Closing Bell: Walking Tour of Greenpoint’s Industrial Past

by

Brownstoner Queens columnist and Newtown Creek Alliance Historian Mitch Waxman is leading a historical walking tour of Greenpoint and the Newtown Creek watershed tomorrow. Hosted by Atlas Obscura, the tour will explore the neighborhood’s past as an industrial powerhouse. In the next few years, northern Greenpoint will be dramatically changed by two huge developments, Greenpoint Landing and 77 Commercial Street, and the tour offers “a chance to see what remains of Greenpoint’s past before the neighborhood changes completely.” The tour is tomorrow, May 17, from 11 am to 1:30 pm. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased here.
