Pio Pio Riko Peruvian
Restaurant – The combo Limeno is a ton of food

Salvation Army The local
Salvation army thrift store
Triangolo The nearest pizzeria on Manhattan Ave.

Permanent Records Another nice record
shop. I prefer Record Grouch, but this is a good one to go to afterwards.
Beata Delicatessen A good place to
get a sandwich.
The Thing Junk store with all
kinds of stuff. The basement has many, many thousands of records (mostly
ones that nobody would want), but there are sometimes decent ones out
front.

Sandwich (No. 7 on the specialty sandwiches part of the menu

Other noteworthy Greenpoint establishments
that are located a little farther away
Karczma Great Polish restaurant. The grill plate for three has an
insane amount of meat.
Paulie Gee’s Great upscale pizza
joint. I especially like the pizzas with hot honey and sausage (The Hellboy and the Hellified
Porkpie White)
Krolewskie Jadlo Probably my favorite Polish restaurant in Greenpoint
other than Karczma. The one with the knights out
front.
Acapulco Great Mexican diner
Newtown Creek Nature Walk A very interesting experience
No. 7 Sub Delicious and
interesting subs. I don’t usually like to spend $9 for a sandwich, but when
I do I come here.
Lulu’s A free pizza with
every beer. I usually get the $3 Miller High Life (Champagne of Beers) or the
$5 Low Life (A Miller High Life and a Shot of Whiskey)
Dijifi A great, small
digitization studio. I had them transfer my grandparents wedding film to dvd a few years ago. They did it much faster and
cheaper than other places were willing to. They were also very friendly,
and a young lady working there recognized me from my Banana Song youtube video.
Uncle Louie G’s Great Italian ice
Five Leaves Best burgers in
Greenpoint.
Waste Water Treatment Plant Iconic Architecture
Chinese Musician Best Chinese
restaurant in Greenpoint. I especially like their
house recommendation: The sautéed filet of fish, with garlic sauce

it one of the best places to get kielbasa in the United States.
Peter Pan Donut and Pastry Shop Great donut shop. Huge, delicious cinnamon buns!

to and from Manhattan. The India Street terminal is nearby
Calexico Delicious burritos
