Greenpoint

At the northernmost tip of Brooklyn lies Greenpoint, a historic waterfront community. The neighborhood’s unique placement between three major waterways make it one of the borough’s gateways to Queens and Manhattan. Like much of the city, it is home to residents from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds, but it carries a distinctly Polish American flavor. This is widely recognized as the best place in the city to find borscht and pierogi.
