The night here
Greenpoint is quieter than Williamsburg to the south. Its night runs along Manhattan Avenue, which has the most licensed venues, and Franklin Street, Greenpoint Avenue and Nassau Avenue. The neighborhood’s long Polish history still shows in its delis and bakeries, alongside newer bars and restaurants.
The only subway is the G, which runs all night but only every 20 minutes or so after 1 a.m. and doesn’t go into Manhattan; the L at Bedford Avenue is roughly a 15- to 20-minute walk from central Greenpoint.
When it gets loud
586 complaints about loud music or parties at bars, clubs and other businesses were made to 311 from here in the last 12 months (180 per km², #14 of 24). 57% came in between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m., and 46% on Friday and Saturday nights.
Each row is an evening running into the next morning (the Saturday row ends Sunday at noon). Darker = more complaints. Source: NYC 311 service requests, “Noise – Commercial: Loud Music/Party”.
