Except for the G, to get to any other Borough, you have go through Manhattan.

Immediately to the left, there's an old 19th Century brick warehouse that looked like it was turned into condos the last time I was there.

That's near the intersection of Coffey and Ferris Sts. in Red Hook. You can see it in this GoogleMap.
have you ever taken the B61 for any distance? it takes over an hour from greenpoint to red hook.
