Our Carroll Gardens Correspondent stopped into Williamsburg’s Church of the Transfiguration, the Russian Orthodox church on Driggs Avenue between N. 11 & N. 12 Street over the weekend and sent along some lovely photos of the interior, which we’ve never seen. The church is a dominant element on the skyline near McCarren Park or, at least, it was before the buildings on Karl Fischer Row (Bayard Street) went up.

    It also the exterior shot for the Latvian Orthodox church in the Seinfeld episode where Kramer unwittingly seduces a nun with “The Kavorka”.
