About Williamsburg

Greater Williamsburg is bound by the East River and Varick Avenue as well as Nassau and Flushing avenues. Gentrification beginning in the 1990s has made what was once an unsafe, undesirable area into one of the most in-demand neighborhoods in New York City. Williamsburg is known for its heavy population of hipsters and artists. As popular as Williamsburg has become, it still retains its charm as a refuge from the skyscrapers and madness of much of Manhattan.

Fun Fact: Williamsburg was named after Jonathan Williams—a businessman, surveyor of the land, and grandnephew of Benjamin Franklin’s—in 1802.
