7. Newtown Creek Nature Walk

6.8
Paidge street, Brooklyn, NY
Aussichtspunkt · Greenpoint · 14 Tipps und Bewertungen

ExperiencesExperiences: OK, not ON a boat, but some of its walkways are boat-inspired, as an homage to the (v. polluted) Newtown Creek's past glory as an industrial waterway. We once saw it used as a kayak landing. #BADidea
