Greenpoint, Brooklyn

Greenpoint, Brooklyn—the underdog neighborhood in terms of what is cool and up-and-coming—is only accessible via the G train (or the ferry), but it’s certainly worth crossing the river, as new restaurants, buzzworthy watering holes and highly-praised tattoo shops have recently opened in the nabe. There’s no denying that Greenpoint is a must-stop destination for out-of-towners and locals alike, especially with hot attractions like awesome flea markets such as Brooklyn Night Bazaar. Best of all, this northern territory of Brooklyn still maintains it’s traditional charm with its historic buildings, waterfront views and large population of Polish natives.
