Ascenzi Square is the result of two street grids that meet at Metropolitan Avenue in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Roebling Street traverses both grids, making a slight jog to the southwest between North Fourth Street and Metropolitan Avenue. On March 29, 1939, the City Council designated this triangle as Ascenzi Square, in honor of brothers Joseph and William Ascenzi, residents of Williamsburg who were killed in the First World War.
