Cosy cafés, vegetarian food and the coolest latest trends: Williamsburg is the place to be for that.
For a vibrant, creative neighbourhood with an alternative vibe, Williamsburg is the place to be. You'll find the neighbourhood just across the East River. What was an impassable neighbourhood until the early 1990s is now one of Brooklyn's nicest and most expensive neighbourhoods. You can shop there and find plenty of cafés, bars and restaurants, as well as delicious street food. Be sure to drop in at one of the galleries, too. Williamsburg is a mishmash of nationalities and ages. International students, young couples and families live side by side here. Despite its popularity, there is still the raw charm you expect from Brooklyn here.
