The neighborhood

Williamsburg

South Williamsburg is a neighborhood of contrasts — the Hasidic Jewish community's established blocks sit alongside newly arrived artists and young professionals. Broadway cuts through with discount shops and Dominican restaurants, while side streets reveal hidden cafes and galleries.
