Quiet, tree-lined streets teem with friendly residents and homegrown shops—combining the best of new and old Greenpoint. Kielbasa, cannoli, soda bread, pierogi: all of these are on sale in the shops of Manhattan Avenue, operated by the descendants of the families who established the neighborhood. Meanwhile, on and off the avenue, the offerings multiply, with hand-crafted espresso, mid-century furniture and salt-water bagels. Experimental movie theaters thrive next to independent bookshops, an indoor skate bowl, a bowling alley and the borough’s most extensive organic supermarket, the Greenpoint Natural Market.
