Gowanus and Red Hook

Gowanus Canal

The anchor of the Gowanus neighborhood is this famously polluted canal. The Carroll Street Bridge is the oldest retractable bridge in the US and one of only four left. Recently, the canal and surrounding buildings has been considered for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

Statue of Liberty

Red Hook is the only place in New York where you can get a frontal view of the Statue of Liberty from land.
