Brooklyn
Sublets in Greenpoint
Polish & waterfront
The northern tip of Brooklyn, historically Polish and still unmistakably so. Low row houses, a working waterfront turning into parkland, and a view of Midtown across the East River. Williamsburg is next door but Greenpoint has kept its own pace.

The East River ferry to Midtown and Wall Street, which on a clear morning beats the G train.
