Greenpoint This Week: Freedom Market, North Brooklyn Angels, and More. – greenpointers.com

Good afternoon Greenpointers,

If youve got cabin fever, or if youre just looking to get out of the house, try one of these fun (and entirely indoors) activities who knew Williamsburg had paintball? We got the scoop on a new independent play opening on February 13, and if youre feeling particularly magnanimous, lend a helping hand with a volunteer opportunity from North Brooklyn Angels.

Theres never a shortage of restaurant news in North Brooklyn, and this week was no exception. Keep an eye out for Lingo, a soon-to-open Japanese restaurant and the first Brooklyn location of popular local chain Jacks Wife Freda. A new fast-casual spot, SoBol, is opening soon in Williamsburg as well. Win Son Bakery launched a limited run of ice cream for the Lunar New Year.

In news specific to Greenpoint, we profiled Chef Clark Riley of the newly opened Stowaway, a Southern cafe and bistro thatll surely satisfy any biscuit craving you might have.

In design updates, we have a cool apartment tour to check out, as well as a profile on the chic new 42 Hotel.

We spoke again to Trevor of Freedom Market, whos taking the initiative on the road. Mikeys Hook Up is celebrating 20 years in business with a documentary series on YouTube.

In more unfortunate news, the Black Lives Matter flag at PS 110 was stolen and replaced by an All Lives Matter flag. Weather conditions likely contributed to stray voltage that tragically led to a dog and its owner being electrocuted.
