Greenpoint is surrounded by the toxic Newtown Creek, seen here.

Greenpointers
I moved to Greenpoint in 2011 and have spent the majority of my time in New York living in the neighborhood. I love the area, there’s always something to do, but it’s very quiet and you really feel like you’re part of the community. Greenpointers highlights events and news going on in the neighborhood. Sometimes I write for them:
