What to do and see in Greenpoint, New York (NY): The Best Things to do
It seems like most folks have a grandmother, great-uncle or some other distant relative that used to live in Brooklyn, or perhaps a friend that lives there now. In the early 1900s, it was a mecca for immigrants arriving via Ellis Island. A hundred years later, young professionals and artists left pricey Manhattan digs for Brooklyn's cheaper and more expansive space. Neighborhoods like Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope, which had fallen into disrepair over the years, were restored and reborn as funky enclaves. Walk or bike over the historic Brooklyn Bridge (or ride the subway) to Brooklyn Heights for a stroll along the Promenade and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. Meander through Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens for a taste of nature in the urban wilds. Catch a performance at the world-famous Brooklyn Academy of Music. From the delicious Italian restaurants of Bensonhurst to the Irish bars that line the avenues of Bay Ridge, from the hotdogs and rollercoasters of Coney Island to the bagels and handball courts of Greenpoint, Brooklyn is a state of mind as well as a dynamic community. Discover why, no matter where people move on to, they remain Brooklynites at heart.

One of the more unique Escape rooms I've ever done. The puzzles were not mind blowing or super difficult but the atmosphere was amazing. Great sound effects, creepy visuals, tons of times where you go "do I reeeeeeally want to 'risk my life/sanity/health' to solve the this room. The set up is great and everything is well-thought out. Will definitely return for the other rooms

We did the the Maze and the Curse. The game master was great. He seemed very enthusiastic about the games and helped set a deeper state of immersion with the intro of the stories. We have done escape rooms across the globe and tried several establishments in NYC. Kommata is by far the best. Immersive stories,great technology and the decor is amazing too and right on the money for the stories told. Many games claim to be scary but the Curse truly is. It’s probably the scariest room I’ve done, that didn’t involve actors. We also tried City of Ashes at the BK location which also has quite a few of scares. I definitely recommend these games.We will be back for more.

We had such a great time throwing axes at this place for our first time. Friendly staff all around, including our axe masters who explained everything to us patiently and guided us through some fun games. My only tiny grievance is about the tipping. I had no clue it was expected and not sure what was appropriate. Why can’t this just be a line item included with the total cost, like a service charge? We were having such a great time and then we noticed the sign about tipping and were scrambling to figure it out. It’d be nice if a service charge was built into the price so we could just enjoy the experience. Aside from that tiny snag, we had a great great time and definitely will be going back!
