The boundaries of New York City’s neighborhood is always difficult to figure out. No one can tell you for sure the boundaries between East Village, LES and NoLita, or for a even more confusing fight between the Greenwich Village, West Village, Central Village, and Noho~

In North Brooklyn, it seems much easier because of a natural border of McCarren Park – South of the park is Williamsburg and North of it is Greenpoint. However the easy distinction is slowing eroding – First Williamsburg going from just Northside and Southside, all of the sudden craved out a East Williamsburg and then now South Williamsburg!? then now comes this map which divided up Greenpoint into 13 sub-neighborhoods!! Not only that, they all got funny names!! Sewagetown, Garbagetown??? LOL, bloody brilliant! then there’s the amusing North and South Vinyl Siding! My favorite have to be the Little Loftland!! it sounds magical~ hahaha~ Can I move a couple blocks over to Little Loftland?? cos guess what? I lived in the most normal/boring named sub-neighborhood accordingly to this map – Historical District!
