Hope all is well with you.. Unfortunately due to unexpected circumstances we’ve had to postpone the opening of the greenpoint flea market bazaar for another two weeks. So we won’t be open for business today and tomorrow as we had initially hoped. Many apologies for the late notice. We had really hoped to be up and running and the decision came down to the last minute, but we are now slated to open Friday the 23rd. We promise that when we finally do open our doors we will be bringing something special to Greenpoint.. But in the meantime, thanks so much for your support and patience.
Kind regards,
Natasha Greenpoint Flea Market Bazaar
Ah, we know how much I love bazaar, flea markets, swaps and everything that has to do with them so here’s another one coming to my neck of the GPT woods. And it’s going to be WEEKLY! They’re looking for vendors and shoppers so if you’re in the market to be in a market, shoot an email to greenpointflea@gmail.com.
Hi,
Wanted to inform you of a new flea market bazaar opening up in Greenpoint. It will be a Friday & Saturday outdoor/indoor market to be held on the grounds of the Greenpoint Reformed Church at 138 Milton Street between Franklin & Manhattan. Grand opening weekend will be Friday April 9th and Saturday April 10th. Would love to get the word out to interested vendors as well as customers.
We want to grow an amazing flea market that promotes the neighborhood, supports local businesses, and helps build community while offering unique treasures, delectable eats, and a fun atmosphere for all. With a diverse group of vendors already signed up from throughout the tri-state area, this will surely be a market that has something for everyone. Please feel free to contact us with any further questions about the market.
I got an email this morning from Miles Beltran with an interesting little story about local business Greenpoint Furniture – you know the place, the joint with the green hand chair outside! I’ve always meant to go in there and buy something just because it looks like the sort of spot where I’d get a great deal and find something I’d like for my apartment. It makes me feel good to support real local businesses, especially ones that have been here before it was ‘hip’.
It’s a cold afternoon and the neighbors talk to John Galliano in Polish. People just walk in to say hello. Galliano, the owner of Euro Meble or better known as Greenpoint Furniture, stands by the door and spreads his good, spirited cheers. The neighborhood has found a friend. It’s obvious the owner Galliano speaks several languages including Polish, English and Spanish. But he was born in Colombia. His father is of Italian descend and his mother is Colombian. But this neighborhood store is suffering in this ever changing economy.
A year ago Galliano had to close his second location, the warehouse store. But Galliano still has his main store located at 820 Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, NY. The store is in the heart of Greenpoint across from what used to be Greenpoint Bank and now is Capital Bank. It’s a sign of the times. But he has managed to stay on top by offering better prices, great customer service and quick deliveries. They have been forced to reinvent themselves and to target the new customers from Greenpoint, Williamsburg and LIC.
The store celebrates over 40 years in the same location, by different owners. Back then Greenpoint Furniture was a Dial-A-Mattress store. Galliano bought Greenpoint Furniture in 1995. The neighborhood was primarily Polish during that time. People were accustomed to a sofa called, “Jack Knife”. It serves as a sofa, bed and storage. Today, it is still a big seller.
Now that they are celebrating many years in business; you can take advantage of the wide selections and floor sample sales. Selected items will be 30% to 70% off. John Galliano is even Interior Designing for the Belvedere Buildings. Interior Designing and refinishing floors are their new services. Drop in. Say hello. But you must know that Galliano is very thankful to the community; who keeps him in business.

The last time I did a Sunday Snaps was over a month ago so there are lots of talented photogs from the pool to share. And today we made it to 200 members of the Greenpointers Group Flickr Pool!

One of my oldest friends, Tracy is half of the dynamic personal training duo who run We Go Hard Bootcamp – a serious strength training and cardio that caters to all fitness levels and takes place at McCarren Park track. It’s back in session on Sundays (weather permitting) at Noon. Single session is $35 and a 4 session package is $120 (save $20). Cash or check made payable to Tracy Helsing. RSVP to tracyhelsing@gmail.com NOW!
And just take a look at the eye candy that works you out…
Deemsy Arias and Tracy Helsing are kicking off their second year running an outdoor bootcamp class at Williamsburg’s McCarren Park Track, one stop on the L from the city (L train to Bedford, G to Nassau). We meet at the purple workout/stretch area on the Driggs Avenue side of the track every Sunday at noon.
This bootcamp will be fun but essentially an ass kicker. Take part only if you really want results because everyone must be prepared to work.
The bootcamp class will have a variety of components such as strength training, sprints and cardio on the track, agility drills, cardio drills, sandbags, kettlebells. People will be running, jumping, playing, lifting, pulling, pushing, sweating, good times.
The classes will be an hour and are set at $35 dollars per class. Packages of 4 are $120, a savings of $20 (with a 6 week expiration date). Classes are weather permitting. Rain = no class.
The more the merrier, so please pass it on and bring a friend as there will be plenty of tag team and group exercises.
