I didn't expect to spend so much time in Greenpoint, however after falling in love with Maya's apartment, and then discovering the incredible neighborhood around it, even Williamsburg seemed like a stretch.
Breakfast at Five Leaves, donuts at Peter Pans, coffee at Grumpy's, beers and burrito's at Calexico's, and incredible shopping on Franklin St! This Greenpoint apartment was the perfect settlement to truly discover an amazing area, and only a two minute walk to the subway for the (surprisingly few) times we wanted to explore elsewhere.

Also recommend making the most of the east river ferry - a very pleasant way to go from Greenpoint to Wall St.
