Williamsburg, the coolest place in Broolyn

“Few neighborhoods encompass the Brooklyn experience more than Williamsburg. This was the site of the classic novel, ‘A Tree Grows in Brooklyn,’ and today we can see all the other great things that have taken root and blossomed in this must-see community. It has become a world-famous destination for its trend-setting style, five-star dining and cutting-edge music scene, all while showcasing a fusion of cultures and customs that make its residents truly unforgettable,” said Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams. “I encourage everyone to take a bike, cab, bus, train, ferry or their own two feet down to Williamsburg, whether they be a first-time city visitor or a long-time New Yorker looking for a new adventure!”

“From neighborhood institutions like Bamonte’s and Peter Luger to more recently opened spots like the Wythe Hotel and Brooklyn Winery, Williamsburg is the epicenter the Brooklyn renaissance,” said Marty Markowitz, vice president of borough promotion and engagement at NYC & Company. “We encourage everyone to spend time in and explore this diverse, action-packed and ever-evolving neighborhood that has become a focal point for international and domestic travelers alike.”

Beginning today, Williamsburg is being highlighted as the second feature in a three-part Neighborhood x Neighborhood Documentary series. The videos feature a locals-guide to the neighborhood, focusing on the shops, restaurants, attractions and history that makes every NYC neighborhood distinct and provide further reasons for tourists and locals to get out and explore.
