘 Help Needed Stray kitten near BQE
Saw a tiny calico kitten last night skitter away from the trash cans outside my apartment. I tried to capture her but she was too skittish and was hiding underneath cars. It was too late to go buy cat food to leave out for her too. This was around Sutton and Driggs. Anyone missing a kitten and/or seen her ?

✨curiousities + wonder Loco Cafe…
I actually pop in quite regularly and I enjoy their coffee (roasted by Cafe Grumpy)
but i don’t understand the cafe at all
- the AI slop logo
- the motto is “stay loco” but the interior is as bland as a piece of white bread and the music is typical dull acoustic/alt
as a regular patron i would love to support more if the logo wasn’t AI generated and the branding was cohesive. just some feedback which probably won’t make it back to the owner, but wondering if anyone else felt the same
