Greenpoint occupies the northernmost tip of Brooklyn, bordered by the East River, Newtown Creek, and Williamsburg to the south. The neighborhood has a strong Polish heritage - you can still find traditional bakeries and delis along Manhattan Avenue - alongside a growing creative community drawn to waterfront parks, independent bookstores, and a restaurant scene that rivals anywhere in the borough.
The G train runs along Manhattan Avenue as the neighborhood's transit lifeline, with the East River Ferry providing a scenic alternative to Manhattan. Greenpoint is quieter than neighboring Williamsburg but shares the same energy. Jungle Kingdom Flower delivers throughout the area from our Bed-Stuy store.
