Northside Community Garden: The tour started in the North community Garden located at the corner of Driggs Avenue and North 5th St., the Northside of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY. In this park we had the opportunity of interact with different kind of plants, flowers and grasses. ||

Driggs Ave. and 6th St.: as we started to walk in the corner of Driggs Ave. and Sixth Street this beautiful pine tree called our attention. This kind of pine is also known as ever green because they stay green over the seasons. ||

The philosophy of the store is that why don’t you invest a bit more and have something that will last for long time, this is the way they also define the word throwawayism and sustainable design. We kept walking over Bedford Ave. to Tenth St. ||
 * image:file:clip_image012.jpg width="128" height="96" align="left" || 6. Berry St. and Tenth St.: Walking over Tenth St. we saw a paint on the wall. It is obvious that there are many young people in that neighborhood that like that kind of art. ||
 * image:file:clip_image014.jpg width="128" height="96" align="left" || 7. Neighborhood around Wythe Ave. and Tenth St.: the neighborhood there appeared to be quiet, may be because there are many industries, more than condominiums. It looks lifeless and desolated. We walked over Wythe Ave. to Kent Ave. ||
 * image:file:clip_image016.jpg width="128" height="96" align="left" || 8. Kent Ave.: right across of the avenue there is a nice graffiti of a beach. Once on Kent Ave. we saw that the place we were looking for was close. So we kept walking over Kent Ave. to eleven St. were we found Pure Kitchen. ||
 * image:file:clip_image018.jpg width="140" height="115" align="left" || 9. Pure Kitchen: This store is located at Eleventh St. and Kent Ave. this store help the environment because of the way they use their materials to construct their product. The core components of the pure kitchen system are fabricated from a variety of products carefully chosen based on durability, aesthetics and minimal environmental impact. Our casework is fabricated from a completely non-toxic board product that is composed of agricultural by-products. ||

East River Park: This park is located at Kent Ave. and Eighth St. this park has a nice look of Manhattan, also it is good for those people who likes to get summer sun and enjoy the fresh air. East River Park was the last stop in this walk exploring the Northside. ||
 * image:file:clip_image022.jpg width="129" height="96" align="left" || Once I the park we enjoyed of the nice view that this park offers, beside the sun and the fresh air from the river. ||
