"Williamsburg, A great place if you have money!"
Williamsburg has a lot to offer. There are great restaurants, music spots, and young people. In addition to that, there is easy access to the Brooklyn waterfront, where I enjoyed many an amazing fireworks display on 4th of July, or hung out and gazed at Manhattan from a short distance. Rents however, have gotten pretty out of control ( I was living on Bedford Ave in an apartment and paying $1000 for a room). It is definitely not that affordable, unless you have a pretty good job. If you do, there are tiny thrift stores to enjoy, a lovely wine shop on Bedford and great people to enjoy!
