This neighborhood is so nice! Very cute little houses and very different from rest of new york. It was one of the best places we visited when we went to new york and I would definitely go back there for my next visit to new york. A lot of great little shops and restaurants and a lot of trendy people... More

If you want to be a part of the current hipsters location in NYC, then bridge or tunnel it over to Brooklyn and hit the streets. Watch out for hipster bear traps! If see a fedora, thin tie and jeggings on the ground..... Don't touch! More
