"The very next day, I go to work at a bar in Williamsburg, where I am a bartender. It's a small neighborhood bar with a corner set aside for live music. Guess who walks into the bar? The white guy from the video!"

"The same sloppy East Village aesthetic seems to have taken hold in Williamsburg, with the exception of that main drag near the L train, where the androgynous aesthetic (no judgment!) popular on runways and ads these days provides a surprisingly welcome sight for sore eyes."
Is it just me, or do New Yorkers no longer dress well? · u/DahlingGadfly · ↑206 · 2022-02-14
"Me? I'm the head manager of a non profit that trades Haitian immigrant livers to NFT facilities in Williamsburg. You couldn't even get into Berghain."

"Like a neighborhood that is associated in the public consciousness as being "the place where hip young people live", in the way Greenwich Village was in the '60s or Williamsburg was in the 2000s. It just seems like there isn't one anymore."
Is there even a "cool" neighborhood in New York anymore · u/Renaissance8 · ↑42 · 2022-02-04
"Of course, that Williamsburg itself collapsed into the land of $5 million condos and $2000 strollers and the lamest techies chasing a faded aesthetic was probably inevitable."
"I hadn't been there in years and already felt disillusioned by how different N6th st is. Fucking feels like walking down Madison ave, there's a panagonia where a bar with a half pipe used to be."
