Greenpoint Fish & Lobster Co.
Greenpoint, Fish & Lobster Co serves up fresh seafood in deliciously shareable portions! Beyond the restaurant component, there's a retail fish market up front, where they sell sustainable (and mostly local) seafood, as well as a variety of prepared foods, spices, condiments, cookbooks, and salt-water taffies.
I would stay at: The Henry Norman Hotel
Surrounded by the flourishing film stages and production offices that have revolutionized and transformed Greenpoint’s industrial sector, the hotel is just down the street from the idyllic Msgr. McGolrick Park, perfect for strolling through its paved lanes, sitting on benches under its majestic grand trees, and taking photos in front of the historic bandstand and monument.
The Henry Norman Hotel is part of an area that still holds a local community and small neighborhood allure. At the same time, it is less than a mile to North Williamsburg, which has transformed into one of the hippest and trend setting areas in all of New York City.
