We were three UK citizens at the end of a 3 week journey to Mass, NY state, VT, NH and Maine. Alisa's apartment in Greenpoint Brooklyn was fantastic. We did everything you'd expect of Manhattan but Greenpoint and surrounding area were a revelation. My 60th Birthday morning was spent with croissants and good coffee on the roof of Alisa's apartment overlooking an amazing skyline. I'd recommend with knobs on (to coin a Mancunian phrase).
