  • I walk through the entirety of Greenpoint Avenue in Long Island City & Sunnyside, Queens. This street changes drastically throughout its length, starting off as an industrial area and then slowly transitioning into a neighborhood filled with restaurants and shops. I also encounter a street fair that I didn't expect to run into!

    Hiya AK! I came back here to respond to a guestion that someone asked me under my comment this morning and the comment is gone? Smh! Lol..
    I really enjoyed this walk. Much of my family is buried in Calvary Cemetery. There's 4 sections in there AK..
    My family moved out to Sunnyside way back in the 1960's from Hell's Kitchen. It was a great neighborhood. There's been alot of changes through the decades, but I still love it out there as I do Astoria, where I grew up.
    Anyone who knows me, knows I ❤ New York!! Great work AK..

      I think you mean BANTRY Bay. And the B48 bus ends on Meeker, quite a walk from Bantry Bay. In Greenpoint, it would be far easier to walk down to the corner of Manhattan & Greenpoint Aves and take the B24, which stops almost across the street from Bantry Bay Publick House.
