Filling out this form required me to dig through all sort of information about myself and it is the weirdest experience.  It’s like a boring lesson of Harry’s history! Memories, faces, conversations all pop up along with the pieces of paper or dates that i dig up from files.  It’s going to take me a few days to get the whole thing done.  So today while I was working on it.  I look out the window and see how gorgeous a day it is.  I didn’t want to waste a day indoor to fill out a form!  But at the same time, I don’t have any plans or any place to go.  On top of that I just don’t want to spend any money.  So I choose to just take a walk in the neighborhood.

Greenpoint is changing fast.  Just a walk around the neighborhood let me discovered at least 2 new restaurants, two new bars, a few more boutiques and furniture stores that I didn’t know about before.  They are just a block or two away from me!  The restaurant 68 looks interesting, so is the bar “t.b.d.”(To be determined).  I noticed all of the newer stores all pop up on Franklin and West St instead of the main street of Greenpoint – Manhattan Ave.  It seems like a new Greenpoint with hip restaurants and bars and creative class emerged separately away from the traditional main commercial zone of Manhattan Ave.  This main avenue serves the need of the old neighborhood while Franklin and West slowly become the main avenues of the new Greenpoint.  A few big developments are also spotted during my walk in the ‘hood, including the giant condo site on Green and another one on West.  I guess compared to Williamsburg and LIC, Greenpoint isn’t much yet, but it is going somewhere.  I just hope I don’t get price out and will be able to see the neighborhood to continue to evolve even better than now.
