Returning to Brooklyn today, we find ourselves on this quiet, typical side street in Greenpoint. The rows of older apartments are interrupted every couple of feet by either a new development, or stalled construction. Despite that, the plethora of idiosyncratic details that you can find are quite charming.

There's plenty of trees and plants along the way, though very little as far as commercial presence goes.  Unless you're simply looking to take a walk, there isn't much reason for you to be up this way.
