We don't know everything about Greenpoint; we are not even sure how many Polish people live there. While Polish institutions have not collected solid data, U.S. statistics indicate that five years ago there were 17,000 Poles in Greenpoint, including those members of the community born in the United States. That's fewer people than we may have thought, but still a sizeable group, especially since they constitute over 43 percent of the population in the neighborhood.
Now don't get me wrong,,, It's cool that we had/have a "little poland" here in the US but greenpoint is/was a Sh1thole, full of exploitation and filth. it's about time people smartened up and moved on,
no self-respecting person would want to live there
I wouldn't say that, compared to some other neighborhoods in Brooklyn it doesn't look too bad, if they wanna build affordable housing go ahead, but do it for the current residents.
Damn in Green Point?! I may become unpopular here but Green Point is such a depressing sh!thole or at least it was when I paid it a brief visit, made even briefer the moment I 'touch-downed' there lol you could say I bounced back.
I've been there like 10 times it is a good club on the first floor there's a bar with a pool table on the second there a dance floor with a bar and a VIP room, it's pretty good. The other Polish Club EXIT is more for the younger crowd, alot of barely 21 year olds ;)
Can anybody direct me to where the sexy older Polish women hang out, especialy the over 40s? I'm an older guy who is very attracted to the sexy Polish older women.
A video about how New York's Greenpoint, a traditionally Polish neighborhood, is seeing a change in it's demographics because of increased ethnic diversity and Poles returning to their homeland.
There is still plenty of Polish people in Greenpoint. That area changed a lot, still lots of Polish business but now a lot of new places opened up. Great cafes, bakeries, fresh food, European cosmetics and products, a couple of good hair salons. It is clean and it is EXPENSIVE. I worked in real estate for two years and many people (American speaking ones) is looking to rent there. Apts have crazy prices. Also, there is a lot of new modern bldgs. Streets are small, apts are pretty small too, not my style but it has its beauty.
