Fun area to explore hip shops and restaurants. There are a few roof tops where you can get the best view of Manhattan one of them being the William Dale hotel bar. The parks looked a little rundown and not well-maintained. So were the roads...More

Williamsburg is a very popular area of Brooklyn, with a bar or restaurant on every corner. Lots to do, any type of food you can imagine, and great people watching with the hipsters headed here and there. Find the time to make it over to...More

Walkable neighborhood with lots to eat, see, do and enjoy. Started with brunch at Rabbithole. Good for brunch but not great. Then shooed G-Starr Raw, Timbuktu and Scotch and Soda. Had beer at Brooklyn Brewery. Fun city that's very livable and welcoming.
