Brooklyn, New York

Living in Greenpoint

A waterfront neighborhood with deep Polish roots.

Greenpoint, at Brooklyn's northern tip, has a long Polish heritage you can still taste in its bakeries and delis, alongside newer cafés, bars and restaurants.

Its row houses and small buildings are joined by new towers on the East River waterfront, with parks and skyline views along the water.
