Williamsburg never sits. I have lived in this vibrant Brooklyn neighborhood for six years, though My roots Run deeper – his grandfather owned a jumper of the pride in Graham Avenue in the late 80s and the 90s. At the time, the building was part of the neighborhood growth of the Community of Puerto Rican, which vows the streets through the streets and served the hot food in the house (before renting rent before returning Puerto RicoOrdinary topic of this era). The area has changed massively, those who create young hipsters and cafeteria owners in the 2000s that are amazed by streets and recently shared with the winners. Today, it is true that the remains of northwater has polished loft with designer shops and similar loft Manhattan (or a luxury mall) rather than Brooklyn. But, under the spills, down the lower and east, there are heartbeats mother and pop shops, local divers, lit the same parts of restaurants and stems and green communities. Where you look, the soul of Williamsburg is very intact.
Skip strings and new designer pop-ups. Instead, tap the true texture of the neighborhood: old social clubs with cultural characters, new restaurants with fresh environments and flavors, and fewer bars with fewer scenes (some) to distract the crowd. Eating and play from all places, and there is a lot. These are my favorite and dance and evening, in the Brooklyn forests in my favorite collar.
Where to be in Williamsburg, Brooklyn:
9 AM coffee and comfortable breakfast (or on-go) breakfast
Start your morning easy and head PplMy travel to make a coffee mine, sweet ice with oat milk. It is inner place, with internal plants and with regular cobbled stone. When hunger strikes, correct straight Santa FeA small newly inspired joint in Mexico, where they rotated some of the best burritos I tasted. (The potato version goes if you are vegetarian.) It’s an opposite service in the morning. The lines can be a snake on the weekends, they move quickly and they deserve every minute.
If you want to settle a Sit-Down Brunch, Allswell It is a rural and comfortable feeling, with solid plates and strong coffee (or high-level brunch cocktails), to see people, in solo magazine or a friend you have not seen for a long time.
11 am McCarren Park
It’s late in the morning, it’s time to take the neighborhood route and the McCarren Park is never too far away. For sure, Domino Park is worth seeing, and McCarren feels greener, but so they are more intense, so it is better to see people (see softball game). In the warm months on weekends, the farmers’ market spreads on the edges of the park, the families, local NY farms and sellers produce. Photographers riding with polaroids, and often require you to use your very own photo for a small fee. Food trucks are aligned with sweet and saline chance. Kids in skateboards in the shadow of past dogs. If the sun is high, take a cold drink Parket hamage“It’s not in the middle of the roaring site, in the middle of the park and invite everyone among the park. It is properly chaotic, however, if you decide to eat or drink too much of its proper location.

13:00 Local shop
At the beginning of the afternoon, I like to walk to my favorite shops east. Vintage monk It sits next to the park and never surprised me, the real treasure of eclectic findings, fringe dresses to throw boots perfectly. Some blocks away, Stella Dallas Living The American gallery feels like walking in a commissioner: vintage fabrics, denim worn and beautifully, beautiful and undeniable things you said. Then there is Former formGrand Street Down – it’s in pink and I needed fashion jewelry, stylish gifts and some summer dresses but somehow they took home more than some summer dresses. All can be confident to find spontaneous confidence.
14:30 late (r) lunch
To play a post-purchase hunger, head Anthony and Sons Panini Shoppe Play the Italian sandwich like the heroine properly greasing and completely delicious. If you continue in the park, send away Five leaves For a more classic moment of Williamsburg (and buzz). With the influence of Australia it is the house of the new American touch. That said, here is the killer of the Brunch menu, from which you do not have to empty ricotta tasty pancakes. On-something more, take another bite from food trucks (especially those who serve Mexican Tacos and Bowls) still around the corner of the McCarren. If you think a drink of afternoon, head Mugs grain house. The crowd that does sports night is a living crowd, local, local crowd. This Bedford Avenue Hotspot is crowded. Bonus points when large windows are open. (It serves his bar food Wellalso.)
