Good news for Greenpoint residents and visitors: NY Waterway’s East River Ferry Service at the India Street Landing has resumed. The ferry ride (six dollars each way) is a beautiful and relaxing ride connecting commuters to the other side of the East River in Manhattan.

The MTA is fixing and fortifying Nassau Avenue to Court Square during a Super Storm Sandy Recovery Project.

Greenpoint is a hidden Brooklyn gem. I encourage you to visit and enjoy this neighbor’s unique personality.
