In a recent interview with
Eater, restaurant mogul Michael Huynh discussed his hundred-something new projects around the city and country, and offered the following nugget of news about his plans for Williamsburg:
A spot on the waterfront in Williamsburg. 6,000 square feet. We’ll turn it into a beer garden. Karaoke downstairs. Seafood market, asian style. On North 5th and Kent. We’ll pay for your water taxi.
Well, after a giant suburban multiplex of a
bowling alley, I guess a karaoke-seafood-bratwurst-beer garden in a giant condo tower doesn't seem quite so incongruous, just another step in the mall-ification of Williamsburg. This does, however, raise the important question: what would be on a hipster karaoke playlist? Anyone? (
