Wondering what’s happening today on Bedford Ave during “Williamsburg Walks?” In addition to claiming the streets for pure pedestrian enjoyment, here’s a schedule of activities and names of organizations who will be present.
BLOCK BY BLOCK
N8th – N9th Southside CSA Block — Seasonal Spring Eating
Southside CSA, a grassroots group that supports getting produce and products from local fields to Brooklyn kitchens, is sponsoring a block at Williamsburg Walks dedicated to food activism and activities. For all workshops, discussions, and events, some seating will be available, but we encourage you to bring your own beach chairs for guaranteed comfort!
John Ricco, owner of Grandma Rose’s — a brand spankin’ new pizza and homecooking joint at the corner of Graham and Meeker set to open on June 17 — sent the WG an advance copy of their menu today, and it’s more clear than ever that it’s a godsend for Graham area residents looking for good, cheap eats.

The Vinny Abate Era officially came to a close on Tuesday night in Williamsburg, after a turbulent meeting that had to be one of the wilder ones in the chairman’s nearly 30-year tenure. The night’s agenda included the city’s controversial Broadway Triangle plan, the city’s controversial Kent Ave bike lane plan, and the closely-contested (but not as controversial) election of Abate’s successor.
