Actually, the show will be based at 118 Greenpoint Avenue, a couple blocks up from the Greenpoint waterfront. And about a dozen blocks from the nearest public access to the waterfront.

(Three years after the Greenpoint-Williamsburg Rezoning, and there still is no construction on the Greenpoint waterfront, and no public access to the Greenpoint waterfront. Transmitter Park is the closest to being reality, and that is still on the drawing boards.)

See item #1 (apparently, Brooklyn Papers thinks North 5th Street is in Greenpoint).

(And regarding #4, I don’t know about you, but when I’m walking around with 21 grand, I tend not to leave it on random park benches. Maybe that’s just me.)

A really good overview of what WW is (and isn’t) all about (with a cameo by yours truly).

From Gothamist, a comprehensive map of NYC’s walkability (based on Walkscore, which I linked to in the past). NYC comes in second to San Francisco in terms of overall walkability.

The average home now costs $663,946, and condos are averaging over $650 per square foot. With literally thousands of new units in the pipeline, it will be interesting to see where those numbers are in a year or two.
