Join Our Annual Celebration of Easton’s Claim to Astronomical Fame with Our Star Speaker-Barista and Published Expert on the Matter, Frank Pagliaro

Every December at Greiser’s we celebrate the cosmic 1807 event that put Easton at the center of scientific exploration.
Celebrate and learn about the world-famous meteorite that was observed by Eastonites in the sky before it landed on farmland here on this date, 218 years ago. The event is known as the first documented observation of space stuff landing in North America.
Chunks of our town meteor (officially and misleadingly known as the Weston Meteorite) are held in collections around the world, from the Yale Peabody Museum in New Haven to the Vatican Observatory in Italy. Thanks to our own so-much-more-than-just-a-barista Frank Pagliaro, history was corrected with his 2009 scientific paper, published with the geologist M. Robson, “Weston: Revised position for a historically significant meteorite fall,” in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science.
This year, on Sunday, December 14, from 5pm – 7pm, come to enjoy Frank’s entertaining and informative talk while noshing on an assortment of homemade celestial canapés and cosmic cocktails.
Warning: There’s a strong chance you’ll depart this event inspired to obtain a metal detector and launch a meteorite hunt on your own property. One of our past lecture guests returned the following year for show-and-tell with the specimen he dug up in his own back yard!
Please book your spot in person at the store or online here by December 11.
CLICK HERE TO Join Us OCTOBER 1 FOR OUR FINAL OUTDOOR SHOW OF 2025! TONIGHT 6:00 PM
Greiser’s Coffee & Market is delighted to announce our 6th season hosting outdoor live music and cookouts for our neighbors! We will host monthly events and 8 different musical acts from June thru October.
Sponsorship from four local businesses enable us to pay musicians and keep ticket prices reasonable. Thank you to BCK Arborist, Nick D’Addario Family and Hi Ho Energy Services, Southern Connecticut Ice & Oil, and KRS Roofing of Easton. Your patronage of our sponsors keeps them coming back to support us every summer! (Interested in being a sponsor this season? Contact christian@greisers.com)
This summer we’re bringing back some of our favorite Easton artists — Dan Carlucci and Jim Savage — to play their original folk, blues, and bluegrass tunes, plus the local indie rock act Iris Lies of Newtown and, in September, Rick Reyes of Bridgeport for an Hispanic Heritage month celebration with his infectious Latin fusion.
We’re also excited to introduce you to a few “new to us” acts: Matt Rhone (aka Massive Diva) will join Dan Carlucci on stage on July 2. His booming and soulful voice and harmonica skills are a joy to witness. The Shamie Sisters, who will open for Dan and Matt, are a talented pair of singer-songwriters who happen to be Westport high school students. Twice Around is an original acoustic duo from Milford we just discovered, and the opener for their show, Dylan Dunlap, is a Brooklyn-based songwriter and Eastonite by marriage. Julie Foldesi, our grand finale on October 1 with Jim Savage, is a folk songwriter and Broadway actress who has performed in NYC at Joe’s Pub, The Bitter End, and The Canal Room! We know you will enjoy her country sound and sweet voice!
