Families hanging out, hipsters laying out, skaters, softball players, joggers... it's all here. There's a cute farmer's market on Driggs & Union on Saturdays, too.

A cute flower shop/ coffee shop/ gift shop hybrid. Really nice gifts (jewelry, candles, books, ceramics) by cool brands, including some local ones. (There's an awesome antique store right next door too, who have yet another spot down the street...)

This is a really great boutique butcher that also has a small selection of other delicious stuff. All the meat is local I think mostly from upstate. Airbnb is placing this at the wrong location FYI - It's at Graham Ave and Jackson. The store on Frost St is Brooklyn Kitchen, which is also an amazing home and kitchen store with some local groceries. They have more home products like tools, bakeware, cookbooks, etc and teach classes.

Food Scene

The best pizza in Greenpoint! Some would say in New York. And Paulie is always walking around in a Mets hat saying hello.

Getting Around

This is the closest train station. The G only takes you from Queens to Brooklyn, but you can connect to the 7 to get to midtown at Court Square, or several other trains to get downtown if you head towards Church Ave.

This is the Greenpoint stop on the NYC Ferry. You can head to LIC, Midtown, or Williamsburg, South Williamsburg, Dumbo, and Wall Street. It's a great way to get around but an even better way to see the city. It's only $2.75 (same price as the subway) and most boats even sell wine and snacks.
