Brooklyn-Williamsburg
Travel Essentials:
The rapidly growing Brooklyn area of Williamsburg has a lot to offer if you're willing to
take the journey. The easiest access is by subway. The redefined Williamsburg area will
likely surprise you, as its recycled and renovated industrial buildings hold new apartment
buildings and local businesses. Giving more of a suburb atmosphere than city, this area is a
breath of fresh air from the “big island”. For the adventurous type, head to Bedford Avenue
off the L train for a variety of locally owned boutiques (such as the acclaimed Minimarket

)
, kitschy restaurants, and street
vendors. Walk along the water's edge to get a great view of the Manhattan cityscape.
