Party at the Green Building
Over the weekend, a New Orleans-style brass band marched down Union Street, followed by a well-dressed young man — possibly a groom — on a white, wooden, four-wheeled horse, who was being pushed down the sidewalk by a parade of masquerading revelers in formalwear.

Over the weekend, a New Orleans-style brass band marched down Union Street, followed by a well-dressed young man — possibly a groom — on a white, wooden, four-wheeled horse, who was being pushed down the sidewalk by a parade of masquerading revelers in formalwear. Pumping fistfuls of confetti into the air, they danced toward that big green industrial building on the corner of Union and Bond.
The Green Building on Union, as it now calls itself, has been seeing a lot of activity this summer. Back in July, it hosted the Siren Fest pre-party, featuring Tel Aviv’s wild and primal Monotonix, and it suddenly seems to have formally-dressed folks — wedding guests, we presume — standing around its doors every weekend. According to the photos on its website, the interior looks very raw and industrial, though, thankfully, not garishly green like its outer walls. Has anybody been to a party here yet? GMAP

I peeked in there once, while they were setting up for some event. The space is large and raw, and a big fancy chandelier anchored and centered the whole thing. Don’t know how well insulated it is, but it sure looked pretty.
It’s an all-purpose event space. I’m having my wedding there next fall. It’s gorgeous inside.
A friend of mine rented it and hosted a party there in the spring — it was actually a really amazing space!
No. Furthermore, the building is on Union and Bond, not Smith or Hoyt anything.
Do Smith and Hoyt intersect anywhere?
It’s owned by a Hasidic developer that lets a local rabbi use it for Chabbad services. Yuri Foreman, the rabbi boxer, studies there.
Pretty sure this is a Chabbad. A synogogue doing “outreach” type Jewish programs.
I believe this is the place that also hosts those Jewish singles mixers I’ve seen happening there.
