The Forgotten NY crew set out on one of their group tours las month. Destination: East Williamsburg, a neighborhood whose boundaries not everyone can agree on. Forgotten NY proposes a clean solution: “Anything south of the BQE, north of Flushing Avenue, and east of Humboldt Street is East Willie,” writes Kevin, though he admits that there’s a reasonable argument to be made for making Maspeth Avene the northern border. Among other interesting finds on the walking tour was the Greenpoint Hospital. Built in 1914, the group of buildings in located on Maspeth between Kingsland, Jackson and Debevoise Avenues. These would make much better condos in our opinion than anything new that’s getting built in the area. Lots more good stuff on the link.
