Williamsburg, Brooklyn Living in Williamsburg

Brooklyn’s neighborhood of Williamsburg, located north of the Williamsburg Bridge, was chosen by New York youth after a 1985 law allowed abandoned warehouse space to be rented out for housing.

By that time, apartment prices in Manhattan had skyrocketed. As a result of this relocation, the once industrial area has become the most vibrant place in Brooklyn.

In place of the former docks and warehouses, lofts (houses converted from warehouses) and clubs appeared, surrounded by street wall paintings — bright graffiti. The main street of bohemian Williamsburg is Wythe Street. It is on it that all the iconic places that determine the appearance of the district are concentrated:

• coffee shops;
• second-hand bookshops;
• vintage clothing stores;
• galleries and ateliers of budding designers.

All this makes coliving here a piece of cake.

The atmosphere in Williamsburg combines old and new eras. The area has an industrial feel due to the many old New York houses in the neighborhood. In addition, you can see a lot of graffiti in the form of art and advertising, which are regularly replaced. If you’re a fan of street art, you should definitely stay in Williamsburg, especially in the north of the block. This part is suitable for tourists who want to live here for 3+ months. The remaining corners mainly consist of residential buildings.

Until recently, there were no brands like Starbucks and J. Crew anywhere in Williamsburg, but recently several large chains have opened their doors in the area. By the way, they are only allowed to open stores that fit aesthetically with the rest of the area, so all these stores have typical Williamsburg elements. Although the tone of the area is still set by small unique shops. On Bedford Avenue, you will find many interesting options.

On the waterfront of the Williamsburg district in Brooklyn, in addition to modern buildings, there is Domino Park. This newly landscaped park on the site of the former Domino sugar factory has been chosen by many Brooklynians as a vacation spot.

This is a nice place to spend time on the East River boardwalk, especially during the warm summer months. The view of the Williamsburg Bridge and Manhattan also deserves attention in other seasons.

New York’s cultural mix is ​​reflected in a wide variety of ethnic cuisines, and Williamsburg in Brooklyn is a perfect example.
