Puss N Boots

Before

0.3 mi · 7 min walk - Williamsburg

Thirty-five acres straddling the line between Williamsburg and Greenpoint, opened in 1906, with a running track around the playing field and a WPA-era pool at the Lorimer Street end. Sunday afternoons the soccer pitches are all in use. It is the one piece of open ground both neighborhoods share.

After

0.2 mi · 5 min walk - Williamsburg

Family run since the 1980s on the corner opposite McCarren Park, with a pool table and cheap beer and the ball game on. It opens at 11am and does not close until 4am, every day of the week. Nothing about it has been updated to match what went up around it.
