India St, Greenpoint

India Street is a very short street in Brooklyn going from McGuinness Blvd to the docks by the river on Kent Ave. India is very quiet and relaxed in the residential part but the area aruond the docks (right by the river) could get a bit hectic. There are factories around and the trucks make it pretty loud. Although there are no stores right on India it is very close to any type of shopping. A few bars on Greenpoint Ave, which is about three blocks away. Recommended for grown ups with no little kids since the neighborhood itself could be unsafe (questionably) at night. Nevertheless, it is a pretty street with trees and close to a park.

I made several visits to India St. while living in the area. The street has plenty of interesting stores, entertainment venues, and restaurants with an Eastern European vibe. It is a safe and interesting place to visit. Parking is easy to find if you scout around the parking meters for a while. Subway transportation is within easy access. The neighborhood is safe and filled with friendly people. Definitely recommended for a visit if you're in Brooklyn.
