If you know Homeland, you know that Dar Adal is always up to something. He heads to the Greenpoint waterfront to meet with an Israeli agent on the pier of WNYC Transmitter Park. Transmitter Park replaced the old WNYC radio transmission towers with a host of trendy urbanite amenities. The park also includes an open lawn, and a publicly accessible wetland area, all crammed into 1.6 acres. Check it out for the unobstructed views of the Midtown Manhattan skyline, with the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building in view.
