Week 16

The Coast of Brooklyn

If the weather's warm, the shore is where we want to be. This week we look to cover as much BK shoreline in one day as possible. After a hike through inland North Brooklyn, we arrive at the tip of Greenpoint and work our way down the East River, passing all three bridges and crossing the Gowanus Canal. A walk down Second Avenue brings us to Shore Road and the Verrazzanno Bridge. We end the day at Brighton Beach and a long train ride home.

Neighborhoods Bushwick, East Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Williamsburg, South Williamsburg, Navy Yard, Brooklyn Heights, Carroll Gardens, Red Hook, Gowanus, Sunset Park, Bay Ridge, Fort Hamilton, Bath Beach, Gravesend, Coney Island
