Situated by the waterfront in Brooklyn’s northernmost corner, bridging the popular enclaves of Williamsburg and Long Island City, Greenpoint is an eclectic star in the North Brooklyn neighborhood constellation. A somewhat sleepy industrial neighborhood for much of the 20th century, Greenpoint was settled by Polish immigrants who came here to work along the waterfront nearly a century ago. In the 21st century, having been made irreversibly famous by the hit TV series Girls, it has become one of the most desirable residential areas in Brooklyn.

Quirky shops, hardly a chain in sight, and the city's best donuts. Greenpoint is a city neighborhood with the feel of a beach town

Greenpoint is next to Williamsburg, another hip area which has gone through a real estate building boom. There are some great neighborhood shops to look around and a scenic waterfront. You can walk through McCarren Park to Greenpoint or take the G train.

Cute neighborhood with hidden gems of food and drinks, and LOTS of Polish influence if you want a pierogi
