Fed by the ultra-convenient L train into Union Square, Williamsburg is perpetually one of the hottest neighborhoods in Brooklyn. It is known both for its dense collection of artists, galleries, cafes, restaurants, and nightlife options as well as an eclectic residential population that blends multi-generational Polish, Italian, German, Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Hasidic enclaves with young trendsetters, hipsters and professionals. It is also known as a thriving hub of indie rock.
The Life
Williamsburg offers residents a richly diverse, culture-driven community as well as a vibrant dining and nightlife scene. It is a mecca of inventive restaurants, bars, and funky shops, and low-rise walk-ups and warehouses have been transformed into chic homes and entertainment loft dwellings. There is always something to and somewhere to go, and greenspaces like Bushwick Inlet and Domino Parks are popular lounging destinations with stunning views of the East River and the Manhattan skyline.
