Greenpoint's streets carry a lot of history under the cafe awnings: worker housing from the Astral Oil Works, Brooklyn's oldest continuously operating elementary school, and the Polish and industrial roots that shaped the neighborhood. MAS guide Zack Rhodes frames it around how the Civil War, pierogies and pencils built the place. If you live in or love North Brooklyn, this walking tour adds depth to the next brunch.
What to expect
The group meets at a location sent with registration and walks the neighborhood for two hours with stops at historic buildings. Expect architecture, immigration history and plenty of food-spot recommendations along the way. The pace is conversational, with time for questions at each stop.
