2010 Jan 18: A jaunt through Greenpoint, Brooklyn

Though I’ve only lived in Greenpoint for a month, I’ve been familiar with it ever since I moved to Brooklyn two years ago. It’s pretty much synonymous with being a Polish neighborhood, though being on the fringe of Williamsburg it also has its fair share of hipsters and young people. Its establishments are equally diverse. Today, I ventured to the other side of the ‘hood to Franklin Ave and perused a few of the shops. Mostly, I just walked/biked around because it was too nice of a winter day (blue skies!) not to be outside. That’s all it usually takes to make me happy – what can I say, it’s the little things in life :)
