Caption: One of my favorite parts about being in Greenpoint is taking the ferry. You can easily get to The East Side, Williamsburg, Dumbo, and in the financial district. It’s so nice to be on the water and to see the Manhattan skyline.

Caption: Greenpoint is north of Williamsburg and south of Long Island city. I think we can say that it is an up-and-coming neighborhood of Brooklyn. It is an old Polish neighborhood that still has an old-school feel.

Caption: I think focusing on the hidden gems is a great way to travel. If I tried to see all of Brooklyn and Manhattan in the five days I was there I would’ve been exhausted. I love finding a new neighborhood like Greenpoint and meandering through it slowly to find all the local gems. There’s so much more in Greenpoint to see, vintage shopping, old Polish restaurants, fantastic restaurants, and lots of small little boutiques. Do you have any new Greenpoint hidden gems to share with me? I would love to know about them!
