I left my jacket and a goodie bag of skincare products (gifts from friends) outside Coffee Check when I scurried to hide from rain inside the shop.
When I left, those items were nowhere to be found
The nice shop manager sent me this video footage from the shop’s front security cam. It turned out this person in the footage took the jacket and goodie bag. I also had two candy bars (Harken, they are the best) in my pocket.
A bit heartbroken, as the jacket is also a gift from a dear friend and I always get lots of compliments on it. It gives the best Japanese librarian vibe.
Greenpoint is a place for home for the past 6 years. I have lost an ENTIRE wallet and people have found it and returned it to my building. And this happened on Oct 3rd, 2026.
I think it is fine if one day you found something in the street and looked nice; but this is obviously something that someone left from the coffee shop. Is it quite questionable to just swipe and claim for your own without second-guessing your decision?
Just want to rant this in our community, I am taking this lesson to be more careful with any meaningful personal items going forward

Edit: yes I was an idiot for leaving the jacket and the bag. Of course, I asked the coffee shop if anyone has found the jacket and this best described the outcome.

Am I crazy or am I hearing that loud ass party music again with the deep bass? I’m going to loose my mind.

Whyyyyyy

Smelling an overwhelming burning wood smell on Huron street by Franklin ave. Anyone know what’s going on? Any fires tonight ? It’s very intense.

Anyone know if they’ll have the Halloween dog parade in the park again this year and when it’ll be? Tried looking online and couldn’t figure it out

Hi neighbors! 🥖🍞

We're coming back to the Greenpoint Williamsburg CSA this Wednesday for another free bread tasting — and it's our last one of the season! 🇫🇷

When: Wednesday, October 21st, from 6:30 PM to 8 PM
Where: In the backyard of Duke's Liquor Box, 114 Franklin St, Brooklyn, NY 11222
Who: Everyone is welcome, whether you're a CSA member or just love good bread!

We'll have samples of our handmade sourdough loaves, French baguettes, and focaccia, all baked fresh that day. Everything is free to taste, and we'll also have bread available for purchase if you'd like to take some home.

This is our second time joining the Greenpoint Williamsburg CSA, and with the CSA season wrapping up, it's our last chance to see you there this year!

Come say hello, enjoy a little French bread, and stock up on your favorites before the season ends. We can't wait to see you Wednesday! 🍞🇫🇷❤️

I’ve been seeing a group of cats outside on Huron usually in the evening when I’m coming home and the dark gray one in the pic had been looking bad with a rotting tail. I think he’s old.

I sometimes give them food but I ran into a woman last week who said she’s with Greenpoint Cats. She told me they are trying to trap the gray cat to take to the vet and get his injury treated. But earlier today, I saw the area the cats usually hang out is boarded up.

I messaged Greenpoint Cats asking for an update but i haven’t heard back from them. Does anyone know what’s happening at that lot? It looked abandoned but are they starting a construction? I hope the cats that live there are safe especially the old one :(
