Taste Williamsburg Greenpoint: Great Food, Great Hood, Great Cause!

We are thrilled that we were invited to be part of Taste Williamsburg Greenpoint!

We are huge fans of our 'hood (Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY) and love any opportunity that allows us to hang out with our neighbors - both residents and fellow food makers! The list of participating restaurants is really exciting and the sponsors list includes one of our fave brewing companies and neighbors, Brooklyn Brewery.

All proceeds from the event benefit the building of the Northside Town Hall Community and Cultural Center to be housed in the converted historic former Engine Company 212 firehouse, which was the subject of two massive sit-ins, an award-winning documentary and the inspiration to turn around the areas crumbling economy and infrastructure with years of community organizing. The center will be the home of two long time community groups Neighbors Allied for Good Growth (NAG) and the People’s Firehouse, Inc. (PFI), provide affordable meeting space to local groups, and house a first floor gallery space to be maintained by a collective of local art groups. The money raised will go to the project’s capital fund, which needs to reach $1 million by next year to begin the renovations to convert the building into this much-needed resource.
