Greenpoint Chamber of Commerce gathers along the banks of the East River
Barbecue and Bocce Usher in Cooler Temps and First Ever Sponsorship of TASTE Williamsburg-Greenpoint
In centuries past people offered thanks for the end of foul, destructive weather cycles by killing a prize bull or an exceptionally fine ram—some cultures even went so far as to offer a human sacrifice to appease capricious gods and promote a more productive climate.
The Greenpoint Chamber of Commerce uses bocce.
Marking the region’s long-awaited retreat from triple digit heat and humidity, North Brooklyn entrepreneur Norm Brodsky demonstrated the finer points of bocce (on a court, he insists, is the only regulation-sized bocce court in all of North Brooklyn) to players that included Assemblymember for the 50th District Joe Lentol, Greenpoint Innovations CEO Stephen Donofrio and NYC Together Executive Director Dana Rachlin.
