With its laidback, waterfront charm, Greenpoint can feel like a quiet oasis in the middle of a big city. Though Greenpoint Avenue is one of the neighborhood’s larger and busier streets, the noise level is still relatively minor in comparison to the rest of New York City.

Why don’t you move to the suburbs. It’s NYC get a life
I’m sorry to say but this happens around the five boroughs. If you can’t handle living around businesses at a busy area like greenpoint then you should move out of the city .

Shoutout Satan Muttonchops for having a great username and a great opinion. I heard that the ones yelling the slurs were teenagers with the parents present.
