Grand Army Plaza Library to Greenpoint Library 5 miles

Please do not RSVP for this walk unless you truly plan to attend. Please alter your RSVP as soon as you know your plans have changed. Please read this description 3 or 4 times before asking questions.

Starting at the Grand Army Plaza Brooklyn library where we can use the restrooms, we'll walk 5 flat miles through Prospect Heights, Fort Green, Clinton Hill, Williamsburg and Greenpoint to reach the Greenpoint Public Library, a state of the art new building focusing on environmental education. We'll pass through the Pratt Institute, The Naval Cemetery Landscape, a native plant meadow & pollinator habitat on the site of a former Naval Hospital, and follow the waterfront of Williamsburg and Greenpoint.
Once finished people may decide to lunch at numerous, interesting restaurants on Greenpoint Avenue or bring lunch to a nearby park. If you wish you may join me at Karczma a Polish restaurant. https://karczmabrooklyn.com/en/menu-2/
Several nearby subways include the G and L trains. One may also walk over the Williamsburg Bridge into Manhattan.
