Williamsburg
Oh, Williamsburg. High rises were built and yuppies moved in, pushing the artists east, the natives out, and overcrowding an already overcrowded L train. But you know what? You’re still the go-to neighborhood for interesting people trying to do interesting things, whether it’s open a vegan fast food joint, a free trade coffee roaster, or an art studio for building bicycles. So, we still respect you for that. It’s just that you could use some more parks, maybe? (Sorry you keep getting screwed when it comes to opening up the waterfront.) And also, your architecture sucks.
