Time Out For Hunger – 3/28
We don’t usually need a reason to drink good coffee, but in case you need an extra nudge to get out and about this weekend, Sunday is Time Out For Hunger. We will be donating 10% percent of the day’s sales in Chelsea to the Food Bank For New York City. Bring a friend in for a coffee…or bring a few.
Check out the other participants here. There are some incredible places to eat dinner on the list.

NERBC
This past weekend, some of us had the opportunity to head up to Boston (Somerville to be precise) to watch the North East Regional Barista Competition.
For those of you curious as to what this entailed, there is a great video piece by Abbey Niezgoda that you can watch here (which includes a small interview with Jordan).
Congratulations to the winners: Danielle, Nik and our very own Jordan who placed third.

Neighbors & Artists
For those of you who have noticed the great artwork on the walls this month and wanted to know more – “secret sound space” is an exhibition of works by local Greenpoint-based artists: Soo Im Lee, Rebecca Sherman, Carolin Wood, Fanny Allié and Hyla Skopitz.
“Each artist has contributed works that explore secrets shared and hidden between living beings, paintings that offer visual interpretations of sound, and documents the everyday with heightened awareness and perspective. Homely, estranged, reflective, and self-conscious, these works are brought together to ignite a sense of renewal, offering an alternative on how we approach, observe, and absorb our everyday experience.”
Curated by Greenpoint resident extraordinaire – Joann Kim.
