Leonard St, Williamsburg

Since Leonard Street extends from Greenpoint all the way down to where Williamsburg meets Bed-Stuy, this street features somewhat of a range of street life. At its southernmost point, Leonard St is home to city-run housing projects, but as you go further north a few blocks you suddenly find yourself in gentrified Williamsburg and surrounded by wine and food shops, bars, and restaurants.

Bushwick Country Club is located on Grand where it meets Leonard St, and though it sounds fancy it's actually just a local hipster bar - worth a look if you're into that sort of thing. The further north you go on this street the less hipster-fied the neighborhood gets. Though Greenpoint is home to a lot of hip twenty-somethings, there is still a huge Polish population that resides there and Leonard St in Greenpoint reflects this diverse crowd.

Unless you want a tour of rundown buildings and bums. I recommend this street. It looks like the businesses that did occupy this street once flourished. The businesses now are barely hanging on. I wouldn't want to go in any of these resturants to eat anyway. The windows are filled with a 2 inch dust. I didn't even get familiar with the people of this block because i got akward stares like i was suppose to know where i was. Bottom line i won't be coming back.
