Williamsburg

<p>Located just two blocks from Bedford Avenue, the heart of the vibrant Williamsburg art and restaurant scene, Roebling Square at North 8th blends a prime Williamsburg location with gracious living. These beautifully appointed one and two bedroom townhome-style condominiums offer attractive layouts in a four-story, brick-facade structure with five separate entrances. Clean lines, natural brick and stonework, ample light, and select views shape and define the living spaces. Most homes enjoy garden, balcony or terrace spaces. Top floors feature mezzanines and double height ceilings. Inside, you will find gleaming four wide Brazilian oak floors, ceilings rising over nine feet high, and large windows infusing the interiors with light. Artfully-designed kitchens feature Sapelli wood cabinets, Nero Impala black granite countertops and backsplashes and a full array of GE Profile stainless steel appliances.</p>

Minutes from Manhattan and a gateway to the best of the rest northern Brooklyn offers, Williamsburg is trendy in all senses of the word. Boutique thrift shopping, waterfront food markets, exorbitant brunch cocktails — the works. Sitting along the East River, just over the bridge it shares a name with, Williamsburg is the image that first comes to mind for many when they think “Brooklyn.” Yet, while most probably only think of everything to do off the Bedford Avenue L as “Williamsburg,” the area encompasses so much. Williamsburg is huge. Not even mentioning the other eastward L stations, there’s an entire section of Williamsburg near Broadway (and beyond) under the JMZ tracks, plus more along the G train’s Union Avenue path. Because it spreads out so, the neighborhood is a lively and diverse one that genuinely transcends any one label that may pigeonhole it.

From Village to Town to City of Williamsburg(h), the neighborhood we know has passed through several incarnations — all felt in some way today. After the City of Brooklyn annexed Williamsburg in 1855, many familiar manufacturers set up shop along Broadway, and names like Cornelius Vanderbilt constructed mansions along the river. Decades later, Brooklyn’s incorporation into New York City and the opening of the Williamsburg Bridge facilitated a more diverse and densely populated part of the borough. Artists and musicians flocked from the 1970s into the 2000s, and the area became a proving ground for rising independent performers. As Williamsburg has achieved name-brand recognition, its evolution only continues. Look no further than Domino Park, a greenery on the Domino Sugar Refinery’s former grounds. McCarren Park sits at the extreme northern edge of the neighborhood, so much so that it may be in Greenpoint, depending on who you ask.

History & Culture

If there’s one thing that unites the various portions of the greater Williamsburg area, it has to be the food. Yet, it’s not because of any similarity in style or taste — it’s due to a similarity in greatness. The neighborhood has become the epicenter of the borough’s dining scene. Homegrown joints, local chains, and Michelin-starred institutions are all liable to serve an excellent meal. Standing up there with the food is, of course, the drinks. Dives, wine bars, cocktails at brunch, beer gardens, craft brewery tours, in between concert sets, after picking up a 7–10 split — if you want a place to sip on something, worry not, you’ve got your choices cut out for you. Shopping in Williamsburg is constantly changing, but you’ll still find charming boutiques and vintage shops as well as book and record stores. After all, it’s still Brooklyn.
