While much of our coverage of the Brooklyn blizzard has been focused on the south portion of the borough, there have been loads of awesome shots submitted from Williamsburg and Greenpoint today! Below, find a selection of those shots and stay warm tonight!!!

Adam Lerner trekked out in Williamsburg to capture local folks braving the streets:

Anyone living in Brooklyn is familiar with this scene. Wires strectched out across the street, Haddad trailers up and down the block, neon “No Parking” pamphlets on every tree, street sign, and lampost, up and down the block. Ask any of the locals “What are they shooting?” you get back the response “Who cares.” Brooklyn is fairly inundated with commercial, tv and film shoots. Seems like most people don’t pay it any mind.

I guess spotting Jason Schwartzman in your neighborhood cafe is kinda exciting, and it’s supposed to be good for the local economy…but driving around for 5 minutes for parking in Greenpoint, what gives?

I finally found parking and also a sweet sunset on Greenpoint Ave last night before getting some amazing pizza at recently opened Paulie Gee’s. They serve Neopolitan style pizza made in an oven the owner brought over from Italy. Staff was super friendly and attentive and the pizza was amazing.
