Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NYC
Landmarked 19th-century rowhouses on tree-lined Kent Street.
Greenpoint in popular culture: Some scenes in the movie The Departed, including the scene where Jack Nicholson's character first meets Matt Damon's character, were shot in Greenpoint across from McCarren Park. The diner and grocery store scenes were both shot in the Park Luncheonette. Several scenes in the movies Donnie Brasco (where Dominick Napolitano portrayed as "Sonny Black" by Michael Madsen was born), Sleepers, Dead Presidents, Romeo Is Bleeding, In the Mix, Street Trash and The Siege were also filmed in Greenpoint. The television series Rescue Me and The Black Donnellys are also routinely filmed in Greenpoint, as are the television shows Third Watch, Boardwalk Empire, "Girls (TV series)", Lipstick
Jungle, as well as Person of Interest, Fringe, Life on Mars, Lie to Me, The Good Wife, Blue Bloods and Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.
An early cultural reference to Greenpoint is found in the first minutes of the film On the Waterfront, in which a minor gangster, after holding back money from Johnny Friendly, is told to "go back to Greenpoint".
