inconsiderate nightlife
Here’s an episode that demonstrates why I think the current influx of bars and nightclubs is a problem in Greenpoint.
Last weekend, on Sunday night, some morons were having a VERY loud conversation at 1:30 in the morning, after having left the Diamond bar and probably heading to Studio B. They were standing on a street corner, with residential buildings all around them. The loudest mouth was talking loudly about how “You just HAVE to go to Union Pool, it’s the hippest place in town”.
When we leaned out our window (along with someone else in our building) and told them to shut up, it was after 1 in the morning, what was their response? Not sorry, not oops, it was - “You don’t have to go to work tomorrow.”
Excuse me? How did they know that? And how would that be relevant anyway? It wasn’t 9pm, it was 1:30 in the morning.
Someone in our building eventually walked outside and told them that they had to move, and they did.
Of course, the worst episode was earlier this summer when a group of five people stood right outside the ground floor of our building WITH A GUITAR and started singing and playing at 1 in the morning. When we yelled at them to move, they moved across the street, somehow thinking that that short distance would make it okay. Someone went outside and informed them of our proximity to the local police precinct.
But, who does that? Seriously. I mean, who does that and thinks that’s okay to do? Who stands outside in a residential area and starts singing and playing guitar on the street after midnight?
Never mind, don’t answer that.
