Holiday Event

PS 676 had a holiday gift giving event with Santa that was enjoyed by all in their schoolyard on the Wednesday before Christmas. PS 676 teacher Mr. Nouvertne enjoyed being Santa.

According to parent coordinator Marie Hueston, gifts for the students were donated by PS 676 partners PS 58 (in Carroll Gardens) and Redemption Church Red Hook. Gift cards that were donated for the older siblings of the kids in the school came from St. Francis Xavier Church in Park Slope.

Some of the presents that the kids in PS 676 got to take home included art supplies, science and robotics kits, Lego sets, stuffed animals, Fortnite figurines, Star Wars toys and Nerf footballs.

Pioneer Works came to the event and they had two tables where kids could make ornaments that they could either decorate in the schoolyard or at home. The kids really enjoyed getting to be creative with how they decorated their ornaments and the two Pioneer Works staff members enjoyed overseeing/instructing the kids.

Some of the supplies for the ornaments that Pioneer Works brought came from their temporary location on Imlay Street and others were bought at Michaels, which sells arts and crafts supplies. – Nathan Weiser

At ‘A Few of Each,’ Gowanus artists capture a neighborhood in flux

In some cultures, there’s a belief that death comes not when your heart stops beating, but when you’re forgotten. To remember something is to keep it alive, even if only in your heart. That idea is the key to A Few of Each, the collection of cityscape art currently on display at Gowanus Wine Studio on 3rd Avenue. The exhibition

Vincent Coppola on ‘Gowanus Crossing’

I first met Vincent Coppola in 1961 when we were high school freshmen at St. Augustine High School on Park Place in the Slope. After a career in journalism and some notable books, he’s now ensconced in Savannah, a city which, like Vinny, acknowledges the presence of ghosts. The interview has been edited to leave out the boring bits. Full

People of Red Hook: August 2026

This is New York City, but today nobody’s rushing. People are lollygagging down the streets while the 95-degree heat penetrates their bones. So it’s not too hard to get them to stop and talk to me about their relationships with their phones—the very phones that most of them are staring into before our conversations begin.   Christopher Loyd: I’m trying to
