'''Outlook''' is a small neighborhood in central [[Broker]], [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]], centered around its namesake public park, Outlook Park. It is bordered to the north by Earp Street ([[Downtown Broker|Downtown]]), to the west by Oneida Avenue ([[Rotterdam Hill]], [[East Hook]], and [[Hove Beach]]), to the south by Gibson Street (also Hove Beach), and to the east by Montauk Avenue ([[South Slopes]]). | '''Outlook''' is a small neighborhood in central [[Broker]], [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]], centered around its namesake public park, Outlook Park.

Outlook's residential area is bisected by the park and, as a result, both sub-areas have developed their own characters. The western part, along Oneida Avenue, has more of a trendy, hip vibe, almost certainly due to the street being the main drag of the area. The sense one may have while walking through this portion of the neighborhood almost completely contrasts the feeling one would have traversing through the lively Downtown district to the north. This portion of Outlook can be seen almost as a southern extension of Rotterdam Hill, also bordered to the north. | Outlook's residential area is bisected by the park and, as a result, both sub-areas have developed their own characters.

Aside from Outlook Park, the [[tw@|tw@ Internet Cafe]] at Cisco Street and Oneida Avenue is a popular destination in the neighborhood. Soldier's Plaza, at the northeast end of the neighborhood, is also a very famous monument and serves as a "gateway" to the neighborhood. Additionally, [[Native American Engines]], a [[Spray Shop|spray shop]], is situated on the southern end of the neighborhood. | |||

[[File:Soldier'sPlaza-GTAIV-northwards.jpg|240px|right|thumb|Soldier's Plaza in GTA IV, consisting of an arch centered around five columns, is located on the northeast end of the neighborhood.

Outlook Park is obviously supposed to be [[:wp:Prospect Park (Brooklyn)|Brooklyn's Prospect Park]]; however, the neighborhood itself can't be as easily tied to a specific Brooklyn neighborhood. Western Outlook can be seen as a tribute to the perimetrical neighborhoods of Prospect Park, specifically to its north ([[:wp:Fort Greene, Brooklyn|Fort Greene]] and [[:wp:Clinton Hill, Brooklyn|Clinton Hill]]), while eastern Outlook contains elements of the neighborhoods and areas to the south (in particular, [[:wp:Grand Army Plaza|Grand Army Plaza]] and Prospect Park's eagle columns) and [[:wp:Downtown Brooklyn|Downtown Brooklyn]]. | |||
