Williamsburg

Brooklyn

Fresh, creative, fashionable and at a more mellow pace than its neighbor Manhattan, Williamsburg is host to wide-ranging – and much-sought-after – dining and shopping options. Award-winning restaurants include Lilia’s wood-fired Italian and LCD Soundsystem front man James Murphy’s Four Horsemen – now Michelin-starred. Grand Street – which is arguably the best shopping block in all of NYC – is replete with independent designer boutiques showcasing the perfect edit of emerging and established designers. On your way there, you’ll find the very definition of street style on the always-buzzing Bedford Avenue, which reads like a 24/7 runway show for the effortlessly cool. In less time than it would take on the L from Manhattan to Bedford Avenue (not long!), you’ll start dreaming about taking residence in this self-confident, carefree community.
