Walking tour of Newtown Creek “street ends”

Join Newtown Creek historian Mitch Waxman on a walking tour and discussion on the street ends that lead up to the Brooklyn-Queens waterfronts.

The tour will be on Sunday, July 15 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Eleven bridges cross the creek today. The Newtown Creek Alliance has been working to transform these street ends into inviting public spaces for everyone to see.

The tour will begin in Greenpoint and end in Maspeth near the Grand Street Bridge.

Along the way, the guides will talk about the Greenpoint Oil Spill, the Kosciuszcko Bridge construction and more.

Meet at the corner of Kingsland and Norman avenues.
